If you could spend the extra cash, I would definitely go for the new Vmoda XS for 199 on amazon, or if you don't need the folding, the m80 for just 150$ (on their website). These things have really nailed it itn terms of style, durability, sound, and portability. Really, these would last you a...

Well.. what kinda music do you listen to?

Wow! That's a really clean, minimalistic setup! How are you liking the X1?

Are you sure you want headphones? On and over ear headphones tend to get sweatier, and bouncier than in ear monitors when you work out. When I run I always use some in ear monitors that go around the ear, for a really secure fit, and no discomfort. I do know people also wear headphones while...

You can still get the HD 600, 650s on amazon for about 350-430 USD, cheaper on ebay. The HD6xx line of headphones are still in production by Sennheiser

I haven't heard the HP50s either, but I've seen them, and they look pretty toasty! Full size closed headphones, especially with pleather pads get sweaty fast. I would also recommend looking into some open Sennheiser headphones (hd 600, 650), and find the sound signature that suits you. I own the...

You can use any sort of box a bit larger than a head. If you leave the DT770 there for a while they'll stretch out. The headband is virtually indestructible, so you won't be worrying about any breaks mid-stretch. You keep trying them on every once in a while until the clamping force is better...

I have the DT770, and they really are extremely comfortable, in my opinion. Maybe they need a while stretched over a box to loosen up. You do have the Velour pads, right? The M50, are, quite a bit shallower in the ear cups, and many complain of their high clamping pressure causing much fatigue.

Are you going to leave the house with these? If so, you're really not going to want an open pair for mainly on the go use. The Sennheiser HD5xx series are very well known, and are the sort of headphones that those on a budget can't go wrong with. Other than that, I can't admit to have listened...

These headphones all require proper amping, what's your current setup?

For exactly 30 USD you can get the very well made and designed Philips CitiScape Downtown (30-35 USD on Amazon). All the colors are under thirty dollars, except for the brown model. I hear comfort is above average, along with good sound for the price. Quite a few color options as well.

Hm. I've watched some videos on assembling a Bottlehead, and the kit looks rather friendly towards your everyday fella. The reviews are absolutely astonishing, and the amp even with the speedball upgrade doesn't break the bank! Seems like an investment definitely worth a shot.

I've been seeing quite a few Vmoda headphones these days- mostly the M100. Not surprised, those things will be all over the place in the next year or two with their design and sound.

I'm looking for an upgrade amp for my Sennheiser HD 600, with a budget of at most (or a BIT over) 500 dollars. I hear the WA3 are great with the HD600s, rivaled with the Bottlehead crack. I am not confident with my skills of ever being able to put together the Bottlehead crack, but can you get...

I don't know anything about headphone mics, but I do know that The Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros are nice all around headphones, that can be had for around 200 USD on Amazon. They're big, but you can change the color and style of every part of the headphones, with replacement parts Beyerdynamic...

I've heard both the ATH M50, and Momentum On Ear, and Over Ear. The choice depends on what kind of music you'll be listening to. The Momentum (Over Ear) definitely would make you the happiest if you're willing to pay the extra cash. They sound great with pretty much any genre, and work well with...

I just bought a pair of Sennheiser hd 600 on ebay, for 265 USD. Buyer said they were purchased for a cancelled recording, and were quickly put back into boxes. The package I received included no original box, just the headphones floating around with a few airbags. I instantly noticed the...

By the way, you post your "looking for" or recommendation threads on the Help! section. Top of the page will give ye directions.

The newest top of the line RHA MA750 IEMs have gotten some seriously good press. They'll only run you about 130$, and maybe even less for the model without the apple remote. There are a few very good reviews on head-fi, so I suggest you check them out! Another well known pair are the Vsonic GR07...

Just picked up the Amperior. :)

Amazing review! I've been waiting for some impressions on these IEMs, and your post covered everything I wanted to know! I not only was open mouthed by the IEMs, but with your writing as well!

"The Mission" soundtrack by Ennio Morricone and "Could it be another change" by the Samples are my favorites

What will you be driving them with? Beyerdynamic DT770 and 880 are below 300 on Amazon and are great headphones, but are priced according to the impedence

Incredible review
