I have been looking for the right headphone for quite some time and I'm abusing the leniency of Best Buys return policy.  I am looking for an over ear headphone.  I would like Noise Canceling (but I would like them to work without a battery if it runs out or its not on), a single removable 3.5...

I was given a pretty cheap pair of skullcandy headphones a while ago and they recently broke. I am a bit of an audiofile and I'm looking for a pair of replacements anywhere less than 300 dollars. I have been doing research and narrowed it down to either the AKG K550 or the Audio-Technica...

Hi guys,   I'm looking for a bassy headphone, but the mids and highs should be good as well. You could say that I'm looking for an almost neutral headphone, with a bit of focus on the bass. Something like the Miles Davis Tribute IEMs, but in a headphone (and with slightly better mids and...

Hi, Right now I´m using AKG K271 MK II headphones. I like the detail level, but the AKGs lack some bass. So I´m thinking about selling them and buying some other cans with more bass. I mainly listen to classic rock(AC/DC, Guns n Roses, Thin Lizzy and co),punk rock (GreenDay, Rise Against and...

         Before I begin, its important to know this review is subjective.  Its my opinion and nothing more, some may agree and some may disagree.  Ultimately, it is up to you, the reader to get this headphone on your head before you make any decisions.  Its not for everyone, but those it...

Hey all,   For the past week or so I've been on Head-fi trying to get recommendations for various different headphones for under 300.    The users of Head-Fi were nice enough to give me several suggestions, and today I was able to get myself down to Bay and Bloor Radio in Toronto to test...

Hey everyone   I have some HD598s that I just got for use at work, and they sound great, much better than my HD555s, but they leak too much for my office mate. I didn't think they'd bother her, but they are apparently too loud.    I listen to mainly acoustic stuff, some rock, daft punk...

I have some money now and I'd like to buy a new pair of headphones. I'll be using it for home use and for (mostly) alternative and rock.   I'm a fan of closed headphones but I'm open to any other suggestions. The budget is under 600$.   Thanks!

Hi guys,   I realise I am probably out of place compared with the rest of you audiophiles, but please, bear with me here. I got an incredible deal on the AKG Quincy Jones Q701's and I instantly liked what I read in reviews about it's super clean, amazingly accurate sound.   I have...

Hello.   I while ago I started my search for headphones, that would sound fantastically and could serve both as a portable headphone (for Cowon D2 no amp) and a stationary one for PC gaming and listening. After first results came up and there was no option to try them out, I decided to buy...

I like rap, vocal, and pop. I know people ask for bass, but really all i want is clarity along with...

For those who have one of these iPhones, how's the sound quality through the headphone out? Does it still have a lower volume output (like the 5) than the 4 or 4s?

Probably this is quite a hard question.   Does any of you know what is the difference between this two?   http://www.amazon.com/Philips-L1-28-Over-Ear-Headphones/dp/B006RUIWC0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359045463&sr=8-1&keywords=fidelio+l1%2F28  ...

I am looking to buy some good headphones for listening to music and watching movies at home.   The most important thing is that they have to be VERY comfortable, for long listening sessions. I usually have issues with the headband, so that should be extra-comfortable.   I will use them with...

Hi there :)   At the moment I own the IEM Shure SE425 for 2 years now. I REALLY enjoy them for listenning to FLAC files, but it feels like my ears are bleeding when I use mp3 < 320kpbs...    So now, I'm looking for headphones, something more "fun" and less "analytical" than my Shure.  ...

Hi! Quick question, which one of those are better for metal music? I'll drive them with UAE23 (Sabre) and O2 Amp.

Hi. I am looking to get my first "audiophile" headphones for christmas. I currently have the bose ie2 in ear headphones and wish to upgrade. I have no idea what ohms and and all that other crap are. I just want some good affordable cans. I am interested in the philips citiscape uptown...

Hi Head-fi!     This is my first post, so bear with my noobness.   I am looking to finally get a pair of worthwhile headphones, after using my sennheiser PC150s (or maybe 160s, I'm not even sure) for so long.  And no I'm not joking.   My budget is generally under $200, or more...
