Apparently they're up for demo at some Best Buys. If you camp out there long enough you might see one.

Best buy has a lot of cans, for demo these days (at least by me) but i've never seen the 800s... nore anything i'm interested in lol.

I saw a thread discussing Bestbuys... Some of them are apparently being outfitted to carry high end headphones such as the HD800 while here in Canada the best we can demo is the bose qc15 >.>
Honestly, here's the lineup at my local bestbuy:
Skullcandy aviator
Bose QC15
Sennheiser hd428
Beats Pros/Studios
Skullcandy GI or something.

My friend, during the last period of class. I think this is pretty self explanatory in its own right.

Isn't that an iPhone 3GS? If it is, why are you using an external amp with the Q701? You know, because they have an impedance of 62.

Because they need a lot of current.........

Nope. iPhone 4. And yes, the Q701's need a lot of juice.

I thought they had stuff like HD598, Shure Srh1440 and AKG k550 now? We always get people coming to our store to price match bestbuy's prices lol

Not at my local bestbuy...
The best sennheiser is the rs120/hd428
They have all the bose, beats and skullcandy products.
They have some very low end pioneer and some ultimate ears buds (not even the superfi)

Yeah, my local only had Skullcandy Aviators, Klipsch One, an assortment of Beats, and a couple of other brands that didn't impress me much because I don't remember what they are. If they had flagships available to demo, I'd probably spend a lot more time there.

what cable do you use for the lcd2 to use the balanced mode on the 71b?

Fun thread!

Recently I had a couple of friends audition the LCD-2 driven by iPod -> CLAS -> SR-71B.
They were both astonished and agreed they never listened to anything even remotely as good. Some of their words: "they sound is so clear!" or "I hear all these sounds coming from different directions" and stuff like that.
 
Then I told them to play Radiohead's In Rainbows album and "man, this bass kicks ass!"
 
Their impressions were all strangely similar to my first experience listening to really good headphones (HD600)... funny huh?

Come on! Not again!

 

[GL1TCH3D]

So my parents gave me the fiio e17 for my birthday and they wanted me to show the entire family my headphones (entire being my parents and grand parents).

So they tried my t5p+fiio e17 combo with some lossless music.
They started exclaiming that they've never heard music this good before, etc.
My grandma even started dancing around and stuff. It was pretty funny.

Let's bring this thread back!
 
Got a few people to listen to my LCD-2s here at work today, one older guy I work with said they took him back to his old analog days and that he was tempted to go buy himself a setup and then beg forgiveness from his wife. He also then came up to me the next day and told me it took a whole day after that before his earbuds (some Bose noise cancelling ones) were even tolerable again.
 
Had another guy listen to a song he brought over and about halfway through proclaim that it was like it was the first time he was actually hearing the song.
 
I've actually got another friend here who, upon hearing the first guy say he had such a hard time going back to his earbuds, decided that he didn't want to listen to them
 
 
Also had a couple more neutral reactions, but I suspect it was mainly because they were listening to whatever I had playing at the time and not their own music.
