They're going from Canada to North Carolina and skipping right past me this time (presumably because it's Thanksgiving week), unfortunately. And I'm getting too old to be driving 4.5 hours each way to North Carolina. Although I do like what I heard of theirs.

Happy birthday, Donny...er...dadgum autocorrect...Dinny. (party favour noise)

Try searching on Emily Haines American Dream.

Did you have the new one or the old one? I presume since you've had it a while, and since they are referred to as "new" and "old" on Amazon, that you had the "old style". Old: New: Regarding indestructibility, the DT770s are, indeed, built like tanks. I've abused the snot out of them, and they've never broken. I think that's one of the things that makes them a studio staple. The HD600s, if I recall correctly, have a metal strip through the band, so are therefore that little bit less prone to being broken. The Sony MDR-V6/-7506 needed to be treated a little better (that either of the above), because they had so many joints so they could be folded together, but I think most people know that and therefore treat them with a little more respect. I think it's a fair question to ask how sturdy it is, although I'm not going to base my opinion on one data point. So since you own one, what sort of power demands does it require? I know the HD600s scale like mad -- the better you feed them, the better they sound -- and the above-mentioned Sony headphones hardly scale at all -- they sound pretty much the same no matter what you feed them, unless the amp can't handle lower impedance phones. And how would you characterize it? Is it a studio headphone, "accurate", or a home high-fi phone, "euphonic-ish". Bass-heavy? Scooped? Bright? Veiled? etc. I looked at the frequency response, but I prefer subjective impressions. The DT770 are notoriously bass-heavy headphones, but with sufficient power, it can be controlled and deep. It does have a slight etch to it which I at one time got used to because I listened on the Creek OBH-11SE, a FET-based headphone amp, and later on tubes, and both those amps helped ameliorate the etch.

Why would you want to bypass that ES9218 Quad DAC? It’s one of the best in the business—for a smart phone, anyway—and the reason I bought the phone myself. Tell that someone to shut their mouthhole.

Interesting. That’s on par with the DT770, yet first I heard of it. (wanders off to research the HD280 pro...)

One of the heaviest albums I know. Raw, powerful, dirgey. Music for end times. Recommended tracks: "Bridges" and the title track. Right up there with Giant Squid's Metridium Fields.

But does it isolate as well? The DT770 is one of the most isolating headphones I know, and that's another reason for my interest. (wanders off to research the T51P)

Besides being over double in price, I found out that they include new Tesla drivers, so I'm definitely going to be getting a pair of these to try. Anyone else got these, heard these, or are interested in these?

pink butcher paper Now everyone can be a fairy! Alright, maybe it takes a little more skill than that, but someone who already has that skill can be elevated to fairy status.

Listening to this and his back catalogue on Tidal— melikey, thanks for the intro.

Deepest condolences to you (both you and Bonnie).

That's not exclusive to iPhones -- that's what happened to my Samsung a couple months ago. I think my phone was hacked.

Yeah, I like smooth, pleasant, unoffensive, so will give it a try. Thanks!

Actually, that's nowhere near Lancaster, PA. Zoom out on the map, it's in the middle of nowhere Southwest of DC by a bit. Also, kidding, because I'm not 12. I might've been last night, though. 0.12% BAC, that is. Alright, nowhere near, but I regress when inebriated.

I should probably update the iTouch, see how it does.
