V-MODA Crossfade M-80
“ So here's my first mini-review. Kinda late, but I like these so much that I had to write a review for them xD Intro One of the reasons I bought the V-MODA M80 is because I wanted a portable headphone that has good SQ and yet has the ability to turn heads. I also wanted my portables to have very good build quality and decent isolation because I will be using them during travel....” --Kagelou
Sennheiser HD 25-1 II Professional Headphone
“ The HD25-1 has been my favorite (trans)portable headphone for quite a few months. I spend a few nights a week away from my home rig and the HD25 works wonders with my iBasso D10 and netbook. Hi-fi on the go has never been so rugged and simple. Best of all is their sonic versatility – though my backup portables, the AKG K181Dj, excel with certain genres and recordings, the Sennheisers perform...” --ljokerl
Aiaiai TMA-1
“ *Previously posted in the Full-Sized Headphones forum. I only recently became aware of the review section of Head-Fi.* PREFACE This is largely intended to be a review of the AiAiAi TMA-1 with using the Audio Technica ATH-M50 as a point of reference. A forum member asked for this comparison in the main TMA-1 thread. I...” --Curly21029
Grado SR-80
“ Not a review, just my little opinion on these nice headphones. My Grado SR80s are the older ones (Not the new 'i' version) I'm guessing my SR80s were made around in 2001-2003 etc. All I can say these SR80s are very musical sounding headphones, and they can sure boogie too. I think the SR80s are one of Grado's best headphones in my opinion. And can sound just...” --TDL-speakers
Koss PortaPro - Headphones ( semi-open )
“ What can be said about these headphones that has not already been said in the 25+ years they have been in production? Well, my girlfriend thinks they look silly... And that for some odd reason makes me love them more. Out of few phones I currently own, I always find myself reaching for these. With the wonderful bass and full bodied sound comes the...” --BloodyPenguin
Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones
“I bought these this week from amazon.co.uk for £10 including delivery. That's US $15. Packaging, appearance, warranty, euro-nanny knows best: Mine arrived in the small European packaging box, branded as Pulse clips as well as "Koss high performance on-ear clips". With the clips came the Koss warranty and the euro-nanny-state leaflet on waste disposal. The phones are the silver plastic Koss...” --julian67
Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9 Sovereign Wood Headphones
“I own many high quality headphone (Stax Lambda circa 1985, Stax SR303, AKG K1000, Sennheiser HD580, plus many other middle level phones) but I wanted a quality headphone for my office that was close to the stax. I needed something that was sealed so it would not disturb my colleagues. I also really enjoy the Audio Technica sound (similar to stax "voicing" in many ways). These fit my goal...” --jessica_fae
Phiaton MS 400 Premium Headphones
“Phiaton MS400: Finding that perfect combination of comfort, portability, isolation, and sound quaility has never been easy, especially in the $150-250 price range. Phiaton, an upmarket audio branch of Korean electronics firm Cresyn, attempts to find the perfect balance with the strikingly pretty MS400.Build Quality: The build of the MS400 impresses right out of the box. Unlike the brutish...” --ljokerl
Sennheiser Adidas HD 25-1 II Orginals Headphones (Black/Blue)
“ If you want to relax with Jazz music, go find something like the HD650s and give it 5 stars as you found a true Hifi gear. This pair HD25s were not born to do some stuff like that imo. ” --timaries
Grado SR60 Headphones
“ Despite being overpriced out of the U.S. they are still worth every penny. They make everything sound energetic and rich. But most importantly the sound they produce makes me grin uncontrollably. Also as a side note, on my ears these (with bowl pads/'L' pads) are circumaural because I have small ears - which is an added bonus for me. ” --GREQ
