I saw a pair of HD590s yesterday at tower records mega, but 595s are what youre looking for... I will check out MICRO ACOUSTICS INDUSTRIES INC. though and see what they have. I've been scouting for HD555

I've never been formally trained so I'm not familiar with the specialty shops around here. I've heard of some of them I just dont know where to find them heh I get lost easily. I just buy my supplies at a local bookstore here (yeah they carry art materials). When I first started with pencils, I...

<------ Illustration I did last year. I'd really like to have the entire pic as my avatar but hehehe, cant because of size restrictions

I have compared them to the 212 and I prefer the 205 for overall clarity. It's not going to resolve details the way other high-end cans do but compared to the 212, the 205 kicks ass.

A koala. Gimme a tight hug?

Saw a guy wearing one of those sony streetsyles G4...something about a week ago on my way home. Bleh i felt like walking that day. I had on my HD 205 then and i had to stop myself from smiling at him because it was my first headphone sighting in weeks. That and more ibuds.

I haven't heard any of their songs (i get turned off by badly conceived costumes) I dunno, grammys just too... mainstream. I apologize to those who thinks otherwise, just MHO

Just a suggestion - try listening to something encoded in 128, 160 and then your preferred high bitrate, that way you'll be able to more accurately discern the imperfections, having listened to the song at a low bitrate. But if you can tell the difference from a 160 to a 192 then there's no...

i just checked the terms and conditions and it looks like they offer the service to the US only. oh well

I've never heard of cd clubs before. wow. I'm going to check out yourmusic.com now. I've been buying my stuff from tower for so long now and yeah, it is kinda expensive. thanks!

i had it done when i was a kid because of ear infection. i remember being grossed out by it a bit because of the things i saw come out of my ears . is it safe to do it every month?

i guess a badass rig has something to do with the overall clarity of the music, but your hearing ability is also a factor. I can't abx anything above vbr4 vbr new(lame 3.97b2).

Super budget-fi here - ipod shuffle + HD205 total cost = around $150

not changed, just expanded. after getting my first pair of headphones all of a sudden i wanted to see how one genre would sound like with my headphones. also, to experience your favorite tunes all over again is just so worth it.

i saw a guy wearing HD 212s at the mall yesterday. What I didn't like about the experience was that he gave me this smug look when he noticed i was looking at his headphones. like he's da bomb or something bleh. of course, nothing against the 212s, just the owner i guess. I saw a guy with...

The Delays - Faded Seaside Glamour Saint Etienne - Tales From Turnpike House Vangelis - Odyssey Moloko - Statues PJ Harvey - Uh Huh Her The first three i purchased this month

There's a pretty thorough review of the 201s here somewhere so you'd maybe wanna try searching for that. From what I've read, it's a balanced phone and offers a lot of value for the price. I recently got the HD 205 and so far, i'm satisfied with them. Straight out of my shuffle they sound great...

I wear my HD 205 all the time. If it's not on my head, it's hanging around my neck People don't really react rudely to headphones around here eventhough it's rare that you see people wearing them outside. I do get stared at a lot, but that's normal i guess. I've worn them on the train, the...

bass on the 212pro is better, if we're talking about bass that will make your head explode. I've listened to a pair of burned in 212pros and they seem to drown the mids with excessive bass. I have no first hand experience with the px100, but generally they're well regarded for their great sound...

you sure it was painless? looks a bit painful to me. you should post another picture when it's all healed up

I'm probably going to have a hard time finding things in the future or when my collection becomes gargantuan, but I organize by album title, alphabetically of course. I just like album titles, especially when it's as unique as fiona apple's when the pawn... disc Digitally, I dont go as deep...
