Thanks so much for all the suggestions, guys. He's going to try out the Senn PXC450, and if they don't work, the k240s. Thanks again!

Ok, this is an odd request, but I have a mate who asked me to post this question for him here. He works in a headphone-friendly environment, but he regularly needs to be able to hear people talking to him and various other things such as incoming messages on the computer. He would like a...

This may have been asked before - in fact, I'm sure it has. But, I couldn't find anything after searching. I'm planning on making some ICs (mini-to-mini, mini-to-RCA, and RCA-to-RCA) with some wire I have already. I also want to try some with CAT-5. What can I use to shield these ICs since...

All I listen to is Drum & Bass and Dubstep on my Beyer dt770/80. All I can say is "Sonic Heaven." They do all electronica just as well. Get them and a portable amp. You'll be set.

Heya everyone. I'm looking for a product which I can use to wirelessly send music from my computer to my stereo system. Nothing fancy. Just sound card -> RF transmitter -> RF receiver -> amp I guess it would be great if the transmitter had a USB DAC instead, but I don't know if...

@GlendaleViper freakin' nice. That should be the end of this thread.

Sorry, I know nothing about them. I just wanted to say that I think they look great. I really like that burnt orange color.

Heya, I just wanted to pipe in and say that I'm from Colorado. I go to CSU in Fort Collins. I think it would be pretty cool to go to a meet and check out some new setups. Right now, I've really only listened to my DT770/80 ampless. I'd like to see how some headphones can scale differently...

I just saw some sony MDR-V500DJs on campus.

My girlfriend's son is not allowed to play with toy guns at all. He is not even allowed to pretend he has a gun in his hand. The teachers at his school apply the same rules to all the kids as well. I completely agree with this parenting. Kids should not be playing with objects whose only...

There are a number of portable amps which have integrated USB DACs. This would satisfy both your requirement for an amp, and better sound from your computer. Headphonia Mini Amp Headroom Total Bithead Meier Audio Porta Corda MKIII-USB I am getting the Headphonia as soon as the newer...

I'm not necessarily the same way, but I'm similar. When I get into the market for something I want, I usually start out looking for something within my price range. I usually then look at the price difference between the product I'm currently considering, and the next better model. I then...
