Westone 3's for 160 [http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001MBLBXQ/ref=gb1h_tit_c-3_8302_c3856b04?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_s=center-new-3&pf_rd_r=02CNF3J46TMX5HN151YP&pf_rd_i=20&pf_rd_p=1683538302/URL]

The headband squareness does seem to help with weight distribution and proper clamping and it is very light feeling and comfortable. It just looks ridiculous (refer to pic). My isolation test is go in bathroom, turn on fan, what does it sound like. Pretty good on my end.

Postie, the headband stretches out left to right about as wide as I have ever seen in a can, it's essentially horizontal and square like with the actual enclosures. My guess is the larger your head the more normal it looks like. Pointy heads like me plus bald equals ridiculousness. Comfort wise it's great, excellent weight distribution across the whole headband so it feels really light all across.

Leaning towards the spigen tough armor as well, as well as the glass screen protector. Thanks guys.

What are you guys using for a case and/or screen protector? My 5 has been naked for awhile (just a glass screen protector) and after seeing the wife shatter hers recently I should start getting serious about protecting it.

Thanks. The picture captures maybe 50% of its true ridiculousness. With my particular head shape it really looks like a square, the headband extends out that horizontally, similar to the way the akg1000 looks on most folks.

Review time! I picked these up last week as this is kind of the can I've been looking for awhile and tyll's review sold it for me. I had been using the vmoda m80's for the "portable but too lazy to put in IEM" scenarios but after awhile the fit was just weird and they really don't sound too good. I also wanted something that I could just play off the iPhone/iPad and would sound good with all sorts of random musical non audiophile crap. The bass is fantastic - deep, punchy, smooth and very clean. Everything else sounds great, the whole presentation is super engaging, with a polite but detailed treble that is non offensive and a really nice warm midrange. Surprised at how good the imaging is and the overall sense of left to right in the stage, not too forward and not too back, just a nice honest presentation. Even though it's a closed phone I don't really hear it as being closed in, it sounds quite open actually with a nice sense of air. These to me sound like punchier more dynamic senn 650's. Fit is nice, very comfy and the pads are just large enough on my large ears to actually be circumaural. The momentums probably wouldn't actually circumnavigate my ears. The way the headband sits on the head and the weight/pressure distribution of the whole set makes them feel extremely light. Biggest gripe is how freaking ugly these look on my head. Picture speaks a thousand words. This is the first can I actually am hesitant and would be embarrassed to wear in public. Yikes. To NAD's credit, it says right on the box they don't care about my lifestyle, they care about sound, to which i think they've succeeded.

Oppo headphones - legit. I would expect them to be reasonably priced and well built if anything like their universal players.

I would add that my only case of credit card fraud I ever experience involved newegg

Input and output transformer coupled solid state FTW

Killer with the DSHA-1

Congrats! Nice Facebook pics!

My respect for the hd800 and sennheiser just increased dramatically.

LOL. Yeah that seems to be the theme when one listens to a Doug amp for the 1st time.

Whoa tapatalk has a pretty nice interface

I could have swore koss has some cheap models that are actually somewhat decent, correct?

I remember my wife and I when we had Molly (our 1st) we were adamant about not using a pacifier. That last a few hours

I assure the community that I am a decent father who tries to engage his kids without resorting to electronic toys. I am simply wanting to keep Molly occupied during a long flight in respect to other passengers.

So we are going to San Diego for vacation Saturday and it will be Molly's first airplane. Which means we need distractions. I've got some Disney classics and some kids tunes loaded up on the iPad, which means headphones. She turns 3 in August. They need to be comfy enough where she won't mess with them, small enough to fit a 3 year olds head, and cheap enough where I won't sweat it when she break them. Go.

Z is short for impedance.

My DSHA has a switch to go back and forth and truly its not that big of a difference IMO. You get more volume on the high output obviously but otherwise low output is fine. If anything you could argue the low output is better equipped to handle the wild impedance swings. I find the hd800 issue in terms of driving it to be less about output impedance or voltage:current and more about quality and linearity of the amp itself.

It was pretty cool. None of the vendors checked your sample tokens, it was a straight drink as much as you want. Ska was fantastic. I have had their modus operandi but I had what I think was called vernal minthe and it was the most interesting beer of the night, a nice vanilla mint flavor but not sweet or overpowering whatsoever.

Danke.

Another fan of the hd800 dsha1 pairing. I definitely preferred it driven by the higher impedance output (Doug that's 50 ohms output into 300, correct?) i listened to tyll's modded version and it was great, but I never found the stock one that overly offensive either.
