    Sorry to bug you guys...

    One of the beautiful things about these forums is it's pretty easy to sell stuff on here. If you were to get a $100 set of cans and find they're not to your liking, you can knock $20 or so off the price you got them for and sell them in the For Sale forums, and more than likely they'd go pretty...

    Official ATH-ES7 Thread

    Oh I'm sure I'll get there over time. I almost have to wear headphones so I can get anything accomplished at my job while I'm surrounded by a bunch of yappin' ass women. I chose the ES7s because not only are they highly recommended by many folks on here and look amazing, they also isolate pretty...

    dt770 has barely any bass?

    I am in the process of acquiring a Corda Move from a fellow head-fi'er with the intention of eventually powering some DT770s with it. Do you think the Move will put out enough current to power them well or should I start saving my pennies to get a home amp as well? Quote: Originally...

    Official ATH-ES7 Thread

    I've got plenty of burn time on them. I put 20 hours of burn on them immediately after opening the box. Since then it's been 4-5 hours 5 nights a week. They do sound markedly better than they did fresh from the box but they still don't have that high end sparkle that I look for. Quote...

    Official ATH-ES7 Thread

    I've owned a pair of ES7s for a little over three weeks now. The only bad thing about them is they're not comfortable to wear with glasses. I also wish they had a bit more on the higher end of the spectrum, but that's just my personal sound preference. I do like the sound they produce. The bass...

    Senn HD 25-1 vs Audio Technica ES 7

    I've never tried the HD25s, but I currently own the ES7s. Running straight off an iPod, the mids are VERY forward, there's a good/decent amount of punchy bass that's a little loose at times, and the highs are a little recessed. As far as isolation, I was listening to them at work one evening and...

    When did you lose your Ear Virginity?

    Back when I was in high school (circa 1994) my folks bought me a set of Koss that bear a resemblance to today's Portapros. I loved those cans and listened the hell out of them. The cables started going bad after about a year and I got rid of them. About 2 1/2 years ago I finally got another good...

    REAL bose vs skullcandies thread

    A buddy of mine at work has the Bose on-ear cans. He let me borrow them when I started having issues with my SR80s a few months back. I could barely stand to listen to them; being used to the crystal clear brightness of the Grados it was too stark a contrast going to those bass-bloaty, muddy...

    Portable headphones for my girlfriend

    My wife loves the sound of her iGrados. They were originally for myself but the street style didn't mesh very well with my glasses (I hate contacts.) So to her they went and she absolutely loves them.

    Do you think wearing full-size headphones in public makes you look like a spaz/geek/weirdo?

    As many others have stated, I personally don't really care what others think. I try my best to not be judgemental of what others wear, how they act, what they look like, etc., and I kinda take that philosophy myself. If I look like a dork because I'm wearing some SR80s on my head instead of...

    Questions about the HD-555

    I gave a buddy of mine my SR80s. He mainly uses headphones only at his computer and he's a bit more skilled with electronics wiring than I am. It took him less than 15 minutes to get the cable back in working order. Seeing as how he's never owned a pair of cans that cost more than $15 I was more...

    Questions about the HD-555

    Howdy gang. I've been lurking hear for a few weeks and came up with some questions I haven't been able to quite get answered (yes, I know about the 'search' function.) I mainly listen to headphones at work. My department just moved their working area this week and it's incredibly chaotic now...
