    V-Moda Crossfade 1 vs V-Moda M-100

    Is there any acoustic difference between the two? I see that the M-100 is $100 more expensive than Crossfade 1 while the former is just foldable and dual inputs while the latter is basically just wireless(can be wired as well) and without those 2 extra features. And would it be safe for me to...

    Headphones like the audeze lcd2 but more lighter??

    So i just went to my local store and tried the audeze lcd2 and I really liked it. However the huge turn off for me was that it was really heavy. I usually use my headphones ALOT and after using the LCD2 for a few like 10-15 minutes my neck was starting to sore. Unless I start taking roids and...

    AXPONA: Headphones, Headphones, Headphones!

    This was one of the best headphone shows I have seen as an adjunct to the high-end show. One could spend a couple of days listening to all that was there. Alas, I am not a fan of putting headphones on that have been on heads of hundreds of people so I did not do that :). I was shopping for...
