So SDIFox, you're an audiophile? Got any good headphone recommendations in the 2-$300 range? I don't have the money right now but I've been meaning to pickup a good pair at some point for over a year now. I've been looking at both Beyerdynamic and EKGs in this range but I don't know my audio stuff very well. These will probably require a mic AMP so I might also get an Auzentech or Asus sound card with built in amp. This won't be for quite a while yet though.


the DT770 I got don't need amps. I am partial to Sennheisers.




Senn 595 should be driven with an amp

so should the 600

Get a job first.


And don't bother with an upgraded soundcard, just get an external headphone amp.

Rumor is getting stronger that Benz E, Infiniti G, and Infiniti M will be sharing a lot of tech.

No thanks!

Infiniti already has an extremely reliable car, a platform that barely trails the 3 series, wonderful motors... there's nothing positive about this deal unless Benz just hands them a ton of cash.

The best thing you can say for Benz is their AMG biturbo motors, and those don't go in the G, only the M might use them.

Some fucking cable vendor tried to tell me they magically aligned the crystalline structure in their copper cable...

oh, you can buy shiny sticker that will somehow make your CD sound better because it improves playback the environment... They offered to send a sample and I agreed. I will never turn down a chance to waste idiots' money.

Lol yeah that's why I'm not getting them now. Though it hasn't stopped me from getting a bunch of games I want. Actually going to see a shrink first. :p

Yes the DT770s are the ones I was looking at at one point.

Can't really blame them though. That's where they make all their money and the company REALLY pushes them to sell them. Most of them know it's a scam as much as you do. Just be glad you're an informed consumer and laugh at them.

I like the DT770s. Quite comfy and sound pretty good. I got them when they were like 120 or something like that.
