  1. I might just have to change out the icon now!!! Is the opt box size similar? Or will i need a new box?

    It will be similar. The Icon and Xcon lean a little larger then average, Zcon some what down the middle, and Dcon on the smaller side. That is in terms of daily driver enclosures, the Zcon can put up something serious in a tiny peaky box, and the Icon and Xcon's are happy in smaller to average size enclosures as well. :)

    I'm running a bit larger than normal for my icons, about 3.2 cu ft. They do fine for me. :)

    Xcons should be fine in that, Aaron?


  2. Best Buy worker here, and unless you have a store with the Musical Instruments department, its worthless to go there to listen.

    I assume you will want them for monitoring type applications. Check out the Sennheiser HD280 or the Audio-Technica ATH-M50, Sony MDR-V6 are also great from what I hear (no pun intended :D). TBH, I havent used any of these, but I do own a pair of the HD 380's.

    The astros arent suited well for this application and the skullcandy's are just plain bad.

    Read up on Head-fi and look around.

    Just realized you are in Louisiana, if you are in Baton Rouge, theres nowhere really to try out headphones, I've looked. The Best Buy in Meterie, (on Veterans) has a decent selection of monitoring headphones in the MI department. Lafayette, I do not believe has one, and I haven't been to any of the other stores.
