To use with HM-601 or Studio-V into Graham Slee Voyager   ES10s are expensive and hard to get in the UK, any fakes out there?   Must be a noticeable upgrade to ES7   help!!!!   or ES9??

I'm not sure that what I want even exists, but here it goes. I work in a silent environment and need it to stay that way. I've owned several sets of IEMs and just don't find them comfortable. I really want something full-sized.   I know closed-back headphones are generally best for this...

The title says most. I am wondering, what you would get, if you were me. The budget is around 350 dollars, and alternatively I can get my money back on my new dt-880, which would get me approximately 350 dollars extra.   I would really like a CIEM, but i am only 17, so i guess it would be...

I've been in search of some portable on-ear headphones, with the main criteria of being fun to listen to. I've owned a pair of HD-25's, that I regrettably gave to a friend, which I really enjoyed and now looking to replace.   I'd go for the same again, but I thought I'd try something...

I seem to post quite a few threads asking for advice on headphones, even though I read a trillion reviews around here. Anyway, I'm thinking about getting the Audio Technica ATH-ES10 for Christmas as I don't have a pair of high end (not ultra high end like the Sennheiser HE90) over-ears. I've...

I realize there are a good chunk of threads comparing the Sony to the Sennheiser (and kind of leaning momentum between those two at the moment), but not with the two AT's which kind of intruiged me. Others that may edge these out, for my purposes, are of course also welcome to be mentioned. I...

My portable gear is simple-a Sony A-Series Walkman (data is .wav) and Shure SE535 Special Edition.  I'm interested in making the transition to a portable closed-back headphone, and would like to request suggestions based on personal experience.   I'm looking for a portable closed-back...

I'm looking for an affordable (desktop) headphone amp (< $250) which I connect to a phono stage. The headphone amp should have a stereo pre-out to relay the audio signal (with minimal loss of sound quality) to my Dynaudio Xeo's transmitter box. I don't need an integrated DAC. My headphones...

Hi all,   I've been around for a while now and I am the happy owner of some ATH ES-10. I've been looking a bit in the threads here, but I couldn't find something very conclusive about what I'm looking for:   Is there any mod concerning the pads for this headphones that would do the 2...

Through recommendations and slight research I've decide on going for one of these 2, but which of the 2 are better? I'll be using my iPhone as my music source, for rap/hip hop/DnB, like bass and will sometimes use them on the go. I've also been suggested D2000 and D5000 but apparently they're...

Basically I want something decent, for around £250 or less (think around 400$?) for rap, hip hop and DnB. With good bass, and just clear. I have no experience with headphones or sounds so don't knock me for my lack of knowledge haha! Listened to Beats and thought they were okay but not for the...

So my buddy just bought himself some Dre Beats. I asked him what his price limit was and he said $300. I asked him if he wanted an amp and DAC and he said no. He also said he didn't want to walk around with an amp so... Not sure where to go with this. He wants to use his phone for music and...

As I'm leaving for university, and giving my ATH M50s to my sister, it's time for new cans.   I'll use them in my room, alone, for music mainly (jazz to rock to electronica), then films and gaming. Good noise cancellation. Comfortable for long hours.   Price 400 - 450$. No need for...

Hello everyone,   So, I am looking to purchase a new set of headphones, and I was hoping I could get some advice from the knowledgeable members of Head-fi.org.   Here are the details: I have had the ATH-M50s for ~ 2 years, and I love them. They are great. A need another pair of...

Hey guys, it has been quite a long time since my last post! It's good to be back    I purchased my Audio Technica ATH-M50s in December 2011, and would consider these to be my first purchase for 'true' headphones. Prior to the ATH-M50s, I had exclusively bought gaming headsets from...

Hi Everyone,   So I'm trying to buy a pair of headphones that can have a max cost of around $370 or so and have no idea which ones to get. To be honest I want to use them for more daily use. For those of you wondering why I might spend so much on daily use headphones its because I have the...

Long story short, I've been looking for some nice portable headphones.  Originally, I was looking for circumaural headphones, but feedback on the forums confirmed my suspicion that portable circumaural headphones aren't particularly common, and have decided that a comfortable set of supraaural...

What I'm looking for a is a minimalistic type of headphone.  The kind like Grado, Urbanears Plattan, HifiMan HE-xxx, ES7, ES10, something along these lines.     I was about to take the plunge on the Grado, but then I found out they use foam pads.  I'm looking for some sort of isolation...

Hey again Head-Fiers,   I am looking for a portable on-ear or over-ear headphone that will be perfect for being on a train, being in a coffee shop, etc.  Basically light commuting.  So here are the factors that matter to me: portability, actually not complete isolation (I need to hear what's...

Hi! I've been a long time member here. It's been more than 5 years since my last post. I'm looking for the very best headphones under $500 or $300. I've had 2 Grado's SR60 and a Grado SR80 thanks to your recommendations. This time i'll like something closed, to have a change from open air. I...

Hello everyone,     My Vsonic GR07 MK2 / Visang R07 MKII flagship updated James Bond whatever version is on the way and this is a placeholder for a review.     I'm quite excited about the look of the cable, this is the first time I've been excited about a cable!      ...

I've been looking at the Headphone Buying Guide for headphones around $300-350, but there are multiple options for my price range and I frankly don't have enough experience to know what would be the best to get in my situation. I'd prefer closed-backs unless there are fairly quiet open-backs (it...

Yes I am a basshead and when i got my beats by dr dre studio for christmas i really liked it. but i noticed that on some songs that the headphones sounded harsh and unclear. although i still really love them, I was wondering if there is something much better than Beats studio by clarity and how...

  Hi everyone!   I have been stalking the forums for a little while, and really want to get a good set of over the ears and an amp for personal use listening to music on my computer, and on my ipod when I travel.  My budget for a line out device for my ipod, a dac/amp, and a good set of...

Greetings fellow music lovers   I recently got myself a pair of IEMs - the Monster MDT's - and I'm loving them so far. They are very enjoyable to listen to - very "alive" sounding and offer me a great option when I want ultra portability. But I can't help but feel something is missing...
