Headphones

Just came today, which is nice cause I just scraped like half my knee off. Anyway, my first impressions are, believe it or not, it sounds kind of like an uber KSC35, if you can imagine that. If you didn't know, this was made by AKG awhile ago (sometime in the 80s I think), and has two drivers in each cup for a total of 4 drivers.

Does anyone have experience with balanced RS-1's? What improvements have you heard vs single-ended rs-1's?

I really just want to hear these, there's been so much frustration for me revolving around them, and I've never even heard them. It seems every time I try to get to a meet where they'll be I manage to be forced to miss out, so if anyone could give me a loan I'd be really greatful. I'll pay shipping etc both ways if necessary. Thanks!

So even though i wanted to get RS-1's, I didn't really want to get rid of my HF-1's. I came across some Darth Beyers today, and couldn't resist. They'll be my priciest cans to date... Sometimes, hobbies can be dangerous. To get the goahead for the purchase, I had to promise to not complain about the amount my fiancee spends when we go clothes shopping this week. What have I gotten myself into ladies and gents, WHAT!?!?... Oh well, a nice big box in the mail later this week will make everything better... **BRENT**

After hearing the 701s over the weekend, I'm interested if anyone has heard the K601s for comparison - anyone run into these?

ok my new senn 650s certainly do not sound the same as my old pair. same zu mobius balanced, same woodies. much less bass...more treble. burn in? new pads? or is that the wolff tuning pads?

I was wondering how headphone users like their bass impact. I.e how much you feel when a bass note is played.

How many of you have heard the new 701? I am liking this phone more and more. I think my beloved senn 600's could soon be #2. \ I cant get over how this headphone doesnt seem to have any noticeable flaws. Every phone I have heard to this point has had something I could identify as lacking. The 701 isnt an exciting phone but it just does everything well ..... and its so comfy. What do you think? See you in Cinci.

Hi folks, I'm new here. I was wondering if anyone had good advice on a portable phone that is resilient in artic temps? I'm in Canada, use an iPod and want something better than the iduds, but the phones have to fit under my toque, so KSC 35's and anything larger are out. I own Ety 4p's but I can't have the isolation while walking.
