Audioholics: pimp out all your audio shit

It's only $100 off now, so not a great deal.
I run quite a few Pioneer Elite components, so I am partial to Pioneer.
This is not the Elite line, so it loses some of the features, but it is Class D which gives it better transformers, capacitors, inductors, etc. It will run cooler and more efficiently.
It can stream and decode 24/96 (and higher) so your 24 bit HD PJ shows should flow fine.
One negative with the non-Elite is that it is only 2 zone. If you bi-amp your speakers, that gives you zero extra zones, which is a bummer. I don't bi-amp but still run three separate zones for my setup. Using this + two amps gives me plenty of power to spare for the 4 ohm speakers.
Sound quality is not as strong as the Elite line IMO, but unless you're running Magnepan or other very high end speakers, I'm not sure you would notice.
If this was really going for $500, it would be a very good deal if you were in the market for a new AV.
Thanks for the head's up.0 -

I'm so overwhelmed. I think I've tried every single pair in the store.

I got a pair of these Pioneers that were all the rage a few years back. They were like $60 or something. For my first foray into headphones, they were worth the money. Everything I connect them to sounds better - phone, laptop, receiver. I look forward to getting my turntable back up and running soon!0

You can't go wrong with Senns.

Thanks. It's actually funny cuz I must've tried about 30ish headphones but i skipped that one. It was missing one of the ear cups so I assumed it was broken. I was in there for over two hours before I was approached by a sales guy who showed me these on like the 6th-ish try. Then I made him go away while I listened to a few songs off the Leeds and Oslo boots to make extra-super-sure that I liked them. Then those damn bohemians that were stalking my life stole him.
I killed my phone battery trying to find headphones. That says something.
But anyway they were $200, I got a protection plan cuz I'm a tool, they work with my phone with the little remote thing (which i'm never going to use) and they fold - which is more important to me than it should be. Came with a little carry bag too. Oh and the wire disconnects. Not sure if I should be expecting to replace it then but. I'm just happy I have good headphones finally.NYC 06/24/08-Auckland 11/27/09-Chch 11/29/09-Newark 05/18/10-Atlanta 09/22/12-Chicago 07/19/13-Brooklyn 10/18/13 & 10/19/13-Hartford 10/25/13-Baltimore 10/27/13-Auckland 1/17/14-GC 1/19/14-Melbourne 1/24/14-Sydney 1/26/14-Amsterdam 6/16/14 & 6/17/14-Milan 6/20/14-Berlin 6/26/14-Leeds 7/8/14-Milton Keynes 7/11/14-St. Louis 10/3/14-NYC 9/26/15

Sounds like you chose a winner.
Very similar to mine and you brought some excellent songs for demoing!!!
disconnecting wires are good so that you don't accidently step on the cord and rip it out.
actually happened to me on some expensive headphones once.
and you can also upgrade the cord if you think it will make a difference.
good job!!!livefootsteps.org/user/?usr=446

I just picked up a pair of Grain Audio OEHPs. They look great, are really comfortable and sound fantastic. They have now replaced my Brain Wavz Hm 5's as my main cans.

That is genius.
I've learned two things about my new Senns. #1 is they double as earmuffs in this freezing weather, so plus. #2 is they are apparently noise cancelling - I didn't even have the volume up that high and I realized I couldn't hear my keys jangling in my hand while walking through the lobby. Gonna have to be extra alert/careful now.
