The B&W P7 seems to be an intriguing choice, although there is not much info about it. Thanks to all who replied and i'll keep you posted.

Very simple answer. Because I paid one third of the amount you mention for the Burson. And as I said, the $300 max for headphones is not a "written-in-stone max" it can vary if the product is worth it.

No one ?

I am looking at getting new headphones for my office to replace/complement a pair of Technics RP-DH1200. Closed headphones are a must, this is a open space office shared with a few coworkers. Therefore no sound leakage accepted. Cans will be fed by a Burson 160DS, so I am thinking about...

Thanks for your reply Mach3.

Hello Everyone, Being in the hunt for a new DAC/Head amp for my office, I was wondering how does the Magni-Modi combo from Schiit compare with the Asus Essence One (regular edition, not the Muses, then the price diff would become too important) ? In my neck of the woods, after all is said and...

Hello Schiit Owners,   Being in the hunt for a new DAC/Head amp for my office, I was wondering how does the Magni-Modi combo from Schiit compare with the Asus Essence One (regular edition, not the Muses) ? In my neck of the woods, after all is said and done, I am only looking at about...

How does the E1 compare with the Magni-Modi combo from Schiit ? In my neck of the woods, after all is said and done, I am only looking at about $100 dollars difference. I am listening on Technics RP-DH1200 and/or Sony Z-1000 ,mostly classical, opera and some Kraftwerk tossed in from time to...

An update on the V-Modas, a few months after getting them:   The headphones are holding very well, and the owner is still very happy. On the plus sides, he stands out in the sea of beats around him. the build quality appears very good. Maybe the most intelligent thing is the...

Did you end up getting the Gungnir ?  I was interested to the conclusion of your interrogations ...  

Thanks to all who replied. LP2s have been ordered yesterday evening. Custom shields with an image of a yugioh blue eyes white dragon will be ordered this weekend after we find a suitable image to upload on the v-moda site.     Malevolent, I am using the DH1200 at work, they are readily...

Punks15, Ouch for the sticker price for the HD25 ... Indeed my only option would be a used one, I'll keep it in mind. New, my son'll have to get only A++++ like Lisa Simpson before I spend that much on headphones.   Another question that pops after looking at both V-moda offerings and...

Thanks Pasta Chief. IIRC, it is around ear that he wants, and indeed the LP2 look better and better. In fact, I misstyped in my previous post, I had LP2s in mind but in the synapse towards the keyboard it got changed in to M-80.

Could someone please recommend some headphones for my 13yo son. They should have good bass, and above all, be bombproof as he is quite rough on his gear.  Sound quality (outside of bass) is relatively important but comes second to sturdiness, he already broke a few pairs by sitting on them...

Question about this DAC: I have an opportunity to buy one at a  very decent price. Is it worth getting this with an average ( read budget) amplifier and speakers ? thanks in advance, rmcb

Hello everyone,  I am in the middle of getting some audio gear, and the first piece of equipment I want is a DAC. My budget right now is around $300, with the twist that I can get my hands on a MHDT Havana for a very decent price.    I already have the Fiio E10 for listening at my office...
