I need a pair of closed cans for tracking/music production. These are at a similar price point and both have good reviews. What say ye?

Quote: Alright, thanks.

A quick question that's probably been asked before: how do you fit the foam pads along with the earpads? If you lay the foam pads first, the earpads won't be able to 'click' in place.

Anyone now the cheapest source for HD650 earpads in the EU?

Surely someone's made a comparison?

I'm looking to buy a pair - would like input on the current price level as well. 

Quote: Thanks a lot. Are you 100% positive that it's the same phone apart from the accessory pads?   On another tangent: if you were to choose between K27x (closed series) and K24x (semi-closed series), which would you prefer? I've given up on finding a pair of K340. Application...

I've seen the K272 and K271 priced the same. Which should I go for?

Bump. Surely someone has an opinion on the Dr. Dac Nano vs. uDac-2?

Reviving this thread. Anyone since compare every model of K240 - Sextett, Studio, DF, Monitor, MKII? 

Thanks. How about the K240 Studio (mark one)? I can get these for £40.

I don't think I can get my hands on the K340, nor the K270 Playback. But looking into the 27x series. What's the best bet there - the K271 MKII? Or the K270 Studio (two drivers like the Playback)? Other?   I value resolution and neutrality above anything. Going for a closed design this time...

So the K271/272 are superior to say the 240/241?    What is the difference between K271 MkI and MKII?

?

Quote: Thanks! Care to elaborate why?

I've done a little research, and these are my top options:   Esi Dr. Dac Nano NuForce Icon uDAC2

I've come to realise the headphone output of my MacBook isn't very good. So I'm looking for a conveniently sized headphone amp/DA converter to plug into the USB port. It'll drive my Panasonic HJE900 as well as Sennheiser HD650.   What are the options, what do you recommend?

Merry Christmas everyone.    Just got home with the HJE900s (gift from my parents that I bought myself).    Man, are they bright!? And revealing, detailed. But bright! I wasn't expecting this degree of treble. Is it a question of burn-in? Else I'm gonna look towards another solution. 

Quote: Anyone else feel the Re-Zero are more analytical than the HJE900? I don't mind going through several IEM to get the best for my application. 

Anyone know what the 'mod' to the HJE900 in the spreadsheet is?

I just bought the Panasonic HJE900 for £95. The reviews seemed favourable (ranking high in the spreadsheet posted). 

I heard from a musician about the JAYS q-JAYS. They're £85 in the UK. Any of you know about these?

By the way - the foremeost application will be producing/mixing music, a passionate hobby of mine (don't know why I forgot to say in my first post in this thread), when traveling with my laptop. So I need an IE that's transparent and neutral, unhyped. If that's even possible at this price point?
