Hey everyone!    As stated above I'm looking for a good pair of headphones for gaming/music. I've been looking at the AudioTechnica ATH-AD700 but I've been getting mixed messages. Everyone says they are amazing for location perception in games (perfect for FPS) But some say they're...

These are the phones I've been using for ever it seems and really like the sound quality and signature of these (neutral version). But they are quite big and are a bit too warm the wear for long in summer.   So, with that in mind what would be a decent headphone that would sound similar and...

As the title says I have looked A LOT and a lot more and more then that.   I'm still on my crusade to nail down my fathers gifts for his 50th.   And a simple bit of EQing handles most of his hearing deficiencies, about +5db between 1kHz and 2kHz. And tone controls just dont extend far...

I have combed through the past 5+years of Head-fi posts and have found some great suggestions, of course that leads to more questions. I went to the closest Guitar Center to try out a few phones and wanted to elicit opinions and what might be the best option for me since some of the headphones...

First of all hi everybody, I'm glad to join the forum. I have never had any experience when it comes to headphones only ipod's ear-in and notebook's speakers.   My main goal is to listen music, I don't listen to nothing with much bass, generally John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Guns, Bon Jovi...

Nevermind.

Hello, I am looking for a good neutral type of headphones. Planning on using them for 50% Gaming and 50% Media. Media includes music, videos, movies and the like. Gaming just being good sound and hearing things, being emersed or just having fun with it. My budget is $125 - $150, I can go over it...

Will adding a FiiO E17 or simular amp/dac to a Sony Walkman NWZ-E465 make it sound better or just louder? I currently use a pair of either Alessandro MS-1's or SHURE se-215's for all sorts of music from Jazz to Rock. 

Or something else? Under $150.   Strictly for vinyl... Technics 1200 to Sansui 881 receiver. No portable use ever.   I listen to everything, primarily Rock, Blues, Jazz, and Soul. Occasionally Electronic, Rap, New Age, and Classical.   I have sort of a noisy AC in the summer...

I've been lurking this website for a few days and I'm one for metal music, this being said I've been suggested headphones by Grado. To many of you Grado is THE headphones for rock/metal music. I was looking around Amazon for the SR80i and I decided to look up review here. Many of you said...

In order not to infect and bring the SR60mod thread off-topic I thought it might be an idea to start a new thread for those of us Grado modders who want to share ideas/impressions/mods concerning their Symphones Magnums. Personally, I have been very impressed with the Magnum drivers and think...

Preface:   Hi, I'm a student on a budget and I need some advice.  (Note:  because I think it might be relevant here, I am slightly deaf.  For the most part I can hear ok, but do have trouble hearing high frequencies).   I have recently ordered: Sennheiser HD595 ($130) Sennheiser...

Is the difference between the Grado SR80i and the 125i worth the $50? Or are the 80i's just as good as the 125i's?  

I have never owned any sort of expensive headphones; probably the most money I've invested was $30 for a pair of Creative Labs earbuds.   I love music, but I've never been able to work a pair of really nice headphones into my budget until recently.  To give you a rough idea, I can spend up...

a while back my uncle gave me his old koss portapro and opened up the whole world beyond apple earbuds. they sounded so much better that ever since then i have been meaning to get some new phones. i have been looking at grado since i listen to rock mostly and would just like to get your...

Hi there   I was just searching around the internet for some good full headphones, and thought i may aswell get some real reviews from products. Im going to be mainly listening to general punk and indie stuff, and id like a pair that gives a good bass treble mix which is punchy for the punk...

I listen to alot of Rap/Hip Hop and some Rock, and I was wondering if the Grado SR80i's suit me.   If yes, then what pads should i get? (I'm not a fan of the yellow HD414 pads)   Do they need to be amped?

Hi all, If I really enjoy the Westone UM3x sound signature, can anyone recommend a full-size headphone that would be similar? From my quick research, maybe Grado's 225i's or AKG K701's?   Thanks!

I am looking for a good set of very "liquid" or "musical" headphones. I really like the sound of my ATH A500s but I also love the sound of my etys. I liked both sennheisers and grados when I listened to them but the lower end grados seem to be a little harsh. With that said what are some good...

Hello, recently i have wanted to upgrade my headphones. I currently own Shure 750DJs (not a fan of the comfort) and I did own the ad700s for a short time (LOVED THEM) but had to return them due to size. Ok, so I use my headphones at home (rx-v667 as a headphone amp) and portable use (most...

I usually listen to Rush (the band) and would like headphones that play them the best, but also can play hip hop with some bass when I'm in the mood. So far I've heard the Ultrasone DJ1's, the ATH-M50's, and the Shure SRH750 DJ's. Which one do you consider the best for what I am looking for?  ...

I love the ideas of grados, they look sweet, and heard their sound is great!   one thing im worried about is the leaking sound....   can i use these things at the library if i listen to my music quietly?   Ive read i can use the sr60's without an amp, can i do the same with 80's or...

I know... different closed phones of different prices, and open phones....cant compare, right?     Lets say im trying to have decent sound and keep the sound relatively isolated, i dont listen to my music too loudly, so i dont think the open phones would leak too much...   out of the...

Hi all,   I would like to know how much treble energy the HD600 has when compared to the AD700.   Are the sound signatures similiar? I know that the HD600 would have a lot more bass, but what about the treble?   Are the well amped HD600 a *huge* upgrade over the AD700 (in terms of...

Hey all, After a year of contentment with my previous recommendations (HD595 and MS-1) I have decided that I need more headphones - in this case, some IEMs - and after hours of trawling the forums, I need some help in making the decision. I've just moved to London and will soon be faced...
