Hi all, i have just got a pair of Creative Aurvana Live wich i will be plugging on my onboard audio for now.   Is there anything i should do before giving them their normal use?

So I just bought a pair of Creative Aurvana Live! headphones and I'm a bit new to sound so I have some questions: How long must I let them burn in before I can notice an increase in sound quality? and is there any specific genre I should be burning this kind of headphones with or should I use a...

Hi everyone :)     I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to headphones, so I'm seeking your help. I need a new pair of headphones, for gaming (mainly Starcraft), and general use. The music I listen to is rock and electronica. I obviously also watch movies :P.     The soudcard I...

I currently own Samson sr850 but im looking for new headphones in 75-125dollar price range.   I checked the guide on this site and only  CAL and koss pro dj100 headphones were available in my country. Would either of them be any better than Samson sr850?   Imo the sound of the Samson sr850...

Introduction   I started planning this review around the same time I joined head-fi and saw how useful multi-headphone comparisons could be for a newcomer. I put my meager (at the time) collection of portable headphones to good use and tested them against each other. What started out as a...

Hi everyone!   I am looking to buy my first pair of over the ear style headphones. I have read through many of the threads on here, and have not been able to decide between a few headphones.   The main uses of the headphones I am buying are for portable use (in a car, train, airplane)...

I am looking to buy some good headphones for listening to music and watching movies at home.   The most important thing is that they have to be VERY comfortable, for long listening sessions. I usually have issues with the headband, so that should be extra-comfortable.   I will use them with...

Hello, newbie here (but have been lurking for a while). Just saw this on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/03/creative-aurvana-ifa-2013/), maybe some people will be interested?     Creative Aurvana Platinum Creative Aurvana Gold Creative Aurvana Live!2 Aurvana Live...

My headphones now are skull candy earbuds and I like them - the are perfect for college as they are extremely portable, however, I think my ears are asking for some better sounding audio )greater then $20 earbuds. I've heard Beats and I didn't think they sounded much better then my SC Titan's. I...

Removed. Not sure what I was thinking TBH.

I believe that comfort when using headphones depends to each person's head size/shape,ear size shape etc.   For example,I see too many comments about the "supreme" comfort of the Sony MDR 1R. I have the Sony's and I also own the shure srh840.It may sound strange,but I find the shures to be...

I was recently in need of closed headphones and curious about what the market offers. I thought I might share my findings with someone in a similar situation.   I am a speaker builder with measurement equipment, so I know what is neutral and undistorted sound. Unlike speaker systems, most...

They Just announced on a press release the new range of models: Aurvana platinum, Aurvana gold, and Aurvana Live! 2   http://asia.creative.com/p/headphones-headsets   If they are anything like the classic Live! headphones (sound quality wise) i'm in! 

I'm looking for a pair of over the ear headphones that have pretty good quality sound for my price range of $40-$100. I am getting these for a friend as a gift so them trying them on prior to purchase most likely would NOT happen. These headphones should be good to go by just plugging in an iPod...

Hello all, I am pretty new to the headphone scene and am having trouble deciding which headphones I should purchase. Now i'm not a complete noob, as I know a few things that will narrow down the search.  Firstly, I prefer headphones over headsets due to the fact that the sound will be...

I'm not starting a bashing thread but just posting some thought for the newer members who missed these back in 07/08. So many people say the M50s are the gateway into this hobby. You younger guys REALLY missed out. These were and still are the best headphones in this range ever.  The M50's...

Hi Head-Fi. I am new to this forum, so pardon my newbiness when it comes to headphones, considering I have used Skullcandy for so long and now found that *gasp* there are better headphones for cheaper (sometimes)! So, I listen to post-hardcore/pop/alternative (A Day To Remember, Rise Against...

I am trying to come up with a pair of headphones to ask for for Christmas. I will mainly be listening to EDM, Rap, and Rock. They NEED to meet this criteria: They need to be very comfortable. They need to have crisp sound quality. They need to be just bassy enough (I want to hear those...

My best friend's birthday is soon and he is an audiophile as am I. Does anybody know some good quality headphones for under $75?

I looked around, and I really like the look of the Creative Aurvana live, and was wondering if some of you guys have tested it in gaming, and how it holds up vs more standard gaming headsets/headphones.     My current headset is a Creative Sound Blaster Arena surround, so if anybody knows how...

Hi All,   I'm looking for my first on-ear headphone. After a few days searching I found some pretty nice. Firstly let me tell you what headphones I'd like. Mostly I will use it on streets with an iphone 4 so mobility is important. It should be closed system and one important thing is the...

First, a preface. Yes I did search, exhaustively.  Mad Lust Envy and The Nameless have great posts.  I haven't found any other posts that are close enough to my request to find the information I need to make these decisions.  If this should be moved to another forum because It slants more...

Hey guys! I am looking for a pair of headphones around 100$. I would be using these at home only so isolation is not a priority. The only thing is sound leak is a bit of a problem. So something with low sound leak is a must. I enjoy all different genres of music from classical to rap to metal. I...
