I have a Ray Samuels Audio "The Predator" amp that I have hooked up directly to my computer. At home, I've been using this with a pair of Sennheiser HD650 but I'm taking the amp to work and I'll need some closed headphones that provide more listening privacy. I would like something that goes...

Guys, I want to know the most natural sounding pair of headphones you've heard. It kind of means, the most accurate reproduction but not exactly. I mean when the drummer hits the snare and you hear it and it fades out in the right amount of time and you think to yourself "man that's what a snare...

I've got about $350-$400 I can spend on a used set of closed headphones, which I figure should mean $450-$500 new, yes? I'll be using them at work almost exclusively, in a open/cubicle environment (where people have complained about my open phones in the past). I listen to most everything, so...

Largely for budget reasons I'm inclined to buy Ety HF-5s rather than what I had my eyes on, DBA-02s.  And, by the way, the price of DBA-02s just went up to $180 on ebay. Both seem to be good for classical, which is my primary requirement.   Question: what precisely would I be sacrificing by...

Complete newbie to the headphone world. Always had my standard white ipod earphones but i want to get into it. I have looked and looked for my first pair of headphones and sony MDR-XB1000 appeal. Great bass i heard which i mostly want but i want to know if they will be capable of playing rock to...

Well, the title pretty much says it all... he headphones I'm wanting to try are the HD25-1-ii and the ATH-M50 I was suggested, on this site to go with hd25-1-ii because i need isolation and headphones that can play different music varieties. However, Im just afraid that they'll be extremely...

Hey all, new to headphones and trying to find a good headphone for the $200-$300 range--can be used, so like a Grado 225i new 325i used or Sennheiser HD595 or HD600.  Just started my research.    Listed to mostly rock which I understand is Grado's territory.  Some jazz and a lot of acoustic...

Hey everyone, using the HD 25-1 II as a reference, what would be the next step up? I can't imagine having too much quality time with open headphones so closed is a must. I primarily listen to hip-hop, a good deal of classic rock then a lesser blend of metal, techno, alternative and country...

I am looking for a good pair of closed headphones. I have not had much experience with full sized headphones though. Ive gone through 5 pairs of in ear earphones the last month. I lost 5 of them actually, i don't know how. At first I had monster turbines which i loved and lost, lost three pairs...

hey these two seems really equal in price and praise ^_^  they would be a great match against each other. i wonder if anyone had tried them both? any1? im just hunting for fa-004 then i saw these CAL! and they seem really popular as well.   i would  use them at home/portable.. m50 is...

I've narrowed down my search to these headphones, but the fact that they're open has me a bit worried. I share a room with two other people who are often chatting on Skype with friends and who play a lot of games, and I want to be sure that 1. I won't annoy them when I listen to music and 2...

Does anyone have both? How does the planar sound compare to the dynamic driver type sound? I'm really tempted by the HE-4 but the Fischer seems like such an excellent value. I would get the Schiit Lyr for the HE-4 but that amp would be overkill for the Fischer, the Asgard or a variety of other...

And I mean quality, not quantity. The quantity is fine with a good fit IMO. It's the quality that seems a little strange to me. It's not that it lacks detail or definition, but that there seems to be some grain in the upper ranges. This applies to both ER4P as well as the ER4S, although the...

Hey i'm looking to purchase my first set of headphones and i'm wondering which of the 2 would be a better choice. I know the ad900 is open and the fa-003 is closed but i don't really know the advantages of each. I'll be using the headphones at home so i don't really need isolation. I don't...

  The Fischer Audio FA-003   Recently I bought these FA-003s from a fellow Head-Fier, and I feel that it was the most worthy $175 I have ever spent.   As a college student pinching pennies to make room for headphone purchases, I do not have the liberty to buy high-end $200+...

whats their secret. i don't understand how they can get away with it don't they care about making a lot of profit. or do they understand they can make more by selling cheap. anyways i think i am really happy with shure very little companies i know are as good as them in terms of price vs...

These seem to be out of stock everywhere online, no hits on ebay, and all of the classifieds on here are old and expired.  I may have missed the thread, but are these discontinued, temporarily out of stock, or just normally impossible to find?   I just picked up a LD MKIII, some extra tubes...

Just had a question about the Fischer Audio FA-003. I already have the M50's and was wondering how comparable the two are. Would the FA-003's be worth buying to add a bit of diversity to the M50's or are they too similar that I'd basically be buying the M50's all over again?   Like the...

The players: Source - Sansa Fuze through LOD (with Silmic II 220uf 6.3v caps if anyone cares) Amp - Mini3, high-performance version, self-built with stock parts FA003 - 100 hours burn-in, using the leather pads HD558 - 25 hours burn-in, stock foam in place K601 - over 100 hours (all...

Hello I'm new to this web sight so please bear with me. I'm looking a set of head phones for around $250 CAD, that have strong but not overpowering bass, but also withe descent mids and highs.(i listen to alot of different genres) I don't really care weather there open or not but i would...

Hello I'm new to this web sight so please bear with me. Now I own lots of relatively good ear buds but i think I'm ready to buy a really good set of head phones. I listen to just about all genres of music, from dub step to orchestra. My budget is not the largest at only $250.   I'm...

I'm looking for some rugged circumaural cans that will isolate well from loud nightclub pa systems.   I DJ a few times a week at different music venues. (playing soul, funk, jazz, rock, calypso, ska, reggae, Latin, rock and d&b on vinyl)   One club in which I play has it's booth set...

First off, I really like almost everything about my new FA-003 now that it's approaching 100 hours of burn in - the tonal balance, bass, detail, texture and even the soundstage once it's been amped... But this is the first closed headphone I've listened to in over 3 years, and it's giving me...

  Well,   Seams like FA have lunched a new product so I wanted to read a little about it here on Head-Fi, but no one posted anything.   Anybody got some exclusive info or something interesing regarding the FA-010? Then go ahead and post it here :)   Tjek it out here at FA's...
