Hi,   I'm curious about something: I do most of my listening on Westone 4R, ATH M-50s, Grado SR80 and Hifiman RE0 heapdhones. This week a friend lent me some Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones, because I was curious about active noise cancelling. The sound is what I expect from Bose - a chunk...

What's up guys and girls,   I'm totally new here and not quite an audiophile =]   However, as an owner of a pair of AT CKS90 I've entered this journey of enjoying listening to music in joyful ways.   I've been amazed by the quality of the 90's, it seems a remarkable achievement to...

My choice is only limited to Sennheiser, Beats, Phillips and Skullcandy (My country only sold them). I know beats are not a very good choice, they are overpriced with that kind of quality. And Skullcandy? It doesn't match for my mom. Yes, I want to buy one for my mom, she's 40 and likes, mostly...

I'm in an incredibly confusing debate regarding to the headphones I wish to purchase. I own the Klipsch Image S4, and I like the details in bass and treble. However, I feel they're a bit empty on the middle range, and besides they give me headaches (excessive bass & In-ear). I'm searching for...

Does anyone have any experience with the new Polk UltraFocus 8000 headphones?  I listened to them at this years CES and they sounded great.  However, being the inexperienced listener that I am I would like some input from other more experienced listeners at to the quality of these headphones.  I...

I want to buy headphones for me to use in my iphone which I can carry around a lot. I also want a comfortable headphone that doesn't hurt after some time of use (I find beats studio very uncomfortable since they hurt after  about an hour of use), good sound quality, closed so that other people...

Hello all,   I am looking to get my dad some top of the range headphones, where price is not an issue. He is a real audiophile with sensitive ears, but needs to get something for when he is not at home.   He would use them exclusively for opera and classical music (for example: Verdi...

I know one really can't compare nc headphones to high grade closed cans, and even less to open ones. But could headphones with really advanced driver designs present better clarity and quality than high performance closed cans? Take for instance, the Sennheiser PXC 450s are NC, but have really...

Been reading these forums for a while now and have been a great resource for anybody looking for headphones. Now I need advice from the head-fi's out there.   I looking to get a new pair of $150-$200 active noise cancelling, over ear (back enclosed) head-phones for use on city transit. I...

Hi there everyone, I heard there were a number of experts on here regarding headphones, so I thought this would be the place to post my queries. I am looking into buying a pair of (awesome) headphones. I was initially looking in some noise-cancelling ones, as I travel quite a bit on planes and...

I need a new pair of closed, circum-aural headphones for car travel, and I've been searching these forums and found several interesting headphones - I'm just not sure which would meet my requirements:   Good passive noise-isolation Good comfort with glasses Preferably useable without an...

I'm looking for the best headphones under $100 that would serve me well on an airplane. I suffered with a pair of earbuds and quickly realized that I had to get something that would block out the airplane noise. I would go for a noise-cancelling type but I am afraid I would have to sacrifice...

I have a big head and glasses. The only NC headphones that I can actually wear comfortably are the QC15's but they are really expensive. Are there any other alternatives that are wide and have soft pads like the QC15's?     Thanks!

Hi, all. I'm new here. I created my account about 20 minutes ago and In reading over many opinions of headsets I must ask the masses for help in choosing a pair of Headsets. First, a little history. I first started off very slowly in terms of music, MP3 and headphone choice. "As long as...

        From Macnn: "Klipsch has quietly introduced a new upscale pair of over-ear headphones. The Mode steps up above Klipsch's regular pair with active noise cancellation but also promises to fix the short runtime the earpieces often have. Full noise reduction should last 45...

Hi all,   I'm new to the forum and even though I've been interested in good sound for a few years, I haven't actually researched sound until a couple days ago. I recently purchased a pair of QC15s and after lurking around on head-fi for a little while I found that mostly everybody finds Bose...

I take the bus about 2 hours a day too and from work. I currently use a sansa c100 express and some creative ep-630 plugs but I want more sound.   I listen to mostly hip-hop, reggae and R&B and I like bass/deep sounds.   I was thinking of getting the fiido e5/ some m50's and just keep my...

Heya, So I'm currently in the market for a new pair of headphones. I've been obsessively researching for the past week, but keep getting overwhelmed by the sheer number of variables involved, so figured I'd finally stop torturing myself and ask for help. I have a noise sensitivity issue due...

Hello everyone!   I am going to doing some air travel this spring and summer and I am in the market for a set of new headphones or earbuds that I can use while I am on the plane.   I have a cheap Sandisk Sansa MP3 player and in the past I used the ear buds that came with it. Needless to...

Hello there Head-Fi. I've been reading this non stop trying to decide what headphones to get and finally decided to just join and ask. I'm very new to the whole audiophile business so here we go.   I'm currently using a pair of on-ear JVC noise canceling headphones that I got as a gift a few...

List any that you can think of.  I need something that will absolutely block out the exterior sound of nonstop outside noises, chirping birds, air conditioners, nonstop barking yappy dogs, lawnmowers, etc.   No IEMs as I'll be wearing these 10+ hours a day, things in my ears for that long...
