Yay, new season of Fifth Gear is back. Should keep me occupied until TG is back on

I thought I'd throw in that I've also noticed there are two variations for bowl pads. The current ones are like the ones Tyll has pictured, but there are also older bowls that have slots cut around the hole like the flats. I'm not sure what effect this has on the sound (if any).

From what I understand, this is the case with the 727. Is it also just as simple on the 323?

Fixable or no?

How much worse is the battery life after doing this? I'm currently fetching every 30 mins but wouldn't mind if I could get emails faster.

The second episode of TGUS was pretty good... and the latest one (third) was alright. However, I thought the first one was terrible. I almost fell asleep watching it, even with the whole Viper chase segment.

I think it was the best DVD/special that Clarkson or Top Gear has ever put out. Top Gear Apocalypse came out this week... and that was just terrible. No Clarkson, boring as hell, and they were trying too hard to be funny.

If memory serves me right, I recall reading that the O2 MK1's had fragile drivers that tend to fail easily... which was then remedied by the not-as-good-sounding MK2? Reason I ask is I'm tempted by this FS: Stax Omega II mk1 - Head-Fi.org Community

Does the SR-202 have the same problem? I'm trying to decide between a used SR-202 kit right now, or splurging more for a used SR-404 kit. So which would you guys recommend... or neither?

Hey guys, I've got my mind set to get a set of Stax. Now I'll admit I haven't read through all of this thread, or the Stax thread at the other place... but just how bad is that upper midrange peak that the SR-404 has? Worse than the peak Grados have?

I don't think a pair with a serial #, from 2004-2006, would have pink drivers. My pair is from 2001 (around the time of 9/11, it even came with the apology letter signed by John), with no serial #, and they had already started using white drivers. Kind of unlikely that Grado would have pink drivers left over 3-5 yrs later.

HF-2 B Stock! - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio B-stock HF2's... I wonder what they look like

Thats really interesting because the ESW9 is a seriously sexy can. On what level (sound-wise) are they, or what other cans are they comparable to?

So how do you guys feel about the AD2000? (serious question here )

Using them with the stock bowls since I've heard that flats make the bass even more pronounced and muddy

Hey guys, I ended up stretching my budget (by a loooooooooooot) and got a pair of HF-2's, which most seem to enjoy. However, my initial impressions are that I don't like them as much as I thought I would. There seems to be way too much midbass, and not nearly enough highs for a John Grado headphone. Now I had already sort of read about them having a lot of midbass, but I didn't think there would be THIS much. They aren't that detailed either... Should I maybe find someone with a pair of RS1's to trade with? Anyways, let me whore a pic.

Is it just me or did Clarkson call the CR-Z a "CRV" in the last ep

I didnt know about this DVD, getting it now thanks! On the topic of how crappy season 14 has been, heres a blog post by producer Andy Wilman about it (those who are into TG would have seen this already) Series 14: where we’re at Transmission – BBC Top Gear

Hey guys, I briefly tried a pair of ESW10JPN's recently. Is it representative of the AT sound? It sounded very.... weird to me

And what other headphones have you had?

So from what I can gather, they have overwhelming bass, and piercing highs... it sounds like they are a German version of Skullcandy or Dre Beats. Maybe I should get a pair of those instead What I really dont get is if they are THAT bad, why do so many people on HF love them? Are they just a bunch of sheep that dont know better?

Hey guys, I'm new here... and I know you guys dont typically like Ultrasones so please dont shoot me So I've been thinking about getting a full sized pair of headphones for use at home again, and have been tempted by the Ultrasone Pro 900. For some reason, people seem to like em over at HF, but I wanted a second (more trustworthy) opinion. I've read these have a lot of bass, and U-shaped FR. This seems like a good thing to me because I tend to listen a very, very low volumes, and I am somewhat of a basshead. The price for these arent that bad either since they can easily be found new at $200 less than MRSP, and used at around 300 or so. But I'm still unsure with all this deal about Ultrasones having plasticy highs, no midrange at all etc. I'm not really looking for an "accurate" headphone, but am looking to spend $200-$300 dollars (probably going to buy used), so if you have better recommedations, let me know. I'll be using them most at home out of Laptop -> RSA Predator (yeah yeah, I originally wanted a PICO but came across the Predator at a decent price). Isolation is not really needed. To give you an idea of what phones I like/dislike... I've been spending a lot of time with a borrowed SR325is and really like them (and the Grado sound in general), but I want something better, that isnt so heavy. I was set on getting a pair of RS1's for the longest time, but they are still pretty expensive used. I really enjoy the Yuin PK1's I have I dont really like the Westone UM3X I have I like the Senn IE8's I used to have Ive owned a pair of Senn HD555 before and hated them because they sounded like mud So what should I do? Sorry if reading that was a complete waste of time for you, heres something else for your entertainment...
