I just recently bought the Sony mdr v6 and I noticed that if I touch the jack while plugged in, the sound would crackle or fade on one side. Now, I've never had a silver plated connector and that could just be it. Or is that not supposed to happen and I got a faulty pair? EDIT: Actually, I just...

I just received my pair and I'm a bit disappointed by the design.   The nozzle (is that what it's called?) is fairly large and the tips don't go in easily at all. It took me a lot of fiddling around to finally switch the tips. The foam tips aren't very comfortable to me (maybe I'm not a foam...

I have the Panasonics. If your budget is around $30, might as well get them because they're a great choice at that price and especially for what you want. They'll definitely make your music a bit more fun to listen to.   Two notes on something that I can actually judge (I'm so new to this)...

Lol, mbamg, you can't measure sound quality. You can do all the graphs you want, but at the end of the day, people are going to be looking for different sounds because our ears/preferences are different. If graphs were the end-all be-all, then we would just compare graphs and know objectively...

I've been lurking on and off for a while now, but I had to make an account just to say this.   I really don't want second hand opinions. If you've never listened to a pair of headphones, you are not qualified to give your opinion, period. Unless you've been intimate with a headphone, you'll...
