I have a family member that is currently on my account at the same time as me (I didn't know that you could do that) and he is posting crap that I would never say. He just said "boy do i hate audiophiles" and I had to edit it to say this. I sure hope he doesn't get me banned.

Wow! I guess I need to stay out of the Sound Science section of the forums . . . I didn't understand any of this at all (don't bother trying to explain . . . I'm sure that you won't be successful in educating me) 

Oh wow I am stupid! I was looking at the "Glossary of Terms" here on head-fi (as I am still VERY much a newbie) . . . I guess I didn't really know what balanced headphones were beforehand (I thought that it meant simply that the lows, mids and highs are more balanced/the headphones had more of a...

The Great Escape: 5 out of 5, 10 out of 10 (whichever scale you prefer).

Does it take a while for your name to change or something? I had Currawong change my name but it says my name is kingalekay still and it says "Formerly known as kingalekay" under that so I can tell that my name was changed.

Oh that is simply terrible news! obobskivich already said that there is a bass roll off in the T 70 p's and the AKG's have LESS bass? Uh oh . . . 

I know that there is no way to prove it to you but I assure you I am definitely NOT a "basshound" haha.

Quote: I swear that 99% of all headphones have recessed mids . . . how come hardly any manufacturers make headphones with present mids . . . most headphones have at least slightly recessed mids.   EDIT: I am so glad that I changed my profile picture . . . I hated it . . . in fact I...

Quote: I sure hope that that doesn't mean the K550's have a bass rolloff I don't like it when headphone manufacturers try and trick you into thinking that their headphones have more clarity/more detail when in reality they just have a bass rolloff.

Quote: Thanks for the tip on these headphones.

Quote: Hmm if the problems really aren't that bad then I might consider buying a pair of headphones from Denons current line-up . . . but I know that I can't put enough money together for a pair before the new line-up comes and replaces the current one. I will have to buy a pair used off...

Oh I have never had experience with Denons before but I have heard that they have hinge issues and some other stuff (I can't remember all the complaints).   EDIT: This is a two way conversation between us haha . . . I could have just sent you a private message!

Man I sure am gonna miss the wooden Denon headphones . . . I know that the new flagship has some wood in it but it is very little and it is covered by metal *sigh*.

Yeah that's what I think I'll do is get a hold of the AKG's and try them before I try any super expensive cans (like the Signature Pro's) and I have never actually looked into those Kenwood headphones that you recommended so I will do that. Thanks for the help.   EDIT: Yeah, I also really...

I know that Ultrasones have a reputation as being colored headphones but I have been paying attention to the Signature Pro thread for quite a while and people are saying that they are surprised because these headphones are actually relatively neutral.   The reason why I am not considering...

Thanks for the response . . . I want a relatively flat frequency response . . . that is the main thing. Also, I would be using the K550's and the Signature Pro's for computer use only as the cords on both are much too long for using them as portables (even though they are both meant for portable...

Hello, I would like to know how the AKG K550's compare to the Ultrasone Signature Pro's and the Beyerdynamic T 70 P's . I know that both of these headphones are in a completely different price range but I suspect that the K550's aren't priced more closely to these other headphones because AKG...

Thanks a lot . . . and thanks for the fast response.   EDIT: I don't know why headphone manufacturers don't include this open cell acoustic foam in their headphones from the start . . . I have never had a high end pair of headphones though so for all I know they could have that in them.

Does anybody have any recommendations for a material that absorbs reflections that also won't mess up the sound quality of my headphones? I have never modded a pair of headphones before and I plan to do it for the first time.

Does anybody have experience with this product?: http://www.sendstation.com/us/products/pocketdock/lineout-miniusb.html if so does it noticeably improve the sound quality of your iPod/headphones? I know it would be better to get an amp for an iPod but this is temporary until I figure out which...

Quote: I understand that but still, you shouldn't post off topic things like that . . . I'm sure that others would agree with me . . . and you're welcome :) .

Impedance and sensitivity are two different things . . .

Oh sweet! I do love it when I get insider info.

I'm not saying this is bad so don't get mad at me but I don't get why people feel self conscious/ goofy wearing full sizes in public . . . personally I don't care about wearing full sizes when I'm out and about.   EDIT: By the way guys, earlier in this thread when I made that post about how...
