He's talking about the Platinum Pro which have the better DACS to all the other X-FI models.

Yah like everyone said seal is key but what I noticed going from the EX71 to the E4's is that the bass is very present but just wont give u that impact like the EX71's would. I could hear it, its nice and tight and very clean for most of my songs but when I play some other music like certain...

Hans Zimmer - Crimson Tide & Gladiator Michael Kamen - Band Of Brothers Yann Tiersen - Amelie John Williams - Schindlers List, Star Wars Soundtracks, Jurassic Park Howard Shore - LOTR Trilogy Lee Holdridge - The Tuskegee Airmen

Just hope this lasts till the end of the week.

What stores have you contacted? I just spoke with djmart and their willing to lower their prices from whats listed on the page but not sure if its the 120 or 50 ohm model.

Im almost in the same boat as you. Looking for something open to go with the DT250's I already have, but ive narrowed my choices down to the HD580 or 595 due to their prices. Driven off a pimeta with ad8610/20 opamps.

Best way to avoid the head-fi syndrome is to constantly be broke but I would probably go with the MD33's from what I read around here. I haev the EX71 and its very muddy, bloated in the bass, and painful highs at first or I may have just gotten used to them

I think so, and I think it goes for any because I just tried it on HD580's that came out to $190 with shipping and tax and it dropped to $172.

Every decent sounding can, so I wont have problems with certain music

Im almost in the same boat. I have DT250's right now hooked to a pimeta and am wanting open ones. So far its between the DT440 or Senn HD580 or 595's. I want the better all around open phone and get conflicting reports on each.

Hi everyone, well to get to the point, I currently have Beyerdynamic DT250-80's hooked to a Pimeta made by MisterX. My primary sources are my PC using an M-Audio Revo, my Zen Xtra, or my Pioneer DV563 dvd player. Im looking for a good all rounder open phone (Classical, Jazz...

YEs VERY tight out of the box, as for having big heads I dunno but as long as I don't feel like my skull is being crushed, its all good

Mine were like a vice grip on my head very painful. So what i did was while letting them burn in I put 2 pillows on each side of the beyer box, put the beyers over them and left them there for 2 days. After that they were a tight fit but they were alot more comfortable. If you can stand wearing...

I too was hoping for a classic one day, but even me being a n00b, norm answered all my emails rather quickly and in a detailed manner. Just a great guy to deal with. Wish I coulda pulled the trigger on one last week. But anyways, Good luck on your future endeavours.

Reading around ppl got the 280's for $59 or $69 with the guitarcenter price match thing. I recently bought the 250-80's for $150 at BH Photo, well 142 + shipping so the price wasnt to bad and they came in 2 days early

ANything portable? like will a Porta Corda be a good match?

Any particular amps you recommend, prefereably under $300 more within the $1-200 u.s. range

Alright, thanks for your info. Just wondering about the 202/212 comparison in blocking noise, I can hear outside noises fine, I don't really need an extreme isolation where im in my own world sort of thing, but just enough to not get annoyed or annoy others when I listen with them.

Hi everyone, Im new here and looking for my first purchase of good closed phones. I did extensive searches on closed headphones, and probably found that the Beyers are the ones for me. But I have a few questions regarding them. Im currently running sennheiser hd 202's (just a cheap quick...
