Hi, I searched for Cmoy and there about a billion threads.. Is there a simple thread that just tells you how to build one?

if you dont know whats inside, how do you know whats better than whats inside?

Quote: Originally posted by enkidu You might want to also consider Audio Technica ATH-A500's which are the low end brothers of the A900's. There haven't been many reviews of these yet. I chose a pair of these based on my requirements of: Closed phones to block out exterior noise...

Ok so i've decided on the Senn HD 280's and now I need a decent mic to go with them. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. Somthing I could either rig up to the 280's or something that could be good enough noise canceling to stand alone? Also, I know there is a...

Kelly, thanks a lot for the review. I'm basically deciding between the v6 and the hd 280... I think a part of me just wants the senn's for some reason, but thats kind of irrational.. For what im going to be doing: Driving these from my computer most of the time, sometimes from the receiver...

Quote: Originally posted by Rizumu Hm... Try going here: http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...&postid=265775 It has all the follow-up comments about the review, including another reviewers opinions on the hd 280 vs. v6 and kelly discussing it some more...it's near the bottom of...

I just read through that entire review, and while it was helpful, it didnt make feel very good about my choice. The reviewer says that the 280 are better than the V6's at first, but then proceeds to pretty much say everything about the v6 is better.. which confuses me.. The review also says that...

Sorry, I put 280 in the title and accidentally hit 580 in the message. I meant 280 I will be using them for gamnig and music... My taste in music is all over the place..... but most of the time its going to be either techno, classical, or rock

I Want a pair of closed phones, I dont want to consider any grados or that stuff, they dont have closed phones and I need phones that leak nothing. That said, I also cant afford more than 100$ Also, i'll be running these mostly off of my computer sound card. A diamond MX 300.. maybe be upgrading...

Quote: Originally posted by Eagle_Driver On top of those problems common to sub-$50 closed headphones, I've also found that many of those cheap closed headphones have all echoey mids and ringing highs - and no bass at all whatsoever. Maybe I should label all sub-$50 closed headphones...

Quote: Originally posted by Gluegun What's your sound card? What's your max budget? looking for circumaural closed headphones for gaming, huh? Gonna get a mic that clips on to your shirt or can be duct taped to the headphone? What's your budget for headphone + mic, total? Budget is...

Quote: Originally posted by bangraman You are aware that the PXC250 doesn't cancel out frequencies in the voice range, yes? There's a few Beyers with mic attachments... At the low end, there is a 231 with a mic. I haven't heard the 231 but I have read some comments about them being...

it looks like the plantronics are going to be best. how about a good set of noise canceling headphones? how do the sennheiser hd 280 stand up to sony mdr-v6 ? (NOT v-600)

Quote: Originally posted by jessica00 consider yourself lucky you have 280's, and aim for some 590's instead theres quite a price difference between 280's and 590's there not really even in the same category. It's like telling someone to aim for a ferrari instead of the...

Quote: Originally posted by kcits the 212pros _do_ clamp down a little on your head (i've got them at the moment).. it can get quite uncomfortable after about an hour of having them on, and causes a bit of jaw pain (around the lower back of the ear). It seems like alot of people...

Quote: Originally posted by MartinB You have many choices! Koss Porta Pro, Grado SR60, Sennheiser HD497 and more. I have both the Koss and the Senns and I am very satisfied with both, but I would go for the SR60's! hmm thanks I explored all those options and more, I think I am...

Quote: Originally posted by Trounce OT, but doesn't the 212Pro sound MUCH worse than the 280s? not according to headphone.com they say its a great set oc cans

im interested in this also

Ahh thats far too much for me... can someone sugests a decent pair for closer to 50$ ?

Any word on these? I need a pair of closed backs that I can hook up to my computer for music/gaming any suggestions? What is will the price like be on these? I was looking in the 50$ range

I want a headset for online gaming communication. I have been told they are all crap. but I have also been told that if I use a standalone boom mic, even if it has noise canceling, it wont work well because the distance it is from my mouth is going to change. so I really have 2...
