YES! it does.. many thanks.. I now have a AKG K701 + DT990 Pro with the PB1+DB1 setup..   I think I'm going to get another pair down the line and balance that out + get another desktop amp just for the K701s and the DT990s.. I realized I don't need the portability, I'm always listening to...

Hi All,   In a whim I bought the PB1 and DB1 combo and now I'm trying to match them with a pair of balanced headphones. I currently have DT 880 pro 250ohms loaned to a friend so trying to budget something out for myself.   The problem is - I've not owned balanced headphones before and...

hi all, last time i was here - i was a clg student who had saved up 60 bux for a mdr v6.. best 60 bux ever spent.. those sob's grew up on me like anything.. having owned philips hp 890's (Y did they stop making them, I wud buy those again and again)... it was just too drastic of a change...

Hi Ray, If I'm in the queue for the pre-order plz add me for a red one with gold ends and a gold knob.. I'll build everything around the amp. Thanks a lot, Nik EDIT: PS - It's 9.52pm PST 11/30. Let me know if I made the pre-order deadline.

And the seller - I've heard of it before - though you might not have heard about me before they were on slickdeals.net a while back - for some graphic card deals..

I just ordered the DT990PRO ( 250 ohm ) too.. for 210$ - hopefully live cashback will go through and it will be 150$ in the end.. This is my first foray into xpensive headphone.. yes 200$ is EXPENSIVE - especially with the economy going down the drain.. I've a question for you and...

Okay.. time to rethink.. been quite sometime now since i owned this baby.. i just found the best way to enjoy them- have u tried 'nothing but you - paul van dyk'.. here do this - take few shots of [put ur favorite drink here] till it just starts too hit, nt too much.. wear on V6.. tweak the...

been two days of quite some use.. been using them more for movies and games than music.. i'm facing some problems while using them.. I get headaches if I use them for long.. by long I mean two movies at a stretch, arnd 3-4 hrs of continuous use.. at first I thought, it was coz I've been...

Where can I get the pads from?? and by source I guess you mean, what are they plugged into.. I've them hooked up with my PC.. I own an iPod, bt it's a 3rd gen one and I don't listen to it anymore.. especially since the battery gave up on me.. and yeah, what I meant by tweaking the treble was...

got my hands on the V6 today.. have to say.. i'm nt impressed.. unless my expectations were unrealistic.. my complain is almost the same.. they r too treblish like most headphones.. i've to turn the treble to 20% (50% being normal) for songs to be listenable at med-high volumes.. And I can't go...

Just wondering... nobody mentioned the sony XD 400.. on amazon they have 5/5 rating from 25 reviews.. are they that bad??

Just my (bad/gud) luck.. amazon's into the shipping process already.. I can only return the item once it arrives and don't know if I'll be getting a full refund for it or not.. sheesh.. who thought spending money would turn out to be harder than earning it..
