Review time! I picked these up last week as this is kind of the can I've been looking for awhile and tyll's review sold it for me. I had been using the vmoda m80's for the "portable but too lazy to put in IEM" scenarios but after awhile the fit was just weird and they really don't sound too good. I also wanted something that I could just play off the iPhone/iPad and would sound good with all sorts of random musical non audiophile crap. The bass is fantastic - deep, punchy, smooth and very clean. Everything else sounds great, the whole presentation is super engaging, with a polite but detailed treble that is non offensive and a really nice warm midrange. Surprised at how good the imaging is and the overall sense of left to right in the stage, not too forward and not too back, just a nice honest presentation. Even though it's a closed phone I don't really hear it as being closed in, it sounds quite open actually with a nice sense of air. These to me sound like punchier more dynamic senn 650's. Fit is nice, very comfy and the pads are just large enough on my large ears to actually be circumaural. The momentums probably wouldn't actually circumnavigate my ears. The way the headband sits on the head and the weight/pressure distribution of the whole set makes them feel extremely light. Biggest gripe is how freaking ugly these look on my head. Picture speaks a thousand words. This is the first can I actually am hesitant and would be embarrassed to wear in public. Yikes. To NAD's credit, it says right on the box they don't care about my lifestyle, they care about sound, to which i think they've succeeded.

Rode my longest solo ride ever today: 52.1 miles. That puts me over 3,000 miles this year

It is not so much that they are discontinued, as that they were not recontinued. The idea is the come up with a design that I like, make a small run, sell them, and move on to something else. There are so many circuits to explore that doing the same thing over and over is just not that interesting. For what it's worth, I just ordered a run of transformers from Cinemag that should be here some time in late January. Hopefully completed amps will follow not too long after that.

Brent REALLY likes holiday music!

The music stand covers your instrument, so instead of playing it you seem to have your right hand on your crotch

No, needs more caffeine. I really fell asleep watching it.

Bob Marley and the Wailers and now this

Hey, remember last week when I posted a picture of me sitting on a stage with a bunch of other people with instruments and stuff? Well, someone recorded some of it and put it on YouTube. I'm still the pixels 2nd row, just left of center, but I'm not the one playing the bad notes (in this video). Enjoy/cringe/ignore the Mid-South Concert Band along with the Scenic City Chorale playing "A Christmas Festival", with out of tune accompanying vocals by the audience. **BRENT**

U need amps http://www.rogueguitarshop.com/Matchless-C-30-30-Watt-Amplifier-With-Reverb-p/rgs-ml-c30.htm

The ADH Ring replacement will give it a much more relaxed presentation. Not jittery, and doesn't skip songs every 30 seconds or so......

Looks like they replaced everything but the headband

Did a night mountain biking ride which went fairly well aside from one tiny mistake: forgetting to bring the booties. Stream crossings in cold weather made for some very cold feet by the end of the ride

Noticed yesterday that Seiko recently added some SARB-like watches to its offerings, labelled SARG and SARX this time: http://www.seiyajapan.com/collections/seiko some really nice looking pieces there. I almost bought a SARB instead of CW, someday I'll pickup one of these Seikos. In particular I like the SARX015 and SARX017. SARX015: SARX017:

hi praer4life ,welcome to headcase. because of the koss esp950 setup through dac and setting with bias in which will affect another dac and the setting will become fixed. Thus this stats headphone will need another servicing that is why the cables will not tangled. For the E90, all you need is to wring and dry it for these setting and bias will not affect another dac in which will not be able to drive the earspeaker. Another issue is stax with e90 will not 404LE and O2, that will need to be rewired. I dont mind about swearing in which will serve you lunch and dinner where the songs will be ripped directly from the tonight show. I believe that anyone who owns HE60 or HE90 will have no switch to recable and increase the bias to another level which clarity will beat any dynamic headphone out there. Thank you are we talking now ? Once again, welcome to headcase, hope you enjoy your stay here
