Hello,   this is my first post here. before posting, I have read many, many posts to get brought up to speed a bit. I have a lengthy history in 2 channel audio with speakers. I have never had a truly good pair headphones in my opinion. I currently own: Monoprice Premium Hi-Fi DJ Style...

I received my brand new Audio Technica ATH-A900X over-ear headphones yesterday and immediately noticed something was off when I started playing music through them. The left ear cup is slightly louder (maybe 2-3dB give or take) than the right. It's not my ears as I've flipped them around and the...

Hey, I am new to head-fi and need some help with a new headphone purchase. I own the Fa003 and the m50's and the AKG 171 mkii. I am looking for a headphone which is closed and has a movie theatre like sound signature for up to 200$. Any help is greatly appreciated. George

So a guy on craigslist is selling both these cans for $200 all together. I'm gonna pull the trigger on the a900x because I have a warranty slip for them, but I honestly have no need for the ad900..but seems like too good of a deal. Any thoughts? I haven't went to check them out yet.

I have narrowed down my search for a headphone to the SRH-840 and was not able to find any comparison reviews between the two. I am mostly using them for monitoring music production and listening, primarily to electronic music with strong bass. I want a new pair since I feel the A900 bass...

I currently have ad700's with a xonar stx soundcard, and I was looking for a decent upgrade. I love the ad700's alot, they work for what I like, so would the ad900's be a worthwhile upgrade?   any other suggestions are welcome.

I'm in the market for another pair of headphones. My current go to pair are DT770s. I really like the level of bass in them but just want to little bit of an upgrade. These would be for my every day use gaming laptop. I want something that works well in gaming but performs even better in the...

Hello All,   Making a final decision in going for the A900xs or the DT880 250 Ohm. Any opinions are welcome. I also need to find the cheapest place to buy either. Any coupon/price reduction would be nice. Thanks!

So my D2k broke on me and since they are discontinued I need to find a good replacement. Which headphone out there in the 300 dollar price range come close to these cans?

So I have now owned... I think 6 mid fi cans, all said to have linear sound signitures and on overall impression of neutrality. Seeing as I didn't get much help [outside the obvious] I chucked a $500 paycheck into a FURRY of purchases and re sales!   In the end I've owned 7 headphones that...

Hi there, As the title suggests, i have been a lurker for a while and am hoping to learn more about sound. I have had a pair of klipsh image one for the longest time and am hoping to find a new pair and learn somethings along the way Notes: I listen to lots of emotional music ,classical ,and...

Hello ! first of all, im new in the world of music quality and i want to buy a pair of headphones that are comfortable for my music and ofc have a great sound quality, i only hear music in my laptop, and my iphone, no AMP, im limited to buy them from bestbuy so please recommend me a good pair...

Hello. I'm looking for headphones in the 250$ - 300$ budget. Unfortunately I'm pretty lost and don't know which way to go. As an iem i've been using shure se215 which i liked a lot and now i have sennheiser IE8. Both of these are bass heavier earphones. I like the sound signature very much and...

Once again, I am trying to find some sensibly-priced closed cans for use at home, when the use of my open HE-500s or HD600s is not practical (i.e. when my wife is watching television, or in summer when the air conditioning is running at full blast).   The cans will generally be used on the...

Hi everyone, I decided to give myself the gift of awesome headphones this year! I'm new to all of this so please be patient with me. I've been reading around here reviews for several headphones but I'm finding it hard to narrow down my perfect pair. I'm currently testing the M50s that everyone...

So, I've looked all over these forums, and the obvious first-pick for a good pair of headphones for Rock or Metal (my favorite genres of music) are the Grado Labs SR60i and SR80i. I was just wondering, are they noise canceling? I am guessing not, but at the same time I never considered how...

Hi,   Recently I picked up a decent hi-fi speaker system. I got myself a pair of Kef Q-300 bookshelves, a DacMagic Plus, and a Marantz PM-6004 amplifier. This is my computer hi-fi setup.   I realise my DacMagic Plus has built-in headphone amplification, and I'm curious about expanding my...

I have HD595 and uDAC2-HP running from my macbook air.   i want to upgrade the DAC and get a headphone amp sometime too (eyeing the ODAC+O2 combo for down the road possibly)   but should I upgrade cans first or the DAC?   Also considering HD650 over HD600 but doesn't seem worth the...

The title says it all but also does any one know of other possible velour pads that might fit as the $45 for the ad900x pads seems a little high.

Hello everybody,    Sorry for long question..   Would like to get advice in such situation, recently i purchased ATH-A900X (at the moment of purchase i wanted closed headphones), used it for a while with my PC through Creative X-FI Titanium (not HD and i do know it is not top component and...

So I've gotten to love my w1000x, as well as the Audio Technica sound! An now I'm looking at buying a second Audio Technica can :D, so as I'm growing to be a Big Audio Technica fan, I want to know where my fellow ATH lovers are <3 

I listen mostly to classic rock at work on my iPhone through some Shure ear buds. I'm looking for some good cans in the $300 range after borrowing a set of ATH-M50s from a colleague. I thought it was a little bass heavy and lacking in soundstage. I see the AKG K550 (I could swear that these are...

Hi,     I am planning to upgrade my gear (ath-m50 with pico dac amp), prefer headphone for vocal and pop ( mostly is j-pop such as kalafina) I have did some research that some headphones is great in vocal, so there are some option for my gear.     Option 1,  HD 600     ...

Hey Head-Fiers!    im looking for a pair of headphones with preferably a detachable cable. I don't own a amp/dac so that may have to be included within the budget.     The type of music i listen to is hardcore/post-hardcore, alternative, metal/alternative metal, rock, techno, i do...

Hey guys,   I've spent a lot of time in that forum and other websites like headfonia.com to learn about the m50 before purchasing them at 170$ last year in the US.   I really love the sound of the m50 as it excels in nearly everything except soundstage (which I couldn't afford the price...
