Hey guys,   Just looking for a good pair of starter closed headphones.   I listen to a lot of different things, but my most played on last.fm is David Bowie, The Beach Boys, My Bloody Valentine, Galaxie 500, Pantha du Prince (leftfield electronica), Pavement, Broadcast, Gang of Four, and...

Hi Head Fi!   Long time lurker, first time poster here. Ok, so, after being disappointed by a few Sennheiser cans (HD280PRO, HD205-II), I've been looking for my first suitable Audio Technica pair from their entry to mid level headphones. I was looking for a pair to use travelling to...

Im having a real problem, in the past year or so i totally gave up on fullsize cans and went IEM due to being unsuccessful at finding anything that made me happy   Im looking for something very comfortable with a low profile, small design, closed back, a short 3-4ft cord, easily driven by a...

I thought I was the proud owner of my first set of good quality headphones. I chose the es7's after reading possative comments right here. On reading about how long it takes to burn them in I came accross a feed about fakes on the Market, thought I'd check it out and hey presto I've been...

I have just got myself a brand spanking new ATH-WWS70. A new addition to the Audio Technica Solid Bass line up. Just like any new toy, I am excited what beholds me when this baby is fully burned in. Straight off the shelf... The ATH-WS70 is slighter larger than my ATH-ES7, sturdier as well...

I'm looking to purchase a headphone case to protect my ATH-ES7s. I prefer if the case has a hard-body but if that's not possible then I guess I can deal with it. My maximum firm budget is $25.   Thanks in advance.

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me with some headphone recommendations..... I have up to $300 to spend on a pair of on/over ear 'phones with these priorities: Must be able to be driven to a good level by an iPod, no amps necessary, Must be comfortable for 2hrs+ of wearing time, for...

Hello, I am thinking of replacing my ES7s which currently are my only headphones. They've served me well but only very rarely do I really enjoy their sound.   Isolation is my main problem with them, I just can't use them at work or on the train without turning the volume way up and that...

I have the Cowon S9 and don't want to buy an amp. I like the sound of the IE8s and the M50. I want something very portable that is durable, comfortable, looks good, and sounds great. Under $150 would be great, considered the Senn HD 25 but the high price, questionable comfort, and dorky looks...

Yesterday the two wires connected to the actual headphones were yanked pretty hard and now I'm getting no sound at all from either side - just spoke to audio technica and they've quoted roughly £40 for repair seeing as how I don't have warranty.   Are there any other new headphones that I...

I've been searching for hours and hours for days and days trying to find the right portable headphone for me and I've had no success. Soo that's why I've come to you guys  Well basically, I'm looking for a pair of portable headphones that can fulfil most, if not all of my criteria as follows...

I am completely inept with electronics; the most advanced mod I've done is the ATH-ES7's headband mod :P   But I have two things that need doing:   1) My old ATH-ES7s need recabling, as the left side has died. 2) My brand new Senn HD-25-1 IIs (apparently) need a new cable, as they...

I have an opportunity to buy a set of ATH-8's (circa 1978) from a local vintage hi-fi shop and was wondering what people think of them.  I always wanted a set of Stax electos but never got around to buying them.  Would these headphones give me a window into electrostatics?  Any comparisons to...

Before anything else... I take no credit for this. The original mod has been performed by -=Germania=-. I was simply curious, and decided to do it on my own pair of ATH-ES7 and took pictures detailing the process while -=Germania=- was giving me much needed advice. What will this mod...

I'm looking for a pair of headphones for use with my sansa clip mp3, to and from work on the bus and walking(I'm in the uk so they really shouldn't break at the first sight of rain), which can then be placed in my bag throughout the day. So it they should preferably have very little sound...

How do they compare? Any help would be appreciated. I am a bass head so I am looking for alot of bass. and the earpads look a bit more comfy than the es7's Thanks again.

I currently have some Bose Triport AE (Over-ear) that need to be replaced (wire coming away from cup on right side... after 2 years use though... so not that bad.)   Can't spend any more than £100. Do you suggest i stick with the Bose? Get another pair?   If not, would you choose the...

I'm really tempted to purchase a portable amp for use with my ATH-ES7s. I think they sound great but am wondering if an amp can provide even better sound. I've been perusing the forums for some time trying to find some clarity on whether it'd be worth it or not. Amp wise, I've narrowed my...

So I'm starting college next week. It's a sound production course. I've been told that I need to bring "high quality" headphones with me. So after a bit of browsing around, and many reviews later, I've come to these. Grado SR60i's. Just wondering, are they any good? Does anybody here...

Hi everyone, I need to find some new headphones for work.  No IEMs or full-size cans please.   I listen to a broad range of music: metal, rock, hip-hop, electronica.  Stuff like In Flames, Blue October, The Prodigy, Aesop Rock, Sigur Ros, Bloc Party, Journey.. yadda yadda.  That kind of...

Hi everybody. I'm new in this forum. i know, i haven't a very good english but i still try to be the more Understandable possible. I've got a pair of ATH-ES7 since over one year and i want to upgrade it . I made a big research on the net and tried a lot of headphones which could be an...

I love my ATH-ES7s to bits, but recently the left cable came undone from the left can.  Does anybody know of a reputable recabling service available in the UK (preferably near London) that can redo the cables?   Before you ask, no, I can't solder and, no, I'm not really in a position to...

Hello,   I currently own the Audio-Technica ES7 and I was looking at the ATH-AD700 on amazon (It is really cheap right now). I have an iPod 5.5G with rockbox on it and a Macbook Pro.    I have a couple of concerns about the AD700:   Is the cable flimsy? The cable near the jack on my...

So, I wanted to find better than my trusty PX-100 portable headphones and took a chance on those ATH-ES7... I am disappointed: 1) These are too small for my ears. These circumaural headphones are probably designed for people with small heads and ears. 2) They are not comfortable. 3) They...

Can anyone here comment on the SQ of these headphones, how do they compare say to the ATH-ES7's or even the AKG's K450, and how big are the ear cups on them, would you say the same as the Senns PX200's
