I just received the HA-02 and completely failed to realize that it only has a XLR input for headphones.  I bought a W1000 to mate with it, but it has a 1/4" plug.  What's the best method to preserve sonic integrity - reterminate the W1000 cable to XLR or would any generic 1/4" female to XLR...

Okay so I know they arent the best headphones but I'd like to get a combo amp/dac for them so my FLAC files sound better at work. I read really good things about the Ibasso DB4. Would this be a good choice? Size is honestly not a factor for me at all so it doesnt have to be "portable." Like I...

I posted this in the general board, but I think this belongs here. Apple's headphones are crap and make my ears hurt pretty bad. I want good headphone that are comfortable and under $100. That's pretty much it. I'll probably prefer over the top headphones. I have an ipod touch, so portable...

Should i get the Shure srh840 or the Audio-Techiniqa M50, Yout thoughts please

Just wondering where AT fans feel the best price to performance ratio is in the AT headphones line up ?

What are the best headphones I can get for up for trance and hip hop? I have a $200 budget.

Im new to high quality headphones, so I have no idea what to look for. My friend helped me narrow down some brands: Sennheiser, akg, grado, audio technica, beyerdynamic, shure, ultrasone. Are there more brands i should look into? I listen to jazz, soul, blues, and some hip-hop and reggae.  ...

Hi, I currently use a HD 555 paired up with Xonar DX. Although the 555 sounds very good while listening to music or playing SP games, I am not very happy with the way they perform on competitive MP games like CS 1.6 or CoD 4. I can hear the footsteps or reloading sounds, but the direction is a...

After talking with the people here, i decided to get the ATH-M50 It's actually my first true nice sounding headphones as my previous one was just an ATH-SJ3 that was bought for pure design :P   I now have it with me but I haven't listened to it yet I'm scared that once I listen to it, I...

I got the ATH-M50s a week ago and I love them. The only problem is that I stretched out the headband to decrease the clamp, but now I realized that I want the clamp back. Does anyone know of a way to increase the clamping force of a headphone?

    Hi Guys…   I am going to purchase a pair of headphones, which are mainly going to be used for gaming and music, mainly for gaming. I have narrowed my choices down to these seven:   Link to AKG K701 White - £199.99     Link to Sennheiser HD600 - £179.99     Link to...

Has anyone tried Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 open air headphones. I want to know if they are comfortable and if the sound is good. also if anyone could compare them to sennheiser hd555's or 595's thx

Hey everyone, im looking for a high end headphone that is engaging with bass (unlike the Denon Ah-5000's)but the correct amount of base, clear and precise, but not overpowering. Im also needing a good vocal expressions. Budget is $700-2500. Here is a list of headphones ive been looking at...

250$ budget.

I received my Audio Technica ATH-W5000 headphones from J&R Music World this past Friday and I wanted to post my listening impressions thus far: Aesthetics & Design: strikingly beautiful design that photographs do not do justice to unless you handle them yourself fairly lightweight for full...

Looking for a pair of portables to go with my Cowon S9 for biking and skateboarding. Top priorities are durability, comfort and sound quality. Comfort is great, but not at the cost of them falling off my head, so stability is big.       What would you recommend?  

According to Musician's Friend, the AD 2000 shares the exact same FR (5-40000), driver size (53 mm) and sensitivity (102 dB/mW) as the ES10. They also both use neodymium magnets. I'm wondering if perhaps they share the same driver? Could anyone please get a picture of their AD 2000's driver...

would love to hear what everyone thinks is the most fun set of cans out there that suits their individual preference. Price is a non-factor so it doesn't matter if it's a $50, $200 or $1,000 set of cans that gets you buzzing. This to me, is purely about going back to the basics of enjoying...

I'm looking for an amp about $50 or less that would would be good with my ATH-M50's. I have a fiio e5, I like it but I feel it only makes the music louder and does not much improve the overall quality. So, any thoughts?

Well, the title says it all.   I need urgent help in finding a pair of CK10s for around 200 $.   Waiting for your replies.   Thanks in advance. 

Well, it turns out I will have to buy CK10 for about 250 $... Now that I have elevated to that price range, I may as well consider SM2. How do they compare?    Two things that worry me about CK10 are: the treble might be disturbingly bright and some people complained about the hardness of...

I think I'm down to these two...   Which one is preferred by head-fi users?
