I stopped looking for headphones after I bought the DT770-pro. I also have AT A900 and it's no competition; partially because the Beyers are just that comfy (AT = pleather, Beyers = velour). They even sound surprisingly good straight out of my laptop. Now I only have to sort my portable rig.

So, time to upgrade? I donated my socket 939 system to my dad, he's been happy with it for about a year. Went intel myself.

If homemade, with sugar. If other (dubious) source, milk and sugar. Helps mask the taste

beyer dt770-80. more transportable than portable, though. oh yeah, power hungry as well, but I still love mine to bits

Looks good. Must be heavy though... I'm more used to IKEA particle board

dag nabbit! when are these going to be available where I live... the release in Finland has just been pushed back because of high demand on other markets, real nice. oh well, I could always order one from Germany where they're abundant and the keyboard setup is similar. I even have a cousin...

Xanté, on the rocks (all gone now)

88,9% I'm usually pretty good at picking out things that are off-key. I thought it took too long as well. ADD FTW!

count me in

I am in

Nevermind, post count not high enough...

Or can it?

Just got my A900s today and have yet to find a genre which they don't do well. Truly a jack of all trades! They sound much better out of the box than my HD555 did. I got mine from Bluetin and the delivery was quick and their responses to e-mails were fast and good. I would recommend them.

You might want to consider the Audio-Technica ATH-FC7 and Creative HQ-1700, same difference except for pads... These are also supposed to be pretty good and they are in stock in Verkkokauppa.com and Serv-IT. Again, haven't heard either , but was considering these a while back. Read more here

I started out with the EP630s (which are very similar to the cx300s) and later got a HD555 and I'm still well happy with both... however I also have PortaPros and have just ordered A900s, so if you want to keep some spare cash, I suggest cut your losses and run like the wind Nah, just kidding...

I actually have no idea as they were "testphones" in a high class department store, so they could have been anything from a year old to brand spankin' new. Thay seemed a bit worn though, so I suspect they were pretty sufficiently burned in. Of course I don't expect anyone to make their...

One is cheap and the other expensive
