Hello fellow bassheads! At long last it is finished! As a service to my head-fi community (which I love so much) I decided I’m going to write a review of every headphone I own. I only buy headphones under 200 dollars, so this is really only a 200 and under comparison. I will try and expand it...

Dear HF Community,   I am in the market for a headphone that can be powered easily and go loud without distortion. I wish to power this headphone off of an Allen & Heath DJ mixer (Xone 92) and sometimes an iPhone 5. The instruction manual states to use headphones between 8 to 100 ohms...

Hello, Head-Fi forums.   For the past few days I have been rummaging this website for a portable over-ear headphone that would both amaze my ears through sound quality and my eyes through visual appeal. To be completely honest, I am a novice when it comes to high quality headphones and...

I have recently become interested in a few over the ear headphones over the past couple of weeks. I listen to mainly Metal and Dubstep/DnB/any techno song with a good beat. The headphones I am torn between are the ATH-M50 HD-251 SRH750DJ K181DJ   My two biggest factors are sound...

I can only afford 1 right now though I'd like to get both. Which one sounds better ultimately? I realize that they're completely different styles and portability has no bearing on the decision.   I liked my q460's for jazz, electr, dj...but they were lacking in the "rock" department. I...

Well, it’s been 14 months now since I first purchased the Senn HD25-1, and I just have nothing but love for these headphones… These’re the only headphones that I definitely use every day…at the office & on my commute. They’re virtually indestructible. I toss em in my backpack everyday...

Well, I've looked around the forums for a couple of days and have been stuck on what headphones to buy. I had some AKG k240 studios prior to this. My genres of music range from electro, house, dubstep, dnb, to alternative, and indie. I like clean vocals too. So far for ideas I've come up with...

I’ll be smiling all day today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and… I just opened the box containing a brand new set of Ultrasone HFI 680’s. I ordered them on Monday from Qables.com and the next morning (that’s impressive even if you’re in the same country) they were waiting for me at...

OK, this may be a futile exercise, but hopefully we can tidy this forum up and reduce the daily replication of threads that ask the same questions.   If you're new to Head-Fi and are seeking advice, hopefully this thread will assist you in making an informed decision.   Head-Fiers are...

I'm quite new to the world of audio and I'm trying to pick out a pair of portable headphones for music on the go. After reading some material I've narrowed it down to the AKG K181DJ, Audio Technica ATH-M50, Ultrasone HFI-450, and Numark PHX. So, which one and why? One concern I have is so...

So far the Audio-Technica ATH-ES7 is my top choice. My only concern is that it might be disappointing in the sq department, though its beauty could make up for that. I have owned the hd280's, but the higher impedence, coiled cable, and overall bulk make them unapealling to own again. Are...

Introduction   I started planning this review around the same time I joined head-fi and saw how useful multi-headphone comparisons could be for a newcomer. I put my meager (at the time) collection of portable headphones to good use and tested them against each other. What started out as a...

Hi there, new to head-fi.  After lurking, I finally decided to make an account!   From advice from lurking, I have owned KSC75s, ATH-ES7's, and MEelec M9's.  Unfortunately, my ES7's and the KSC75's both broke, haha.  So, I'm left with a cheap pair of IEM's, which although I like the sound, I...

Hey everyone,   Thanks for having such a forum where people like me can get some feedback from the more experienced Gurus. I'm an university student and I tend to know a lot about cars but hardly anything it seems about headphones. I have used the basic skull candy/ bose/ sony headphones but...

I'm planning to buy a pair of cans for my sister for her birthday or Christmas gift or graduation gift. I have a pair of Senns HD280s. She's listened to them and really likes them. She's also listened to a pair of Beats by Dre and loved the bass on them (our dad raised us to be bass lovers)...

I'm considering buying a pair of of AKG K181DJs but I heard they're quite uncomfortable and I haven't had the chance to wear them yet. However, I've also heard people complain about the comfort of the HD280Pros, and to be honest, they're not too bad. At first they were slightly uncomfortable...

I'm looking for headphones that have these qualities:   -Under $200 (I would be willing to go $250 if they're that much better) -On-ear or over-ear -Sounds good on my ipod; sounds great when I plug it into something with more power -Great mids and treble; good bass (The Shins would be...

I'm looking for headphones that will "wow" me. I'm new to the world of "head-fi", and just recently bought a Cowon S9 (based on the fact it's deemed an audiophile's portable player).   After several hours of research, I came across the thread here reviewing 44 portable headphones...

Hello to everyone, I am new on the forum :) have been reading only for a few days this forum that i just discovered to find out which headphone should i buy.     I will start by saying a few things that may help you to help me        I listen to practically every kind of music...

My dad is a a bit of an audiophile but I haven't really got the cash to get him a high end $300+ Pair of headphones but he said he is good with a nice pair of $100-$150 Headphones and these two seem to be getting the best reviews for the price.

I am trying to come up with a pair of headphones to ask for for Christmas. I will mainly be listening to EDM, Rap, and Rock. They NEED to meet this criteria: They need to be very comfortable. They need to have crisp sound quality. They need to be just bassy enough (I want to hear those...
