Help!   Hi, I'm thinking of buying my first 'good' pair of headphones, I have used Sennheiser HD205 in the past and am currently using Sony MDR XB500's. I have a budget of £150 ($230) for the best sounding headphones I can get, I will be listening to Hip Hop, Rap, Alternative, small amount...

I am currently looking for headphones... I play pc games and love listening to music at a fairly high quality.   I do have a pair of headphones that i use for both right now, however these headphones are made for console gaming (turtle beach ear force x11's) and they are 2 years old, i am...

Im planning on upgrading my ath-m50's soon, my budget would be around 300 dollars. I listen mostly to rock like green day, audioslave, guns and roses, etc. I personally don't feel the ath-m50 does well in rock because when I compared them to my sennheiser ie60's and it just sounded overall...

Well Ive had my DT-531's for a little while now and I have to say, I wasnt expecting to use them more than I do my Grado SR60i's or HD25 1 II's. But I'm falling in love with the sound they present, Makes a nice change from my usual Sennheiser/Grado addiction I have And widens my listening...

Greetings!   I've been doing what is probably an unhealthy amount of research over the last few weeks, but am at an impasse.   I have a budget of $250 (plus a small headphone amp if needed, if not, I might be able to stretch on the phones). I'm looking for a set of closed over the ear...

I'm planning to upgrade to this from my Senn HD202, i've been at the shop multiple times, hered grados, shures, bayer dynamics, and a few more. eventually i narrowed it down to these 2 I wll be listening to mostly Electronic music, likely techno, house, trance, bit of dubstep , lots of drum...

 I am in the market for something new. I am torn between the LCD-2/3, HE-500 or the HE-400. I have recently been in a closed Headphone stage with my last couple of purchases, but i am ready for a new open can. Any input would by greatly appreciated.   I am a closet basshead no doubt, but i...

Hi all, how is everyone doing?   I currently have Beyerdynamic DT990 premium headphones. I listen to all kinds of music, and use the headphones for other forms of entertainment such as films and gaming. They are fantastic sounding headphones, but, as you all know, we all get too used to...

  Good Morning Awesome People of earth, I posted this is the portable headphone section but some said that full size might be the answer.   Here is my plight,   I've been searching for a pair of headphones online for a about 2 months. The reason I haven't ordered any yet is because...

I love my HD580s, but on some types of music (metal and rock mainly, trance already sounds good in the HD580), they lack some excitement.  I am looking for something to compliment them for these genres.  I do not want huge amounts of bass, but something a little more than the HD580 and a very...

  I've owned almost all the DT770-990 series, and some of them in different impedances. The "old-skool" DT860's takes the cake. I was immediately hooked on the forward mids (yup, they are more forward than the DT880, regardless of impedance), deep, punchy bass (but not as loose as the DT990)...

I'm looking for new headphones focusing on comfort preferably closer to $100($200 absolute max). I'm currently using the BeyerDynamic DT990. I wear them most days for at least 10 hours. The DT990s are very comfortable, but towards the end of the day their weight(close to 300g) is noticeable and...

  I'm thinking about buying the AKG Q701s, the Fiio e7/e9, and one other pair of headphones for portability. Do you think this is a good setup? Also, will my speakers benefit from the Fiio e7/e9s? They are plugged in so I don't know. What about the ATH-M50? the Sony MDR-XB500? Which one would...

Hi all, I am looking for a pair of headphones around $200 so I can play guitar (mostly rock and metal) through my combo amp without bothering my roommates. I have found a used pair of DT 990 (600 ohm) for $200, is that a good deal? I am open to any suggestions/recommendations. Thanks!

Hi all,   After few closed backend headphones, I wanted to try an open one. This will mainly be used at home, with a LD1+ amp. I usually listen to classic rock, with some electronic and more recent indie music. My budget is about £150, I can go higher if really worth...if not I'd like to...

There "IS" in fact a break-in period for these headphones?   My experience:  disappointment out of the box, they seemed quite boomy AND veiled at the same time.  I let 'em burn overnight last night and could only listen to them for about 5 minutes before running out the door this...

I am looking for a very comfortable set of headphones, plain and simple. Obviously they must sound good, emphasis on bass if possible. Portability would also be a plus, short cable a must... Price is open for now. Anything along these lines?

Hi   I've been using the HD 598s for five days now.  The longer I use them, the more they seem to hurt my head. The problems seem to be a combination of the clamping force and the hardness of the padding. I don't have a big head; in fact, it's a bit on the small size. These past couple days...

Hey, I've been thinking about picking up these headphones to supplement my K-701s, because they don't provide the 'punch' I want from some of my bassier songs. Don't get me wrong, they are great, but the force behind the sound just isn't always there. So I was thinking about the DT 990s because...

I am looking for some advice.   I recently purchased a some Beyerdynamic DT 990's for a good price and now looking for a portable/desktop amp +/- DAC to drive them properly. That being said I may be upgrading to Hifiman HE 400 shortly so please consider that as well.    My price range is...

Hello guys. I'm looking to upgrade from my first set of audiophile cans (Grado SR60i) and I'm not sure what to get. I like the sound of the Grados, but I don't have much to compare them to. While I want good accurate sound, I wouldn't mind if my new pair had a little more low-end punch than the...

Sorry folks, this may be a bit of a long post as I am hoping to make the most well informed purchase I can make after my last pair of headphones crapped out and hoping for these to last.   So I went from the Klipsch S4 -> Beats Studio (grad. gift)   And after two years, the left side of...

After two and a half years of use, my Audio-Technica ATH-E37 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00164F1EY/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details   died on me (the left side's wiring got screwed up I'm guessing). Hence, I'm looking for some new cans, and was thinking of upgrading to full-sized ones. I...

Im looking for headphones with good bass, but I still want good balance. I want the mids and highs clear but still with a lot of bass. I was thinking about something like hi-fi man he-4 or 5LE   Any comments or suggestions?
