Here's a vote for good sound card, because that's all I have experience with. I recently ditched my Audigy 2 for a HT Omega Claro+, which I run to my PIMETA and out to my DT880. The only time I get the slightest hint of noise is when I crank both the sound card and the amp to max volume, and...

They're great for $20. I wouldn't pay any more, though. The PortaPro is better at $40.

Time to be the voice of dissent. I've never head the PX-200, so I won't say anything about it. I did own the PX-100, and the best I can say is I liked it. It wasn't anything special, but it was a solid phone for a cheap price and I liked that it folded up small into the case. They...

Beyerdynamic DT880 is my favorite so far, though it may be a little tough to find it for $200. The DT770 is slightly less comfortable, but can be had for $200. I'll second the mention for Audio-Technica. I had an A900 for a brief period and it was extremely comfortable. The only reason I give...

I've owned two of these three (A900 and HD25), and I'd take a beyerdynamic DT770 over either one of them. I can't speak for the Denon because I've never heard one before. Also, as a word of warning: if you wear glasses, take the HD25 off your list. You will likely learn a new meaning of pain...

I would buy some, but people keep comparing them to the A900, a headphone I very severely disliked. :\

I thought my HD25-1 travelled well. The biggest problem is I wear glasses and that's a big no-no with those phones. I found them horribly uncomfortable.

Quote: Originally Posted by Andrew_WOT What I meant it's not a bass monster like older Pro version, may be "light" wasn't the right word there. This I can agree with. I did the blu-tak mod to my DT770 Pro to tame the bass and that brought it to a similar level that the DT770 '05...

What I'm recommending is the DT770 '05, which is 250 ohm. I've never heard the DT770/80, so again, I won't say anything about it.

Beyerdynamic DT770. Soundly trounces the A900, much more comfortable than the HD25, and you can get one on Amazon for $114 and spend the rest on a pretty good amp.

I don't know what the '05 DT770 sounds like (I have one coming on Tuesday thanks to the sale). I have a Blu-tak modded DT770 Pro with a PIMETA I built for myself at work, and they absolutely blow me away. I don't think you'll see as big a jump from the Koss to the low-end Grado as you would...

Quote: Originally Posted by BluesDaddy This makes me wonder if we have actually heard the same cans. My impressions are exactly the opposite, with the KSC75s being on the tinny side unless you substantially mod them to get a better seal to the ear. As far as bass and midrange, there is...

Hated: Sennheiser HD205. Brain clamps with average sound. Threw them in the trash and switched to Sennheiser PX-100s. Disliked: Bose Triport AE. Comfortable, but not worth the price, with overall sound quality on par with the HD205. Gave them to my dad and switched to Beyer DT770 Pro...
