We need current 2015 opinions on this machine. Is the lack of reviews indicative of a laptop past its prime? Or is this the wrong place for it? And, that trackpoint where the trackpad is usually placed is an ancient piece of technology I don't even recognize.

  Was considering the new HP 2 in 1 after not being in the laptop market since 2009 with the advent of purchasing a macbook pro. That is until I saw the 90 day limited warranty. I thought one year was standard. 

You're not going to have much luck finding high end portable phones in the South, except for the more commercialized ones like Beats and some Sennheiser. Region plays a big part in accessibility. Places like Guitar Center could be another option but their selection will probably be limited...

I don't doubt the TH900 is probably technically superior to the W3k, but it's more likely the frequency response--the tipped up highs and recessed mids of the TH900--that'll determine, or make or break a person's choice between the two.

Quote: Probably b/c most ppl don't find it problematic or thin doesn't equate to bad sound. The sound is full-bodied and intimate in presentation in other areas to keep it from sounding anemic. Mid-bass sounds thick, mids very present and sultry, and a slight treble tilt that can sound...

Divide by two and subtract one from previous reply.

They were all clowning him in the Grado thread for calling the headband adjustment rods antennas, but they do, in fact, effect the sound quality--just not directly like the drivers would. Having the correct fit is prerequisite to hearing the sound optimally.

Headphone hair is far more preferable than indented hat hair. Hat hair looks as bad as the just got out of bed look.

After a while I acclimated to that and it didn't really bother me, since it did most other things right. I thought my IEMs, the Victor FX700, did a better job of a 3D presentation at the time.

More like poor imaging. I thought the "wall of sound" had to do with spatial/soundstage cues or having a strong left/right feel? Like you can tell it's coming from the opposite sides of your head, instead of a holographic image...I'm not too sure.

The LCD2s aren't phones that'll WOW or floor you. I remember listening to them for the first time and thinking: "Is this it?" I was unsure about how it was "supposed" to sound; It didn't seem to do much of anything remarkable. It took me about a month to appreciate its technical abilities and...

The W3k already has an internalized vocal boost built in the drivers of the headphone from design for your listening pleasure. Every time I put them on I'm reminded of this b/c the vocals surround my inner head in forward motion from every angle. Or could that be how some of the songs were...

Female vocals sound more liquid and emotional on the HE500s, while the LCDs can sound a bit dry and dull at worst.  There isn't a significant difference in the bass response to me to warrant choosing one over the other, unless one's really particular about that. LCDs has timbre and texture that...

I have mine boosted in the sub bass area about 1/2 increments on Itunes. I'd go down to 20/30hz but it doesn't extend that low.

Might catch more head-fiers if we expanded and included the entire southern region. Add MS to this and we'd have a total of 3. MS is the other side of AL anyway.
