    Headphones for movies <$100

    The Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 headphones sound great with movies, and they are fairly inexpensive.  They have a wide-open design, but at reasonable listening levels, they won't wake someone in a different room.

    New AKG Headphones "By Tiësto"

    I'm pretty stoked about these new headphones.  I've been listening to Tiesto since 1998, but I haven't kept up with his recent stuff.  He plays regularly in my hometown, and I've never gone to see him.  I gave up on checking out my favorite electronic DJs and producers in the last few years...

    Hearing loss prevention

    I keep the volume very low when listening.  Very low.  I'm a musician, and I have to preserve my ears.

    Denon d5000 vs ultrasone pro 900 (in terms of bass)

    Most bassy headphones have too much low midrange for my taste.  I like to take any old set of headphones, use an EQ to trim the 100Hz to 500Hz, and turn up the volume a little.  This works well for getting a good bass response, even from crappy headphones or computer speakers.  I have not tried...

    Guitar amp phones $100

    When playing your guitar through headphones, it will be necessary to EQ, regardless of which headphones you choose.  Try this:  Play a lead run on the high-fretted notes through your guitar amp/speaker(s).  After you select your headphones, play the same run through the headphones.  You will...

    ATH-AD700 Issue

    I get a little distortion in the sound of the AD700 when playing through certain players.  Through my iPod Touch, Aiwa bookshelf stereo, and computers, no prob.  But I get graininess on some notes when plugged into my TEAC standalone CD player.

    Best headphones for rock, metal?

    My favorites for rock are the Pioneer HDJ-1000.  They have this upper midrange spike which accentuates distorted guitars in a nice way.   I've never tried Grados, but I think it might be worth it for me to hear some.

    Studio Headphones?

    I would consider the Sony MDR-V6 (7506), since they would give you little bits of everything.   The Sennheiser 280 are great for studio work, since they have a really neutral frequency response.  However, for that reason, they're not always satisfying when bass is desired.   The Pioneer...

    Headphones that look better than Beats?

    Oooh, too late.  I didn't like the Aviators, but I probably have dfferent taste than your woman.

    Headphones that look better than Beats?

    In terms of looks (and sound), I'm quite partial to DJ headphones.  They look so cool to me, and I love the sounds.  The Allen & Heath Xone: XD53 look awesome, and they sound amazing with my laptop, DJ gear, CD player, and home theater; but they don't sound good straight from an iPod (if that's...

    Please help with "Upgradeitis"!

    This is how I manage my upgraditis:  (since my obsessions involve DJ gear, home theater, home audio, guitar gear, bass guitar gear, ...  ...  I have to actively manage this)   1.  make a list of EVERYTHING you want on paper (actually, I use the "notes" app on my iPod touch) 2. rank them in...

    much hate about bose?

    Bose products are high-end consumer-grade, and they are priced as such.  I don't share the hatred, but I don't use Bose.  The sound of their stuff is fun, but it is far from audiophile quality.  I think people like my parents would appreciate Bose the most:  cool toys that you can plug n play. ...

    Need some headphone recommendations...

    Quote: This is what I was going to recommend.  The AD700 is my only fully open headphone, and it works great for movies.  The cable is really long (about 10ft., I think).

    headphones for watching movies

    Has anyone tried watching movies with the JVC HA-RX700?

    looking for a pair of powerful headphones

    Many DJ and studio headphones can be cranked up without distorting.

    How many of you have ONE pair of headphones??

    Before I acquired a few more sets of hps in 2011, I used the Pioneer HDJ-1000 exclusively for 7 years.  They still haven't been dethroned as my #1.

    Koss Pro DJ 100 - The Budget King

    Senneheiser 280 pro

    Quote: The HD280 and HA-RX700 sound quite different from each other, and both are awesome.  The Sennheiser is better for DJ or studio use, and the JVC is better for listening enjoyment.

    Best Bass Headphones under 100$

    Quote: I don't EQ my headphones very often, but for the JVCs, I just use a shallow scoop centered at 250Hz.  The low midrange majorly overpowers all the other frequencies, but it's fun sometimes.   I really want to see what Denon's headphones are all about one day.

    Koss Pro DJ 100 - The Budget King

    I've been getting interested in the Pro DJ 100 lately.  The 200 doesn't look intriguing, since I have no use for volume buttons on DJ headphones.

    Cool reviews.  It's nice to see how these 2 campare to each other.

    Best Bass Headphones under 100$

    I have the JVC HA-M5X.  The bass can get rumbly, but the low modrange is the most prominent tone.  Therefore, getting a good rumble requires turning the volume up a bit.  Also, these are ported, so noise isn't just allowed in; noise is channeled in with a whooshing sound.  Aside from that they...

    Best Over ear headphones for under $100?

    The Hd280 is one of my personal favorites.   I just tried out my friend's HA-RX700 last night, and they were slammmin.  Amazing sound for such an inexpensive headphone.  I tested them out with some progressive trance on my iPod, and they just sounded awesome.

    Best Full Size Heaphones Under 150$

    I should have mentioned this to start with:  for rock and electronic, and good isolation, the Pioneer HDJ-1000 is awesome.  It hits a low bass without too much rumble, and there is a cool spike in the upper midrange which accentuates rock guitars and electro synths.  It works well with an iPod. ...
