Alright, so I've been looking around and I've had trouble finding anything that is specific enough for my problem. I've a old ass iPod Classic and a 4th gen iPod Touch, both of which I listen to a silly amount of electronica and alt rock and indie rap on. It's is almost all electronica though...

Hi guys. I'm new here and have stupid and trivial question: I've got an iPod touch 4 and I need a headphones with real nice sound (for the price <$150) and iPod remote control. I'm not going to pay just for brand like Bose etc. I'm sure everybody here is more experienced than me so I'm waiting...

Hi, i am looking for a set of headphones that are both stylish and have great sound quality, problem is, i really only have a budget of about $200 at max, but preferably under. How i first got into headphones was through Beats by Dre. At first i was like, "Oh, man! These sound awesome!" But that...

So, I have not seen a "Giant Killer" thread in a little bit. This is just a thread where you can post ANY headphones/ earbuds (preferably sub-50 dollar US range) But anything is acceptable! I want to hear everyone's voice here. For me, my giant killers are the Monoprice 8323. They have sound...

Hello. Newbie to the forums here, but not the site. I've been around the net for the past few weeks doing research on a new pair of headphones, and head-fi has consistently been a great source of info :D Anyway, I've tried my damnedest, but I've been overwhelmed in my research. I've found it...

So I am looking to get some headphones my budget is around $200-$250 I am willing to go a little higher but not too much. I will mainly be using them for listening to music on my computer. I mainly listen to electronic or dubstep also I don't have an amp but might get one if necessary. Also I...

Helping my friend buy some headphones, I think she was inspired after hearing me rave about my DJ1s that I recently got lol. Don't want her wasting her money so I'm starting this thread. I figure I will also try and get her into the audiophile world with me seeing how I am I beginner too, and...

I was born with type IV microtia (anotia and atresia). Basically I have no ear lobe or canal on my right side and deaf in my right ear.  I love good quality audio equipment and sound. Always have had component stereos in my car and in my  home but have never bother with headphones because I...

I am looking for some on or over the ear headphones for use at work. I have recently tried the Shure se215 and while they sounded decent, the would not stay in for the life of me and I really just don't care for the IEM. I work in a warehouse so I have to deal with loud horns and conveyor belts...

Currently I have Sennheiser HD 202s. They're great, but look too big for my head! What are some headphones that sound the same, but I can wear in public? I don't want to have to coil the 3m cord either. Can in-ear phones replicate the full headphone experience?   I use my headphones around...

  Hey Everyone,     The other day I was skimming over blog posts at headphonia and Mikes review of the Sennheiser PX210BT caught my attention. He said not only did the new generation PX surpass its predecessors but he put it up against the M50s and HD 25II and he liked the new PX based on...

I suspect that I have a somewhat different problem than most of the forum users here, but perhaps someone can suggest some solutions. A little over a year ago I suffered an overnight sudden hearing loss caused by a viral infection. I permanently lost all usable hearing in the right ear and had a...

Hello there everybody! I am new to the forum and I am looking for a new around ear headphones that i can use on public transport and long bus trips. I have no external amps, just my ipod and some classical rock and some She and Him. My two options that i found were the Shure SRH840 and the...

Hello everyone , This is my second post ( first didnt get any replies) and i have a question , I was looking for a new headphone and i saw the v-moda crossfade lp's on amazon for $120 which is 90 euro's and i thought that was a good price ( on the v-moda website 140 euro's).   Are these...

I want a pair of Semi-Portable HeadPhones, I want good bass, a detachable cord on one side, and some kind of folding technique all for under 150$ am I asking for too much? 

I've been considering buying the Sennheiser hd25 1 ii. I've researched and researched these and they seem to be the best fairly affordable portable headphones but still I'm somewhat unsure if they are right for me. I'll be using these headphones with my ipod touch 4g and I want to know if the...

Hey all,   My place was broken into a few days ago and some crackheads stole my DJ stuff along with my beloved Sony V900's. I am looking for some suggestions on a good replacement. These things have been my babies for the last like 15 years and I need some suggestions for a comparable or...

I recently purchased a pair of Senn HD-555. They were in absolute mint condition, haven't been used much - also they have had the "595 mod" done by the previous owner as I have opened them both and checked.   I am not very pleased with the overall sound. I am no audio geek and my sound...

I am considering on buying the Bose Headphones. I mainly listen to rock and rap. The only problem is that I hear there are better headphones for this price. I looked at the shure e3c but I dont like earbuds. Is there anything that looks as good as the Bose and is better?

Hi I was looking for a good portable solution for listening with my ipod, I have read "lJokers" portable shootout thread and various other portable headphone threads but I can not find substantial information on these 3 cans above.  I have a pair of AKG K518 at the moment which I use as my on...

My guess is that they sound pretty similar, in that case which should i go for?   Both are ugly so the main question is quality..The AKGs that i got just wont die on me, still looks like new after years of every day use. But Shure know what they are doing also.   I want something fun...

hey guys,  am about to purchase a pair of headphones - iam a little bit of a DJ and a big fan of Trance music. Till now i've been on the bose on ear for more than a year and now am looking for a similar sound quality(or better), I got the beats studio and the sennheiser HD 25 in mind what do...

Title for reference   I want to get them but I was just wondering, have any better headphones been made in that price range after three years of it having been out?

Hi I am new to headfi but I listen to predominantly trance and techno.  I have a pair of AKG k518 at the moment but I find them to be quite bass heavy but have that boomy resonant bass with a long decay period, with somewhat recessed mids and veiled highs to my ears anyhow (I have removed the...
