Well, I suppose I can take your word for it.

Oh, one more thing I should have mentioned, a lot of the Dub and Dubstep has a lot of focus on sub-bass, like, below 60hz. How do the Ultrasones handle those frequencies?

Anyone tried Fashionnation headphones? They are always catching my eye in TKMaxx, but I'm not sure if they are good sound quality. 

E.g. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=fashionation+headphones&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=3leeUNrRPKGb1AWX2YGABA&sqi=2&ved=0CE4QsAQ&biw=1366&bih=667

They have sub-bass. You might research and ask in the Ultrasone Fan Club thread to find out more. 

Do i need an amp with the ATHM50?

Hey Im looking for some good in ears for someone that has small ears/ear canals. Listen to RnB, alternative rock, rap, dubstep; so im looking for bass but nothing out of this world since I dont want to spend more than $80US. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS?

Hi, need a headphones recommendations for my cousin.

Willing to spend around $200 range.

Good amount of bass, but not over the top.

Light weight, basically something not heavy.

I have dt770 pro which he likes the feel of, but he wants something different so we can switch time to time. I hope that helps.

Hello every body

I'm gonna buy my first audiophile headphone and i seek detailed & very clear sound without tweaks ( i'm a musician & an addict to baroque, classical & other modern orchestra music) .... from my research i'm currently choosing between grado sr60i & the sennheiser hd598 or hd518 :)) ... yeah i know it is strange because they are not in the same price group ... but i red many reviews talking about the legendary sound of the sr60i for the price ...... the question is does it came any close to the hd598 ? (& i will be using Sansa clip + without an amp ) because if so i would like to save the extra money :))


Please help :)

Hello, I'm rather new to the whole audio thing but have spent the last few months happily lurking away on your forum, soaking up what I can and hopping from lusting over one product to the next  :P But I felt I should probably ask for help before potentially spending an extortionate amount of money on audio equipment!

I listen to a variety of music like classical (Bach, Mozart etc), faster orchestral like Two Steps From Hell, Hans Zimmer etc, but I also rather like my metal; whether it be the chilling voice of Amy Lee in Evanescence to the aggressive growls and thrashings of Slipknot! And just about everything in between! Maryin Manson, Breaking Ben-, Skindred, Three Days Grace, EarlyRise, AC/DC, Queen, Led Zeppelin - you get the idea :P

With this in mind I've been steering towards the following:

A pair of Beyerdynamic DT 880's (600ohm)

JDS Lab C421 - AD8620 portable amp

Rockboxed iPod

Any thoughts? From numerous reviews I've read they seem to be the best "all rounders" for their price but female vocals do not come out very well which is a shame as I rather like female vocals :(

JDS came top(ish) on the "sub $200 dollar portable amp shoot-out" and to be completely honest, that's pretty much as far as I've researched it! My main concern (probably due to lack of knowledge about what my concerns actually are!) is whether it will be able to drive the 600ohm Headphones and if so, will it kill the ipod battery?

Something else I read was that the iPod struggles to play FLAC files, is this true? Does having 64mb cache over 32 make a difference and how do I know which version has what? The Rockbox-ing I'm also a little confused about(surprise! lol); Anything after 5.5 generation works... but doesn't. It has a very nice alternative to Apple's GUI... but doesn't..?

I apologise for my need to be spoon fed :( It's not intentional, promise! :(

Thank you so much for reading and for all the help and information in this site! :D It's amazing!

-Tom

Save yourself some money and get a Clip+ and rockbox it. Then get a micro SDHC card. The Clip+ sounds great and is way cheaper. 

Hi nice people at Head-Fi I am looking for some around the ear or over the ear headphones that sound similar to the v-moda M80 headphones. I am considering the LP 2 headphones but I have heard some bad things about their SQ. I would like them to be less than $200. Yes I know about the M100 but they are simply too expensive. I am willing to buy and amp like the FiiO E7 if needed. I will mostly be using an iPhone 4s. Thanks!

Hi there I'm looking for a pair of full size (open or closed) sub $200 (my ideal would be around $100) headphones that are highly detailed and neutral.

I've got a pair of Hifiman RE0's and I really like their sound signature and the detail they can produce and am looking for something similar. For what it's worth I've got a Fiio E5 amp that I use with my RE0's.

I'll mainly be using these headphones at my computer at home for music, movies, and games - but portability would be nice too if traveling by bus or plane. I listen to a wide assortment of genres, but mainly rock and electronica.

Some headphones that may fit what I'm looking for are: Fostex T50-RP, AT M50, KRK KNS 8400, and Sony mdr-v6

Thanks!

Phew! Finally the right thread for some much needed help. I'm kind of new to the whole serious headphones thing. Always stuck to Sennheiser's so far. Finally decided to go after a really nice pair of headphones as a belated 40 th present. I have no idea which to go for. So far the Aiaiai Tma 1's, Audio Technica ATHPRO500/ 700's, and the Focal Spirit One's. I'm after something I can use on the go with an Ipod (hope that's not swearing round here!)   I'd prefer something with a detachable cable, and either on or over ear. Any suggestions would be awesome, I'm bewildered by the immense choice and fumbling around, thanks in advance.
