ad700 or hd555 + zalman clip on mic

that's an awesome set up, love the pc then study desk.

why don't you buy cds or atleast download flac?

Use FLAC if you want loseless with tag support. Players like foobar and winamp support it, rockbox'd DAPS also support it, aswell as players like Meizu and Cowon. It is smaller than wav aswell. I normally tag it my self, theres sites with all the cd track listing if its not a original cd with...

Well are the PK1s gonna be used in a portable machine? Do you need them etc, what are you going to use and enjoy more, that should tell what you want first.

Good post guys. I don't notice many bad CDs(but some do sound awesome like pink floyd) because I used to listen to 192kpbs mp3's all the time, until I found my dad's collection of old prog rock and started buying CDs my self. I'm still keen on the dt880s, can't try any of these headphones and...

reading this thread makes me glad about wanting to get some dt880s i listen too all types of metal melodic death (early inflames - there new stuff isn't really melodic death hehe but still good, just not as good) at the gates, dark tranquility etc etc but also metal like iron maiden, and...

IMO, pointless. Get a CD rack

are you going to be lanning? ad700s, hd555s... stay away from a700 etc, poor sound positioning (you hear ppl too late, bass ruins footsteps) however the ad700 is great for cs. cs = sound positioning guys, not bass effects if u lan and take dt880s to run off onboard..

^ also interested, i have the ad700 and there very comfy. but i am looking to upgrade headphones soon, based around bands like dark tranquility, at the gates, in flames, iron maiden, ratm, etc, need to have a nice punch, basically want the music to be more energetic, the ad700s are nice...

hmm ok cheers damn i love album art for some reason, even though i will hardly use it..
