Thanks guys. I will tell him that you guys endorse the DJ100s. 

My friend tried my DJ100s, which he liked, but is also looking at other options if there are better ones. My friend tends to listen to rap.

I showed my friend my setup and now he wants to get into headphones. He is looking for a good set of clkosed cans for around $80. He wants to pair a fiio e11 with them too. I have suggested the Koss DJ100. He is also interested in the Shure srh 440 and the KRK kns 6400. Feel free to express your...

Hello everybody. I showed my friend my budget setup (Koss Dj100 and Fiio E5) and he thought that the sound quality was superb. Now he has been researching headphones for the past few days and wants to buy some. He is looking for a closed can that is around $80 that would work well with a fiio...

Right now he is using some skull candys but I will force him to buying some cheaper, nice headphones. He likes bass so I may recommend the Sony xb series to him.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will reccomennd that to him, but he may be looking for something he can buy new. Any suggestions? I have heard good things about the Cowon J3.

Bump

My friend came up to me the other day, knowing that I had some insight on the audio world, and asked me if I had any recommendations for an mp3 player. He has an Ipod touch but is disappointed with its performance. He is looking for a "bang for buck" mp3 that is less than $225. Any...

Alright, I think I will go for the e5. I may also be purchasing some Sennheiser hd598s later on for my first open can. It has great review and hopefully the e5 will do well with those.

Does anyone know if the e11 is a good choice for the dj100? I know that it is a well liked amp for others.

I just purchased the dj100s for my first legitimate headphone. I did experience the muffled sound so I am currently burning them in. I am running them out of an ipod nano (lol) and see the potential of having an amp. I was wondering what would be a good portable amp to buy for the dj100s under...

I am in the same conundrum.

I am sorry but my priorities are always changing in what I want for my first headphone. I am looking for a closed full size headphone that is $200 or less. I listen to mostly alternativ/ alternative rock, classic rock, and some dance and hip-hop. My budget is $200 for the headphones themselves...

I am looking at getting either the Sennheiser hd25-iis or the hd598s for my first pair of mid-fi headphones. I was wondering what portable headphone amp would work good out of an ipod or computer. Any recommendations are welcome.

Alright, thanks for posting and I think the hd-25IIs would definitely suit my needs

I know this may or may not be the place to ask but I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for dj equipment. I would like to spend a very minimal amount of cash so I am looking for "bang for buck" items. Any good recommendations on turntables are appreciated. I also have a headphone...

I have a Ka-Bar Becker BK2. The thing is a beast.

I have moved the thread to Gear-fi

As I have been told, the dj100s are quite good headphones for the price at which they are available and I think the choice was right. The afficianado of the dj100s on head-fi is tdockweilerand I am pretty sure he would know out of anyone.

Not trying to steal your thread here but I am also stuck in the same predicament. I am mainly an alternative/ alternative rock listener and I dont know which one to get. I am more leaning towards the hd598s though because of the detail...

I will most likely go with the e11 for the hd598s if I get them. They are well liked by many and would suit my budget. I have another question though. Is the Asus Xonar Essence sound card worth the $150 if I listen from my computer a large amount?

I may be able to try the Beyerdynamic dt770s and Sennheiser hd 598s at a local store! Right now I am leaning towards the hd 598s because I am more on the light side of the alternative spectrum. If I do not enjoy the heavier music, I can always buy the sr60is for a "fun" headphone. I was also...

Thanks for all of your recommendations. The only metal I really listen to is metallica but I am mostly an alternative/ light rock guy. I am somewhat all over the place for what I listen to :). NimbleTurtle, did you mean you perfer the Sennheiser hd598s for alternative?

Does anyone know any reputable source to buy the alessandro ms1i's from? It seems as if they are not on amazon.
