No there is not a difference.   Punk started in NYC in the Lower East Side [soure: Legs Mcneil & Gillian McCain, Please Kill Me, you know, the people who started the magazine Punk was names after].   When Sire Records started signing bands Seymour Stein, the Chairman of Sire, thought the...

Any thoughts on the difference between the Audio Technica ATH-AD700x (open) and ATH-A700x (closed)?   Is that really the only difference in these headphones? How much does this effect the sound?

Thoughts on the Sennheiser Momentum Over Ear versus Grado SR225e?

Obviously the SR225e is better than the SR80e w/ L-Cush.   The question is, it is $80 better? If so why do you think.   Considering both and trying to determine if the SR225e is $80 better.   Anything specific I should listen for when comparing?

Preferably up to $150.

Only heard the Grado SR225e, not sure how it compares to other Grado's down the product line.     Still need to try the Momentums, but was curious which Grado each of the Momentums is most comparable.

iPhone and laptop mostly.   Vintage Philips turntable otherwise.

Followup...very late.   Tried the X7, but did not love the feel of them after a week. Sound was OK.   In the end, went with the H3.   They started to have problems at about 20 months old (failing jack connection) Etymotics replaced them.   Would consider the H3 again or move up the range.

Have been looking at the Sennheiser Momentum (over hear or on ear), but had a chance to listen to a pair of Grado SR225e and liked them.   Question is, which Grado is more or less equivalent to the Sennheiser Momentum over hear  and the Sennheiser Momentum on ear? If any.   Yes, I understand...

bump. anyone?

I'm looking for new IEM.   My music preferences are fairly eclectic, from early NYC Punk (Television, Voidiods, Pati Smith and Ramones) to early Jazz (Parker, Monk, et al).   I want something fairly durable—leading to a leaning towards flat cables—as I use my earphones daily for...

I had a pair of Etymotics HF2, which I had a love and hate relationship with.   Sound-wise I loved them. I listen to NYC Punk (Television, Pati Smith to the Ramones), alternative, and jazz (Parker, Monk, etc.).   I also loved the level of sound isolation—I commute through some noisy...
