Yeah the portapros might be a good match. Im just looking for a good durable solution in the $60-$100 range thats high quality, solid built, but not extremely hi-fi. (oh and its going to be closed.) The iCans seem like a bust, or at least a good idea that didnt go over well. $130 just for...

Wow thats lame, Im sorry, Ive had similar things happen and its the worst feeling. Hope you get your SA6 soon!

the 555 sounds great, with a little lacking in the bass department, but its open and leaks just as bas as the 485, wouldnt be ideal if your roomate sleeps near you or something. Look into the D1000 (10001?)

Well the Senn 485 is open, and leaks LOTS of noise, and is VERY bass heavy. The V6 is more of a monitoring headphone, flat response FOR THE MOST part, although some people here prefer them for music or so Ive read. Maybe look into in-ears or something, some nice ones too. For $150 Im sure...

Hmm, thanks brook. Id be using them for just walking around (not exercise or anything), at-home laptop listening and bed-time listening. Ive fallen asleep with my PX100's on before and they havent been damaged, but Im worried if I fall asleep with the iCans on they might get broken. So I...

Hey, couldnt find much info in terms of opinions of the iCans here on head-fi (i found plenty eslewhere). How are they compared to the PX100s in : Comfort Sound Quality Bass Impact Price to Performance Ratio Keep in mind, the lowest price for NEW iCans are $70 on Home. So this is...

Good, mostly flat, with slight harsh highs from what Ive heard. These are more production/monitoring cans than anything, but whatever floats you head-fi boat :]

ive heard the bose on ears have bloated bass up the ying yang. (thats what I heard off the top of my head)

Quick question, Im more curious than anything. I have a Roland Electric Drum set, with a V Drum TD6V sound module hooked up to it. All together it was somewhere around $1k, maybe $1.1k, so some pretty expensive stuff. I believe the sound module itself it $600+. Anyways, Im quasi-in the...

So I just pulled the credit card trigger on some Ultrasone HFI450's from Guitar center. They were $100, and Im using them unamped from my laptop sound card. Pretty basic. 20-20000hz freq range 96dB efficiency 32 ohm impedance. Build/Construction Pretty solid, plastic headphones. Well...

Sweet thanks! Too bad we have little to no information regarding the HFI-450's!!!!!

Those would be a sweet stocking stuffer (or equivalent)!

I believe these are at almost every guitar center. They are only on ultrasone.com, and not ultrasoneusa.com. And I can hardly find them online on a site that ships to the USA. Weird? For the price, I would expect there to be a lot more information (especially on this site) about these cans...

Get something with very low sensitivity and high impedance, that way no matter what (without and amp) you cant get it that loud!

Well I cant say Im an expert on all of those genres and some are somewhat ambiguous but I will do my best to give you some recommendations, anything I can do to help! My recommendation for the metal genre, would be the band Protest the Hero. They are somewhat popular (especially in canada)...

[Ill just discuss it here until it gets movied] They seem nice, at least with an amp because of the high impedance. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/sen...burner-195209/ They go from $30-$50 online, so it seems like a good deal. I would get it, but I have no need for new buds at the...

Well I would delete it but there isnt an option for that. So I'll just wait for it to get moved, rather than starting a new one in the portable section. Thanks for letting me know, I actually wasnt aware it had opened up already!

Woot Sellout + 5$ shipping. Its only one day, but I thought I'd get it out there if anyone was looking to purchase them. I dont really know much about these lil buds, but from the specs they dont look too bad.

Sorry to continually bug about this, but Im trying really hard to get a picture of the comfort and pressure of these cans. I wont shill out $120 if they will hurt after an hour. Besides the RP21 and MDR-7506 are there any other cans you have worn that you can compare to the Q40's? Is it...

bumpitty bumpy

What about the Mach 5?

Any other headphones to compare them to? (Senn 280's, Senn 555's, ATH-A700, px100 etc etc) Ive never felt the Rp21's and my view of their comfortability is somewhat murky from what ive read. Thanks. Because honestly Im willing to spend $120 on them if they are super comfortable (I already...

Out of the box, could you maybe compare the comfortability of the Q40's to another headphone (besides the RP21 please, I have never felt it.) I just have this pet peeve with uncomfortable headphones, even studio monitors. If I decide not to go with the Q40's Im probably going to opt for...
