I'm on my cellphone right now so it's a little hard to help you all the way.. Look for my earlier replies, i posted about a cable that has been serving me well for several months now (and i use it almost every day)

Any Canadians here? amazon Canada got Koss ESP-950 for CDN$ 659.99 right now (lightning deal), and they've got Sennheiser RS170 for CDN$ 149.99.

I also listen mainly to rock and metal, and I'm enjoying my HP100 (hell, i bought a pair of Grado sr60i out of curiosity since everybody seem to recommend Grado for rock and metal, but it didn't get more than few hours of use - thanks to the HP100) . Out of the bands you mentioned, i listen to...

I also listen strictly to rock and metal, and i was thinking the 400i would be great for me. Please share us your impressions when you try the 400s. Apart from the above, what other headphones (if any) you auditioned (or heard impressions about) and found them good for rock and metal in the...

Speaking of orthos (and Hifiman) , did anybody here audition / have the Hifiman he-400i and can do a little HP100/150 vs HE-400i comparison? (i'm thinking about getting the latter)

I'd suggest you getting a portable amp instead (I know you said you prefer something that doesn't require amping, but its as simple as stacking the amp to the back of you cellphone and putting them both in you pocket). I've been using my HP100 on the go for several months now with SMSL sAp-5...

Thanks for the replies fellas!

These headphones got my interest and i started thinking of getting a pair, so i started reading impressions in this thread. I have to comment about the "amped vs unamped" argument i read few pages back. I currently have SoundMAGIC HP100 headphones , which are 32ohms with 95db/mW sensitivity...

worked for me! thanks (or not ? i just paid 80$ lol ) .. PAY ATTENTION EVERYONE: the code can be used only once , so if you wanna buy more than 1 item, add them all to your cart and then pay for all of them at once.

I've never heard O2 myself as well, but i have Magni 2 uber which should sound very similar, and i can hear improvements over the SAP 5 , the most obvious are on the low frequencies. The SAP5 is a great budget amp to use on the go, but its not in the same league with better amps such as Magni 2...

Could you tell us what your issue is? My headphones are already in China waiting to be delivered to them.

There is a pair of HD800 for sale for 800$ in the classifieds.

I used mine for 5 months before the driver went out, but i didn't buy them new - i bought them used from another Head-fi'er and i don't know how much time they were used before i bought them. These were my only headphones, until 2 months ago, i bought the SR60is which stayed sitting aside...

Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention it (although I did mention it when i recommended the cable 10-15 pages back), Try slipping it under your shirt, its mictophonic only when it rubs against hard materials. I hope you enjoy it :)

yes. i've been using it everyday for the last 4 months.

the only "good" closed headphones I've tried other than the HP100 are the M50x (which according to reviews has the same SQ as the M50, which is cheaper but without detachable cable), they're not very far behind imho (I'm in no means an audiophile and i'm relatively new to this world).   PS i...

on the other hand, they're that good that they made me decide to ship mine to china to get them fixed! (i've tried M50x, HD598 , SR60i, k240 and i'd take the HP100 every day)   did he review them / give you any feedback about them?

Sorry for not being responsive, I've done nothing but work and sleep in the past 3 days.   The headphones were working fine all of the time without any distortion or whatsoever. I took them out of their bag few days ago, connected them to the amp (with Modi)  and discovered that there is no...

i have 2 cables (the original 1 , that was sitting in the drawer most of the time, and another 1 that i bought from ebay which i used for months). i tried both of them with 3 different sources (laptop , cellphone , Modi +amp) ; got the same results, which led me to believe its the driver :( ...

The left driver of my HP100 stopped working all of a sudden yesterday. Does anybody have any idea about what can be done here?

Oh well, that's way out of my budget lol (i was talking about Magni 2 and O2 , i.e. about 130$ total). Thanks anyway :)

Thanks for the replies everyone!   Quote: which Asus exactly? (I have a Modi as a DAC btw, so I'm looking for an amp only)
