Quote: That's funny because I really enjoy my Denon D2000's and like them a lot more then my PX100's. I don't think some people here grasp the idea that the HD650's aren't really all that different from a PX100. You can bash me all you like, make up stuff that you think I listen too, or...

I don't know. The Pink Floyd DSOTM MFSL master 24/96 Vinyl rip by Dr. Robert sounds pretty good. You can hear that it's a vinyl in a song like Us and Them, but I know what that sounds like..It's also not the only thing I used for comparisons for the headphones. I used EVERYTHING for that. Even...

Quote: Oh I thought you were going to bring up that FLAC is compressed and rip me for that or something. Reason I need FLAC? I don't have, cough, time to rip 2400 CD's so I just download them.  

Maybe they want it to sound like a vinyl?

Quote: That's fantastic that you realize that. But it's just offensive that you probably haven't even AB'ed them with a proper source and amp and sat and listened for several hours like I have. Offending me by telling me my ears are **** and I'm not trained enough to discern a difference...

Quote: That's just lulz worthy. I almost think you are trolling me. Have you even heard the PX100's? They are $100 now too by the way. And no, the HD650's are absolutely NOT that much better. I'm not even going to sit here and try and lie about it or justifty the expense I dropped in...

Quote: I've noticed in the audio world people tend to exaggerate, a lot. It's funny reading old reviews of sound cards and looking at people describe them as god-like pieces of equipment, yet today they are regarded as crap.

So buying an X-FI HD USB is pretty much pointless if I have Realtek ALC889 with no audible noise issue? I also have an Audigy 2 ZS in there, but I think that benchmarks worse then the ALC889 for frequency response. Really, I just need some optical ins for my computer, and sound card was the...

Title. Is there REALLY a significant difference between onboard sound (Realtek ALC889) and a discrete sound card. Has anybody out there felt they got burned when they bought a $100+ sound card and heard it and compared it to onboard? I bought into the Sennheiser HD650 hype, bought it, compared...

Quote: Sure, all we need to do is rewrite the laws of physics.  

I've heard the D2000's labelled as "comfortable Grados".

Quote: The DT990 has less bass then the D2K? Really? http://graphs.headphone.com/graphCompare.php?graphType=0&graphID[]=2141&graphID[]=2881

Thanks for the review. I have the D2000's on the way, they should be here on tuesday. This review made me even more excited especially since you have similar tastes in music.

Quote: I agree with the idea that the 650's are over priced, but I've heard the PX100 (Gen 1's) so I have something to compare it to that is similar. They sound the same. $250 difference+Required amplifier is a joke. Not to mention most say it requires a tube amp to really change the...

I let my mother try my HD650's the other day (She has PX100-II's) and she told me they sounded the same as hers. She also thought they were a waste of money, my father agreed. I felt pretty bad. Still do.

Quote:   Are you sure they don't sound veiled? You are sending me kind of mixed messages, because in the review I read about the DT880's in your signature you state that the HD650's have a veil, and I would agree with that...I just want to know that there is a difference between the...

Quote: I'm very serious. I really REALLY wish I was not, because then I wouldn't have to return these nice looking headphones and pay a 15% restock fee.   The HD650's were only slightly more detailed then the PX100's (I had to try hard to hear it) and they were able to give more...

Quote: Comfort is nice, but I wanted to know a comparison of their sounds. The HD650's seemed a little veiled in the upper frequencies. Would either the DT880 or DT990 be a good alternative for me? I listen to metal/rock mostly, and a decent amount of electronica.

Does anyone here have a comparison between the HD650's and the dt880 or dt990? I found the HD650's seemed a little..veiled. I wanted something that is clearer.

Nice review, but I think my Senn PX100's must have spoiled me or something because I just got my HD 650's in the mail today and I am returning them. They just aren't THAT much better then these little rinky dink PX100's that I bought a long time ago...The HD 650's are $350 headphones that...

So almost unanimous vote for Grados. I'm worried about the comfort though, I keep reading that they aren't comfortable for long periods of listening. I forgot to mention that I also will be using these things for Gaming, so I will need them to feel good for extended periods. How is the low-end...

Hi,   I'm looking for some recommendations on some good headphones under $300. The only headphones I have that I would consider "good" are the Sennheiser PX100's (Original ones). I really like the sound they provide, but I would like something a little more clear, with more punchy bass. I...

I''ve done all the review searching and narrowed it down to these few. Which one of these is the overall best? (I like the most bang for the buck)

I really don't understand some of the audio jargon that is thrown at me left in right, bright, warm, smooth, together?? But I'll take a shot on "what kind of sound i like" I like it to have bass, but not so much that it drowns everything out . I also like it to have clarity; I have some logitech...

Alright, after taking a sick day off of school and surfing the net for a decent pair of headphones/headsets (I don't know the difference yet, funny eh?) all day I've come to the conclusion that I need some help..I believe I did post a similar thread but now I have much more money to deal with...
