I have about 200$ Canadian to spend on new headphones. I really like the sound of my shure SE215-Ks and would preferably find something like them  headphone sized. I've been looking at the m50s and the a700. I listen to rock and classicalish music.

Hi all,    I could use some help finding some good over-ear headphones please.   So our house has a new baby which means time to get some headphones. They will only be used for BluRay movies and plugged into a Denon AVR-2313 CI...

No, this is not a debate between circumaural and supra-aural. This is about how different brands conform to the head.   So, I went into Best Buy yesterday to try on some cans. It was much to my surprise, and pleasure, that they had several high-performance pairs to demo: the Sennheiser HD...

I am new and looking for a headphone that is best for Alternative Rock that is around $300 and is closed back. I mostly listen to Four Year Strong, Rise Against, New Found Glory, A Day to Remember, and such. I am looking for headphones that would be best for this type of music, I also listen to...

[Writer's Note: First part is mainly flavor, feel free to skip to the 2nd post to actually read content]   See, I always knew there was more out there... something just around the bend that as you turn the corner you get that "Aha!" moment. In that second you realize that you'll never be...

Hey guys! Long time lurker here, and I finally decided to join head fi!    I recently received a best buy gift card with 160$ (so unfortunately im kind of tethered to buying from best buy :/), but i also have some cash to throw down on top of it. And I thought what better way to spend it...

Hey everyone, I'm in the market for a new set of full size phones.   I've read all about and sort of fallen in love with the Shure SRH940 but think the romance is doomed failure if the plastic cracks up - that would completely piss me off after spending the dollars on them!   So, it...

First of all, I must say that when I joined first here, Iv got recommanded the Audio Technica A900X with a good sound card and for be honest, Im 100% satisfied with my gaming rig now. Thank Head-Fi. But I'm still here my need changed a bit and Im currently looking for a pair of IEM that could...

I have a $300 budget and want to upgrade from my JVC RX700s. I generally listen to Trance and other electronic music streamed from Rdio while plugged in directly to my Macbook Air.   I've been considering the following headphones, but I haven't reached a decision:    - V-Moda M-100 -...

So, that's my objective. I currently have $200 for headphones. I may get more sometime, but at this moment I'm not sure. If I do get more, than I'll have $300 to play with, so I'd like to see a sub $300 can shootout. (I did search for one, and didn't see such a thread.) So here's what I'd love...

Hello all, just trying to find a headphone that suits me.   The main thing I'm concerned about is the bass and mids.  I'm looking for headphones with some mid bass hump, but is also very well extended.  The mids I'm looking for could best be described as the mids of the Denon D5000...

My Dad brought me up to audio store today. They had these handcrafted in germany open air headphones German Maestro GMP 240. I was trying to find review but hadnt any luck to find any. Here is some flat review + specs.  ...

Hey guys, I need a bit of advice on the title of this thread. I just purchased the ATH-A900x from Audio Technica, and I have the Creative ZxR sound card installed on my PC. I use the headphone out for the headphones, but I would be very interested in (possibly) getting more sound quality if...

Hey guys, thank you for looking at my thread. I searched around for similar questions but had no luck finding any answers for my specific set of cans with my specific sound card, so here is the question: (quite simple, really)   Will setting the ZxR settings to the 600Ohm setting damage these...

Hi! So I am looking for some headphones that have really good sound, really good bass... I like a lot of stuff like excision and DJ s3Rl and stuff =).. and I want them to be BIG! I do not know why, but when I see really big headphones I love them... I had the Skullcandy Mix Masters and I LOVED...

Hey my name is Spencer Gorman I am looking for a good pair of headphones around 200-500$ I bought a pair of sennheiser hd 558s I absolutely love them. I have a hearing loss in my right ear and I just got a hearing aid so I cant use my earbuds anymore. As much as I would love to use the...

I've been on the hunt for several weeks for a headphone that is both comfortable and sounds good for vocal trance and other electronic music.   I've already owned or demoed a number of headphones in this price range:   Sennheiser Momentum - owned for about a week - loved the sound...

First of all, I'd like to say hi to this forum. I've spent quite some time reading it now, and I've come to the point where I think I do need to post. And to be sure, I did read the announcement saying I should try and refrain from posting these kinds of threats, but I am afraid I am at an...

Hi,   There is a lot of information on these forums and I am thankful for it. Having done my research I am a bit more confused on what I should buy and wanted advice from this community.   My usage would primarily be for PC gaming and movies with some light play on PS3 (I primarily play...

I decided to get a pair of decent headphones for office work.  I use HD598's at home and enjoy them, although I do get some clamping pain unlike most people.   Here's what I need:   1.  Closed 2.  A respectable amount of sound leakage (co-workers are about 15 feet from me through a...

I know this has been asked before, I've searched around...but I have a few special needs on my search.    I'm looking for a decent pair of headphones for my electronic music.  I own the HD600's and think they sound pretty damn good for just about all my music, but I bought my HD600's for...

I love the sound signature of the A900X. I want very badly to be happy with it. But it feels bulky on my head. Don't get me wrong -- it's not uncomfortable. There's just room for improvement. I've done the rubber-band mod for the 3D wings and it helped quite a bit with sliding. Now it's just...
