Everybody's setups were cool and all (HD800 everywhere) but really, the one that left the biggest impression on me were ChrisJ's bass-modded Q701 on someone else's Schiit Vali.  Just awesome.  If I had the choice of any setup from the meet to get for myself, it would be that (or the K812).    ...

Like hype?  I'll be selling my Somic MH463 headphones (http://www.head-fi.org/t/637699/50mm-driver-open-air-full-size-cans-pop-out-of-nowhere-sound-amazing) for super cheap because I realize I have no use for them and they've been sitting on my shelf for about six months now.  I'll bring them to...

Just something I remember from last year's meet, if everyone could try to bring a power bar/surge protector with enough outlets for their gear, that would be good.

Found these while cleaning up around the studio, thinking of using them to make a variant on the stratoKOSSter.  I don't have a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter, so my only listening impressions are through the amp for my bass guitar.  They make my bass sound really bright and punchy, which I happen to...

Welp, it seems I was too rough on my earphones and now there's no sound in the left.  I'll be bringing Shure SRH-840s instead.

Hi all, I've preordered a video game for the Xbox 360 that happens to come with a 12" vinyl of its soundtrack when preordered from GAME in the UK.   This one...

My name's already up there, but I'll just list the gear I'm bringing.  Kind of low-end stuff.   Laptop Fiio E17 AKG K550 (want to trade or sell these) Hifiman RE-Zero with BTG Audio SPC Midnight cable

Yesterday was pretty interesting, saw Q701, PortaPro and IE8 in the 30min or so it took me to get home from class.

Any chance of seeing how the Paradox compares?

I own the AKG K550 right now, but I'm looking into other headphones because my ears touch the drivers, which I find really uncomfortable after an hour or so.  Could someone tell me the depth of the pads on the AD900x?

I'm an occasional smoker, maybe a cigarette after a meal once in a while.  Not much of a habit, I've stopped for weeks and months at a time simply because I couldn't be bothered to go to the store.   My personal favourite brand:

I have the same setup, I basically just listened to music for a long time (I'm a student, I listen to headphones anywhere from 5-10 hours a day).  Listening volume should be fine,  I keep mine at +6db gain and 20 volume.  I did start with +2 treble and +4 bass when I got the setup, but for the...

Must be karma,  all I saw today were Beats and Bose headphones.  Though it may have something to do with my classes being in arts buildings today.  I did see one guy with a pair of on-ears plugged into an E17 though.

You might want to be careful with those then.  I happened to get a defective pair (http://www.head-fi.org/t/637699/50mm-driver-open-air-full-size-cans-pop-out-of-nowhere-sound-amazing/165#post_9013011) so I decided to return them.  The seller mentioned to me that they had a similar complaint...

lol this is in Waterloo, Canada. I've seen a couple people on the buses with Shure IEMs too.

Quote: Dual screen?  Pfffft.  

ATH-M50s, 2-3 times a day, every day.  I'm in university and I've yet to see anyone here wearing any Beats headphones (earphones I've seen a few times).  

Quote: Are you talking about the MH463?

Well, my pair just arrived and first impressions aren't great.  I put on a few tracks and noticed that the left channel was louder than the right, so I turned the headphones around to see if it was my ears or the headphones.  Sure enough, it was the same driver that was louder.  Using the test...

Quote: I'm feeling the same way, I've been using the AKG K550 powered by an E17 for the past few months and I'm really struggling to figure out how I'll be able to come up with funds to switch them for the HE-400.  The AKGs are nice, but the drivers rub against my massive ears and don't...

Quote: Uh, I'm not good at using audiophile language, so I'll just say "pretty great".  Don't think the cable makes it sound any different, but the sound is more analytical than my K550s which I've been using while I waited for the RE-ZERO to come back.   http://i.imgur.com/klIR8.jpg...

Quote: BTG's stuff looks so great, I just got my RE-ZERO back from him a couple days ago.   Looks like I can't post pics, here's a link. http://i.imgur.com/2flOV.jpg

Looking everywhere for mods to fix the missing bass, I stumbled on this thread. I didn't have any headbands to stuff the earpads with, so I used a shoelace cut in half.  The four months or so I've owned these I thought they were kind of a disappointment, but this five minute mod actually...
