they are hot, but I get sweaty with any pleather, like T-50P or AKG270 playback.
 
I must admit, I don't think I could listen for more than 20 mins at a time in this heat, and on the humid tubes
and trains even less.
 
I sweat alot from head unfortunately, drives me mad
 

 
 
I'm glad I'm not alone. It's not hot where I am, but I still get hot ears with any headphones. I'm okay with the HD-25's which sit on my ears rather than over them, but I wish I could wear full size cans sometimes, for that feeling of total immersion, soundstage etc.

Shoddy phone pic of today's office rig - I unplugged both chargers, so YES, it's portable

DX100 -> O2 -> HD650. Just got the O2 today and it's brillant. Doesn't add or subtract anything, just wire with gain. Really brought the HD650 to life!

Looks like Cogsand Gears' or Qusp's work. Probably Qusp's as Cogsand Gears likes the off brand Oyaide mini plugs. Either way it looks like some great craftsmanship.

Which LOD is that btw?

 
 
Can't wait for the end of the week, should have lots of new gear to post pictures of. Very excited about the near-future for my portable rig.
 
EDIT: ShotgunShane beat me to it. Guess I was right about my guess. Both cable makers have a similar style with the epoxy molded LOD part.

My newer, much better portable setup

Beyerdynamic DT 1350
Fostex HP-P1
Ipod Classic 160GB
ALO Straps + Copper 22 Ipod to USB
 
Sounds much much better than using an LOD straight from the Ipod's DAC to the Ibasso D2 + Boa setup I previously posted. I'm having eargasms constantly at work now!

Looks awesome! Even though I've been on an IEM kick as of late, I still have this urge to try the DT1350's. Maybe one day, eh? :P
 
 
I updated my rig as well: finally did a DIYmod and made an (uglier) dock for it, and got some SM3 v2's  in lab right now, so yeah.
