We must have the same ears (lol). I was pretty disappointed by the verrrry hyped up sr-60's. How would the D1001's fare comfort-wise? Also, replying to wrecked_porsche, with the music at a decent level, ON A HIGHSCHOOL BUS, I cannot hear anybody talking and I can only hear the diesel...

your right! kthxbai head-fi...

well.. i've been "sober" for over a year so i guess it wont hurt to buy a new pair found one for $90 shipped

thanks I was actually reading the review when you bumped it :O. Looks like I may have to sell my SR-60's and buy one of these bad boys to see how they perform against the K-81 and RP-21 and how they respond to the fiio amplifier coming from a xfi, psp, and a ipod shuffle 2g! (My wallet...

changed from "an amazing headphone for home use that absolutely annihilates anything in its price range" to "an amazing headphone for home use that absolutely annihilates almost anything in its price range" lol. Also, i havent seen any formal reviews done on the q-40 nor have i heard...

Comparison: AKG K-81DJ and Equation Audio RP-21 Note: The k-81 is blu-tak modded and has the foams removed from the earcups. Hip Hop - Lupe fiasco/ Matthew Santos "Superstar" MP3 RP-21: Very detailed throughout the audio spectrum with tight, controlled bass but lacking in bass quantity...

Ra- From One The singer has a great voice with middle eastern roots- You dont usually find that in a modern rock band. Seriously, after listening to RA's album, I have avoided mainstream rock. With the RP-21's superior sound stage and refinement, I realize a certain uniqueness and...

Ive always had better experiences with full sized headphones but... The etymotic er-4 line is a good place to start if you want some similar characteristics to your Alessandros. Not a recommended IEM for bass heavy music though.

HD-585 with 595 grills and hd-650 cord is the way to go (if you can still find an affordable one)

Unmodded and after a year of wearing it, the k-81dj is very comfortable. But the most comfortable would have to be my bike helmet foam modded SR-60's. They engulfs your entire head with foam. Very tacky but very comfy!

akg k-81dj is an extremely fun headphone for rock (i used it 5 days a week for a whole school year listening to rock/metal) Its sound is decent but the bass is very overpowering It is very versatile and way within your budget and the highs are not as harsh as grados.

If you can get your hands on some HE60's and a nice amplifier/ source, your ears will be in heaven and you will probably not catch upgraditis.

you may want to amp the sr-80 with an ibasso

i dont know, my local hospital had a helmet fitting and i got it for 5 bucks including the extra foam. Im guessing they are all similar

atleast these can protect me from major head trauma... I dont see beyers doin that!

it's free and about 5x more comfortable than a quiet comfort 2 headband So i guess that makes up for the "tackiness"

bump- Feedback would be great!

image issue fixed... Velcro makes the pads fully interchangable between my sr-60 and my k-81dj

Materials Needed: Big/Small Foam helmet pads Velcro Dots Super glue I recently bought a new bike helmet and it came with 6 extra pads. It made me think of this easy way to mod my SR-60's headband. First of all, heres a before picture...

If these got a little bit more publicity, I wouldn't mind having some financial ties with equation... lol

even if he did have financial links- it wouldnt change the fact that these deliver very good sound for a low price. Everybody loves a FOTM scandal though

Next time, I might use popsicle sticks made from pure mahogany... or i could try the Haagen Daaz upgrade. Maybe if I chrome plate the popsicle stick and lubricate it, it will make the sound more "slippery" back to RL... I woodstained my popsicle sticks and hotglued them together. They...

Ok... So I tested them and they sounded extremely honky. I drilled some more holes in the grill and it fell apart. What I learned from this is that fiddling with the sr-60 grille will only result in worse sound. Leave it be. BTW no pics because it looked like crap, it's broken, and it sounded...

Im posting pics when im done with it.. Im waiting for the glue to dry right now

Since I've had alot of spare time... I've been modding my SR-60's. I tried making wood mesh (with toothpicks) but it was too unreliable. I have moved on to bigger and better things (popsicle sticks). I took some sharp plyers and shaped 5 sticks into a circle the size of the SR-60's original...
