Headphones

A friend gave me this cool t-shirt. It's a patent drawing of a Jensen headphone from the late fifties/sixties. A little before my time. Did anybody know the story of these things? We're they an innovation? Did they ever amount to anything?

So recently i have been trying to find a headphone that is within my budget of (Below $80) i've done some research and found some headphones that might be right for me. I use headphones mainly for enjoying music and playing games. I currently have the Philips SHP805 and I enjoy the quality that this headphone provides me, but now I’m looking for better headphones. I'm not a hardcore gamer and just need a headphone that when I’m playing first person shooter games i could hear where the footsteps are clearly. Sound Quality is what matters to me at most. Sorry I'm completely new to buying headphones. Thank You! Here's a list of headphones i think are the best f…

After some suggestions and requests I decided to listen to the same set of songs, but with the different pads on the MS2i and HF-1s. Right now I'm enjoying the MS2is with flats, but I do like the detail that the bowls provide. Overall the HF-1s are in the middle of the two MS2is with the different pads (bowls and flats). It was fun doing this comparison. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and insights. It is much appreciated. Equipment Denon 2900 - DAC1 - PPX3 SLAM - MS2i Playlist: 1.

So my Alessandro's are on majorrrr back order and I won't be getting those for awhile and my ears are curious about the ATH sound. Are there any entry level Audio Technicas that you would recommend to see if I would like their sound or not? Nothing expensive and I'd want to be able to have the ability to return them if I have to. Any suggestions?

I was leafing through some mags at the central library a few days ago when I saw a headphone review in one of the British mags. I had my camera with me so I snapped pictures of the more interesting reviews; these being the Ultrasone 750, Denon D5000, and Grado RS-2. Download, enjoy, have fun.

If you are looking for one here is the link, but he wouldnt ship outside of US, at least to Europe, where I am located Grado RS-1 Headphones, MINT! in box with amp! L@@K! - eBay (item 220376557265 end time Mar-18-09 17:46:54 PDT)

So, here I am in Singapore a few months removed from a purchase of SR-009's and an epiphany and visit to Spritzer's pad, and here I go buying a pair of Abyss. Now it may be the $1000 Macallan with the goddaman Vicodins, but these fuckers actually sound good - really good - now I could use some conventional amp advice. My prototype Krell is still sounding the best. Thinking of the Moon - talk to me before I spend again...............
