Ok, so the 32GD4U is not coming in until a week or two more. Thanks for the reply. Another follow-up question if you don't mind. The 32GD4U comes with the cable card slot. A friend of mine mentioned to me that this is the way of the future, where all tvs will have this feature built in, removing...

Hi! I'm rushing out after work today to buy my husband an LCD tv for Christmas and am torn between 2 sharp models. The LC32GD4U has the HDTV tuner built in while the 32GA5U does not have the tuner. The difference in price is about $600. I had been dead set on getting the LC32GD4U but then I read...

Tim, I finally got a chance to really enjoy the 212s. I am very satisfied with the comfort and the quality. I'm hearing things on movies I'd never heard before (and we have monitor 11s and minis for our main home theater). I was especially impressed with the matrix lobby scene. With the 212s...

Sorry Tim, I've been pretty swamped lately, leaving little time to check out the forum. I received the 212s on Saturday and have been breaking them in with a continuous stream of music. I was very pleased with them to begin with but am curious to see if I can detect a difference after the...

Tim, they shipped out yesterday via usps ground so I'm hoping I get them by the weekend. I used a 5 off 35 coupon code which I'd be happy to share with you-just email me.

Tim, I went ahead and took the plunge on the 212s (thanks for the suggestion Wayne!) since I too thought the 280s might be a little too bulky. I really like the sleek look of the 212s. I hope they're every bit as comfortable and as good in sound quality. I ordered them through amazon for about...

Tim, you can find the 280s for $80 at amazon and apply a 10 off 75 coupon code to bring them down to $70, which is still 5 bucks more than newegg but they're in stock so if time is a factor you might want to try amazon. Now I'm torn between the 212s and the 280s. Price difference of $38 vs. $65...

Thanks Wayne. The 212s look pretty good too. There are so many Senns to choose from so it's a difficult decision. But I like the lower price on the 212s (over the 497s) especially since they seem quite similar.

Russ, I won't be wearing them in the gym-too sweaty but your comment was a BIG LOL. I'll just be carrying them in my gym bag and listening to movies while on the train. I'm leaning toward the 497s since they seem like they'll meet my needs and they're cheaper. I also can't help wondering why...

Rusell, are the 280s convenient for stuffing into a gym bag or are they rather bulky? It's too bad you haven't tried the 497s. From the pictures I've seen they look very cool (thus, no geek factor :) but in the end comfort and sound rule the day.

Hey Russell, do you think the 280s are worth the extra $ over the 497s? At amazon, the 497s are $55 while the 280s are $80. Do you know what the major differences are between the 2 models? Thanks.

What about headphones for a portable dvd player. I have the Toshiba SD P2000 and want a decent pair that are comfortable for at least an hour and are easy to carry in a bag. Are the HD 497s good for this or is an upgrade to the HD 280s essential? Thanks.

I too am interested in headphones, though portable ones in particular. My husband bought me a Toshiba SD P2000 portable dvd player that I will use on the train while commuting to work. Do you think the HD-497 or HD-280s will be a good fit for watching DVDs on the portable? Comfort is big issue...

I just received mine yesterday though I did see the new issue at an audio place over a week ago. I too was wondering how come I didn't receive mine yet. Also, the mag states that they'll soon be moving to monthly issues.

I think it may be best to wait until I pick up the speakers and experiment with different heights and angles. My family room is 15x22 with an opening on the right side. A fireplace and hutch/bookcase take up the entire left side. The front (all wall) has my sony 34xbr2 while the back is all...
