Not a portability issue, the little looks small enough that i can take it with me when i take my pc to a friends house for the weekend or something. Its more of a cost vs performance issue, i've never had an amp or nice headphones before so i'm sure even the TA will be significantly better...

Hey guys, I have a Total A. on order from headroom with a pair of HD580's. This my very first amp and headphone other than widely hated sony's to own and i'm really looking forward to it. However, i'm hearing alot of people say that there's an immense differece between the Total Air and the...

Oh dear, these are quite disturbing thoughts...hope headroom isnt really shipping me something thats not right like that. I dont know enough about electronics that i would have known, i'll have to make sure when i get it. On another note...i'm gonna start a new thread asking for comparisons...

I just ordered HD580's and a Total Airhead 9v from headroom this afternoon, i asked about the AC adapter and they said its an extra 12.95 option. I added it myself...for 13 bucks you'll save alot on batteries if your using it at home much.

Thanks MacDEF, i'll definitely keep that in mind. I just called headroom up and ordered the total airhead with wall power adapter and HD580's. If i find the 580's not to my liking, too harsh or just plain not worth 200 bucks i'll try the 250-80. From what people have said though i think...

***William Flies through the roof*** Exactly what i'm looking for, someone who's heard one of these, loves it, and can recommend it to me, i'm off to buy it. That's what i really wanted was to know if it'd actually work really well or not-)

If i could strangle people across the internet. I would. Is it like a law that people do the complete opposite of what you ask for?

I've been doing searches on alot of different headphones...my eye's are starting to hurt from 10+ hours of forum reading here and elsewhere. I'm pretty well settled on a Headroom Total Airhead 9v as its the best amp i can afford. I dont think from what i've read that the V6 puts out the...

Sorry i kinda came across as close minded...just been frustrated with the lack of usefull information i'm getting from most places when i try to compare headphones. If i understand you guys right, ya'll think that the HD580's would probably be the best place to start for all around sound off...

I mentioned in my post, auditioning is just not possible at all in my case. NOWHERE around here seems to carry this stuff. The Herculees GTXP 6.1 is basically the priemier consumer sound for pc's. Its not a professional card but its the best consumer one out there for music and games. It...

I gathered that much from other posts, but thats not what i'm asking I'm asking about the AKG 501's and the possibility of maybe HD600's for my specific setup. What i wanna know is if people think if those 3 items in combination would give me really nice entry level audiophile sound or would i...

Howdy everyone, i'm rather new the audiophile scene and i've been doing alot of research on headroom.com audioreview.com steriophile.com and other places but unfortunately there's nowhere near where i live that i can audition the headphones and amps i'm interested in. So, here it goes. I...
