Actually, I typically connect directly to my iPhone 6 or Fiio X3 (gen 2). I'm fine with no amp--it's plenty loud, and I can use the eq on the Fiio to bring out more bass (which is what I did until things suddenly seemed settled--now, even my iPhone is fine).

After having burned these in (and having stretched them a bit), I'm amazed at how the bass suddenly just --appeared! I was really disappointed and a bit worried by how tight they were, and I totally got the uncomfortably present treble and recessed bass, but now--WOW. They're awesome! One of...

The Anker braided cable is fabric-covered where the stock cable is plasticky. I got it in red (I have the brown/red MSR7s).

I got the Anker braided one, and it's been fine. :slight_smile:

I bought this one for $35, and like it. :blush:: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016TU6V48/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Okay, just had an odd experience with the MSR7s.   I'm one of those who is having difficulty with the clamping force of the MSR7 (I've tried stretching them over a box, using cotton in the pads, bending the headband as per Tyll's video). I just accidentally put them on backwards, and they feel...

Thanks. The brightness does worry me a bit, if only because my ears run a bit sensitive, but I figure I can fiddle with my X3 a bit. I've read that Brainwavz pads might actually make this issue worse, so I guess that's a no-go, even for the pleathers....

tl;dr: I bought MSR7s. Yep, I realized I didn't give budget; my apologies. I was really thinking Beyer 80 vs Beyer 250 when I initially asked, thinking I'd done enough homework that I was going to make this relatively simple. I really should have come here first; I'd been looking for awhile...

Hi, all! Cutting to the chase: I'm in the market for a full-size set of cans, closed-back, to be used at home and at work. I've settled on the Beyer DT770 and would like help selecting the appropriate "flavor." Now, for more info, I currently own: -Sennheiser Momentum on-ears and V-Moda M-80s...

Congratulations to you both! :beerchug:

I'm saving the emailed response, as well--just in case. ;)

Good news--I heard back from V-MODA, and they will honor the warranty. I just have to hang onto my receipt. :)   I took the headphones over to my parents' house tonight and had them listen. They were both amazed. :D

Here's mine. My apologies in advance for the literary mashup (inspired by Browning, in the style of Shakespeare; I'm a high school English teacher):   Sennheiser Sonnet Why do I need them? Let me count the ways. I need them for the highs and lows and mids Their high-end transducers can...

I'd read somewhere that those include only one cable--any idea whether the branding is the only difference? I don't care about the case, but I do wish the branding weren't on the headphones themselves--I've never seen the show! LOL

In that case, they're going back. Just waiting to hear from V-MODA...

The buttons work now; I wonder if I wasn't pressing them properly last night....   I do wonder whether V-Moda will honor the warranty, since the headphones were sold by a third party and just "fulfilled by Amazon" (I didn't realize there was a difference; IMO, they should explain this up front...

They're already here--less than 48 hours after I placed the order. Sound great, and I'm wearing them right now, getting used to the on-ear format. Now, something odd-- The remotes don't work with my iPhone 4S in its Lifeproof case. I'm guessing the extender you have to use with the case...

I've ordered the M-80s and am really looking forward to trying them out! Thanks, everyone--

Okay, thanks. A little frustrated because I feel Amazon needs to clarify that "fulfilled by" means the seller has provided stock for Amazon to ship out. The woman with whom I dud the e-chat said they don't have fakes. Um, yes, you apparently do. In any case, the arrive Saturday. $159; hope I did...

Ugh; I just placed an M-80 order from Amazon last night, but they were out of stick, so I purchased a "fulfilled by Amazon" pair. Guess I need to cancel?

Any opinion on the Pioneer HDJ-2000 for $140? I'm wondering what kind of bang for the buck I'd get, for a first pair of full-sized cans. Never mind. Just tried them on and wasn't wowed--I think they might have been have been too heavy. The BB guy tried to sell me a pair of Sol Master Tracks. I...

Thanks--I'll check it out! :)

20fenix08, you have no idea how much I'd love to get the Momentums. What's stopping me is that I've read some things about sound quality that make me think I'd wish I had the full-size, not the on-ear. The ivory on-ears look gorgeous, though! I'd grab them if not for the exaggerated highs and...

Greetings!   So--possibly pertinent (or not) stuff about me: I'm a high school English teacher who loves music in many of its iterations (though I played bagpipes in my high-school band, and I know some might question the musicality of that particular instrument ;)).   I grew up borrowing my...
