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.- djviciouscycle

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...- djviciouscycle

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

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...- djviciouscycle

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...- djviciouscycle

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.- djviciouscycle

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.- djviciouscycle

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...- djviciouscycle

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...- djviciouscycle

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...- djviciouscycle

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. ...- djviciouscycle

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).- djviciouscycle

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.- djviciouscycle

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.- djviciouscycle

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...- djviciouscycle

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.- djviciouscycle

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. ...- djviciouscycle
