Wow! I like how they all look so different. I'm thinking about getting the X1. Everything mentioned sounds promising.

Wow, that's a lot of useful information! Thank you for the post! I remember the X3 being powerful enough, but I didn't know if the X1 was.

How about 32 ohms?

So let me get this straight. The X1 is more for those with IEMs? Will others who don't use those need an amp? (headphones) Sorry, I just don't understand all of these technical terms that everyone uses. >.<

I am guessing a no go for the akg k167. I was excited for them too... meh Wanted something similar to the sound, but durable..  

Quote: Now that is certainly good news. I cannot wait for it. If only I knew what all of that meant in perfect detail. I know the basic understanding. It can power up my Beyer DT770s :]

Quote: I am not so familiar with all of the specs, such as power and outage, but could you explain something to me? I was looking for an amp to power my beyerdyamic dt 770 pr 80 ohms (E11). You said that you might not even need an E12/amp because of the output. Would that me the case here...

Wow x.x That is really looking great! The specs are great! Dont know everything, but I am familiar with some if it. I'll look out for this one definitely. And the price isn't that bad! Maybe I'll shell out a few more dollars for it. I can't for impressions!

Quote: Thanks for the recommendation! I hate how all of the devices such as androids and iPods are dominating the market. I will have a look into it.

Hey Headfi! I have been recently looking into music sources, and figured if I should go portable or desktop. Considering the fact that I didn't really want to deal with a hassle like a computer to play music, I decided to just stay portable. So here is the rundown.   I am looking for a...

I never thought about budget headphones because I would always get suspicious about them and their prices. I was planning on getting the K167s, but I have seen reviews that state that the comfort level on them is not that great. That is one thing I am really worried about. Thanks for the...

Quote: Sorry I forgot to mention that I was looking into over ear. Just assumed people would know because I posted this in the full size section :P I will edit the post.

Honestly, I hardly ever use my headgear out in public. I am leaning more towards home use headphones. How is the comfort on the HFI-580s?

I used to be in it for style, but now I just want the sound. Style doesn't matter to me much as does great sound quality. I will look into the Beyerdynamics! Thanks!

Anything out there in the 150+ dollar region that blow these things (Vmoda crossfade lps) out of the water? Looking for something great for Electronic Music (Makina, Freeform, etc) Over ear. These were fun for a bit, but now they aren't so special. Home or Portable, it doesn't really matter...

Those look pretty snazzy Quote:

How long have you had them for? I have read a bit on how the K167s take a while to get fully burned in.. It changes quite dramatically from what I hear.

  IMO sorry if it is small

Quote: Ouch. They probably aren't for you then. I don't want to recommend something and then have you break it. That would look bad on my part, but anyone else who also had recommended it. Hey, but you never know. Those headphones are quite durable.

Quote: Well you know that these are two different headphones. One is on ear (M80) and the other is over ear (LP2) If you can do which ever, then I would probably suggest the M80s. I have seen reviews that say that the LP2 still has muddy bass, but the M80s are more detailed and have...

That puzzles me too. "Dude, the beats look freaking sexy!" I can't see how they are. They look like someone had 10 minutes to design everything and viola! I think it is a very dull and boring design. No originality what so ever. I just hate how everyone refers to the beats when they see some...

I would have to agree with you. It does look a bit dated. I personally think that they look kind of cheap :X

Let me help you narrow your search. You wanted something that doesn't leak at 40%. As an owner of the lp's, They aren't your choice for non leakage. On a mobile device, they will leak to around 30-35 percent in extremely quiet environments. In a moderate environment, around 40, but it is hard to...

Quote: I like this guy. He is so optimistic. I am trusting you on this one. Maybe they really aren't so bad as people are putting them.

Quote: I have heard great reviews about the K167s. That is maybe the best one to go for, though everyone hears differently. I honestly want to try them myself. The only problem that concerns is the build quality of the headphones themselves. What else are you looking for? Portability...
