I've been investigating possible portable iem's and it appears that under that budget, the best choice is the triplefi's... but before deciding i'd like your opinions about it.   They'll be used with a PMP mostly, unamped, FLAC files though, playing progressive/heavy rock so instrument...

Hi Hybrys,   Thanks a LOT for the input, that's exactly what I was asking, lots of people in this forum says that most of the hi-end phones would require dedicated headphone amp, and I was wondering if I could use the mixer for that, and from what I understand of your post, It is more than...

Hi,   No, I meant exactly what I wrote, XtremeMusic. Which IS a X-Fi Based PCI soundcard.   Check your facts.   But regardless, what I'm interested to understand is the mixer part.   Thanks.

Hey,   Regardless of the quality of my Soundcard, can the mixer be considered a dedicated headphone amp? or is it no better than straight from the PC?   Thanks.

Hey   That last remark of yours is funny!   Thanks for the quick review, Hmm, hi-hats sounds good? bass is drummy? as in opposite to thumpy..   I'm still undecided between M50's to K240MKII's..   -Jo

Hey,   Great, I'd like to read how do they impress you.   What's the diff between K240S to MKII?   ATM, the ATH-M50 are leading, because I read very good things on them and also in the freq charts on headroom they seem to even top the k240's.   Thanks.  

Hey,   Firstly I'd like to know your initial impression [as I think "burnin" is a total myth], but I'd also like to know the price you got them for/where.   Thanks!

Hi   Alright, so I narrowed it to: Sony MDR7506, Fostex T50RP, ATH m50 or NIB m40fs [how big is the diff between them?] and Edit: AKG K240 [I just noticed they're well in my price range].   I figure that because most of my posts here are too long, I get few replies so I'll repeat shortly...

Hello,   In another recent thread of mine it was mentioned that if the source isn't good then the phones im intending to get will make it very notice able...   So it made me wonder about the quality of my equipment, for headphones.......   its 44.1khz and sometimes 48khz WDM [haven't...

Quote: Although the analogy doesn't exactly fit the situation, try to ask yourself the same question about car makers.. and you'll figure out the "why" on your own..       If by now you didn't, then the answer is pretty simple, It takes a HUGE amount of resources to do that to...

Hey,   Firstly thank's to ALL of you who replied, and quickly too!   Currently, The Fostex T50rps looks like a pretty good option, I am also considering the Sennheiser's , as for the Sony, Are you sure they're not Bassy type of phones?   About the SQ, I think I didn't explain myself...

The whole concept of "Burnin" the headphones is controversial at best. And as funny as it sounds, there is a whole lot more than one method of achieving it, some opposite others. I.E. some say play specific type of things, some say play a bit of everything, some say constant vol. some say...

Hello, firstly, for the forum skeptics, I have indeed used the "Search" Button, but it appears my situation is rather unique as I didn't find any specific related threads to what I'm looking for. Onwards to topic, I am looking for a decent pair of preferably CLOSED "Over the Ear"...

Generaly speaking, SQ Will probably be better in headphones compared to earphones in almost any budget[meaning: 600$ Will buy you better headphones than earphones at same price SQ-Wise, etc.....] But I think that there ARE earphones in your budget that can be very close to a high end headphone...

there is a thread here comparing fake es7 to geniune ones.

Indeed, yuins are a bit more 'premium' than the regular earbuds you'd get for 10 bucks, accesories-wise aswell....... If you can find a place that lets you hear them first [and test comfort] - then go there before buying.... Goodluck.

True, the yuin's are a pretty decent solution for you, although personally I haven't got experience with them i've been reading alot about their surprising sound quality, their downside is isolation...... which is actually an upside to you!

You can't compare these two, theres a reason they are from a completly different price tags[er6i is x2 from cx300 pricewise]. so it depends on how much would you like to spend.

Google is your friend, or Wikipedia for that matter lol. But generaly speaking, Pink, White and other colors of noises are just 'nicknames' of repeated frequency sound files..... I can't recall what frequency is related to what 'Color of noise' though, for that - read Wikipedia/Google it...

Pez, you obviously skipped... 3 out of 4 pages of this topic Grado ain't gonna work for me. Weste, I dont Change my mind, Cus I didnt make up my mind in first place, and you too, seem to have skipped most pages of this topic, I did kinda narrow down the choice to 2-3 possible phones. Thanks.

Erm, Thanks for the comment [above] but I've already decided to buy headphones only and no amp [for now] .. The only question remains is which phones, although you already know what the leading choices right now.. . Thanks.

Why? I saw plenty of sales going on here for 100$+ shipping for ER4P's..

hmm an offer popped up, senns cx400 for about 50$ - I might be able to take him a little lower from that price, its NIB too [so he claims]. Though right now I'm more interested in the ER4p and SE210.. just unsure which of the two.. but I'd still like to hear your opinion about the CX400...
