  It's too bad that the Image One and Reference One are way too bassy for all but the most extreme listening preferences.

 
When I first went into Radio Shack looking for the M-80 deal, the guy working the counter was like, try these, they are awesome.  He played some Offspring on the Image One and within a half a second I tore them off my head and said "My god those are horrible.  So much bass."  He said "Really?  Usually people tell me they like the way they sound."

Coppers are up there too.  I dig the Tributes, was going back and forth between those and Shure SLC4 before I made the move from IEMs to headphones.  Never heard the Coppers though, definitely curious which I'd prefer.

I used to work at RadioShack and 90 percent of the people want bass headphones like Beats. =(

Have the MD's, always wanted the copper, wasn't there originally, went for it, shoot!

Thank you for pointing out the Coppers. I just grabbed two.

Today, I actually managed to snag a Dell Venue 8 Pro at a local store for $99. Boy, the deals and this tablet are worth the hype! Luckily, three hours was enough of time to be at the front of the line. But I cannot say how it will be later on.

Would it be safe to assume that these deals start at 9PM PST/12AM EST for the online Microsoft stores?  That JBL Flip speaker looks intriguing.

 

[Hifihedgehog]

It was 7 AM PST/10 AM EST for the online deals. From what I read on the techie sites, most people who refreshed their pages on the first second didn't even get it. From what I could tell, driving to a local store two and a half to three hours before was much more hopeful than trying to catch the online promotion.

 

[GaryPham]

Damn that sounds pretty brutal, looks like you got a great deal on that tablet though!  Too bad I have work on the 19th, probably wouldn't be worth the wait for the jbl speakers.

Still some deals on LCD-2 and T1, I believe...anyone have any experience with them?

doctorjazz,



Love your moniker and all jazz, my favorite genre, everything except smooth jazz.



I have LCD2, HE-6, HD-800, Vixen V3, and others, here. Check my profile, if interested. They sound phenomenal with good components. You don't have to go crazy expensive on amps and DACs to get fantastic sound.



HE-6 and Vixen V3 are my favorites and compliment each other nicely. Nothing wrong with the others, though. At that price for the LCD2? I'd snap it up!



Best,



BMF

 


So, LCD-2 still there, tempting, you really think I should go for it? (not cheap, have to explain to the little lady...)
