Lol I wish!   Ayway, I didn't speciffy that I enjoyed the HD201 but it was a total different scenario: at home, not at work.

I entered the headphones world more or less 10 years ago, I wanted something cheap but with a great price\sound ratio and I ended up with HD201. Then life happened and I didn't step up my headphone game, I just kept buying the same model over and over when it became unusable (cable fail mostly)...

Anybody?

Hi all, I've owned a pair of HD201 for more than 3 years, but they're quite damaged now and I need an upgrade. I'm currently listening from the integrated soundcard (Realtek HD889A), but I'm planning to buy a decent card or even an USB DAC maybe. I truly listen to everything, from ambient...

Thanks again for your suggesions. But please do not get me wrong here: sounding good with rock isn't my priority, also because I truly listen to everything, believe me. My priority is general detail and soundstage.

I'm bumping the thread, asking if, in your opinion, the AKG K 240 Studio would be any good for me. Thanks in advance.

Too bad I can't find Grados out here, sounds like they would be just fine for me.

Hi all, I'm new here. I've been owing these HD 201 for more than 2 years now and I'm quite happy with them, especially considering their price, but I definetely want an upgrade. I think I should look for general purpose headphones, since I'll use them in a variety of situations: watching...
