I'm having a hard time to decide on which headphone to buy. The headphones are the JVC HA-RX700, JVC HA-RX900, and the Sennheiser HD558. These headphones will be powered by my Pioneer VSX-1120 receiver. I have no plans to do any mods on the headphones or no plans to use a headphone amp.   ...

So I got these from a fellow Head-Fi member and I have to say they are very nice beginner audiophile headphones.  They are very similar to the Sennheiser HD-555 in their bass and soundstage.  With the recable of 28 gauge silver teflon wire that I did, I think it brings out the highs a little...

I just bought and received my pair of JVC HA-RX700s, and whenever I put them on I feel like I'm in a wind tunnel because everything seems like it's being filtered or something. I don't have anything playing at all, and the headphone is not plugged in, so it can't be hissing. Does anyone else...

I'm looking for a HP to use with an unamped iPod. I don't have problems with leakage, portability and comfort, but it must have some isolation because I'll use it a lot on the bus.   After searching for a good time at Head-Fi, I still don't know which HP I must buy. I listen to death...

So the plug on my beloved JVC HA-RX700s recently broke (it's bent way out of shape and isn't under warranty, plus I don't think I can repair it myself), which means I'm now in the market for new headphones. I'm still sifting through reviews and product comparisons right now, but I'd love some...

So I've been wanting to pick up some new headphones/headsets, am has been limited to these two. The HA-RX700 has been much praised for its value. However, I can only get them from Ebay for $51 shipped. My fear is of counterfeits although the store is based in the US. On the other hand, the...

Hey guys, this is my first time on Head-Fi, and I'm just getting into decent headphones after wasting money on ear buds for years. I've just purchased a pair of JVC HA-RX700 cans, and have read that the ear pads aren't nearly as comfortable as the pads on the 900. I have also read that the...

i'm currently listening to my fathers jvc ha-rx500s (he picked them up for $5 at camp drum in NY) and got curious so i looked into it. found the ha-rx 700s to be around $35, so i figured i would go for it, but i then remembered that everyone was recomending those philips guys up there. so what's...

I'm wanting them for gaming, music, and other general use (e.g. some movies, a lot of youtube videos etc), and these seem have been recommended:   HA-RX700 HA-RX900 (both of these I've heard can get hot on your ears) XB700 (recommended I use and equalizer) The CAL (crappy build quality...

Hello all!   I've had a RX700 for a couple years now, always surprised at the quality for the price paid but it's pretty beaten up now and I think it's about time to upgrade.  After browsing through a number of threads and asking questions in the general help thread I believe I narrowed it...

I love the sound of the full sized JVC HA-RX700. Is there a smaller (Beats Solo size) but similar sound headphone for around the same price? $40 or so?

What are the differences between these two?  What does the HA-RX900 have that's better than the 700?  Also how do these stack up against an MDR-XB700?

Most of the testing done around here focuses on music. However, being a weird guy, I listen to podcasts all day long and rarely listen to music. Are there certain models of headphone that are particularly adept at reproducing accurate, full sounding human speech? What should I look for in...

Tried my friend's Allen & Heath Xone XD53 dj headphones and realized how much better music sounded and now I'm set on buying some new ones.     I was looking at the audio technica M30, Samson SR850 and the Jvc rx700 and rx900 mainly. Also thinking about the M40fs and possibly the m50...

I have a pair of JVC RX700's I've owned for 4 years that I sleep in every night. Aside from some pad wear, they're in like new condition. This is the kind of durability I'm looking for. Wondering if I should step up to the RX900, just replace the RX700 pads, or go with another option. The...

My HA-RX700s just broke, and I hate buying the same thing twice in a row.. Is there anything better for around $50? I figure since these were $50 when I bought them, and can be found for less than $30 now, I should be able to get something better than them for $50.

Hey everyone. I'm new here, and am trying to decide on a good set of budget headphones. I'd like not to spend much over $50 and had Initially decided on the HA-RX700's but I found the 900's for a little more and figured they would be best. However, after reading a few threads the SR850's seem to...

Hello, I'm looking for a new headphone and I'm about to purchase one of these headphones, as I have read great reviews about them. I need a final word of which one is better.   JVC RX700 or Panasonic HTF600? Why?   I'm not going to use an amp, they are going to be for pc use, I mostly...

I'm planning on buying a new headphone in the <50$ price range but I'm not sure which one would be the best for me. I mostly listen to electronic/dubstep/house/electro type of music, however, I don't want "basshead" headphones as I have heard they exagerate the bass and "overshadow" the other...

Hi everyone!   I am a newbie and basically my requirement is: - Headphones under $50 - Good bass with decent highs and mids - Listen to pop, rock, gospel, hip-hop, rap - Should be comfortable to have on - Should work without needing an external amp - Source of music is a Creative...

First, thank you all for your help in choosing a set of full sized earphones. I started with some cheap Coby's with 40 mm drivers to get an idea of what I wanted in a full sized over the ear set of cans. Feels weird using "cans" since I know so little about headphones and audio equipment in...

I tried a few tribeca wood headphones. The 1st one I got- the "studio" impressed me enough to try the "performance" and the "aviator". These seem to be esmooth oems all the way. I'll got from worst to best here:   1. The performance wood headphones is the smallest,-on ear type. The build is...

First off, I'm completely new to this forum and headphones in general, so my apologies if my post makes no sense or if its in the wrong place.   I've been scouting for a headphones <$30 that will fit my needs of: -Music listening (emphasis on pop/dance/electronic, but I want headphones...

I've used search on the forum, but I haven't found much talk about these headphones. I noticed they use a 53mm driver like  Audio-Technica's higher models, but seem to use a little more plastic in construction. Reviews online seem to also be limited. There is one guy who said they were of...

Technical Pro HPT990 (I realize these are semi-open but ive read they are similar to closed headphones as far as sound leakage goes)   ATH-T400 (Im having a very hardtime finding any information on these for gaming, If anyone can help, please do!)\   JVC Harx700   Im leaning towards...
