Faileas 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2010 I go by geek in most places, but i'd think its pretencious, so i go by faileas in most places (not fail lah, its scots gaelic. picked it out of a dictionary cause it means shadow, and shadow was taken, and i was like 'augggg...' and picked a random language to translate). I have to admit, i'm not really an audiophile- my equipment is very the... humble compared to many here (until last week, a sennheiser eh150 that was falling apart - i got a Audiotechnica ATH-M50 (eh.. listened to one, fell in love with the sound. on hindsite, should have tried a few more *g*), a mbox used for a home recording studio (mom does indian classical singing), laptop(IBM r61 + foobar2000 or amarok (on linux and an ipod (sound quality isn't great, but i like the space ;p). I also have a Hd202, but it sounds kinda bad compared to the other two i mentioned, though if i can be bothered to burn it in, it might be almost acceptable I'm a wee bit cursed with good hearing so.. i suspect i'll be doing minor improvements when i can. I'm currently itchy to see if i can get a sub 100 dollar headphone amp. (no i'm not an addict yet! or that's what they all say.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dragonboy Report post Posted May 9, 2010 the modest ATH-M50 used to be one of my favorite headphones... I'll say it's still the BEST, IMHO, at that price range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpribadi 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2010 ATH-M50 is also one of my favorite headphones You may try the following SGD 7.- modification for some space improvement: http://www.sgheadphones.net/index.php?showtopic=10924 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faileas 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) While i *have* done fixes (instructables got one jack replacement howto i did ;p), i generally prefer to wait till something breaks >_>.I'm not so confident in my DIY skills to open up worky things, if borken things fixed, less heartbreak and heartattack . My main issue right now is the crapload of 128 kbps cbr mp3s i have (back when i was still using stock mp3 player headphones ...), and the ipod needing an amp (got most of the parts for a cmoy. need to build though >_>)- since the same stuff sounds better on my laptop.

davesanridge 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 I used to have a pair of ATH-M40fs headphones and they were pretty good. They really hurt your ears though after a while. Snap! I've also got an mbox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
