The new Ultimate Ears 6000 sounds pretty darn nice for a "premium consumer headphone".

I did exactly that yesterday.
They were decent I guess. Better than beats solos that's for sure

Apple has headphones on display?

Yes?
Took 5 seconds to Google Image "Apple Store"

That's what amazes me about the popularity of SOME headphones out there (b).

People ACTUALLY GET TO HEAR THEM before shelling out 300+ dollars for them......

And here I am willing to travel interstate just to demo some high-end headphones.

^I'm pretty sure I see lots of Audio Technica's in those too... Or maybe I'm just confusing seeing them on Japanese models, and animated characters/avatars.

...when you cosplay as an anime character to create a legitimate excuse to buy more headphones.

Should I get a K701 or Q701?
I plan to do a cosplay of Mio for an anime expo next year.
K701 = the original, but the Q701 = more modern and slightly refined sonically

You should post a pic of yourself when you get the headphone

Some cosplay nerds might freak out if it's not the K701 =0
But I doubt most people would really notice...

Just get the white Q701, and don't use the green cable. Most people won't notice. Plus, the Q701 is a a funner presentation than the K701.

You agonize over your decision to buy a source weeks after perusing every message board, review, etc. you can find, finally, making a decision and then agonize again when you see another post for a source different from your original choices.

Does the Q701 have a black cable? All of the videos/photos I've seen show a 10 ft. green cable and a ridiculously long 20 ft. green cable.
