Hello everybody....it's been a long time since I've posted here (2 years ago was the last time I think). And once again, I'm looking for some advice.   I own (still own since I joined this website years ago) 2 pairs of headphones (over the ear headphones). The AKG K240 MKII and the Ultrasone...

Alright guys, i have been looking for a good pair of cans under 200$ usd but i do not really know what to get   They need good sound quality, good soundstage, but they have to be closed back and circumaural, but i might consider open back ones if they don't leak that badly.   they will...

I’ve been spending all my waking hours “researching” for a perfect set of comfortable plush headphones it’s becoming a little bit of an addiction. I’ve scoured the net and there are so many “What headphones should I get?” posts that I feel lost. I just want a COMFORTABLE set that sounds good...

*Disclaimer: I am not a true audiophile (although I definitely appreciate high quality reproduction of sound!), and these are merely my opinions. I'm only writing this review due to the lack of coherent information and mixed criticisms I found on the forums. I had a lot of help from other...

Introducing, from the New ''X'' Art series, the ATH-A900X   Hello everyone!   I’ve been a long time lurker on head-fi.  As of this post, I’ve barely contributed 315ish posts over the course of 5 years.  Having been a member for this long, you can imagine how many pairs of headphones I...

Hi, I'm choosing closed full-size headphones, mainly for movies, secondarily for music. I can't say if I'm basshead or not, but I want to feel when bomb booms. But simultaneously I'd like to hear large sound stage. So I expect some compromise is necessary. Also I want isolation, datailed sound...

Soundstage is extremely important to me, which is why I switched to exclusively circumaural headphones. However, I am moving around and in noisy areas alot which restricts me to using closed-back headphones.   So I'm looking for sub-$300 headphones with a closed back and a massive...

I am wanting to make a dac upgrade, when I use a asus xonar dx with o2 and dt 770 / M-Audio av40... also have a brainwavz r1 to use with galaxy s2   when I bought the asus xonar dx I wanted something more for games, but nowadays I do not care for it more, I want something more for music...

I've had my Beyerdynamic DT770 80ohmers for 4 years now and they've been great,but the upgrade bug is biting me and just looking for something new. Open or closed doesn't matter as these will be used on my desktop,my budget is 2-300$ and most of the music I listen too is older metal...

Hello Head-Fi! I intend on getting the O2/ODAC combo and spending $250-$300 on headphones. My initial choice was the DT880, but I've heard that it has recessed upper-mids that make female artists sound a little less than stellar. I'm very unfamiliar with audio and its qualities, so is there...

I'm new here and I'm wondering what would be a good choice for my next cans. I currently own the m50's and am loving them. Unfortunetly the right cup has begun to lose connection. I need some opinions on what would be a good next choice. I need something under 250 dollars, closed back, over...

Hey all owners of Audio Technica's A900x headphones. It seems that their new wings, like their old ones, have issues fitting on some people's heads.   If you find that your A900x tends to slide down on your head, there are a few solutions. I'm pretty sure these mods work on the A700x, but I've...

Hi, I'm planning on buying a good amp... maybe around $300.00 top.   What would you recommend for the best sound quality possible using now the closed ATH A900X and a soon to be bought (next year I hope) HiFiMAN HE-500 ????   I listen to instrumental music, mostly film soundtracks. My...

Hello I have the AD700 while they are amazing for games they lack alot of bass for the music I listen to. My budget is >300. I play FPS games casually so not to picky on the sound direction but I want them clear enough to hear someone approaching. Dont need to be so detailed where I can shoot...

Picked up the Creative Sound Blaster Zx today, and ordered some AD700's. I was thinking using the AD700's for online gaming, then looking for another pair for music, single player games ect. Or do you think these will surffice? 

Hello everyone,   I noticed the ATH-A900X is very under-reviewed on the English-speaking side of the world. Not just by users but by professionals as well (there is only one professional review of the ATH-A900X written in English, and that is by an European website - there are no American...

Looking for really nice closed back headphones to prevent sound leakage. Not really a fan of bass. I mainly listen to metal. I'm not a huge fan of bass. Any suggestions?

Hey guys, brand new to the forums and I need some advice. Bear with me here because I don't know a huge amount. I have a pair of Bose AE2 headphones and they are super comfy, but I really want to step it up with a true audiophile set of headphones and I'm wondering if I can get some...

Do you guys reckon it is worth using a small, portable external DAC or amp with the FiiO X3 when on the move?   Headphones I'll be using: - Shure SE535 - Shure SE315 or something similar - Sennheiser HD518 - V-Moda M80 - Senn Momentum - ATH-A900X   I have a FiiO E12 and can get a FiiO...

Hey, guys so I was looking for new closed headphones in the 350 or lower price range. And there's a looooot to choose from. So I've decided to make a poll, where you can vote for your favourite headset to help me choose :3   Now if you vote it would be awesome if you leave a comment stating...

Hello,   I'm looking for a pretty decent jack of all trades to use both at home and on the go.  I mostly listen to IDM and ambient but also various electronic, indie, hip-hop, classical and more.  I would ideally like to spend less than $300 but my budget is flexible.  It's important that...

I have pretty much decided on getting the ASUS Xonar DGX sound card for my new gaming PC, but I have been looking at headphones for a bit now and hard to decide. I am really a Sennheiser fan, used an HD 280 back in college to edit my post-production work and really was impressed with them. I was...

I found some a1000x earpads for a good price recently and heard that the a1000 earpads are quite nice but it doesn't seem like the a1000x earpads are the same does anyone know if they are better or worse than the a1000's.
