Despite being only 80 Ohms, the DT770 Pro-80 is actually rather tough to drive.  It sounds great with an amplifier out of my computer, I can even make them shake if I equalize them for it, but when used in a portable setup I just couldn't give them enough power to really push them, especially...

While I don't know the exact size of the DT250 headband padding, there is a way for you to find out.   I just measured my DT770 Pro-80's headband padding after taking it off my DT770 and unfolding it.  It measures 3.75" wide by 8.5" long.  When folded, the entire thing is about one and a...

At my college:   Another pair of Ultrasone PRO 900's besides mine. Several ATH-M50's Beats Justbeats Bose QC2, OE2, Triport, etc. Skullcandy Skullcrushers, etc. Sennheiser HD201/202/203/205/280 AIAIAI TMA-1   Saw someone wearing a Bose QC2 with the headband floating behind the...

RadioShack plugs suck, I once used one too, and it failed within two weeks.   I used this Neutrik 3.5mm 90 degree plug for my HD205-II when the plug broke.  It has a fully-metal housing and is angled at 90 degrees, which helps prevent the plug from damaging the jack if you bump into it with...

About the most you could do to the Beats Mixr is try to stretch out the headband to decrease the pressure on your ears.  Make a stack of books a little wider than your head, then leave the headphones stretched out over them overnight.  This stretches out the headband a bit.   Beats...

Maybe I'm just crazy.  Then again, I am coming from a DT770 Pro-80, which is the king of isolating headphones as far as I've heard, especially with the leather aviation ear cushions.  However, if anyone's looking to get more isolation out of their PRO 900 without doing difficult pad mods like...

I just got an Ultrasone PRO 900.  Like, just picked it up from the mailbox an hour ago.  After putting it on my head, I quickly realized that these are the best headphones I've ever listened to.  They don't have that congested feel of closed cans, have the huge bass impact of my Beyerdynamic...

Under $300:   Beyerdynamic DT770:  $150-$200.  These things are kinda light, and are amazingly comfortable, the best of any headphone I've ever tried.  You can also order leather cushions (EDT300L) from the company for more comfort and isolation.  They also have a lot of bass, and excellent...

From my own experience, you would not like the Beyerdynamic DT770, solely because of how hard it is to use portably.  It doesn't fold up at all, and the ear cups don't swivel.  This means you can't even wear it around your neck comfortably. Otherwise, they are excellent headphones with an...

Sennheiser HD280 Pro was my first real headphone.  Moved on to a DT770 Pro-80, loved it for the isolation, treble and bass response, but the recessed midrange is starting to get to me a little.  The HD280's with the tack mod and Beyerdynamic velour pad replacements sounded so much better for...

From my own experience with the HD205-II, they are very balanced and good looking headphones, but the ear cushions clamp the backs of my ears so much that my ears hurt over an hour or so.  You can modify them with replacement pads later like I did, but that takes time and effort on top of more...

I suppose I'm a bit of an exception, as I usually carry my headphones on my head.  You can use the A700 portably if you really want to, but it won't fit in anything smaller than a backpack.  I'm trying to figure out a way to modify the swivels to rotate more so they can fold flat, but no...

From my own experience with the ATH-A700, they are very good headphones, pretty durable and sound great, and are a little .  The one thing you cannot get around though is just how huge they are, with the massive ear cups and the two headband wires sticking up in the air..  But I still manage to...

Quote: Haha, I might just have to pick up a pair for Humans vs. Zombies at my college.  Wearing my old set of HD280's was a little excessive for running around with nerf blasters, especially with that ridiculous curly cable.   Plus these have cool features like the rotating ear cup...

Quote: I would certainly hope not...  O.O   On a different note, now I really really want an HD25.  Crash-test proven!

I would greatly advise against the Beats Solo HD, as those headphones have the weakest build quality I have ever seen in a headphone.  I hear stories about people breaking them all the time.  That, and they have no midrange really, just bass.   Sennheisers are not good for bass quantity at...

The HD25-II is one of the most popular DJ cans of all time, I can't imagine there being batch issues with these cans.  But if you are really unsure, there's nothing to lose in getting a replacement under warranty.   Quote: Darn, you beat me to it :P

Hehe, I was scared for the longest time that my HD280 Pro was broken, because the right channel kept cutting out.  Then I looked at the 3.5mm plug on my LOD cable, and saw it was sticking out slightly.  Pushed it in, and the problem was fixed instantly.  That was a huge relief, especially since...

Did your headphone plug get pulled out of your player ever so slightly by any chance?  Try this out yourself.  If you gently pull the plug of your headphones slightly, so that it dislodges, the right channel cuts out, while the left channel keeps playing.   Your headphones might not have a...

iPhone 4, in an Otterbox with a FiiO E7 attached to the back with velcro.  People look at my cellphone like I'm crazy.  It barely fits in my pocket anymore.   On the plus side, I'm one of the few with a digital screen on both sides of my cellphone :P

In order to get some seriousness in this topic...  Maybe...   The Sennheiser HD25-II seems like it would work nicely.  It has a split headband which seems like it can be extremely stable on one's head, and it's closed for decent sound isolation.  It also has a rotatable ear cup for...

I didn't make the second post.  That was someone else contributing to this, which is part of the point of this thread, as I can't possibly find all the mods myself.  I added his links to the actual directory above.  I know how to use the edit button :P   I was talking about formatting.  I...

If you have a better way of organizing this, I am open to suggestions.  This was just an idea I wanted to get started.   I'm sure someone can do a much better job organizing this than me, but nobody has even started such a thread like this before, at least not one I could find by searching...

The Sennheiser HD280 Pro doesn't need an amplifier so much as a good equalizer.  They have a very anemic low end unmodded and unequalized.  But with the popular "tack mod" to increase bass and a good equalizer, you can get the low end up to very acceptable levels.  The HD280 takes equalizing...

You could try adding headphone padding to the underside of the SRH750DJ headband, like what this guy did with his Ultrasone Pro 900 - [Link] The padding he used is split in the middle, perfect if you have a pointier head.   As for headphones, one you physically can't go wrong with is the...
