I cannot demo these anywhere, there seemed to be a lot of hype about them initially and now not really a lot is said about them. Are they worth trying? Better than the Beyer DT770 pro 80? I am looking for some cheapish headphones good for electronic music and all genres really.... Not sure if...

I think the title says it all. What are the best headphones, open or closed, that need no amping, modding, or burning-in to sound great? If I just want to plug something into my ipod and be on my merry way, what should I buy?   Suffice to say, many will likely improve with amping, but let's...

I've been trying to do research on here so I can make a decision on new headphones, but I have run into a few problems... I'm a gamer and I use my old Turtle Beach headphones whenever I play with friends. I also have Shure SRH-840 headphones for whenever I just want to zone out and listen to...

Hello. I am wanting a great pair of over the ear headphones specifically for music but I will use for gaming/movies. Some noise isolation would be awesome. Thing is I'd like to not spend more than 200 (I'm only 17 with no job lol). Thanks!

I started looking for headphones and listening to them at music stores and later found that I preferred the AKG's sound signature over the others. AKG sounds so silky smooth, neutral/balanced, and even the instruments sound clearly distinct from each other while others just blend into the music...

I've decided that it's about time I upgrade my portable audio setup and make it a much better listening experience since this is where most of my listening takes place. I would appreciate it if somebody could recommend me a headphone with good bass and treble extension that would provide...

I just got a new AKG K167 today from B&H. Some quick thoughts:   1. Price has been reduced a lot to $104 and including the taxes it is $113. Amazon is selling it for $98 but I don't want to wait for shipping.   2. I opened the box immediately after I checked out. I was nervous about the...

Guys, i am looking for new headphone, i've read reviews from tiestos and ultrasone, i was wondering which one do you think is the best out of these 3? From the reviews i read, they're all classified as basshead cans, and i am looking for the highest bass impact :) I listen to club music, those...

Hi, I've been looking around for a pair of budget headphones with a max price of about ~$150. I will be using them in noisy places, so they must have a closed/sealed design and have passive sound isolation. They need to be reasonably sturdy, and not prone to breaking under moderate stress, since...

I am tired of buying cheap $10 headphones from the drugstore. My brother told me that Sennheiser was a good brand, but he couldn't tell me which ones. So I found this website while doing some research. I figured I would ask.    I want over ear headphones. I am willing to pay up to 150 but...

Anything out there in the 150+ dollar region that blow these things (Vmoda crossfade lps) out of the water? Looking for something great for Electronic Music (Makina, Freeform, etc) Over ear. These were fun for a bit, but now they aren't so special. Home or Portable, it doesn't really matter...

Hey guys, I recently acquired a pair of AKG K167s and am not liking them so far. It has fairly weak bass and mid-bass so without any eq-ing most of the songs I listen to sound lifeless and dull. They are very clear and have fantastic highs, but that coupled with the recessed lows and low-mids...

I have been searching through threads and through review sites for several hours and find myself going in circles on what headphones I should be looking at buying. I have never spent more than $20 on a pair of headphones before and I am willing to put down $100-$300 for a nice pair. I have been...

Which headphones do you think would be better in the following categories. Looks, Sound Quality (Powerful Bass), Durability, Comfort, and Economically..Or give me please options.Thank you!:)

Hey Everyone,    I started a similar thread a few days ago as I was contemplating on either getting the AKG 550 or the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros & I was definitely edging towards the Custom One Pros. I've been looking at other BeyerDynamic products such as the DT770/DT880 & they...

Hey guys, first time poster here and newbie when it comes to audio equipment. I'm in the market for a new pair of headphones for under 180$ ideally and I've kinda narrowed it down to three choices.    AKG Tiesto K167 Shure SRH840 ATH M50   I listen to a lot of music, but mainly;  ...

Long time window shopper, this time I want to buy something for myself. I can extend my budget to Aussie $400 for the MDR-1RBT but not any higher than that. I am going to use a headphone amp I was thinking of getting a Fiio E17. I will mostly use my Galaxy Note II to listen to songs on the...

Hi everyone,   I am a long time lurker and bought my last pair of headphones through lots of research on here. Thank you so much for being a fountain of knowledge!   I currently own a pair of Ultrasone HFI 780 which I use via a cheap Fiio E5 running through a 5th Gen iPod and HTC...

I loved the sound of my DT770s. I didn't love the clamping force - with my glasses, I was getting headaches every time I wore the DTs for more than an hour. What are some good alternatives with a similar sound?   Looking for: - Circumaural, closed/semi-closed (These are my portable...

Not too bright. Efficient enough to be driven well by an iPod. Less than $200 would be nice. Any recommendations?   P

Hey Head-Fiers.   I guess I should say that I've been lurking around here for a little while now, all thanks to an audiophile friend of mine who uses Ultrasone HFI-580s on the go and Grotto 325is in his little awesome setup. Before that I had no concept of really good sound (yep, I was one...

Well... I can spend $400 on headphones and stuff. So I already know I am getting DNA On-Ear Headphones. Which is $200, so $200 left and my remaining choices are: - Another pair of DNA On-Ear Headphones $200 - Beats Pill $200 - Beats Solo HD $200 - DNA In-Ear Headphones and urBeats $100 + $100 -...
