I live in Montgomery County PA 25 miles north of Philly, and this was my experience.
I had my calibration scheduled for my Pioneer Pro Elite 111-FD Plasma on a Saturday October 29th. The guy named Robert arrived on time and everything seemed normal. He was doing the calibration in movie mode and I told him that Pure Mode has the most options for calibration and he got very upset and told me "do you think you know more than me"
He couldn't do what he called the "white balance adjustment"
He called some kind of help desk or something and talked to a guy about getting into the service menu. He tried a dozen times and couldn't do it.
He called a second guy and he told me that this model tv can't be calibrated and that NOBODY HAS EVER calibrated this tv EVER IN HISTORY. I told him that there are numerous magazine review of this tv being calibrated and that I've personally talked to people on forums who have this same tv and had it calibrated. He acted like I was crazy and that nobody has ever calibrated this model tv. He said I was rude for acting like this tv could ever be calibrated. The guy literally believed 100% that this model tv could never be calibrated and that nobody has ever calibrated this model tv.

Here's how the calibration of this tv is SUPPOSED to be done.

Overpriced, bloated mid and upper bass waste of $

How Often Used:1-2 times a week
I got these as a Christmas present, and they looked pretty cool, but the sound quality was horrible. The mids and highs were ok, but the there was bloated mid and upper bass and absolutely ZERO sub bass or infra sound. They comfort was ok and the durability seems ok.
These headphones are overpriced because some of the cost of these headphones probably go to Rocnation and Jay-Z instead of research and development to make them sound better.
There are many better headphones such as the Athena ATH-M50, Sennheiser HD 558, Klipsch Image One that have far far better sound quality at the same price range. Just a horrible waste of money in my opinion. Even the Ludacrous SL 150s are better than these and they're not great headphones either.
