I am thinking of getting some good headphones in the range of £100 - £200, i listen to mostly alternative rock and jazz but i sometimes listen to some dance and techno. i am looking for some headphones that are pleasing on the eye and have very good sound quality.   I am not a sound engineer...

I wonder if anyone knows if there is any decent headphone shops in central London. I wanna try out the new Westone 4.

A friend of mine just bought a Hifiman EF2A amp/dac, and when him and I hook it up, no sound goes out to his grado sr125i's.    He's using a laptop with with windows 7 64bit if that's of any use.    Windows seems to identify it, but doesn't output any actual sound.    

I have a dilemma, here is my current set up,   I have a turntable and a diy preamp, and a quad 405 and some nice KEF speakers and a pair of Grado SR80is,and a huge collection of digital audio in FLAC which I play through my Presonus audio box(also used for recording).   I am looking for...

I am completely new to the world of higher-end headphones. I've been researching for a while, hoping to find a mid-priced option to upgrade from the standard Apple/Sony headphones I typically buy from a box store.   I ended up deciding on the Grado SR-60i, but then found a used pair of...

Ok, because like a complete *****ing moron I accidently clicked on a link in my email which caused me to navigate away from the "Post New Thread" page, my original 10 page dissertation has now been rehashed to this short blurb. I swear, it's more annoying than when you try to go to the HeadRoom...

Having in the last 3 months bought a new pair of behind-the-neck on-ear headphones (ok-ish, poorly built but decent sounding Sennheisers. A part of the band actually split, though the sound wasn't affected and the issue is remedied with a combo of superglue to prevent further breakage and black...

I previously owned a pair of Alessandro MS2i's but found them to be a little fatiguing due to their all metal construction, the weight simply made long listening sessions uncomfortable.  So i'm thinking of picking up a set of Alessandro MS1's or Grado SR125's and an amp.  The only question I run...

Hey all,   I'm back again but this time looking for advice on which set of can's would suit me best in my dorm room watching shows, or walking to class. I'm a person who loves music as a whole (i enjoy when i can hear individual parts of songs), and so if one of these headphones does that...

I need some headphones that sound good but that I can toss into my backpack. I was thinking MS1's but apparently they are too fragile. Are SR60i or SR80i tough enough to be tossed into my backpack with some care? If not, what else do you recommend? And how fragile are the MS1's compared to the...

Hello all, this is my first post on head-fi.org so sorry if I lack of precision and sorry for my bad english (I'm an Italiano guy).   I'm going to have a total audio hardware upgrade and the first step to it is the choiche of the headphones. In these years i just owned a crappy pair of...

I recently just got my pair of SR-225i from Amazon after ordering them yesterday (those guys are freaks at super fast shipping, holy crap)   First things first: I was originally expecting them to sound worse than my vented and dampened SR125s simply because they aren't broken in, but right...

I've sent them to Grado twice to have the cables replaced, paying $45 + shipping each time.   When I get them back, they're in pristine condition, but the cables fail shortly thereafter (less than a year). I use them daily, but it's not like I'm a sound engineer, using them 10 hours a day...

I sent this as a PM to Billavideo, however he doesn't seem very active as of lately so I was hoping for some outside help =)   I was reading a thread about making the SR325is sound better and I came across this post.   Quote:     Naturally I don't value sleep so this sound very...

Will this headphone be overkill when paired with an ipod? The types of music that I listen to are mostly indie rock, Depeche Mode, Portishead, Radiohead etc and a bit of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Muse. A mixture of rock, metal and some electronic. Will this headphone be suitable?

I've been in a massive internal conflict to decide if I should keep my Grado SR325is headphones. The problem is definitely not the sound, but the portability. I really need something I can lug around with me on bus commutes and not look completely idiotic wearing them. The Grado SR325 design...

Everyone seems to say the 225s are the sweet spot in the Grado line. Help me pick between the 225s and 325s! I already have the 125s and love them especially now that I have a true USB DAC headphone amp.   Do the 225s really deliver a killer low end that the 125s seem to lack sometimes? I...

I love both of my  Triplefi 10 and grado sr125i but they sound so different. I know i can't compare IEMs with almost full-size  headphones but they're just not normal differences between in-ear and open back headphones. Their signature sounds were like cyclops and batman. According to my ears...

Hi, I am new on this forum but I've been coming here many times, to look at headphones reviews. I am asking for your help today because I'm looking for some Headphones with a maximum price of 200$ (or slightly more), and don't know what to choose.   I always listen to music on my iPhone...

Hi Guys,   Kinda new here (my first post, although I've been reading tons of posts before writing this one...).    I'm in the market for new headphones, and I'm really not sure which I should buy.  Currently, I have the Sennheiser PX100 (which I REALLY love) which I use mainly with my...

Hey guys, I'm Matt and I'm new here.   I have about $160, and I'm looking for my first pair of decent headphones.    I plan to use them for listening to music/movies and also plugging into my guitar amp, and gaming. Music I enjoy is all classic-rock, and stuff from the Beatles and...

Take note that one is the old, non-i version (the SR125) while the other is the updated version, although a step down on the product line. Assuming that I can get either for around the same price (perhaps the SR125 is slightly cheaper), which would you all recommend?

Well I work in a cubicle environment, and listening to music or watching a movie is what I do 90% of my day, and I've decided that I need some decent sound quality in my life. I listen to quite a bit of hip hop and rock and roll and do enjoy a good bass sound but I don't need to focus my...

My apologies if this gets asked incessantly, but I don't know what keywords to search for   I am looking for some headphones to replace the POS earbuds that came with my sansa MP3 player and also to use on my computer for music/gaming.   Recently I learned that the type of music is a...

Opinions? Also I am open to other suggestions, if there are any. I'm looking for something around that price, probably a bit cheaper. (200ish) Genres: Punk Rock, Rock, Blues, Folk, Indie, Dubstep.
