FiiO E6
Quote: What headphones are you using, and how long does the battery generally last? I'll be powering my Q701 through my phone (Galaxy S2) using the PowerAmp app. I already have a desktop amp - need a portable one.- gamerich

Headphones - Sound Quality v Sound
Quote: I was mostly considering the street price for a pair of new headphones. Quote: I agree on the wild variations but in my opinion, wouldn't the curve would still be smooth if we're talking average? For example, the $80 headphones that sound (relatively) good make up...- gamerich

Headphones - Sound Quality v Sound
Sound quality is a subjective matter. However, I think we can all generally agree on the frequency response, muddiness, detail, sound stage, etc. Please note that when I say 'Sound Quality', I'm not taking into account the sound signature - some headphones have a warmer...- gamerich

Need help looking for good headphones that are detachable

The general rule of thumb is to avoid plasticky and bass-boosted celebrity headphones as they have a tendency to sound like a sub-woofer with a small $10 speaker trapped inside.

headphone advise (limited budget)
I second warrenpchi that you'd want a closed-back pair of headphones for travel purposes. Are you after full-size or on-ears? Full-sizes are generally more bulky but offer greater isolation and comfort (IMO). I also find that (although you may not) the elastic headband design feature...- gamerich

Audio Technica ATH-M50: Straight vs. Coiled
I chose the coiled for mine. If the straight cable was not as stupidly long, then I would've gone with it as I generally prefer straight to coiled. I use my M50s at the computer/desk and rarely go for jolly walks around the room with the headphones on, so if I had got the straight...- gamerich

V-Moda M-100 vs. V-Moda LP2 vs. V-Moda LP
The LP2s are great and better than the LP IMO. It still has the bass but is less muddy and is slightly lighter-sounding. Not to say these are light-sounding headphones though. The V-Modas generally have a warm sound signature.- gamerich

Headphones you regretted buying the most
Beats Solo HD. Strictly speaking it came with my phone, but it was part of the purchase nonetheless. I would've preferred to have gotten a discount and not get the headphone.- gamerich

Sub-$200 Gaming Headsets with Mic
What would be a nice gaming headset for under $200? I'm looking for one with a good mic. Surround-sound would be nice, but not necessary and I prefer wired to wireless.- gamerich
