I am in a little bit of a bind. I need headphones to watch film with Dolby Headphone (or something similar). I have read that generally speaking,  the bigger the soundstage of the headphone the more effective it will be in expressing the virtual headphone effect (as in DH). My budget is $100 and...

Hello.  I am an avid house, trance, and dnb listener.  I owned a pair of sony MDR-V600's that i got many years ago as a gift but they broke.  I am now in need of new headphones.  I will mainly be using them at home and wont be using them on the go so size is no matter.  I really am just looking...

Hi,   I like listening to jazz (Eva Cassidy), blues, pop (U2, Coldplay etc). I like detail but I like a natural sound with a nice relaxing listen, open top end.   Which is a better headphone, creative aurvana live, or x-fi or grado sr60i.   Thanks in advance.   Steve.

Hi   I want to spend about 50-70 pounds on some head phones, and have narrowed it down to the   Denon AHD1100 vs Creative Aurvana live vs Sennheiser hd 449   What do people think? Any other suggestions welcome?   Thanks   Laurence

Hello Head-fi'ers one and all. I am MajorWubba, and this is my first post and first foray into audiophilia. I am here to ask for the opinions of more experienced Head-fi'ers in a choice of headphones. My first step up from Apple earbuds was a Tritton Detonator gaming headset, and though it was...

Looking for some advice on closed headphones.  My wife and I share a home office (3 feet apart), and I need something to drown out the little, distracting noises, so I would like something that is sealed well.  I listen to just about anything, music-wise, and appreciate decent sound.  I have...

I listen to trance,dubstep, house, rap music and play games. I want closed headphones. Please suggest me what should I buy?

I want a circumaurul for at home. I have meelectronic ht21 as my main pair now. Great pair of cheap portables. I switched out the earpads. I use headphones with my iPod touch and normal size music(Idk bits). I listen to all or most genres: classical, rap/hip hop, electronic, ethereal,symphony...

Hi   As you can tell by my last post I'm an audiophile noob.    After looking around for a while, can someone tell me if sony XB400 will suit me?   -Im a total basshead -I like super comfy headphones -I listen to metal, dubstep, and rock   Any advice will help me 

I'm in no way an audiophile (very clear after you read this post), but wanting a decent pair of headphones I did a bunch of research for a couple days and completely overwhelmed myself being as it was the first time I heard any kind of "in depth" audio terms.  But anyways, I wasn't interested in...

I'm looking to buy new headphones to wear when going out and comfort is a must. I currently own the M50's and find them to be bulky and uncomfortable and can't wear for more than an hour. I've been looking at the Sony V6's since I have DT 250 velour pads and I've been reading a lot of good...

I need some help and i'm new here so please excuse me if i label things wrong.  I am looking for a set of headphones that are to be worn on a charter bus and in hotel rooms.  I travel a great amount.  Must be comfortable for listening up to around 6 hours at a time. I will be using these with a...

I have been shopping around for the past 2 weeks for a good set of budget headphones for the office. As such it would have to be closed back; I can't stand in-ear. Leaking is an issue, sound isolation is not; it is a quiet office and hearing people talking to me would be more a boon than a...

I just recieved the "Sony MDR-XB300" cans I bought for my 9 year old boy to go with his iPod Touch as he's beginning to take after me and I want to give him a little start and nudge into the world of audio.   Anyways.... I bought these on ebay knowing its always the flip of a coin.   Im...

i know thts cheap but im saving for a new laptop so i cant spend much. my in ears are sick but my overs hurt my ears. any suggestions?   i listen to classic rock and metal, and dubstep. so they need good bass, but also clear mids and highs.   I'm fine to go a little over but not a ton...

Hello! I hope this thread is okay. I hope I don't come across as too fussy either!   My Maxell Home Studio headphones broke once again, so I decided to upgrade. I'm in the UK and I'm on quite a budget (around £20-40). I'm also just going to shop online.   I read around for many hours...

hey, can some one please suggest me some good headphones for movies and gaming. i have cosidered buying 5.1 headphones for my laptop. if ther are any good please suggest my budget is around 100$ and i need perfect surround sound with good bass.

So a few months ago, I was set on ordering the Panasonic HTF-600s. I was listening to mostly bass-centric, electronic music and the 600s seemed like they could fulfill my needs. While I still listen to a fair amount of electronic music, I believe my preferred sound signature has changed along...

I'm no audiophile, I'm just a idiotic teen, so excuse my ignorance...all I am is a lover of good sound. And the destroyer apparently (one side of every pair of headphones I get goes out on one side within month or so of falling under my ownership...dozens so far--most of my family's...I dunno...

Hey guys.   First ever non cheapo cans was a pair of Sennheiser HD 201's. Loved the sound quality vs. cheapos, but they hurt my ears. I extended the pads away from the base, and I guess I have large ears, as the circumference seemed to be too small and caused ear pain after about 20-30...

Hello!   I currently own a pair of Astro A30s which I use with an Asus XONAR DG soundcard for games, movies and music. I've decided at last to upgrade my headphones to at least a newby-audiophile standard, and think that the Beyer DT 990s would serve me well.   I'll probably be getting...

So I had the Denon D2000 for a year and while it's a great headphone, it just isn't that great in everyday use. In particular I experience a lot of listening fatigue due to the sharp highs.   So I need a change. What I need from this headphone if I get it is less bright highs, perhaps a more...

Beyerdynamic DT770

I'm interested in buying some good quality headphones for around the $100 to $150 price range. I've been searching and have found the Audio-Technica ATH-M50S to seem to be pretty good. My question is - What's the best headphones I can buy for my price range?   Note: I mainly going to use it...
