Have you tried bending the headband to give you more pressure? I assume that it'd work the same as bending a Grado. When I had my Beyer, I did that to bring the music forward... my head is plenty big though.

Can someone with a nano and 701 please show me a picture of that setup. Maybe we can play a game of cups with the nano when you're done. Which cup in the nano in! Edit: Sorry for the bump.

Refurbs are cool (got mine last weekend).

I usually try to get away with buying 2 or 3 pairs of jeans a year, with $20 as a max per jean. Then I try to wear them for 3 to 4 years. Thrifty. I've never purchased a suit in my life... if I had to, I'd probably go to Good Will just to see what I could get before moving up the chain. Pay...

I just picked up the Super.fi 5 EB on eBay new for $120 (with insurance)... You can also find it cheaper than that in the sale forums... Of course, I understand budgets, so maybe that is even too much; still, from what I've read, the EBs are probably the only IEM that is going to satisfy you...

I mainly just chose those 'phones based on bass and fun-factor. They probably aren't what you are looking for though. Or maybe they are...

I'm sure the other members will recommend that you use the search feature, but I've never really contributed (in other words, I don't really know): Beyerdynamic DT770 Ultimate Ears Super.fi EB These probably wont 'surround' you though...

Their respective websites do seem to have pretty accurate estimates... you might want to try them out.

Yesterday: Super.fi EB *fingers crossed*

I'd wear the iGrado before I'd wear anything with hearts.

Crap... I was way off about the tachymeter... thanks wikipedia. Geez... that's embarassing... But... Yeah... I didn't really understand that the numbers were for... I guess I do now. Thanks. And I prefer leather to metal... just a taste thing. Not sure why I do. I especially like it when...

I tried to go with the affordable, fashionable (matter of preference) route, and picked this up for $62. It came in a pretty nice metal tin too... I was surprised. It came flat though (band not pre-curled), so I had to break it in. Always with the break-in isn't it? Oh, and it does...

Yep, the E2Cs are prone to wire issues. Mine had this problem, but I didn't know that I was still covered by the warranty, so I never got it repaired. I created my own solution--it isn't pretty, but I bent the cord near the 'plug', took some electrical tape, and wrapped it around to keep the...

Pssst.... try the Foobar Equalizer Just 'auto level' it so it doesn't distort.... you might have to replaygain afterward since you already have the amp turned nearly all the way... You'll risk clipping though...

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I was referring to the volume knob on the Aria--sorry, I didn't specify. Since my aria was installed as a "USB Audio Device," my only windows volume options are "Speaker" and "Wave" (I'll take a screen shot when I get home from work, but I've put them both to...

I guess I have it working now... instead of installing as a USB Audio Driver, it is now a "USB Audio Device" I have to turn the volume up nearly all the way to get to my preferred listening zone... is that normal? I normalize my tracks at 96%.
