I have the koss pro DJ100 headphones and want to know what is a better option buying a xonar DGX or a fiio e10? because my onboard(ALC892) is bad, also if i choose the e10 will i be missing features of an sound-card (like open-AL processing and positioning. I'm not interested in EAX or Dolby...

So I might be getting a Koss DJ100 and have been told that getting an amp for them is a really good idea. Do you guys have any suggestions of affordable (preferably around $30~$50, keep in mind I live in Canada so shipping costs are pretty crazy) portable amps that I could look at? I've already...

Hi, i would like to upgrade my koss prodj 100, and i would like some advices of what head would be a worthy investment, Are the momentums much better? The hd 598? If so in wich area specifically. I dont mind if they need to be amped, but comfort is a must. Thanksss a lot.

Hey there, I'm kinda new here and I'm pretty new to this whole hi-fi thing too.   Right now, all I have are the stock iBuds, and these (Sony MDR ZX300). I'm trying to get into this whole hi-fi thing, and it was a suggestion that I buy the Koss PRO DJ100's, and a FiiO E6.   Of course, I'm...

I recently bought  these headphones since I needed a closed back headphone for work since I like to listen to my music loud and my Grado S80i were not helping the cause. I found an fiios e5 laying around at work and decided to hook it up and it makes my tunes louder but the thing hisses and is...

Just got a set of these and whilst I must say the build quality and fit are very good indeed they do seem to be VERY bass light. Compared to my previous 'phones, some HD202's which were obviously very bassy, they seem very weak... I was really expecting these to be a big step up from the 202's...

I've been thinking of buying a set of headphones that I could also use outside, something cheap and sturdy enough to not be afraid of breaking the delicate beauties. But I also want something with clear, detailed, and somewhat neutral sound, because reasons; something close to AKG K240 S (which...

From what I gathered, amps make the sound louder without making the sound worse and might add bass or treble if need be. But if I like to listen to my current headphones at volume <50% most of the time and have a built in EQ with my onboard sound card to reduce or increase specific frequencies...

Hey I just got my koss pro dj100 a few days ago. I had Philips streach headphones that died, and I was going to get Sony MDR xb700. But I only had a best buy refund from the Philips and they don't sell them any more there, so I grabbed them in a rush since I didn't have time.   my first...

Hi,   I'm new to the whole audiophile stuff (and the forum) so I don't have any references for myself (most expensive I've had were sennheiser hd446 but they weren't all that). I searched on the web for what would be considered good phones for my taste and ended up with the phillips uptown...

So, apparently i got large ears. I just got a pair of these headphones as a gift, and it seams i have to poke the lower part of my earlobe in to the cup with a finger when fitting the headphones, or they will start to hurt after 15-20 mins. The upper end of the earlobe is slightly pressed...

Hello everybody, i just got a question and I think this is the right place to ask it.   I'm in a adventure to find the right headphones for me, and Ultrasone has gotten my attention.   I started some time ago with the Sony MDR-V150, those were my first headphones and I liked them, after...

Looking for some advice on closed headphones.  My wife and I share a home office (3 feet apart), and I need something to drown out the little, distracting noises, so I would like something that is sealed well.  I listen to just about anything, music-wise, and appreciate decent sound.  I have...

I listen to trance,dubstep, house, rap music and play games. I want closed headphones. Please suggest me what should I buy?

Hey wassup guys! as you can see in the Title, I am looking for a pair of headphones mainly for listening to metal. Budget: $400 (Well $450 max) And here are the bands that I usually listen to: Amon Amarth , Wintersun , Dark Funeral , Dimmu Borgir , Immortal , Dark Tranquility , Arch Enemy ...

 Hello, still looking into more "possible" to buy headphones.  I came across the AKG K550 while looking for reviews of the headphones and to what headphones I can compare since the only decent headphone carrying store only has headphones the like of the low end Sennheisers and the Shure's, the...

I have been shopping around for the past 2 weeks for a good set of budget headphones for the office. As such it would have to be closed back; I can't stand in-ear. Leaking is an issue, sound isolation is not; it is a quiet office and hearing people talking to me would be more a boon than a...

Looking for headphones for ROCK MUSIC!!!! Must be able to sound great at loud volumes for long periods of time without giving out or losing Sound quality.  Also cord must be detachable and replaceable.  I want them to last for at least two years of daily use.     my budget is $150-300   ...

Hello! I hope this thread is okay. I hope I don't come across as too fussy either!   My Maxell Home Studio headphones broke once again, so I decided to upgrade. I'm in the UK and I'm on quite a budget (around £20-40). I'm also just going to shop online.   I read around for many hours...

I'm no audiophile, I'm just a idiotic teen, so excuse my ignorance...all I am is a lover of good sound. And the destroyer apparently (one side of every pair of headphones I get goes out on one side within month or so of falling under my ownership...dozens so far--most of my family's...I dunno...

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.

So, Im in the market for some new headphones, but I need some advice. I don't know much about headphones, but I like my music to sound good. I have a set of Koss Pro DJ 100s that I like a lot, but now Im in the market for a better set. I mainly listen to indie folk (Sufjan Stevens, Fleet Foxes...

I am not much of an audiophile but I grabbed the koss at a nice price that was available in Canada (usually everything in Canada is way more overpriced or unavailable). Now it turns out they're not good unless I have an amp. I don't feel like shelling out another $40 just so it would sound a bit...

I'm want to start off saying I apologize for creating a newb thread. I just couldn't come to my own conclusion.   With that said I've been scouring the intraweb for a first set of high end headphones.   The only high end phones I own are some Turtle Beach true 5.1 headphones no digital...
