I need cans and most of the stuff I listen to is punk/punk-pop please leave suggestions  

I came to this forum back in march looking for headphone suggestions, and ended up going with the Music Series One from Alessandro. They sound great, but they have a rather odd problem. After a couple months, the left headphone started buzzing when listening to anything with bass. It sounded...

Hi all i have a budget of 500 SGD and this is my above 100 dollars headphones i ever got. I want a good over the ear headphones that are comfortable, preferably portable(if not its fine). I listen to Avenged Sevenfold,Marilyn Manson and Element Eighty. I am eyeing the Sennheiser HD 598(399) it...

I have a digital piano and a Sony SBC HP195 that desperately needs replacement. I already asked some opinions on a dedicated piano forum, but I guess your input could be a valuable addition as well. I understand that reviews are based on usage with normal stuff such as Mp3, stereo etc. A good...

I've never had a pair of headphones over $35. What a pair under $120 that will leave me amazed? I obviously dont need flat response, and would love something with a "Wow!" factor. Basically, whatever headphone that you would use to try to get someone to convert to an audiophile. Thanks!

    Quote:   Hello, I am a new member and I saw that quote above in a thread yesterday and had a few questions.  I looked up the Grados on Amazon but I did not see a choice to buy directly from them only options that say "fulfilled by Amazon".  Is that the same thing?  And does...

I need to get my SR-80s recabled and I'm terrible with a soldering iron. Anyone know a service that does it besides Grado? I don't want a Grado cable, as I don't like them.

I don't have an air conditioner at home, so I usually have this big fan next to me when I'm on the computer. I was wondering if this would harm the open grills in any way. Probably not a big deal, but I figure precaution wouldn't hurt. The fan is about 5 feet away and is on full speed.

Hey, Head-Fiers, hopefully someone can help me here. I'm in an area that prohibits any actual auditioning, so I'm trying to get a handle on the K702's sound signature through reading, as they have piqued my interest and I'm ready to start climbing the hi-fi ladder. I haven't had much experience...

The 2 I'm looking at right now are the ATH-A700s and the ATH-A900s. In general though how much better would $200 headphones be than $100 ones? Is the sound quality "twice" as good or does it not scale that well? The most expensive sound card I'd probably be plugging into it is an ASUS Xonar DG...

I’m curious as to what sort of impressions those of you that have added wood shells to your Grado’s can share about the sonic improvements you’ve netted.  I’m guessing from the traffic in the SR60-mod thread and the post your Grado mod thread that a fair number of folks got wood.   I’m...

Dears,    it's about 5-6 months that I listen the t1 with every genre and I've tried them with different customized amp (F2a Trasformer coupled, OTL and a customized SS). They are superb and almost perfect in every way...   SALDY they don't connect emotionally with me.. it's strange but...

Time for a new thread about this.;)   I am planning to upgrade my headphone setup and go for a solution based on Musical Fidelity M1HPA and M1DAC (or VDAC) together with a new pair of headphones. My original plan was to keep my RS-2s but when I made a long listening test (as a part of the...

There isn't much info about the IGI on head-fi - so I figured I'd make a post.   At work I needed closed headphones which led me to M50's - they isolate fairly well, and sound good - but the "Grado" sound I have grown to love wasn't there. The M50's bore me with their laid back mids, and...

This is something I've kept wondering, many expensive headphones and flagship models tend to be bright (cold/analytical) and laid-back. Of course there is some exceptions but it gets more and more common with that being the case the higher up you go on the pricelist. What is there that says...

I recently got the ALO RX MKII (just paid, waiting restlessly), and am thinking of having a nice full-size pair of cans for them.   I am looking primarily to have this for home use (getting a portable amp so that I can roam from room to room), so size of the headphone is not a huge concern...

I realize this topic has been presented previously... but, with all the current interest in Grados by "nubees"... I thought it might deserve a "reprise." I read in a much earlier post(s) that you could increase the comfort of Grados headphones and tame their highs a bit by several...

Right, I am getting myself right confused over how much to spend and what make to buy. This will be my first pair of 'phones but I want good ones. I always listen to audio equipment before buying, but can I find anywhere that even stocks decent 'phones? Can anyone tell me where I can try...

looking for a pair of headphones. came here to get recommendations, my budget is sgd 350 . maybe can stretch if product is worth it. headphone needs to be very comfortable since im using it almost 10 hours a day. i listen mainly to rock music from the 70s and a bit of heavy metal here and...

This is for all the Grado fan boys out there. From the article picture old John Grado seems to be enjoying himself as much as always. I've yet to see a picture of the dude where he looks run down or grouchy. Any case hit the link below and enjoy.  ...

I know that this thread has been started before, but nobody seemed to find any cheap headbands that you can buy online . I wanted to check if any have been found that completely replace the headband to improve comfort.

Any Grado like closed headphones with very forward midrange. Price range is $200. Something in the ah-d2000 price range. thanks

Quick! Fellow head-fi'ers, help me bring my sister over to the dark side! She called me just earlier today regarding a pair of Bose AE2's which she heard from a friend and now wants her own pair. She listens to mainly hard rock, so the first thing people will scream here are Grados! The search...

I already have a pair that I'm quite fond of, but I was very interested in the opinions of everyone here. Rock on.

Is it true that every brand has its own unique sound signiature?Like that Grado's are "bright"sennheisers are "laid back" and ety's are very eehhm "analyctical". I find this true on the most senn's i have(tried),but is it also true for Other brands or do the future more diverse sound...
