the SONY line of "Digital Reference" headphones are rather spectacular, and range from $30 US all the way up to $700! The latter of which being a set constructed from super-resonant plastic casing.... and get this.... Biologically GROWN diaphragms!! I am using a set of MDR-CD570's right now - retail for about $100 US, and have absolutely NO complaints about them. Can wear the suckers all day and not ever get the 'head-pings'! They sound terrific too... I've been picking up on subtleties that I never thought existed! -Gropo 209.6.182.146 http://www.gropo.com MP3 RadioCast: http://216.32.166.75:8774 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Yea- I write all of my songs using the MDR-V900's right now and I love them.. I had the 600's before I got the 900's and they were great too... I definitely recommend these headphones. -- :: atomly :: atomly@atomly.com | atomly@atdot.org | atomly@cyrus.net http://www.atomly.com | http://www.mp3.com/atomly [CELL|(888)522.3830] | [CELL|(701)729.1631] | [HOME|(612)676.1817] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

my personal favorite is the sony MDR-F1. i spent several trips to a local hi-end audio store to A-B them against the other sony models as well as koss, steinheiser, and a number others. they are open aired and look a lot like broadcast headphones from era's gone by. i can't find them on sony's website, and i believe they may be being discontinued and are a bit pricy, but they are amazing true reference headphones (unlike the sony's 7506 or the 600 which colour the sound a lot, esp on the low end.) the only other ones that i found close where the higher end steinheisers. i sat on the fence for a while about which i liked better; the sony's seemed to be a better reference - important for the studio - and the steinheiser was a bit better for simply listening to music with your cd player or whatnot. this was in large part due to the design of the headphones rather then the sound. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

While talking about headphones, is there anyone who knows some closed or sealed phones that can be used both for reference and DJ purposes? Not too pricey, I can give $100 but not much more... /JOHAN --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
