Mine are a little bit tight, especially compared to my HD598s. I'd say my head is medium-large... It's not headache inducing but I will be happy when they loosen up a bit

Man you guys all need to chill a little haha. You're all spending so much time worrying about little things that you will never be able to just enjoy the headphones! I mean, unless there's a hardware malfunction that affects the headphone's ability to do what it is meant to do, just open them...

  Finally! Came across this challenge a couple days ago while browsing the X2 thread as I just got these not too long ago. Thought I'd give it a shot. Most everything was fairly straight-forward, although I definitely struggled for a long time with the MP3 bit rate challenge in the Silver Ears...

The buzzing sound is persistent with or without a source plugged in. Volume doesn't change. I'm guessing it's something internal... Anything I can do about this?

Hi guys,   I have had my Swans M200s for quite a while now and yesterday I came home and noticed a loud buzzing sound coming from my speakers. I have not been able to figure out what the cause of it might be and was hoping someone would be able to help me.   It is a pretty loud, lower...

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the most appropriate place to post this as it is sort of a multi-faceted question, but I'm sure someone will be able to answer it. I just bought a tv/computer monitor (samsung T240HD) and would like to use it in unison with my computer (which already has a...

Hahaha dang... someone beat me to it! Ahh well, it's still a good deal

Hey guys, wasn't really sure where to put this. Amazon.com has the new version DT-770 '05 Consumer Edition (250Ω) for $120 shipped. A steal if you're looking for some new headphones and love that bass Amazon.com: beyerdynamic DT 770 Stereo Headphones: Electronics

I have a Plantronics Voyager 510 and have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. It was cheap ($45.99 shipped right now from Amazon) and had the most overall positive reviews out of any bluetooth headset that I researched (ranging from cheap to very expensive, including jawbone and other similarly...

never had to do that. my temps increase just a tiny bit if any.

Desktop person myself. My rig is kinda old though, and I game much less than I used to, so haven't had the urge to upgrade it: Case: NZXT Lexa Mobo: DFI LanParty UT NF4 SLI-DR eXpert CPU: AMD Opteron 165 1.8GHz Dual Core @ 2.7GHz (1.45v) RAM: 2x1GB G.Skill Extreme HZ PC4000 GPU: EVGA...

^ DO IT!!! better noise control, faster, more accurate focusing, bigger and brighter viewfinder, 6.5fps, spot metering, live view, ugh... your lens set up is already quite nice so what more do you have to look forward to (where's the 70-200? ) --- unless you are in need of accessories of course

that is a very nice kit indeed. i am dying to upgrade my kit --- why must i be so poor right now lol My ideal (yet semi-achievable) kit: 40D 17-55 f/2.8 IS (check) 30 f/1.4 85 f/1.8 70-200 f/2.8L IS (quite out of reach) Sometimes i think about selling my darths/aria to fund my...

^ the 28-135 IS has good range and IS and all... but i'm very hard-pressed to recommend it to anyone as a walkaround due to a few things: 1) it's slow! f/3.5-5.6 is very limiting IMO (same as kit lens except it stays <5.6 for a greater range obviously). even with IS I feel like it wouldn't be...

hrm yeah that does seem pretty nice, i didn't think to check this site --- we'll have to see haha. the only thing about sigmas is their QC isn't entirely consistent... so buying new he would just have to hope he doesn't get a lens with focusing issues. that's an upside to buying used is...

Oh boy, I hope you're around to see this soon! FS: Sigma 17-70 2.8-4.5, B+W 72mm Kaesemann CPL - Canon Digital Photography Forums Sigma 17-70 used for $305 shipped/paypalled! Really good deal, once again I rarely see these things spring up in the FS forum and if so, usually for $350 or so...

i can't believe wiis are still this hard to come by! i got my wii a month or two after it came out (walked into target one day and they had just gotten a shipment of them in... 7 of them sitting there in the glass case undisturbed) then last summer i stumbled upon several wiis in 2 days...

haha good luck with all that. it's a bit of information to take in... just post if you need any more help or recommendations --- this is keeping me entertained as i had taken a leave of absence from POTN for a while, while my other hobbies were burning through my money

Alright... so I was browsing POTN and decided that I would post up some threads of archive images from the lenses that you should consider, so you can see how capable these lenses are and hopefully narrow down your options based on needs and what you see. enjoy Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 shots: -=...

wow very nice, lucky you that you guys are in the same town! haha and np on the link... i was looking around B&H for current prices and noticed that 3021bpro was discontinued so i went looking for its successor lol Quote: Originally Posted by lan Let me suggest another...

hahaha yes photography is a money pit but yeah, the bogen manfrotto 3021bpro/488rc2 tripod/ballhead combination is an extremely popular choice for many as their first quality tripod. it's a bit on the heavy side (~6-7 lbs) so it's not ideal if you plan on doing a lot of hiking/backpacking...
