Weekly Discussion •. I'm looking at buying a Bottlehead Crack w/ Speedball for my HD 650's, but am curious as to what the difference between the 'standard black molded IEC power cord' and the 'Bottlehead Power Cord Kit' is.

Does Bottlehead's power cord offer better sound quality? As a sidenote, as I'm Australian, I'll be paying $480 AUD for it without the cord, and $580 AUD with the cord, so I don't want to pay $100 for snakeoil, please only factual evidence.

Also, I don't ask this in a 'purchase advice' kind of way but would you say a Bottlehead Crack w/ Speedball is worth $480AUD/$580AUD? EDIT: As I thought, snake oil. I think you'd feel differently if you knew how many $150 headphones from bigger companies cost just as much or even less to buy/manufacture. Sure you can get the 8323 direct from Monoprice for $25+shipping but its sound quality matches or beats many of its $100-$150 competitor's and if you're OK with the aesthetics then the only strong criticism is the comfort which Bottlehead has apparently improved. Even at $150, you could do a whole lot worse than this.

The 'head-fi'er' type would probably be better off getting an 8323 and doing comfort/damping mods on their own as necessary but the average person on the street is actually getting a decent headphone in the Crackheadphone. Sure its overpriced but everything in this market is, especially the stuff that's actually good.;) • • • • •.
