Well, yeah, I actually was that busy. But not anymore, which is why I found time to post here. I mean, I haven't been on head-fi in almost two months. But it's all good. As for airing grievances on a public forum, I didn't think I would cause such a ruckus by asking if anyone else had slow...

Of course I will update the situation whenever it gets resolved. Who knows, they may have sent me my money back already, lol. As for not having a reason to complain...sorry man, but 5-6 weeks should've been plenty of time either way. And these days, email contact is as ubiquitous as a phone...

I was using my hotmail account, but I don't think it would be filtered, since I have spoken with Mario at Headroom before via email and he answered all my questions, though like you guys said, they are busy people and it takes a few days or so. But I'll give them a call, since I have more...

Has anyone ever had a problem getting a refund from Headroom? It's been greater than 30 days, and I have had NO information as to the state of a pair of headphones I returned to them over a month ago. I have sent a couple of emails, but there have been no replies. At the very least, it would be...

Hopefully, when I go back home tomorrow, the local hi-fi stores have some Sennheisers. It will be interesting to be able to do a direct comparison between my Beyer DT880s and AKG 501s.

The AKGs are comfortable, but I prefer the Beyers still. They are heavier, but the fuzzy gray velour really is plush against your skin. You'll forget you have them on, whereas the pads on the AKGs can get tiring on your face. They seem to get a little hotter, but unlike pleather, they don't get...

I just got the 501, and haven't really burned it in yet (currently about 20 hours), but it's growing on me. The midrange on these is sweet. Way better than my Beyer DT880, which I love to death. The bass is a bit light, as far as extension and impact. But it's tight and articulate, which is...

Quote: There is no perfect headphone, if that's what you're looking for. Of course I know this. But that doesn't mean I can't try to get as close to what I want. Like I said, I love my Beyer DT880 for most everything, but there are just a few things that sound so good on the AKG...

I can't seem to find info for the AKG 340...are these discontinued models? Also, has anyone had a cable upgrade for their AKG 501's? The headphile stuff looks like it might be able to balance the sound out a bit more, adding more bass and getting a better balance between the mids/highs. I...

Quote: Maybe someone could cook up a headphone that has all three drivers of the headphones you mentioned and set the crossovers so that highs would go to the DT880 drivers, mids to the K501 drivers and lows to the Grado driver.... It would be $$$, but so is the Orpheus, yet a luck few get...

Quote: Sounds to me like you need the SR325i. It has the highest highs of the Prestige Grados, it has the deepest bass of em too, and it's bass slam is impactful and energetic and won't put you to sleep like a Senn. And the mids...if you think the K501 have nice mids, wait until you hear...

Thanks, good to know. Browsing through the forum, I get the sense the HD595 would have a stronger bass but not quite the sparkly, exciting highs in the Beyers and AKGs. But then there's talk of the "laid back" Sennheiser sound. I assume that the 595 is not anywhere as laid back as say, the 600...

Man, head-fi is slowly going to make a pauper out of me! Anyway, as I stated in my very first post here, my first "real" headphones were the Beyer DT880s. I love these cans, they are detailed, have a nice soundstage, and have a very in-your-face front row sound. I thought they were very well...

I just saw this thread. How much of an improvement did the Micro amp gain from having the Desktop module installed? My micro module sounds great with my Beyer DT880...really brings out more of a midrange, but this is my first and (so far) only amp, so that doesn't really mean much. Sound...

For an extra $40, you can get the Beyer DT880 shipped from B&H Photo. And these have an excellently balanced sound, that gets even more impressive when amped. You will absolutely need an amp to get the most out of this headphone. The Sennheiser HD 600 refurbed is under $200 at Amazon, I...

Quote: Maybe it's just the opamp I'm using, but so far I have to say I like this little guy a lot more than the Gilmore Lite. The sound is rich, dynamic and smooth. I would still like to hear an SR-71, but I don't feel like I gave up too much in the way of SQ with the SM. There are probably...

Quote: but he but he says that the micro isn't in the same leaguesays that the micro isn't in the same league Why did he say this? Not trying to argue since I have never tried an SM3, but considering these two are in the same price class, I am just wondering. I'm talking mostly about...

I got my Micro amp today. Plain vanilla Micro, no Desktop module or anything. This is my first amp, so this won't really be a big "review" since I have nothing to compare it with, but I just want to touch on a few things. The size...it's bigger than I would've liked, but it's not HUGE or...

Quote: Good bass detailed and comfortable for short periods of time very good insolation I use them at home whilst one my computer and they suit me down to the ground. They do fold up but they are still quite large phones Are you talking about the 750? Someone recommended to...

So do the cats that like these mainly use them for DJ and Studio work? That DOES seem to be the target market for these. The 750's seem too expensive. But the 650's are reasonable...though still high. Is there another option that has the capability to fold down as compact as the...

I was wondering if anyone here tried any of the UltraSone headphones. I noticed headroom had no comments or ratings of their headphone line, but these look interesting to me. The key feature that caught my eye was that these cans could fold into a more compact formation, and the cups seem to...

A really good amp will tighten everything up, as well as let you turn up the volume more on high impedance cans. Really, if you're spending money on high end cans, there's no reason NOT to have an amp. A really good amp will probably, as far as I can see, last longer in the long stretch than...

Quote: So.. how do I go about getting the square kind of TOSLink to a mini? Square from sound card => mini on the DAC Thanks a lot for the reply! They make cables that are built like that already, or you can just buy a toslink cable and ask for an adapter, which should be...

Quote: The Micro DAC uses a Mini Optical In - if I purchase something like a Glass TOSLink do I need a Mini convertor? If so, where can I get one? Well, there are two kinds of TosLink connectors. There are the "square" kind which fit in a square jack, and there's a mini toslink that...

They do sound better after a while, but after trying more neutral phones, and then going back, it is apparent just how bad the bass overpowers the general sonic range. If you are looking for some thump down there, these are cool. I still use them when I'm listening to hip-hop but need to use an...
