I have to say, even though I've listened to a lot of higher end gear the HD598's are a pretty sweet set of cans. I paid $270 for mine almost two years ago (I believe) and they're an even better deal at $180 on Amazon these days. That's not what they're selling for at the moment, but I've seen...

I had an awesome time, I really liked funch's LCD-3's. Wish I could afford a pair  The Philips Fildeio's were pretty awesome too!

I brought vinyl, probably about 40 records, but I don't have a power strip.

Cool!

Is anyone bringing their vinyl rig? I'll bring mine if you guys are interested.

Liked both and shared on Facebook :)

I saw an advertisement for Lincoln cars (I think) with a kid wearing ATH-50's. Kinda cool.

The Panasonic's leak sound from what I've read. No personal experience though so take it with a grain of salt.

For your genres I'd have to vote for the 8323.

Yes, I'm pretty sure they are the same. Can't comment on international shipping though.

I think it almost makes more sense in really cheap headphone and flavor-of-the-month reviews. I know I heard the phrase thrown around a LOT while I was researching the Monoprice 8323, (and the phrase was also applied to the similarly priced Panasonic offering and countless others within the...

Quote: Glad to be of help! I was in the same place as you last year, except I had the M-30 and I really didn't know if a $30 headphone would be an upgrade. Let me tell you, it sure was.   Quote: Yeah, definitely true. I lurked forever and still felt the sting of upgrade-itis, not...

I have both, the Monoprice 8323 is better IMO. Has more bass too. The only place I found listing them as 108323 though was Amazon, so assuming you're looking at them there I suggest you just buy them direct for a better price here...

Even though I just got my HD598's in the mail (and I'm loving them), I still pick up my Monoprice 8323 headphones when I'm out and about or I want to listen to a fun bassy sort of song. Makes me wonder if I should get a nicer bassier headphone to compliment my HD598... I also really like the...

I always thought this was pretty epic (excuse the youtube quality):   Highlander - The One https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OffF0e2h4TU

Quote:     If you can, try out the ATH-M50. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It regularly goes on sale online for around $115-120. Or maybe look into Ultrasone.     Quote:     Haha yes sorry Lurked here a while just now got an account.

Glad to know I'm not crazy or going deaf then :) I thought I was the only one.

I hear there's some guitar work that got cut for the radio edit, can't wait for the album.

1. Grado SR-60i 2. Monoprice 8323 3. ATH-M30   Kinda new to this whole thing. Hopefully soon I'll be getting the HD598's, then they'll be at the top.

It's probably more of a side-grade than anything, I haven't heard any of the Sol Republic offerings but I'm sure you could do better for the price. Also, are you sure your Beats are real if you only paid $80 for them? There's a lot of fakes out there.   What music are you listening to and...
