Thanks for the input Trunks :)   To add, I'm looking at other headphones now:   1. Blaupunkt Comfort 112 2. AKG K551   Bah. They all sound so good and I wanna try them all. I'm rattled now. Haha!

Hello again,   Just came across some Shure headphones. I think it was the SRH 750DJ and the SRH 840. Has anyone tried these? I've read some reviews and based on them, these headphones sound great but are uncomfy at long periods of use.   How would they compare to the MDR-1R?   Thanks in...

  Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give them a look. :)

Yep so I was told. Just throwing in a little variety to my choices. :)

I see. With that being said, and the fact that we have a lot of animals at home, I'm having second thoughts about getting open headphones. The barking dogs might drown out the music. Lol. So I guess it's back to closed headphones? Haha. :)

Yeah I would actually love to try open headphones. I'm just a bit uneasy with the thought of leaking sound, dunno why though. I think the sound leak just takes a little getting used to. Would you know how does the MA900 compare to the DT990? On a side note, could you elaborate more on the...

  Thanks for the affirmation!     Though I'm worried about the earpads. Don't want them to flake out like my M50 did. Or is that gonna be part of the wear and tear through the years?

  The source is mostly going to be my S4. I'm leaning towards closed 'coz I don't wanna annoy my co-workers or anyone at home with the music. But I've been thinking about how some people told me that open headphones give out a much more natural sound.

Hi there. I'm new here and I stumbled upon this thread as I was searching for pleather and leather comparisons.   My M50 suffered from flaking as well. The earpads have also become brittle, at least the part that comes into contact with my skin. I've had this pair for more than 2 years.  ...

Hello Head-Fi Community!   I'm new here but I frequently visit the site for headphone reviews and comparisons and I must say it's been very helpful. :D   Just decided to become a member now. :)   So now, I wanted to ask your help for some headphone suggestions.    I own an ATH-M50...
