there is no best, but always better

I am wondering if HD700 is sold at a lower price in Germany than other parts of the world.

Is there any physical stores available in south Carolina?

The latest update was in late October, hence still alive :)

Travel 30% sounds good. I love to be always on the way rather than sitting in the office.

Very good!

I am seeking for suggestions for an open-air earbud for iPhone 5.I have an HD380 and HD595 but they are too bulky to use. The white apple earbud is not comfortable enough - always slipping out of my ear...

I am a dabbler in Brahms, never have a chance to listen to his sonata, but I love his four symphonies!

Quote: Thank you for your reply. The music files on my laptop and ipod classic are exactly the same - pcm files from CDs. When I plugged the HD380 into the ipod, the music feels like very weak, but the laptop delivers very powerful and dynamic sound. I am not mentioning the power only, but...

I bought a clip+ last year and I love that tiny player, the only bad thing is the short playback time. I have to recharge it nearly everyday.

I am not sure if 80 ohm works well with smart phones. Once I owned an HD280 (64ohm) and it worked pretty well with my laptop. But I sold it because it's too tight for my big head:-(

Yes, I returned my ipod classic because I cannot bear the sound from the hard drive during the playing.

Have you thought about Sennheiser HD380?

The tf cards are becoming cheaper now. I suggest to buy a cheap player with a small storage capacity, together with a tf card with a large capacity (such as 32 GB).

I used to have a clip+ and it's a very tiny, lovely player. The only problem is the short playing time, you have to recharge it at least every two days or even everyday. But the tf card slot is much more useful than any apple player.

I found that the sound quality is pretty good using a laptop and a headphone (HD380) without any DAC or AMP. Significantly better than a ipod classic + HD380. Can anybody tell me where the reason lies? Because the laptop is better than a portable player, or because I am using a low-impedance...
