Hello, I am new to Head-Fi and I am just dealing with the usual crappy Apple headphones at the moment and I got some extra   spending money. So I figured its about time I buy myself some decent headphones any suggestions? I have looked around and I   really like the Sennheiser HD558's...

Hey everyone, Im in need of some new headphones, my bose Oe2's are ok but i want better and im guessing u guys and girls could help me out. I listen to a lot of rock and heavy metal music ,but i also listen to a lot of country. so im lookin for some nice headphones that are durable, sound the...

ive had the ath m50's for a while now, and im just not feeling them like i thought i would.... i listen to almost anything from electronica to country. but when im listening to my headphones its mostly electronica. so it needs to sound good for that.... i dont have an amp, and would prefer not...

Hi All, I am extremely happy at home with my HiFiman HE-400 and grado SR80 but I am still missing something on my portable: 1. Currently I am using some etymotic but I do not want in ear 2. I have DT 1350 but they hurt after a while even with velour 3. I have HD 25 as well and they do not...

Hey guys I'm looking for a new pair of portable closed headphones mainly for rock and abit of metal. My budget is around 300$ at top. They don't have to be super portable like the DT1350 but cant be quite as big as the K550. Another thing is- they have to look somewhat good, doesn't have to be...

Hey guys,   been searching around for weeks now about the m50s and other models for the price range of $100-$170. i was certain i'd be getting the m50s til i read that they're pretty bulky/pads can be hot (i live in a hot country), and can be not the best portable-wise. the headphones...

I'm hoping I can get a little guidance, as I'm in over my head, and out of my league. Firstly, let me say that I am by know means an audiophile, but I am looking to get started down the right path. I'm looking for a decent set of over the ear headphones, and I'm open to any brand. I have a price...

This might have been addressed on here before, but a quick search through the threads on oxidation didn't turn it up.  The question is, if you have an oxidized plug, and you're using that in your source device, and also using it with other headphones, will that oxidation transfer to the output...

  Well I picked up an E11 at B&H yesterday, an addition to FiiO's L9 LOD.  I had browsed the reviews on here before buying and it seemed like a good bang for the buck.  My ideal portable setup would include the Fostex HP-P1, but I can't justify spending that much on a portable amp right now...

So yeah... First of i'm looking for a portable headphones for outside, must be Isolated, I hate it when people hears my music.   But I want those phones to be audiophile cans. It means details, wide and deep soundstage and stuff. the sound signature can be a little bit colored, maybe...

Bowers & Wilkins P5's Review: My thoughts while testing them first day, right out of the box   I tested these bad boys with the following tracks, all in high quality .wav, .flac (free lossless), .ogg and high quality .mp3, followed by a description of my thoughts while listening to them from...

Hello guys, would like to ask your opinion on the matter. Wondering which of the two i should get, im not a DJ nor a professional audio producer, just an avid listner who would like to enjoy his music on the go. I mostly listen to rock: classic rock, alt rock, prog rock, indie, acoustic...

Ok,I know this subject has been talked about AD Nauseum.  I just bought a pair of AKG 271's. I have put about 35 hrs on them. The sound has tighten up a tad but nothing spectacular. The biggest point of contention is the highs are incredibly harsh and make my ears hurt. That and the overall lack...

Hey everyone,   On my search for a portable headphone, I have finally narrowed it down to the V-MODA M-80s, the Sennheiser Amperiors, and the Beyerdynamic DT1350s.  I am looking for the perfect headphone for being on a train, in a coffee shop, etc.  Basically light commuting.  I do like...

Hey all, As the title says, I'm looking for something comparable to my AKG 240 studio headphones, but more portable.   That doesn't mean I'm necessarily tied to the AKG 240 sound.  I've owned them for about 3 or 4 years now, and enjoy them very much,  but I don't have much to compare them...

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 just joined the site and I did so in order to find out what I should purchase...   What I'm looking for in a pair of headphones by priority is comfort. The most expensive headphones I have bought (which are over ear headphones) is the Steelseries Siberia v2, which are comfortable for...

I am in a dilemma about which headphone to buy.. Here is my list:   JVC HARX 900 JVC HARX 700 Takstar Pro 80 (Gemini HSR-1000) Koss Pro DJ100 Sony MDR V6 Sony ZX700   I also considered the CAL!, but it has poor isolation..So that is taken out... EDIT: I've heard that the V6 is quite...

When I'm at home, I use speakers. The only time I use headphones is when I'm on the road or when I'm out somewhere using my laptop. I have a pair of cheap headphones which aren't letting me really enjoy my music. (I like really bouncy edm stuff like gabber/hardstyle, and some dnb/dubstep) So...

Looking at the graphs it has the same response as a lcd2. Obviously as a potrable its not going to be anywhere near as good or powerfull. Don't really want a dark headphone or to upgrade all my stuff just to use it. Something with deep presant bass that isn't overpowering. The 1350 seems just...

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...

I was thinking about buying a pair and was wondering what you guys think of them. Also if you guys can think of any other stylish headphones that are similar and 200 or below tell me. Thanks

Seinheiser HD 25 i ii's or Shure SRH840?

I love my Portapros, but am wondering if there is another portable headphone that outdoes them in the sound quality department, but maintains the comfort, small size and portability. My price range is flexible.

Can you please recommend me closed portable headphones (not IEMs) for classical music ? By that I mean they should be as neutral / non-agressive as possible. They especially shouldn't have overpowering bass / bass boost etc. as my ears are quite sensitive. Basically in this case: less bass is...
