I thought this was funny.. I saw this happening a while ago when we first started this thread with the Philips SHE3580 and the TT isarus.

LOL! I don't know about the Cardas but I did look up the rest once in awhile to check their prices.

Also, a friend who broke his beats has now moved on to something better. I recommended the Onkyos headphones and he immediately commented on how pretty they are and bought them. I'd love to see how he likes them after the 100hrs mark.

 

[Dsnuts]

Don't know if he is gonna like how clear and balanced the Onkyos are gonna sound vs the beats. He is in for a real shocker. Bass might not be enough for him if he is a basshead.
 
I would have suggested he get the Ultrasone HFI-580s. If he finds the bass is not enough for him. Suggest the HFI-580 instead. Those have some brawny bass with the clarity..

  Might be the single most beautiful track ever made.  Sweet dreams.  

 
Thanks Danny! I hadn't heard that track before. Beautiful and haunting. And lots of beautiful Vancouver BC in that video as well! The 6:07 minute mark looked just a bit familiar to an image I took a while ago lol:

 

[Exesteils]

Nah, he bought the beats at a sale, and only uses them when he's in transit on the subway. He has a pair of Grado woodies for his desktop.

 

[7S Cameron]

Hmmm... These or the X1. Decisions, decisions....


Also, small heads-up. I'm selling both my S2 and H-200s within the next day. While I enjoy both, my TF10s, IE-HF300 are the only ones I use now.

The rumored $120 for the silver cables for the H-200 helped me make the decision for them. Figured I'd let people here in the thread have a shot at them 1st.

How much are you selling the S2s for?

 

[Dsnuts]

Ok he is gonna dig the Onkyos. I would suggest at least 200 hours of burn in. I am continuing to burn my pair and knock out the 200. Will probably add a bit more just for good measure. These titanium drivers seem to be pretty stiff.
 
Might have a little surprise for ya'll on Monday..Stay tuned.

That was splendid Dannybai, thanks for sharing. I listened with the H200 + upgrade cable and it was such a relaxing experience.

 

[sfwalcer]

^ Oh yeah Danny you wanna fight!!!
 
... Emancipator is pretty damn nice/ similar style.
 
BOGO.

 

 

[NuckinFutz]

I personally request someone on here pick up the Yamaha hph-200, they are massively overlooked and a bit of Nuts love would put them out there!

 

[uzunaruto]

One quick question, Im a bass lover, so would the onkyo FC300 quench my thrist?

 

[Dsnuts]

I love the bass end of these but they are not bass heavy. They have great quality bass reaches deep with the bass chamber but the sound is not boosted like a bass heavy can..For around the same price you should look into the Ultrasone HFI-580/ DJ1s Both are the same phones different color schemes called differently. These will have the bass your looking for and has clarity to the sound which is tough to do for bass emphasized phoned to get right.
  The ES-FC300 overall has the more accurate higher quality sound and excellent bass response, but will lack in the bass impact compared to something like the DJ1s.
 
The HFI-780 actually are my top trance cans with my WS99. The DJ1s does hip hop. EDM done right. Guilty pleasure indeed.

 

[Dsnuts]

So I let these cook overnight..All I can say is. Brainwavz stepped up their game. Something I like to see. These are on another tier vs the previous AT cheapos. These are on the same sound tier as the VSD1s. For not even half the price.. These are seriously knocking on the best cheapo phone I have heard category.

 

[shotgunshane]

These are seriously knocking on the best cheapo phone I have heard category.

I have to agree.

Ok you metal-heads (and you know who you are!), for a different kind of metal, check out the "A weather front was stalled out in the Pacific--like a lonely person, lost in thought, oblivious of time" track from Cloudkicker's new album "Subsume". Pretty cool stuff. I haven't listened to the full album yet, but you can pay what you want for mp3 or flac download of it here. Btw, I found out about that from this great thread.
