I talked to Gunter Weidemann at CES (beyer's cheif designer) and he mentioned that they changed the foam in the earpads. I had significant difficulty getting them to seal and deliver bass when I measured them because the previous earpar cushioning material was a bit stiff.
Also, I'm a big dissbeliever in the idea that headphone makers have "house sounds" as a general rule. Most makers don't have the technical chops and control of the end product's sound to target a particular response. There are exceptions to the rule, IMHO, however.
Grado has a house sound, but only because they take zero risk in developing new product. Adding an "i" and fat cables doesn't constitute product development, I reckon.
AT is pretty consistently fast and thin sounding.
It seems to me the beyer does to some extent, with a little warmer sound than AT. I think Gunter is a good engineer and can hit his target fairly well, but I think he does set his target a bit too far on the bright side. I don't quite know why.
If Sennheiser has a house sound, it's right down the middle, but just like everyone else, they miss the mark and wobble around thier some. For example, the 650 is a bit too warm, and the 800 is a bit too thin.
I'm going to need to spend moar time with the T1 before I call it overpriced, but I'd rather listen to a T1 than an 800, but I'd take an LCD2 over both.

Even go want moar far!?
Sweet!

I've got the Droid Incredible, a moderately large phone, and I like its size. I even wish it was a tiny bit bigger...typing on it sux even though I find the keyboarding more accurate than my iTouch. My though has always been that I want a display as big as possible, but still comfortable fits in a front pants pocket.

I'd still rather have a root canal than use iTunes.
FTMFW. Limited convergence sucks.
Posting at 4:20 and with moar beer, finally.

the iPod was successful because it worked better than any other mp3 player.
The iPod was sucessful because Steve knew you just wanted magic picutures in your hand.
Edit: sorry, the iTouc and phone were. The ipod was successful because he knew people wanted magic access to their music.

^^^ This.
Once you've got screens that do everything that fit in your pocket,sit on your desk, and a tablet thingy to fulfil your geekly desires (and we're getting there), it's the services and interoperability that count. See the OP.

Hm. Never thought about them doing that. Pretty tricky.

You rock, Bonnie.
The t-shirts are nothing, it's those death defying conversational skills that are really impressive.
But thanks for the shirts anyway.

Having started this thread, I think I should report that living in Appleland for the past few days on my macBook, iTouch, and iPad has been extreemely pleasurable.
Extreemely.

This thread makes me happy.
Oh, I have a simple little digital Tek scope and it's sweet for basic stuff.
I want one of these ... that disappears when I'm not using it.

Good grief! Those people must have a PR firm from hell; they've been all over the news on teh interwebs for about a week now.
Expensive, but they look good to me.

And yes, I realize deep bass is non-directional, but...aren't drivers designed for better dispersion etc. from the front -- they're not designed to have the optimal response from the backwave.
Phase might be 180 out, but since you're within a 1/2 wavelength I don't think dispersion is an issue. You're basically pressurizing the passenger compartment on and off at a controlled rate.
I think blowing a windshied or an eardrum out is the big issue.

use these challenger products in a public and friendly shoot-out. What's to lose?
Now there's a fucking idea: subjective listening test between all headphones endorsed by rappers.

Looks like Im gonna have my work cut out for me checking in on all these at CES.
Ill let you know how they sound.
Im actually encouraged by all this noise. Sorta like the joke that ends "with all this horse shit there has to be a pony in here somewhere." I can only hope that somewhere along the line these folks will actually have to start competing on the basis of something real ... say "sound quality." Now there's an idea!
I've been reading a lot of the news stories out there on this genre of cans, and the hatred for Monster and their approach to marketing headphones is stunning. Somewhere along the line there will be some backlash, and I'm hoping it will be in the form of exposing how wretched Monster cans sound, and how many better headphones there are out there.
For example: how cool would it be to find out the Sleek cans sound great and recommending them over Monsters might swing a lot of business in their direction. Putting Monsters marketing blitz results in some elses pockets,like Sleek, would give Sleek the money to RD better and better products.
To be truthful, I really hope Monster gets their shit together and uses their profits to improve the sound performance of their products. Doesnt seem very likely to me though.

Friggen drunk double post on the iPad.
Sorry.

... it doesn't suck.
Says the topologist.
i rest my case.

I think the LCD-2 is a fantastic headphone. It gets my top recommendation as a circumaural
Yup, this.
I think the lcd2 is THE story of the year 2010 for Headphondom.
Sorry, need some advice on music Macs rather quick.

A new job has me searching for a Mac solution for playing around with music gear. They want to submit some budget numbers tomorrow. Argh! Not really enough time to research shit.
I'm torn between a faster Mac laptop than I have and a DIY Linux music server, and just popping for a Mac Pro desktop.
I currently have an iTouch, iPad, and entry level MacBook, and a fairly new and fast Dell Windows 7 desktop.
My needs are:
I've got to be able to play with and evaluate virtually any digital media device. I won't be looking at bad-ass listening room servers (ie Sooloos) or professional audio editing stuff, but may be playing with most anything other hardware and software that might be called "personal media."
I need to be able to create media on the road (writing, photo editing in Photoshop, and video editing, probably in Premier. So I'll be running Adobe memory hogs on the road. I think the little MacBook may struggle with that stuff.
But I also might need to evaluate cards the slip into a Mac Pro ... though I really haven't seen much of that. Maybe it's not really an issue. I have a desire for a Mac Pro, but don't really know if I have a need.
Doing media production at home will be the bulk of the work I do, though, so it may be worth living on the MacBook on the road if I get significantly better performance on a Mac Pro when I'm home ... which will be 95% of the work I do. Also, the larger display make make my work at home all the more productive.
If I go with the MacBook Pro, I'll build up a Linux server on my own for cheap. That way, I'll also have access to a machine running Linux for some evaluations.
Questions:
Has anyone successfully run a network of Macs and Windows boxes that play well together?
Will I have to have duplicate music databases so the Mac and Window world don't collide all over my music collection?
I'm thinking I want a real server so that I can host various various streaming server apps. I'm worried the Linux will shut me out of most of the consumer level media home server apps that may come along. OTOH, I can always use my W7 box as a server for Windows services; and it's likely that a future purchase of a Mac Mini as a music server would cover my Apple services testing.
Bottom line: if you got a dream job playing with all sorts of personal and computer audio gear and your boss says, "tell me what you need ... not want" what would you say?
BTW, software is also an issue, but I'm thinking I'll just go with the Adobe stuff. Most of the audio software I'll just get in as samples, so I'm more interested in software I might need for testing or work purposes, as opposed to the music playing software itself.
TIA!
