hello all headfiers...im totally new here..my first...i did alot of research before signing up because i couldnt really find wat i was looking for... im buying one pretty expensive can>> sony mdr xb700...yes...im not at all near to any audiophiles.. im just upgrading from stocks...i will buy it...

I've been browsing through these and other forums quite a bit and have not been able to decide on a suitable pair of headphones for under $50. I don't know what i'm doing so you'll have to bear with me, but two phones that i've found decent are the JVC HA-S700 (like, $30 shipped) and the JVC...

These will powered with an amp/dac (still not sure). My main concern is that I don't having a dedicated sound card and I can't afford to buy one unless I downgrade my headphones/ amp/ dac.   I want to use these headphones mainly for music and gaming. I listen to hip hop, rap, trance, techno...

Ok, so my rx-700s broke a couple days ago and I'm in search of a replacement. I'll be using them on my computer for pretty much everything that requires audio. That includes all kinds of genres of music, games, movies, etc. If anyone could help me out, i'd appreciate it. Preferably keep...

Couldn't find a thread similar to this in search, so thought I'd make one myself. I've had the HD201s for some time now and am thinking of upgrading. The music I listen to is mostly experimental electronic (Aphex Twin, Autechre, etc.) and hiphop, mostly instrumental. My budget would probably...

I bought the AD700 (they were cheap) like a month ago but the rx700 still sounded a lot better. The AD700 sounded very airy and had an excellent soundstage, but I mostly listen to rock and techno music. - these two things don't synergize for me very well. I missed the bass of the rx700 and the...

I'm looking to get some decent headphones. I'll mostly be listening at work, so want something that doesn't leak sound. But I'd like a set that will be good for gaming too. Budget is around $150-200ish (INCLUDING shipping to Australia).   I was thinking of getting the ATH-A700 from a local...

FLASHBACK: I was watching TRANSFORMERS BLURAY on my PC and was using cheap cx180 in-ear headphone. I was too surprised and very impressed with sound coz it gave me a really new experience of watching movie .              I started looking a better headphone for my boomy movies and after a long...

The adjustment on the right side of the headphones slides way too easily, when I put them on an slightly pull them down the right side will slide down! There seems to be screws on the inside but they are inaccessible. Is there something I can do? maybe carve into the grooves on the metal or...

Hello all, my first post on the forums, though I've lurked for months. Recently I've come into a steady stream of extra cash. After extensive research I've come to the conclusion that for my musical tastes (Piano, Orchestra, female vocals, general obsessiveness over detail, etc.) the AKG...

Hey I just joined the forums and just got my first headphones (JVC HA-RX700). Oh and I'm new to this forum, referred to this forum from Overclock.net, where I spend most of my online time    Sooo...what do I do now? lol What do I buy next?

Has anyone tried these with an amp and found that they benefit from one ? Even a portable one would be fine , I'm just wondering since there aren't many amp-related threads about this little gem .

I have long championed the jvc rx700 as the budget king full sized headphone. No other sub 50$ full size (notice i said full size mr portapro/px100/etc " class="bbcode_smiley" height="" src="http://files.head-fi.org/images/smilies//smily_headphones1.gif" title="" width="" /> ) headphone came...

Hello everyone (I am new to this forum ),   I recently purchased the JVC HA-RX700 (waiting for them to arrive). I am pretty excited and also purchased the zalman clip on mic to use for msn, skype, and some gaming. Does anyone else have this combo and could take a picture? Also, in terms of...

Hi there. I finally decided on my new headphones (I hope :P)   As you can see from the title I listen to metal (mainly, but I also listen movies's sound tracks, some hip-hop and classic music one in a while). Is there any difference between the two JVC that would suggest me to buy a pair...

i watch paladia and sometimes vh-1 every morning and i'm wondering how good my headphones really need to be. i alternate between my ms1i and ha-rx700's running through my home amp. i'm just wondering if a headphone up-grade is warranted by the source?

I need some headphones basically for just editing videos at my school. We currently have Sony V150's, and I hate them. I currently own M50's and MS1's but I do not want to take them to the school everyday. I just want a pair that will be there everyday and I will not have to worry about taking...

Hi guys, I want headphones purely for gaming and I can spend up to $100. My problem is that my soundcard is onboard and I don't have enough money to get both a soundcard and a headset. I read that the ATH-AD700 are pretty good, but does that hold true even when the soundcard is onboard? What...

As the title states, I'm looking for my first good set of full-size cans. I've got Koss KSC75s, Portapros, and JVC HA-RX700s, but I want something high-end. I'm used to IEMs and my main set are Etymotic HF5s (with a 100 ohm impedance adapter). If I could get something as good as or better with a...

Hey, I'm a bit new to this scene and after years of sub par audio equipment I took the plunge into some audiophile "Approved" headphones when I purchased my HD201's as my first entry level cans. For $20 I got a hell of a deal I must say. This leaves me in a bit of a fix; however, I'm a little...

Hi guys, I was wondering what some people would recommend for a good pair of headphones and maybe an amp for around 200$(I can go up to 250$) for both. I plan to use it for gaming and music. Mainly FPS like battlefield bad company 2 and I listen to rap, alternative, hip-hop, R&B. I was...

I recently purchased the JVC HA-RX700's and I noticed a buzzing sound in the background when I plug them in to my computer. I was burning them in last night, could this have screwed up my headphones? Or is this a problem with my computer? Help is much appreciated.     Edit: I forgot to...

I have a problem with my headphones, HA-RX700. Whenever the jack is fully plugged in to the computer the sound becomes distorted, and it isnt possible to comprehend any voices. The headphones have done this ever since i bought them.Does anyone know how to fix this?
