. For some people (me included) this is more comfortable, since the canal isn't pointing away from your ears. But it's a matter of preference.
Theoretically you can wear them with the cord straight down instead of over the ear, but they won't hold in your ear very long because of the weight of the speaker plus the force being applied directly to it instead of on the ear.


Ohhh. Ok thanks. Reading some of the reviews from Amazon people have said they've had some cable issues and had to have them replaced 2 or 3 times in a year. What is your guys opinion on the durability of those earbuds?

I think they're quite durable.


I went ahead and made the dive into the headhpones. Thanks for your help! I'll have em on Tuesday!!

Tried the Bowers & Wilkins P5's Tyll from Innerfidelity praised them as great portables, well, not my cup of tea. Not for 350 CAD. Photo included.

I was about to ask the same thing. It seemed like a bunch of marketing hype for a set of cheap headphones but then I saw the price tag of $200+. O.o
Why would someone pay so much for this brand when they can get a set of respectable Seinheisers instead?

Personal preference really
And it depends on the headphones as well

You tune it to what you want to hear :>

I've been using my new Sennheiser HD598 for a little over 2 weeks now and all I can say is I love them. Def recommend them to anyone that listens to a lot of music as well as for gaming. Got them for 180 off Amazon.


Ive been using a pair since february and I love mine also. The only problem I have is the leather cracking along with one of the plastic pieces connecting the headphones to the headband, but they're under warranty so I think I can get them repaired/replaced fairly easily. They sound amazing, but I havent been able to try them with an amp yet which I hear helps a ton.

Price range? With or without a DAC?

Under 50$, I don't even know what a DAC is.

Mostly just looking for something to help drive the phones for portable use.

A DAC is a digital to analog converter, pretty much takes the information from your portable device and converts it into analog signal.

The FiiO E7 ($88 on Amazon right now) goes sometimes on sale and can be attained for around $50 (Amp/Dac)

Theres Fiio E6 (amp only) for around 20-30 and you can buy LOD (line out cable) if you use a iPod/iPhone for 5-10.

There's Pocket Amp 2 - Version 2 (PA2V2) Canadian made nice little amp, awesome value, the guy makes them himself. (around 50)

Unless you are a person that goes for looks instead of music, this is not a great headphone for the price.

Looks? They look.. well they are - cheap plastic. What kind of looks are you talking about, I always smile when I see someone in freaking beats.

beats/skull candies/bose = all in the same category pretty much... they're all overpriced...

The beats pro (the 500$+ ones) actually have decent audio quality. It's quite good. If you love bass instead of neutrality they really are a good headphone. But most people who love high-end audio like neutrality. Also they still are extremely overpriced. You could get a different pair of cans for less than half that have much better sound quality, and even the same sound signature.

That said I've been using Re0's and RE 1's from head-direct for years and my re 0's recently lost sound to one side so I've decided to get some denon 1100's. Get them on monday, can't wait.

I just wish there was a way to take my 701's everywhere I go

They're relatively good compared to cans half their price. But around their price point? Lolno.

Also, I picked up a Fiio E10 to power my Beyer DT770-80 from my PC, looking forward to it. The Beyers sound better on my Zune30 (unamped) than on my PC, so this should work out well.
