If I were in your position, I'd personally give these a try... But I'd hold off until you get some input from other people on the forum that know more than I do My reasons for selecting the headphones I linked above are: Closed design Brand (Sennheiser = quality) Price Reviews I read that said they had better bass than the 518's although it wasn't overpowering (Edit: Maybe still not as much as you want...). With that said, I'd take my suggestion with a grain of salt and get more info first Hope this helps... Edit: For a point of reference, I have a pair of HD 558's and they have enough bass for me to enjoy deadmau5, skrillex, etc... dubstep... and if I'm not mistaken the 439's have a bit more bass...

I love my Fiio E10, but haven't heard a o2/odac... It might be worth taking into account that the Fiio E10 is also like 170-200$ cheaper than the o2/odac...

How are the mids and highs though? I saw a couple reviews of them saying the mids and highs were lacking...

Two things, ATH-M50s are constantly around 100$ and don't seem worth much more than that... Also, ATH-M50s are flat response headphone for studio monitoring, so they will also not have a ton of bass...

No idea... never listened to them...

Still not a lot of bass though and probably not what he's looking for...

Not sure how much open and closed headphones really make much of a difference in being able to wear glasses with them... I have headphones of both styles that I can wear glasses comfortably with...

I'm sure the Sennheiser headphones are fantastic because they are Sennheiser headphones, however, they probably won't have the bass you are looking for as I'm pretty sure they have similar drivers to the HD 558's and my HD 558's don't have a huge amount of bass... Edit: even with the 518's being more closed than the 558's they probably won't have a ton of bass... Its a good thing for ME but probably not what YOU are looking for...

Ahhh I see what you are looking for now... Yeah that would probably be the one I'd go with also if you are looking for an AMP/DAC to work with your phone...

I'd think you'd want a closed pair of headphones to isolate the noise the keys make when you press them so that you only hear the actual notes from the keyboard correct? However, with that said... the sound those keys make probably isn't all that much and open headphones would probably be fine... If you are cool with open headphones, I'd suggest getting the HD 558's, they sound awesome and have a huge soundstage... However, if you want closed headphones, I'd suggest something with a flatter sound than the Custom One Pros if you want something more natural since it is for keyboard use... I don't really have a lot of experience with closed headphones with a more flat sound signature, so the bass port on the Custom One Pros may be the fix for that issue anyway, but does anyone else have any ideas? Edit: The link for your dac was broken for me... so I don't know what it was... but I'd suggest a Fiio E10 I love mine!

I personally don't use Visual Studio for C, but it does have great support for C++... So it probably would be a good place to start so you are familiar with it by the time you move on to learning C++...

Well I have mine in my hand... and it's not removable... so... Edit: Nvm you sir are correct, I've just discovered a new feature!

Not sure if you will like the HD 558's if you want a ton of bass... However, they are great for games since they are an open style headphone and have a huge sound stage...

Pretty sure the HD558's don't have a detachable cable, so that mic won't work with them... However, I love my HD558's, they are an open style headphone and sound incredible. If you decide to purchase the 558's I'd suggest one of these or these for a mic.

Tis probably why the majority of my life resides on the internet 0.o I wonder if I could download mods for it?

I think you should all talk about what kind of programming you want to get into first... Scientific programming and web development are very different tracks and would have very different starting points... The first thing you want to do is have a meeting with your group members and find out the following: Does anyone have any programming experience? What do we want to learn how to program? Web development for instance would require the immediate basics of HTML and CSS to get you started. W3Schools has a fantastic website that teaches both of these and would then expand your knowledge with JavaScript, PHP, etc... However, the more scientific rout which I like to refer to as "hardcore programming" (I'm kinda biased toward this because web development is boring as hell to me...) should be done first by learning C and then C++ or Java. A teacher of mine once said... "C is the master language, God programmed the world in C." lol If you want some more help with finding resources to learn different programming languages, feel free to send me a private message; I'd be happy to lend a hand!

Ahhh crap you sir are correct, not sure what I was thinking there 0.o I'm more of a DC fan anyway

Ok, of all the GIFs i've seen... this has got to be the most random... where do people find this stuff lol?

Hi 5! Exactly! Also, if you want to learn Haskell... this is the best resource I've ever seen for it... There is a link on that page to read the text for free! Also, the text is just down right hilarious... even if you don't really care about learning the language so much... its a good all around read

I disagree, The biggest part of programming that I learned in college that I have still to this day found hardly anything useful about online is "good practices" when programming... Because so many languages have extremely diverse "good practices" having a good solid idea of them is extremely beneficial... Point is... there are just some things you can't really learn on the internet...

I lol'd so hard at this... and completely agree... I work for a research and development company that develops memory (I cannot give any more info than that...) and just let me say... If I couldn't program, I would be out of a job... I literally spend 6+ hours a day of hard coding...

I'd highly suggest C and then C++ afterward... for more info as to why... see my post in this thread

Agreed, and omg I <3 Haskell... lol I'd highly suggest learning C and then C++, that way you will start off learning what benefits you will get from an imperative language, and then expanding on it by learning the Object Oriented side of things with C++... There is a really large benefit of learning C and then C++ behind it: C code is valid C++ code. So since you will have already learned C, you know the basics of C++... so from there on... you can think of C++ as an expansion of C... I love C++ because it is everything C is and more... it has all of the benefits of C and all of the benefits of being an Object Oriented Language, and doesn't fall short of Java because it doesn't have garbage collection (thank you destructors...) With that said, there can be some kinda tricky things to wrap your brain around when learning C++, however, because it would be your first or second language it may not be all that confusing because you wouldn't really have a point of reference as to why certain things work the way they do in C++... Also, I'm a very large supporter of the explicitness of actual pointers in C++ and C and not just having everything be a reference as in Java... However, with all of that said... in the words of Peter Parker... "With great power comes great responsibility..." C and C++ have no safety net and you can really break your programs if you aren't careful. While struggling without a safety net and becoming familiar with the language at first may be rough... it will be extremely beneficial because it will make you very very comfortable with debugging in the future if you decide to go on and learn other languages (mainly because other languages have way better error reporting and error handling than C and C++) So yeah, I suggest C then C++... Hope this helps... Edit: also, the books published by O'Reilley are fantastic...

Nice choice

I totally didn't even read that line before but you are entirely right... even without taking into account how the JVM manages multiple running programs, there is also a strong possibility that there is other things using memory in that runtime besides the actual process itself (especially because of some of the sketchiness of garbage collection) so totalMemory-freeMemory would potentially include memory not used by the running program... I'd be looking into another method of calculating the runtime memory usage for Java also...
