Hum, I see. Those beyers are very fine indeed. At first, people who don't have trained ears might not listen easily to differences between headphones. But don't tell me that even untrained ears can't tell the difference between, let's say, a K701 and a XB700 :) Bumped frequencies on opposite ends, impossible to think they're the same.
My point is that people who really like music, and audio in general, should do research before buying the first thing that might look good based on clever advertising. You know that the best brands are seldom advertised. And someone with enough money to get beats can spend half the money on a better pair and the other half on a head amp, and be much better served, right? But what entry headphones do you consider as recommendable to the members of our group? I'm talking about entry level here, not head-fi entry level, which might sound strange to say so, but it's true :) I already spoke of the JVC HARX700. Perhaps Sony XB500 and Shure SRH440? Oh, and I'm glad you didn't get hung over. Nowadays it's rare to have one, but when they hit, they hit hard :) On 23 Abr, 10:42, lolattheotherguy <[email protected]> wrote: > don't worry guys i almost never have a hungover. so, my dt990 looks > like this:http://assets.head-fi.org/e/e9/e99b8013_img0914myj.jpg > i only changed the ear cushions becouse i think this model is from > like the '80s and it was pretty much like "used" when i got it. > oh and tribal, there is absolutly no way you can save ppl from buying > products like beats or anything like that.
