I listen to almost all music. I listen to classical, metal, rock, hip-hop, electronic music of all types, blahblahblah gaming blahblah. My current headphones are AKG 460, which don't sound terrible (to me), but they're in the process of breaking. One of the wires snapped inside and now sound sometimes stops coming out of the left ear. Also, I wanna say I don't care about form, but I do. Anything that doesn't look hideous is fine. | ||

In general between M50 and DT 770 I'd choose the 770 because it's larger and more comfortable. Since you don't need all the isolation, also ATH-A900 (you mentioned A700 earlier but A900 is also in budget). | ||

I'm going to take it I should keep my remaining $120 and save it for either a better set of headphones or an amp/DAC that could be used in the long run. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/cWZTY.jpg) Out of the box I absolutely hated the sound, very muffled highs and shouty mids. Got them second hand from HeadFi S/T, the burn-in was already done so I was really disappointed. on top of that I couldnt get a good fit with any of the million silicon tips I had in stock. Found the perfect fit with reversed comply Ts-400s. great seal, great confort. I also found out that those IEMs are notorious for responding extremely well to EQ, so I EQ'd. Toned down the mids a bit around 1kHz and upped highs and lows in a "funnel" fashion. They turned in a different beast altogether. The bass is massive but always tight and well controlled (I thought my EPH-100 had a nice bass but they get shattered both in quality and quantity), treble is excellent, vocals are excellent, the level of clarity and the instrument separation are amazing (they were already pre-EQ). Basically everything I throw at them sounds incredible. Bonus: the cable is one of the best I have ever seen and due to their "custom-like" design they dont move a millimeter in my ear while moving. I wanted to give some hearing time to my recently arrived Q701/M-Stage combo this week but they will have to wait. | ||

Did you end up getting them? If not you should really check those out beforehand: Vsonics GR07 (forget about it if bass is very important to you) Yamaha EPH100 JVC FXT90 Those are the kings of the $~150 price range. | ||

It's also really hard to get a demo set with such a new product...guess I'll have to wait for reviews of the filtered version. Yeah I understand the polarization as I'm myself a little conflicted. Technically they seem to punch way above their price but the required EQing means no good portability (for me) as EQ on my iTouch sounds awful, theres some distortion and a "veil" on the sound that I could reduce greatly on my laptop but is still way audible there. I also lack a top-tier universal to draw a good comparison, I heard the SM3 but it was quite a few months ago, Ill try to get them back. I'm thinking about ordering the JVC FX700 and keeping the winner to my ears + the GR07. btw this is what aural conflict looks like: (M50s not pictured) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1GKe7.jpg) | ||

I'm replacing Apple standard in ear headphones so any upgrade will probably be better haha. I noticed the AHNC800's are the same price. I've heared good things about them(the Denon's). I hanvn't tried them myself but from what i've read they are quite bassy. So if you like bass i would recommend you trying them out. Dont just blindly buy something off the internet. Go to a store and listen to them and compare them to other cans. | ||

It's the most recommended closed headphone at around that price. If you're using at the home or office, then it does a fantastic job. It doesn't isolate very well (still better than open) so commuting with them is probably out of the question. If you look back a page, you'll notice that Flicky just bought them. The time you spent typing that post could have been put into a google search. | ||

My source is my desktop, which doesn't have a dedicated sound card (it's just whatever came with the motherboard). It shouldn't cause too much trouble, right? Also thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to take it I should keep my remaining $120 and save it for either a better set of headphones or an amp/DAC that could be used in the long run. They'll work great =) Have them myself. | ||

I have an aviation headset, it's a 5DX by Flightcom. I was wondering if it could be possible to use it in my computer with an adapter of some sort, as aviation headsets have a bigger kind of jack than normal headphones. I googled a bit and apparently adapters exist. They cost between 30$ and 45$ apparently. The headset itself cost somewhere around 180€. Does anyone have experience using aviation headsets for music and/or gaming? The headset I have cost twice as much as the headphones I have at the moment, I'm guessing the quality could be really good? It might be a bit weird considering it wasn't made for playing music. The other thing that's nice is that it has a mic (except the mic's jack is also bigger than standard). So I was wondering if it's worth putting in 30 or 40€ into an adapter or if I should just save my money and buy a standard headphone instead. So yeah worth it? Here's a .pdf of the manual, maybe there's relevant information in it: http://www.flightcom.net/pdf/5dx_manual_new.pdf | ||
