Will be used mostly for movies, plugged into my receiver's headphone jack. I prefer on ear, as long as they are lightweight and comfy on the ears. Over the ear are fine too, but if the cups are not deep and large enough, and touch my ears, I hate that. Thanks.

Hi, i am looking for headphones that have padded ear pads, or something like it. just not leather cause i don't find it comfortable wearing headsets with leather for longer periods of time. i have been trying to look around the internet for options, but most headphones have leather earpads. and...

Hey, guys. Im new  here. Ive got a AKG k420 (I know it barely means nothin' for some guys here ), but Im going to upgrade my rig a little bit. Is AKG Q460 (quincy jones signiture edtion) a good choice to go？ I usually listen to britpop, pop, some jazz. I would prefer a pair  with obvious bassy...

Hi everyone,   I was tempted to list my AKG K420 and Koss PortaPro up for give-away because I'm not really using either at the moment. Mostly because the PortaPro pads are starting to break down, and the AKG K420 cable has several breaks in it as well as pad issues.   However, I really like...

Hi peeps. Been reading through the forums, and I need help on what to get. My Monster Turbine Coppers are broken, standard cable-wiggle-for-sound issue. I don't mind paying for good headphones, but I don't want to pay for too much either. Problem is, I live in the Philippines, so I don't have...

Hello.   I am going to buy a new headphones and I couldn't find any response to my questions.   I am considering a headphones like AKG K420 (\ K430) \ K450. It's a portable and small model. Does the small size has an impact on sound quality? What is the quality in comparison to full-size...

I bought the AKG K26P (some 7 or so years ago) from Headroom for $30. I believe ( a few years later) it was renamed the AKG K414P and was still selling for around $30. A friend of mine really likes the sound so I was looking for a new pair for her. I was wondering if anyone here knows what “AKG”...

Hi, I used to use iPod Photo 30GB with AKG K319 headphones. For me it sounds great, especially with track recorded on Apple Lossless format. Now I've lost either iPod and headphones so I have to buy new one. I've decided to buy iPod Nano 8GB 6th Generation and now I'm looking for headphones...

i got my hd598 as my first headphone around 3 months ago.. i don't normally listen to mainstream pop music.. i usually only listen to accoustic tracks, classicals, movie/game soundtrack, and mainstream rock.. however, just now i listen to several tracks from katy perry and lady gaga.. i used to...

Hi head-fiers. I'm recently looking into getting a pair of headphones for casual use at my workplace. Been looking at Sennheiser HD201 and HD202. I like HD201's sound but HD202's look. Both are within my price range. Would've settled for the HD201 if it looked more appealing for street use as I...

I've been doing some researching and I really can't find any hard reviews/information on portable headphones (not IEM's, which is what this sub-forum is filled with).   My criteria? Closed (Don't want my sound leaking) Comfortable (Going to be using while studying) Durable (I don't...

Okay, so my budget is $500 or 40,000 yen since I live here in Japan I can stretch my budget but please keep it to minimum.   I will be using it for portable music player and a great bass will be appreciable.  I listen mostly to rock, alternative rock and some hip-hop few on slow musics...

Hello,   First of all, I have never seen a forum so dedicated and well organized as this one. Truly deserve the reputation. So, like every first time curious buyer, I searched a lot of headphones which fit my budget and narrowed the results to few. These are the finalists   1. Sennheiser...

At first I thought I'd buy the AKG K420s but since I've come across the Philips SHP5401s (as far as I know they are the same as SHP5400s only in a different color, at least they look nearly the same) I don't know which ones to choose. SHP5401s are said to be surprisingly good for the price but...

So i've been looking around for a pair of headphones in the price class of the AKG K420 etc., around 30-40 euro. The specs say that they are half-open; what exactly does that mean? I'm going to be using mine during long bus travels and the like, and I prefer not to annoy my fellow passengers too...

Last week I broke the headphones I was using (sennheiser omx 60), and while looking at a local store for a replacement pair, I heard a seller praising AKG phones (until then totally unknown to me). I don't usually listen much to sellers, but I started paying attention to this one as he was...

Not a fullblown audiophile but do love my Sennheiser HD202.  I am looking for   something portable,  in ear or over ear (basically something that doesn't let everyone else hear what I'm listening                                   to so if there are some on ears that fit this I am open to...

I want an upgrade from my old PX100; comfortable on ear portables that I can run off my Cowon J3 without an amp. The genres I listen to are progressive and alternative rock. I don't like the feel and complete isolation of canal phones. They hurt for me since I have really small ear canals...

Hi, i'm starting to get tired of having to hold up my phone to my mouth when i talk in the phone with my AKG K420. So I figured i'll by something similar with i mic. Like i said, right now i have AKG K420 and i'm very happy with the sound. So i don't need much more expensive headphones, even...

I'm looking for a new pair of headphones. Previously I've been using Sennheiser PX 100 I was pretty happy with them but they eventually broke down (sound only on one side) and I got them very cheap at the time (about $25)   I'm looking to buy either PX-II 100 or AKG K 420, they're rougly the...

gurus, Need your help- i'm almost done acquiring a fairly decent set of phones, and I dont think my DIY solid-state amp(modded with 120ohm resistors to ground) cuts the mustard. I will be using an old toshiba laptop and a Cowon D2 as a source, and sometimes a Moto DROID(Shoutcast)   I...
