Initial listening is good! Dont know how to explain how good the music sounds but bass is clear and the vocals sound very crisp and good too! For $900... it seems much better than the other headphones i have used around the $2000 mark!

I want to get a new set but dont know what to get... Looking at monster cables, but i hear the voice talk mic system is very good???? I have had shure before and not too impressed...
you will need a powerful mp3 player to get the best out of your headphone..

that's one thing to consider as well, 12month carpark + registration costs nearly $40k...

so better get a more highend exotic car to make such fee insignificant!!!

very tempting, but is it true 996 is not as reliable as the 993 air cooled?
i know Porsches are the most reliable supercars, ET any service or parts needed since you had yours?
anyhow, u can buy a 996 and mod it to hell and have change instead of getting say a new A4!!!!
nothing needed to be replaced so far (knocking on wood), I bought a airmass filter hoping to make it run better but no difference. so far only changed engine oil and transmission oil.

for regular 996 (non turbo), those before facelift is known to have more problem with the engine, be careful.

yea I think Klipsch will be a good match with your iphone. hearing is believing, preferences go very personal when it comes to audio.

996 facelift was done in 2002. They changed the engine from 3.4L to 3.6L. I think market value for post-facelift is generally around $500K.
