I owned a pair of Crossroads MylarOne X3 for about 2 years. I loved those headphones; loved the sound they made...so much so that I reached for the X3s before the ATH-ES7 or even the Grado SR60.

First to disappoint you all. No, I did not create a markl type mod for the ath-m50, sorry for getting your hopes up. Now for the point of the thread.   The problems that the markl mod fixes in the Denon Dxk line seem to be the same problems that many people have with the Audio Technica...

In the week I've been a member, I have ordered a set of es7's, an amp from Fred Fred 2004 and now the d2000's. My wallet hurts bad, thank God for 6 months no interest on my Amazon store card!

I'm looking for some good quality portable over the ear headphones to pair with my cowon s9. My budget is around 60 USD. I'm currently using the Grado SR80i with my cowon but the long wire is very irritating. I also find it to be a hassle to carry around. Don't get me wrong, I love these Grados...
