My system is complete, but I could use the headphones.
I have Grado 125 that I use with my PC.

I auditioned about five in this price range. I bought these, these are the ones that I found myself dancing to the music.

david8866's picture

It looks so beautiful. I wish I will win this one. Thank you.

davechua88's picture

lucas911993's picture

Those would be perfect for work with the closed back. My cubies didn't appreciate hearing the limited frequency response of the open back of my AKG701s....

Hope They sound as good as they look.

Mind, I don't have a definition of jazz... You're just supposed to know it when you hear it.

Purkitbud's picture

Dude! Pay the heating bill! Wearing a scarf while listening to music. It must be really cold in your listening room or your trying to make a fashion statement!

Stephen Mejias's picture
I'm just demonstrating the portability of headphone listening.

bdiane34's picture

My entry to win these great headphones!! Thank you

rvance's picture

...to close the contest would be about now, increasing my chances forthwith!

tencendur's picture

still using a beat up pair of plantronics for the occasionally headphone listening, this would serve as great replacement.

Stereofoal's picture

I said it once, but I'll say it again, I want to win this contest.

Prole's picture

I'm in dire need of new headphones. My 25 year old AKG's just died.

deepaks131's picture

I had never heard of Phiaton before this.

What a smart sweepstake, I don't think I'll ever forget it now, especially if I win :).

bpollack's picture

I need headphones.

jaypederson@yahoo.com's picture

Has anyone ever noticed that in "The Camera Eye" on Rush-Moving Pictures, if you put on headphones and turn the volume up pretty high, that you can hear someone burp?? No lie. Go try it. I heard it for the first time when I was 13 in 1981 listening on headphones. And then, after that, someone says, "Who let [out?] that one?" You can hear it on floorstanders or any other speakers, but it seems clearer on headphones.

Saito's picture

I'm almost afraid of entering... these are a step up from the M50's I have now and everyone knows once you go up in quality anything less just isn't going to cut it :]

Happy listing to the bastards that win these cans :D

Icy56's picture

ooh i wanna win!!!!

fcling's picture

I was just looking for reviews, because I'm in dire need of a pair of headphones. These would be a definite step up. I bet they would block out the noise of the kids--serenity now!

jacobsilberberg's picture

This is my comment

RickB's picture

My 701's are getting a little tired. While these are not open backed, would be nice to compare my older AKGs with these.

edeverett's picture

I think my 1970's-vintage Koss 'phones need to be replaced.

thequietman1's picture

hope to experience these new headphones and compare to etymotic and shure

Kirby Dots's picture

Count me in. Thanks.

Geruvah's picture

It'll give me something to listen to other than the girlfriend.

zachisawesome's picture

It sure would be nice to replace my grado sr 80s that have an incurable rattle with something nice!

Teresa's picture

I listen a lot with headphones, my favorites have been Sennheiser's, I went to their website and the Phiaton's look very interesting, would love to hear them with my favorite SACDs.
