Will do, but it says they're sold directly by Amazon and not a third party so I doubt that they're fakes.  In reading the Deals thread, some are speculating that there was a mixup and this price is for the pads only.  I guess we'll see what happens, but at $30 I'd say that this is more than...

...well, I'm certainly happy that I chose to drop by tonight.  $30 for a backup pair?  I can dig it.   Here's hoping that everyone's orders go through and these wonderful headphones finally achieve the level of recognition that they deserve.  

...when was the last time I posted here?  May?   Despite the 250ohm impedance, I have been using my DT250 sans power amp for the past few months.  Even with my scaled down Audirvana Plus -> AQ Dragonfly setup these Beyers are still the cat's pajamas!  Scale and dynamics are somewhat...

It has now been approximately six months since I've purchased the DT250-250.   Gripes: Null Desire to Upgrade: Null   This is a truly brilliant headphone. 

Quote:   I haven't read any reviews on it, but the (coiled) cable is certainly more hefty than average.  To call it "uncomfortably large" would be an exaggeration, however.  I use them exclusively for at-home listening and haven't experienced any notable discomfort.

There surely isn't just one answer, but there is a best one: Beyerdynamic DT250. (250ohm version)   My last post: January 7th.  After cycling through a few dozen headphones I've had no reason to further my research after finding this one.  It's like an HD600 with more intimacy.

Quote:   For a lossy stream, I found Spotify to do a serviceable job from both a quality and convenience standpoint.  The only reason why they didn't retain me as a subscriber for a second month is due to what I considered to be an extremely constrained library. (that, along with some...

I paid $150 for my DT250-250 and would've gladly paid more.  When ran through a quality source and amplified correctly, I really can't imagine a more natural closed-headphone listening experience.  I would've purchased a "backup" (or two) this morning but the deal was restricted to Canada.  ...

Quote:   What I'd like to know is when, exactly, Michael Gira transitioned from being No Wave fringe to indie darling.  Perhaps I was just in the wrong circles, but Swans never seemed to be all that popular pre-hiatus.

Quote:   Same here!    ...well, that and it always warms my heart to see the arts celebrated.

Quote:   When it comes to P4k, it's always "hip to be square." ;)   Attempting to appreciate individual songs/singles is something that I made a genuine effort to do earlier this year.  I made a return to Pandora after a several year hiatus, checked out recommended stuff on...

...done!  This limiting to 50 thing just feels right.    *For any albums that were released in multiple versions, assume that I'm citing the standard edition. (i.e. no bonus track/remix nonsense)*     50. Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel... 49. Dark Time Sunshine - ANX 48. Leonard...

EDIT: double post

Quote:   Advice from a fellow D-Fly owner: pair a dedicated amp with the DT250-250.  Running directly out of the AQ isn't necessarily bad, but you'll be missing quite a lot.  Volume level is more than adequate, but the overall presentation comparatively leans toward loose/indistinct/thin...
