I'm looking for headphones that have the best audio reproduction quality to price under 100 bucks. I mostly listen to movie soundtracks, j-pop and various metal. I currently own the sennheiser 238 and portapros. the sennheisers's vocals sound really soft compared to most headphones and the...

About 6 months ago I found that the Maxell DHP-II's memory foam pads could be used on the DT-235 to convert them from supra-aural to Circumaural. I found that this made them into one of the most comfortable headphones there is. At the time though I had wished the sound was a little better. It...

Hey so I was recently looking at the AKG K514 as an option for some new cans. So far my best headphones are $20 JVC Flats (still great value), and I was looking for a slight step up. The AKG K514's have pretty good reviews and for the price they seem like the best option.. The other option was a...

Hey everybody,   Just picked these up a few days ago and wanted to write down my impressions for you guys.   First off, the build quality is quite solid given the price point although they won't be mistaken for something expensive anytime soon. I find the fit pretty comfortable, the...

Hmmm just wondering, how come there's almost no mention of this classic?  What I wanna know is, how does this old champion compare to nowadays' offerings?  

Hey everyone. I've been looking for a new pair of headphones since my old ones broke. I'd appreciate any recommendations in the 40-60 dollar range. My budget is pretty tight so I probably won't go over it unless it's a really good deal.   Anyway, I'll be using it from mostly my laptop...

So I made my final list for the headphones I'm getting   Koss UR 55 ($50) Sennheiser HD 205 ($43) Sennheiser HD 238 ($55) Sony MDR XD200 ($23) Philips SHP8500 ($40) Beyerdynamic DT 235 ($55?) Maxell DHP-II ($50) Denon AH-P372W ($45) --> white ones look sick     All of these...

Hi can anyone recommend some good headphones in this price range? its for someone who listens to rock mainly but also pop etc. (this is for my sister) Also sound isolation would be nice as she will be using them on the bus etc and durability as well.    EDIT: i see that theres a buyers...

I recently purchased a pair of XB500's from BB since they were on sale this week.  They were great for house, techno, and dubstep.  But they were horrible for ska, pop punk, punk, hardcore, and any other rock I played on them.  I could not hear the vocals in most songs.  When I could, they...

I'm starting to look for Full Size Headphones now...   I'm looking for the best deal under 60$...   I want a headphone that is capable of preforming good in all range but particularly in the bass area :p... That doesn't mean that I don't care for midrange or highs! I ear Deep house...

Hey everyone,   I have read many of the reviews and posts about the headphones i am among to choose from.   the thing is, there is no place i could in fact try them out (i'm in greece), in terms of sound and comfort (fit) so i would like to ask for the help of those who owned or tried...

   Ok, So I have had the K81 DJs for about a month now and it has about 40 hours of play time on it and I got accustomed to the sound. All was well in lala land. I havent listened to it for a few days now, due to pulling some extar hours in the field both in Surveying and Photography and also my...

Right. Am looking for cheap cans. £50 ish or less, pref less. New or used, i ain't fussed.   I guess on-ear because my husband's Superlux 681s hurt my jaws under my ears because they are so flipping huge and envelop my entire skull, but am open to suggestions.   I largely listen to tv...

Well Its been a while, and the upgrade bug has hit me. I have an IPOD touch 3rd gen with a Sendstation dock and PA2V2 amp with the Beyer DT235. I like the sound, but I want more. Now my living situation is such that I just can’t audition cans unless I travel out of the country, which is rare...

I've search HF long and hard but couldn't find any comparisons between the V-Jays and the Beyer DT235. Could anyone comment on their respective sound signatures?   Thanks

Hey guys,   I'm looking for a portable amp that I can use with either my Grado 325i's or AKG701's (sometimes maybe my Klipsch Image X5's) along with my 8GB Sansa Clip when I just want to chill in a part of the house away from my main system.   Two amps I'm looking at are the FiiO E7 and...

Is there a full-sized headphone as comfortable as the Bose Triports? I have a large to x-large sized cranium and my almost 2 year old Senn HD280pro is still too uncomfortable due to the high clamping force (believe me, I've tried all the suggestions to loosen them up with no success). I have a...

I just discovered this site recently and was hoping that you could help me upgrade from my current, mediocre headphones.  I'm looking for a pair of closed headphones with minimal leakage to use (unamped) with my laptop and mp3 player.  I would prefer to not spend more than $80, but definitely...

Well its been a while since I was here and things have changed since my Senn 497s died on me :(   Anyway I am back in the game. I just hit the purchase button on the DT235 with a Sansa Clip+,  and a PA2v2 amp from Gary. From all of my research, I hope this combo lives up to my expectations...

  I'm not aware of many people owning the Koss UR-55, but I just did a mod the other day and I liked it so much that I felt I absolutely MUST share it with everyone. It turns a good headphone into something really great and improves many things. I always liked the UR-55 but sometimes I felt...

Hello, I am choosing new headphones. It has to be portable on-ears (not full). I am also planning to use them outside and in transportation. I dont have requirement, that they should be open on closed(I know the advantages/disadvantages of both solutions).I will also use them with portable...

I know the Grado SR60s are good, but they are open and I can't find them for anything closer than $80.  I'm looking to pick up some headphones for my friend.

I am looking for a pair of on ear headphones to buy for my sister as a christmas present. she will mostly be using them with her ipod. I am looking for a decent all rounder to introduce her to nicer sounding audio. Isolation is also pretty important!   I have found the Denon AH-D501 at a...

Hi   I was looking to buy a pair of headphones as an xmas gift for someone who will be using them for house/pop/rock music. The budget is around 50 dollars. Ideally it would be something portable, and closed style, and comfortable for long hours of wear. I was looking at the DT 235 and...
