Also looks like that'd be more comfortable than the stock headband!

Thank you for the suggestion!  I may just do that, as the headband is tearing even more now and V-Moda's tech support only wants to sell me a new pair rather than replacement parts

Hello!   The leather on the headband of my V-MODA Crossfade LP is ripped/torn, and I wondered if there is a good affordable DIY way to repair the rip?  I would send them in to V-MODA, but the warranty is expired.   Thanks!

I ended up returning the XB50s, and I bought the V-MODA Bass Freq Metal from Amazon for the same price.  They look awesome and are very comfortable, and they have a nice three-button remote.  I was impressed by the sound quality, as my previous V-MODAs were not as impressive.  They have perfect...

I am using the medium Sony hybrid tips (which provide the best fit for my ears), and the bass is great but the treble is uncomfortably sibilant.   Updated list of options: • Sony XB50 with Comply Tips • Sony XB70 • Panasonic RP-HJX5 • Xiaomi Pistons • Philips SHE3590 • Astrotec AM800...

Thanks for the list, that helps a lot!  I will also take a look at the Xiaomi Pistons 2.

I listen to a lot of Hip Hop and EDM, and I am trying to find the best IEMs for those genres.  My first IEM was a cheap Maxell headset from Walmart, which had a phenomenal sound quality for the <$10 price.  They had the best bass I have heard in a headphone, but unfortunately my dog broke them...

I just bought a pair of V-MODA Crossfades, but I am still curious about how the ATH-AX* series sound...

I have also been considering the Polsen HCA-10MB and Noontec HAMMO   Can anyone comment on these pairs?   I am looking for amazing bass quantity and quality without ruining the mids and highs.  I will be using these with a 11" MacBook Air and an iPod touch 5th Generation, un-amped.   These...

Hello   I have been researching over-the-ear headphones, and the ATH-AX3 and AX5 have caught my interest for design/style, and price.  I tried to look them up, but I could only find them on Audio Technica's website (with no reviews).  Has anyone tried them, and if so can you share your...

I have a pair of Maxell headset earphones that sound REALLY good and have KILLER bass, but they aren't comfortable.  I wanted a pair that sounds good and is comfortable, so I did a little research, and found the MEElectronics M9P with flat cable and bought them.  I burned/broke them in for 50+...

Can you do a JVC FX1 vs MEE M9 comparison?  I bought the M9P (Flat Cable) and will be returning them because they don't sound good with an iPod.  Do the JVCs have this problem?

I also want to strengthen my headphone (Senn. HD 419) cable.  What solution would work best?

I just bought the Sennheiser HD 419, and I am concerned that the cable is so thin.  What is the best way to strengthen the cable without replacing the cable or cutting wires?

Okay, I just got my new Sennheiser HD 419s, and I am in LOVE with them!   First of all, they look very good.  I am loving the all-black design.  They are also VERY comfy and light-weight.   Second of all, they isolate noise, even at lowest volumes, but they leak sound at higher volumes.  ...

I have the TD/65s, and they have bass, not very good bass, but it's still there.  It doesn't really have anything else.  They are heavy and get quite sweaty after some time.   I also own Koss earbuds, and they sound HORRIBLE.  My cheapo $5 earbuds sound better.  I stay away from Koss.

Ok, thanks for the recommendation!  I will consider this when buying!   EDIT:  Just bought the Sennheiser HD 419 from B&H for $35 ($12 less than retail price).  I will review them when they come in.

I am also deciding between Panasonic RP-HTF600 and Sennheiser HD 419.  I would power these with my iPod & iMac's headphone jack, no amp or anything fancy.  I am a "Basshead" and want headphones for under $49 that can get thumping bass, while keeping clear mids/highs.  Which ones are best?
