Didn't the mods already say no?

So that's where the hope comes from?

Thank you. Nice work. Is there a wireless one coming out? Now that wireless is becoming more and more.

BTW denon HP1000 and ATH Pro700 look the same. could they be rebrands?
 

Yes, I've read somewhere that they are. Not sure if true. I think there was a 3rd sibling as well.

There's a review of the TDK WR700 in the thread and I'll probably post a review of my Sennheiser MM400s at some point as well. No plans for any other wireless sets at this time.

Hey |joker| and others, what do you think about the akg k518 vs k181, I guess I want the portability of the k518, but am worried mostly about its long term cable durability and to a lesser extent the increased sq and potential better isolation of the k181. I'm probably going to go with the k518 because it's a better portable overall, but did your k81 cable hold up to the wear and tear for a portable can?

I think the K81 is better value for money at <$50 if you can get used to the tight fit. My pair was over a year old with no cable issues whatsoever. The cord is pretty tough. Not sure if that's still true for the K518 as they are meant for consumer use but I would guess the cable is just shorter.

I received my px 100s ii yesterday. I really like em. What i noticed is that after wearin em for a bit, the cushion on the pads, gets kinda embedded to the plastic from the speaker. When i come back it gets partly to normal, but the shape is not totally flat like i guess it should be . Not sure if thats normal or if i should wear em more loose.

Thanks, I figured that's what I would hear, but thanks for the reassuring post. With this head-fi stuff it's constantly about "well if I spend this much more then I could look at buying this headphone instead" lol. I think I'll be glad with my choice. I placed an order today for the k518 because they were only $46 shipped and sold from amazon. Should be a strong portable headphone that is budget friendly.
 
Also, thanks for this amazing portable review thread. I have spent hours reading reviews of different headphones because you give a good amount of impressions without the information becoming too dense. When I have a better cash flow I'll have to look at getting some of the portable kings either the beyer dt1350 or the old champ sennheiser hd25. In the mean time the akg should satisfy.

ljokerl is not made out of money! Maybe you can send him a Cargo container filled with headphones.

I never noticed, but then I probably didn't look at the foam when taking them off.

I've got a PRO550, PRO650, and HFI-780 but unfortunately no time to review them. Hopefully soon!

 
 

 

[PhenomenalSound]

Well it would be very useful if you review the HFI-780s. But I will just wait until you do more reviews of those cans anyway.
