The UM2's are definitely sensitive (it's not just your ears). I use them mainly out of my older 4Gen iPod and for most tracks I have to put the volume @ ~ 3-5% (hardly any black bar showing on the slider). As for hissing: yep, got that too. They are basically un-useable direct from my MBP, the...

Whatever you do, make sure you set an alarm on your phone/ipod, otherwise you WILL NOT hear any outside noise(alarm, etc).

Quote: I recently picked up the UM2's (tried out the TF10 prior and returned due to poor fit for me), and I gotta say I love 'em. Incredibly comfortable for me, and they sound awesome for the range of music I enjoy (pretty similar taste to the OP)    

Quote: :) I just ordered some Monday; coming tomorrow. I know they had a lot of reviews back in the day, but I haven't seen much lately, so I'll try an put up a review in a week or two (work permitting)

Yea the 600s are another alternative, many prefer them to the 650s. But I would honestly look in the FS section, because you can get some KILLER deals on them in there. Most are used, but I've never had an issue buying used stuff from here, 99% of the members are honest folks.

I had an issue with my M1, albeit with an aftermarket strap, it was super hard to get on like you are saying, but eventually I did get it to pop into the hole. I know I've been quick to jump the gun on issues before, but those were actually warranted issues. I think you should just take a...

I don't have a data plan on my Pearl(not my main work phone), and I can use the browser w/ wifi, use the Gmail app, and the Yahoo app as well. All you have to do is set it to Wifi has precedence over the Network while doing anything email/internet related.

HD600 are a little more forward, they aren't SUPER bright, but they are for sure forward of the normal Sennheiser sound, although not as far forward as the 595s are.

This is a joke thread right?

Yea there would be no way to control volume. The way I do it is via my laptop(MBP). I take RCA out of the 360, into the laptop, and out via my headphones or my amp. Get an app called LineIn, it will allow you to do that.

Yea my HD600's sound quite a bit different if I don't get them positioned right.

Used HD595, thats the logical progression. You'll be pleased with it. Quote: Originally Posted by Triangles I'm seeing the ones that have been posted so far. They all look promising. For this next headphone I'm looking for a better sound, not necessarily portable. That's also the...

I've got an 8120(Pearl) w/ OS 4.5

APC Rescues and Samurai 5000VX

I'll bite. I'm in for 1 on the HD600

They will be fine as is. Sure they will improve with an amp, but its not as big of an improvement as you will find with other headphones. Use them and love them, they are some great headphones, my favs for playing games, and they go well with rock music.

People still using their Rotrings? I can't live w/o mine, I use it all the time now.

Whats the quality like on that Marina? I'm tempted to pick one up just for the hell of it.

$400 limit on headphones, unless I hear them first and know for a fact they blow away my previous ones/as well they work killer on my rig. Total, I'd say no more than $1500 for headphones, amp/dac, any cables. After that the differences in SQ are so minuscule I could care less, and I would...

Might take a few days, but they will settle in just fine. Once they conform to your head you can't even tell you have headphones on except when you stand up real fast and your neck snaps lol. And yea, might want to check HD600s instead for Classical/Movie scores. Little more detailed in that...

HD600 Clarity, little bit of forwardness, and can be had for $200-220
