I second this for the mid-range products, but when you go really high-end, it's more of what you need than a specific "perfect product".

Sennheiser is a joke. They made a few good products but now they're junk that only sell products because of their name.

Wear the right size earbuds and don't let the wire rub hard on your clothes, give it some slack.

Someone convince me why anyone should become audiophile? It's stupid. Let's be honest-- the headphones that came with the mac are fine, for the gym and walking around campus, if you travel a lot (like bus), just get some cheap 30 dollar headphones that cover your ears. Shure, Sennheiser, Koss, all of those brands get off cause some smug reviewer claims that he/she can hear the highs and lows and mids and they are really just making it up. Most people will listen to 128 encoded MP4s cause that's iTunes preset.

Challenge me, I dare you.

if you're this closed minded then nobody will ever convince you, you'll just call them a liar, always.

you don't typically become an audiophile. you are or you aren't. my suggestion to you is don't believe anybody. if you experience it and you can repeat the experience that is all you need.

174714 here.

I probably am a bit close minded cause I own Sennheiser PX100s, Shure E2cs. and some Sony MDR D777s, the PX100s do have some nice bass, okay fine, I'll admit that, but after spending so much money on headphones I realized my music experience hasn't improved that much, if it weren't so noisy where I was I could just use the speakers on my laptop and be fine with it. What I realized was that I had wasted a lot of money on what could've gone to games/manga/books/more cds on headphones where the improvement wasn't really noticeable, at least not for the price(s).

And I did check to see if it was my iTunes bit rate that was holding me back (checked against CDs I owned), and I can't tell the difference.

I agree with 174733 I guess either you just can tell or you can't. I wish I realized I couldn't and had saved my monies.

don't consider it a waste. enjoying the music is the first step. right now you recognize that bass sounds different with the headphones. if it is interesting to you, try and define what it is that makes one headphone or speaker qualitatively different from another. is it a particularly refined and extended treble that lends articulation to the bass? are you noticing pitch differentiation? a deeper and more well defined soundstage? one could go on and on. but what high-resolution playback equipment allows you do is get closer to music event, to better understand intent, more effortlessly convey emotion. it's a time consuming process developing the descriptive language and critical ear but it is one that pays dividends if it enhances your enjoyment and appreciation of the music.
