Hey everybody,   Just picked these up a few days ago and wanted to write down my impressions for you guys.   First off, the build quality is quite solid given the price point although they won't be mistaken for something expensive anytime soon. I find the fit pretty comfortable, the...

I've heard everything from Sony R10 and Stax Omega 2 to the PX100 and SR60's being called the most overrated headphones in the audiophile world.   Since the other thread about overrated headphones became mostly about bose, skullcandy and beats...What is your vote for the most overrated...

I know we all have our likes and dislikes when it comes to brands of headphones. But I noticed most headphone brands have a certain house sound. Which ones do you dislike/annoy you the most?   Is it Grado's in your face slam, or maybe Sennheiser's dark veil? Is it AKG's really punchy but...

I recently found my long-lost ancient Creek OBH-11 and plugged my SRH840s into it. Wow! I kinda forgot how great this thing really does, makes me want to get another pair of HD600's. Damn this hobby!

Something kind of strange happened to me, I was just in best buy the other day and I was listening to monster beats solo and upon taking them off my head the headband literally snapped right above the adjusters. I didn't even pull on them more than to take them off my head. So, I figured...

Hey everybody.... I've been gone for quite some time but I felt it was time to come back and start becoming a contributing member again of head-fi. (Plus I really wanna spend more money LOL). Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting up with a fellow head-fi'er *Kouzelna* to do some headphone...

Hi Guys, I just got a pair of HFI-2200s on an amazing deal and was kinda bummed to see the new 2400s just came out. While I dont think they look as good as the 2200s, do they sound any better? I cant find much information online and nowhere to hear them yet!

My boyfriend left me about 3 months ago and I have to say, being single... really really sucks! Sure, it has its perks but mostly, its just empty and lonely. Anybody else in the same boat?

I listen to a lot of electronica (I'm German... lol) and I have read countless times that the K601 and K701 are useless for this kind of music. After comparing my K601's to many different beyers, ultrasones and grados, I have actually found the AKG's the most enjoyable with an electronic beat...

I finally bit the bullet and ordered some. I know I have always voiced I prefer the K601 over the K701, however... something is really intriguing me about them. For some acoustic music I have really been wanting a bit more treble spark and crispness so, based on what I heard at canjam, the K701...

I just received these headphones in the mail from B&H. After all of the reviews I've read on here ranging from how terrible the bass was to they're the best closed headphones in the world I was a bit worried at what I would finally get! I am very happy to report that none of the negatives I've...

Here's the deal, I have been thinking up an idea for a thread and want to know your input. We all know the main "strengths" of some headphones, why don't we make a thread with a few words associating with headphones to describe what they are most definitely not. For example Jecklin...

So i'm taking a two month trip to Germany and Austria soon and wanted something to listen to on the plane plus in noisy environments once I get back and placed an order for a pair of AKG K271 MKII's from B&H, got them for only 159 shipped as they price matched amazon for me. I have been reading...

So my K601 is "out for delivery" according to ups.com and should be here any hour now, I hate the anticipation of waiting. This is so anxiety-inducing it's not even funny LOL. Anyway, K601 first impressions to come whenever I get them and a full review/comparison to K501, HD650, HD600, SR325...

So I was showing my Aunt my HD650's the other day (who, coincidentally knows NOTHING about audio). Her response was... "really comfortable and the sound is like silk, so smooth". I thought it was incredible that a non headphone person could point that out. I showed her my Grado SR225's...

Hey guys I just placed an order for some AKG K601's from B&H photo. I'm so excited as I've been doing so much extensive research on them lately. They seem like amazing headphones. I am going to be returning my HD650's for reasons I am at a loss to explain (please see my "why are my ears...

Hi everybody! As many of you know, I have a pair of HD650s and love the way they sound. My problem lately has been that after listening (at very low volumes even) my ears ring and feel "hollow" if that makes any sense. I've had tinnitus for years, but never had a headphone do this to me at...

Hi everybody, I just wanted to ask if anybody else here has had an "experience" with Grados customer service, if you can even call it that. I set an e-mail to them about a month and a half ago asking them what the repair charges would be on my SR225's which have developed the infamous...

Hi all, I have been a member of headwize and head-fi since 1999 however since I was on a long hiatus and mostly a lurker in the past, most of you might not know me. I am finally back and man it feels good to get back into the swing of things. I just bought (for the second time) a pair of...
