I have my eye on an OLP John Petrucci model... it played wonderfully for $350. Just need to find a decent small amp... maybe a Roland Cube.

IMHO you havent fully heard this little driver till you mod them. Not quite giant killers, but IMHO theyre not that far off in many ways. Modded, the treble sparkle is remarkable. IMHO of course.

These cans are also horrible for sleeping. you cannot sleep on your side, obviously. however, you can't sleep on your back either, because the small behind-the-ears strap will dig into the small of your neck, or dig into wherever you place them. every one i've had try out these cans loved the sound, but hated the comfort. maybe with mods it can be done, but out of the box i find them unusable. also - they leak way too much sound, definately not library friendly. i think canalphones are definately worth the investment compared to these. definately not giant killers ... think about what you're comparing them against! they may be good for twenty bucks, but they don't stand up to any headphone more expensive than the SR-80's, which are far from giants anyway. |
