1000+ Head-Fier
Pros: Sparkly but not hot treble, deep, controlled AKG K702 type bass (maybe a bit more weight), "good" comfort
Cons: Mids nowhere near as luscious as my LCD-2s (duh), not worth the $560 asking price)

Pros: MOAR BASSSS
Cons: Terrible value and sound
My first foray into "high end" audio. Without these I never would have got on the right track. How are they? Not bad, just with skull crushing bass. (I never bought Skullcrushers) And terrible value. You can't forget that.

I'm surprised you gave them 4.5 stars for comfort, I found them unbearable to wear for more than a few seconds, and I actually thought they sounded pretty good. They just cost about $250 too much.

Meh...there's plenty of worse things he could have done to make money...and plenty of worse ways for me to waste it (yet again)

Pros: Cool looking cable
Cons: Waste of money
Don't believe the marketing BS. This cable will make NO difference. I wish I could give 0 stars. I really do.

If you actually purchased this cable, it's very brave of you ... I have never heard anyone buying $1000's+ worth of cables and not noticing an improvement !!

I own one of this. It's sure max up transfer rated on HDD but for sound quality it does a better job on my stereo system. To be able to define the ability of it I think you would need a system to test them, it dose not need to be expensive just that make sure it the only important cable in the cable.

At first I have to say that I am not believe in this cable difference things but I should give it a try. I mean there are some people who buy thos cable that cost like a car and I think those who have that much money to buy those wouldn't do it if it doesn't worthy, til I was found out my self.
At that time I try out with the Audioquest forest USB cable. I first try them on HDD haha it does transfer faster so I goon to the next examination. I try on BOSE com5. There are only one cable that you could change in this system and it's the source and I did burn in for 3days (cause my return policy is just 7day so need to evaluate them quick) . First impressions is while I burning in with movies, dynamics length is huge. There are kind of 8-10 level in the Same movie I had watched wasn't long ago with the stock which is have like 3-4 different level. It's is like I deselect the dynamic range compression function. It is a good thing but with the com5 I really have trouble turning volume up and down with the forest the action scenes is too loud if you adjust the volume base on dialogue level. And that's when I realized " yeb cable does make a difference". then I did the A-B test with the forest and stock from Bose. This is just a normal Itune and USB digital audio out to BOSE com5 basic setting. The music is more fluid, lively and better soundstage there is more to the depth of the sound field. That's it I return it to the shop.....instead, I brought the step up "Cinnamon" and enjoy! That's was 6 years ago. I am now with the carbon from macmini to my NAD M51, a couples of chocolate HDMI all the way to Cardas golden ref. XLR. And MIT speaker cable.

Pros: Drives AKG K702s fairly well, small, portable (USB bus powered), great SQ, well priced
Cons: Amp section not able to drive HD650s very well, but what did I expect-it's tiny and bus powered, so pretty damn good, considering
I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Using it (temporarily) as an amp for my K702s and Hifiman RE-262s and as a DAC for my HT and stereo system, I am very impressed. The amp section, a huge upgrade from the headphone amp in my Pioneer Elite VSX-52, has given the AKG's famed anemic bass a well needed boost (I don't EQ) and has improved my Blu-Ray audio experience as well. Easy to just put it in a bag with my laptop and headphones and go-an incredibly convenient product to use. I would highly recommend this to anyone frequently on the go for a "one stop shop" audio solution.

Pros: Great forward mids, tight, controlled base, smooth treble
Cons: Right channel does not work out of iPod Classic on these headphones ony
I was really looking forward to enjoying these. After plugging them in, I quickly realized that there was very little sound coming from the right IEM. I plugged them into my Fiio E11, and wow. These are far better in each and every respect than my B&W C5s, which were far too bass heavy for my tastes.

@Phos so I'm guessing the Fiio E11 has a TRRS output jack?

No, its ground contact is just big enough to hit both of the 262's ground contacts
