got these in today from skullcandy ebay for $20. You haven't heard music until you heard them on headphones with dedicated subwoofers! np: Koan sound: sly fox w/ subwoofer headphones! :P |

Koan Sound is great. The mastering makes it very listenable. |

well, through years of knowing of them, I have to say that skullcandy headphones (except the cheapest of the in-ears) suck royal ass. I even worked at a store where people kept returning them because they broke so easily. The sound is also so-so - I like the cheap in-ears, cause you get quite good drivers for the money. The sound suits me fine for everyday mp3-playing. One tip though; wrap tape around the chord right by the jack - 70% of the returns we got was when only one speaker would play, and in all cases it had to do with the lack of quality on the chord. The inside of the chords rip loose if you wriggle it around too much - something that tend to happen when walking around with your player in your pocket. When they break (and yes, they will) you will like to go out and buy a pair of Creative Aurvana Live. The bass and stereo spectra in those are out-of-this-world for the price. They have blown even my studio-grade Sony MDR-7506 out of the water, and they can be found around $50. Question: Does your headphones buzz in the background when no music is coming through? if so; that's the subwoofers. Even the ludicrous priced Beats Audio with subs does that. |

after seeing sony MDR's in just about every video/photo of professional studios, i bought those. they're a bit harsh, but quite precise. for more visceral listening i bought sennheiser HD280pro's. i rarely use them any more unless i'm out of the house. in the house, i have adam a7 + sub8 monitor setup |

euch, skullcandy's suck ass - all mid-range and high-end tin, "dedicated subwoofer" or no buy some sennheisers for actual quality cans/phones. i've got the ie7's and they make bass music sound sublime - even frequency response down to ~19 Hz with those puppies remember kids, bass music is about quality of bass, not quantity. i've got an 8" x-sub from av123 that sounds better than friend's systems with 15" subs because mine is well made and properly placed in the room. the same goes for phones - you want something with clear, present bass, not overwhelming whomp like beats or i assume these subwoofer-enhanced skullcandys. |

i don't think anyone winds up being an expert in monitors unless they're rich or a professional audio engineer, and i am neither. my local store didn't have much to try out. so, i bought the A7's because a friend was gushing over them. they sound fantastic to me, but no idea how they compare to tannoy or yamaha or whatever. they're definitely in "ten year" territory, though -- last set of speakers i'll need for ten years or so. can't get much better without paying thousands of dollars. the sub8 is overkill (i keep it most of the way down!) but i ordered just the A7's at first, and felt they needed a bit of help. you're probably fine without them, though. |
