Did oabbasi ever come back? The amount of amazing metal I discovered because of that account was immense.

Back up in price, that was an insane deal. I am so excited now, have not had an open pair of headphones in a while. Also not had a pair worth over $200 in a long time, lucky I kept my amp.

  Ordered thank you    Hmm, if they end up to be as good as people say they are my CAL 2's will be going back.

    shame about daves voice, I wish all the old metal gods never had to get old. Though Bruces voice still holds up well, saw maiden a few years ago for the 3rd time in the last 12 years and he still has it.

Some metal from Taiwan         Have not listened to Blind Guardian in years, and this popped into my head.  

Go with the Creative Aurvana Live 2 (the revision of them), they are amazing. Seriously, much better than the m50's, they have an amazing soundstage for a closed headphone. They have improved upon everything over the original CAL's, including build quality and all the sound qualities. Very...

  I never did, nor do I now care about others opinions or acceptance of my hobbies or what I do with the money I earn. Neither should you nor anyone else, beats done us no favours except cash in on a bunch of ignorant/misinformed people that bought these as a fashion statement and ended up...

Exactly.

They should ban beats and beats discussions from head fi, no good comes from them or talking about them.

Avoid at all costs, seriously. There are so many more options at even half the price that perform better. Unless you are buying them to be "kl" amongst your friends ofcourse.

Obviously not, they are also no where near in the same comfort tier as the ma900's either.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWxMIMe18VQ   Shame about the quality, but still worth a listen. They are up there with Insomnium in the melodic metal genre.   Full album, every song is great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIpk6ATuMTQ

  Har har, though I am talking about all three of there earlier stuff. Released in the early 2000's before screamo started to rear it's ugly head. As you can see by the rest of the band choices they are accompanied by, my metal preference is not screamo. P.S, I hate headphones that emphasize...

I'll call jeeves and ask him to move some money around.

Amorphis - skyforger, my favourite album of all time. While I prefer Insomnium because all there albums are amazing, that one amorphis album is just special. Seriously give it a listen, ever song on it is immense.   Tool's best ofcourse will always be mentioned - Lateralus Dark tranquility's...

Insomnium <3   Has anyone ever found that "perfect" pair of melodic metal cans(Insomnium, Disarmonia mundi, Dark Tranquility, Be'lakor, In flames, Noumena, Omnium Gatherum, Deadlock, sonic syndicate, etc.) ?

What a waste of $300 =/

Dr dre packs extra science into each can before they ship, to give it that amazing audio signature we have all come to love.

Have you ever heard any other headphone around the $100-$200 category, as they sound infinite times better than beats. You can get much better sound for a half to 3rd of the price. Which is why the community has a problem with them. They are a fashion item, that are generally used by people that...

Stay away from razer /thread Source :owned a few razer headphones and deeply regret it.

They are worth no more than $100, maybe less. You pay entirely to be kl and update to date and "Hip". They are nothing but a fashion accessory, and a bad one at that imo as they look horrible.

  I am most likely being to critical but at this price they are not worth it, the thing that made the cals very popular and a community favourite/recommendation was that for the price you could get them at(£50) they sounded amazing. They were such a great budget buy that punched way above its...

Just received the cal2's and imo they are very congested, there is little to no soundstage. Which is a massive disappointment, coming from the dt770's(which I thought were to congested aswell) I am really let down.   For some reason, they are no where near as punchy as the original cals in the...
