    Also, consider what source you are using. Some headphones need more current than an iPod or iPhone can supply directly and will sound anemic.

    You have yet to contribute anything useful to the forum - every one of your posts is either illegible or has a random link dropped trying to get us to buy gear.

    Ulterior motive?

    Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. I thought the other posters were right in that there was a BOT posting.

    By the way, I guess I am clueless; what does "... you should wake up the next?" mean?

    If you don't need noise isolation, I highly recommend adding a pair of Grado headphones to your collection. I have the SR225i, which I love, but the SR80i and SR125i are also excellent. They have a very open sound stage but don't expect the over emphasized bass of the Beats by Dre (though the Mixr isn't too bad in this aspect).

    If you're only a headphone enthusiast.... yet I notice you don't own any Polk headphones or gear. Seems odd you'd come here. You're welcome to chat but still very odd.

    It's pretty obvious you are here to attempt to blend in, unlike spam bots, and link beats by dre products every chance you can.

    This makes it sound like you are getting paid to do so.

    So no, nguyendot is not Sherlock Holmes and neither am I but it is awfully suspicious.
