- Budget $250 - Inputs will be onboard sound for PC, MP3 player, or hooked straight up to the audio jack of a TV set (please stick to these parameters and don't recommend me get an amp or sound card or whatever...Yes, it's a weird situation, I know...) - I want something that will be...

Note: The title of this post probably informs my audience enough to give a recommendation so feel free to skip my post and come forward with a recommendation on whether I should get the Creative Aurvana Live or something else.    So anyways I started my journey (as documented in my earlier...

So i've been on the market for a pair of decent headphones (on a budget).   After hours of research and recommendations, these 3 headphones seem to come up the most.   JVC rx700 (People seem to choose these over the rx900 but I don't really understand why..)   SAMSON sr850  ...

  Hey, I'm stuck between these two headphones, which do you recommend and why? I'll be using it for music (rock/rap/dubstep) and gaming. Thanks.   Kicker HP541 vs. JVC HARX700   Links: Kicker...

Both times were completely my fault. The cable was dangling on my desk, caught my chair, and as i turned around, the piece that connects the 'phone to the band broke. The sound still works fine, but hot glue only does so much. Anyway, it's now uncomfortable. This happened once with my first...

Hi im new here and needed opinions on which headset its the best one for rock/alternative/metal in the $50 range.

Or are stands mainly just for looks?

Well,my Creative Fatality headset that was going strong for 3 years has finally died.I've been doing A LOT of research lately.Learned about closed/open headphones,the truth about ''gaming'' headsets and 5.1 surround sound and whatnot.Gotta say it's pretty interesting learning all of these...

Just looking for something to go with my new laptop (that sucked up my budget). Probably use for all tasks including gaming. Just want something comfortable since I might throw in some dead earbuds underneath with an in-line mic for a cheap headset instead of my laptop built-in mic.   So far...

I know...I know...the JVC HA-RX700's have been done death in other threads, but I wanted to start this one with a fresh perspective of observations to unmodded-unaltered headphones. Also would like to find out specificly your listening observations through which equipment is being used; the...

Hi guys   Im sorta new here, but looking to get a new set of cans - JVC RX700 or Audio Technica's AD700.   But at the same time, i will need to upgrade my onboard sound card. I am running an ok motherboard Gigabyte X58-UD3R with decent onboard.   I am looking at the Xonar D2X or...

Hello, I'm new to Head-fi (just started browsing yesterday), and I am looking to upgrade the audio setup on my computer. I use it primarily for gaming (not extremely competitive) but movies and TV shows are also something to consider. I really don't listen to music at all.   I'm currently...

i am looking new headphones to use indoors. i don't want to use my in-ear headphones at home since it gets too uncomfortable after long times. i would really like to be as close to $100 as possible, maybe a little over if needed. i have looked at headphones such as the sennhesier hd555, hd518...

Hey all, I've been lurking for a bit, but I really need some help. I have a nice pair of IEMs already, but wanted a pair of full sized headphones for around the house. I'm looking to spend around $50, listen to alternative and hard rock mostly but comfort is also a big deciding factor. Anyone...

First thing I am not an audiophile, I have had the following and been more than happy with them   Grado SR 80's Sennheiser 555 JVC xr700   I am basically in these 770's for 35 bucks.  I traded a phone I paid 90 bucks for them and 55 bucks.  I have not received them yet(did the deal...

Hey guys, Lurked here a bit but this is my first post.  I crunched my ha-rx700's and they need replacing.  I have a BIT more of a budget this time around, up to $70, and I'm wondering if there's a better choice compared to the 700's (which I did love).     They need to be suitable for...

I've been pulling my hair out lately, trying to find the perfect cans. I just bought the Koss PRO DJ100's from BestBuy, and the Creative Aurvana Live's from Amazon (they're on sale for $60). Neither do what i was hoping they would do for me.   After hearing the Klipsch Image Ones at Best...

Hey there Head-Fi, just starting out here. As a lot of people, I've recently wanted to start in audiophile quality.  Just a few options on what I should pick as my first real headphones. Most of these are based on what I think it is, but lots of other people's opinions as well.  If you have a...

I'm a fairly casual gamer and huge on music, and only recently have I realized that I'm probably not enjoying my music as well as I could be, so I'm looking to get headphones and a sound card for my computer. Could anyone help me out?   As far as gaming goes, I play rts here and there and...

Hey all,    Ill try to keep this short, but as a short introduction, Im trying to find some good started full size (portable or non) where I can get a better judge as to what Im looking for in a headphone. While the descriptions and headphone terminology are helpful, reading about and...

Thanks to this site my first pair of decent on ear headphones I put on my head were JVC RX700's, and my first pair of actually good headphones were Shure 840's. I love the 840's and they've made it really hard to listen to the 700's anymore, but there's still a couple of things I miss about...

i want to plug my FiiO E5 into my xonar dx and use it with my ad700s and rx700s, but my question is   How do i do this, what volume settings should i use. and could the E5 damage my headphones?

Didn't see much on these when I searched but L&M has them on for half price right now and I was wondering if it's worth it, anyone heard these cans?  Any impressions would be good as I don't have a great set of full-sized cans.  Don't have an amp as of right now so would I also need to purchase...

After scouring for reviews and finding none, I snagged a pair about a week ago on the seemingly high level of faith in BD's lower end stuff. I've been rocking them for a few days and have been quite pleased. Though I'm not sure how 5 years of HD-202s and eh150s (same thing, I'm quite sure) may...

Someone gave me a pair of JVC HA RX700's, i read a lot of reviews saying these are really good. I'm finding that there is very little bass, and the sound quality is scratchy when listening to FLAC. Also I can't listen to these at higher than mid level for more than 10 minutes or my ears start to...
