I am 100% going to purchase one of these sets of cans. I have done a plethora of research over the past few weeks (my head hurts) and I am still receiving mixed results one one last important point:   Which is better for metal (esp. symphonic/power):     Sennheiser HD25-1 II          ...

I am interested in portable headphones and would like to know if I am looking in the right direction. I've read great things about the Sennheiser, but mostly about their ability to play rock, hip hop, metal, and such. I've not heard how they handle acoustic pieces and vocals. I listen to artists...

I've been looking at the Sennheiser HD25-1 II for a while now and I thought I'd finally made up my mind when the Beyer Dynamic DT770s went on sale on Amazon for about the same price. I realize one's on ear and one's over ear but other than that, what are the differences? I'd mainly like to know...

My current most used headphone is a Denon D1001 which I use mainly at the computer, unamped (although I have a Fiio E7). I also have the D5000, but for some reason it almost gets  no use. Much preferring the 1001. I don't know what it is that I like more in the 1001, I also don't find the...

I'm looking at buying some headphones in the $150-200 price range, and these two seem to get mentioned a lot around here. I've done some looking around, and it seems they're both well reviewed and in my price range. I was wondering if I could get some opinions on how they stack up against each...

Since they are so big and ridiculous looking, you wouldn't want to wear them in public, which is why I didn't create this thread in the portables forum.   Less talk, more pics.     Comfort: yep, better. Sound: hard to say. The bass is a bit more prominent (although it is felt a...

I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD25's and use them for both portable listening and home listening.  I'm planning on getting a pair of dedicated home headphones and was looking at the Hifiman HE-300's.  What are the audible differences between the two?  The HE-300 are going to be used for...

I'm not really sure if this needs an amp. Yet it is 70 ohlms if it does need an amp what would be good under $100 that could be used portably.

i know ie80 and the other two choices are a bit different, but i'm having trouble making a choice between them (although prefer headphones than IEMs, i'm not counting this in for the choice i am about to make)   the music i mainly listen to are Progressive Metal (Dream Theater) 80s...

Hello gang!   I'm sure like a lot of people, I was intrigued by the Philips Fidelio M1 and L1 when they were shown off at CES.  Having scoured the net for some reviews I was disappointed not to find many reviews.  The L1 and M1 are available at John Lewis and I tried both at the booth and...

So I just looked at the innerfidelity review of the Amperior, but based on what Ive seen from other impressions I don't find it convincing that they have made much of an upgrade besides the aluminum cup, the damping design, and the copper cable.     I can't say anything for certain since...

I'm thinking about buying the headphones, but i dont know how to choose, especially when i see these:   Sennheiser HD25-1 II : Frequency Response 16 - 22000 Hz Audio-Technica ATH PRO700MK2 Professional DJ : Frequency Response 5 - 35000 Hz     is that really important?

I bought a sennheiser hd25-1 ii from a head-fi member and will be getting it in few days Will these headphones benefit from an Amp? I was currently considering getting a fiio e10 What would be a good Amp/DAC or a DAC(if no good from Amp) under $100? I don,t mind getting a used one...

The title says it all. I am interested in a portable, isolating set that serves well when listening to bluegrass and other acoustic music. I listen to artists like Punch Brothers, Iron and Wine,The Civil Wars, Glenn Hansard, The Frames, Nickel Creek, Chris Thile, and mostly other acoustic stuff...

I am about to purchase the Sennheiser HD25-1 II and I wanted to know what AMP I should get to complement it. It need to be relatively cheap and be able to power them nicely. I am kind of new to High end headphones so any recommendations and tips are welcome.

I have got an diy cryo 7N pure copper today with the hd-25, i bought hd-25 not long before the announce of amperior, i am using d2+ for amp now(i will upgrade amp later) imod5.5(mundorf) and diy copper and sliver mix cable. First talk about the comfort of those hp hd 25 = amperior > dt1350 Hd...

For anyone who has the 25s, what IEMs have you heard that remind you most of them?   To quote ljokerl's review, I'm looking for IEMs that are     I'm open to suggestions at all price ranges, but much more likely to buy below $150. (I've had some great JVCs and Phillips around $25 in...

Hey guys, I just got my new Sennheiser HD25-1 ii's (which are amazing by the way) and I feel that the sound isn't as good as it should be because of the cable.  I think that all the Sennheiser replacement cables are universal? And I want to get a new one.  Which one should I get, it seems...

How does the DT1350 compare to the Amperior? The amperior has a bit of a recessed mid range, and the treble veils the mid range on treble heavy songs a bit. Would the DT1350 be better for this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLSHXkgMks8? Does anyone have both headphones so they can test this...

Is there a difference between those headphones except the look? Think im gonna buy one of them, but im not sure which one.   Tell me what you think about those headphones :) And why i should pick that headphone.   - Hypnosit3

i don't have a lot of experience with headphones, i currently have the noontec zoros and the monoprice 8320s. i both for difference reasons   i loved neutral sound, looks and comfort of the noontecs but the isolation is just not enough for me being the heavy commuter that i am.(also its...

Looking for:   - OK or better isolation (passive or active) on train/plane - On-ear  - Lightweight very portable (for travelling) - Good price ($100-$200 or so) maybe a litte more but I'm not thrilled about it ;)   So far I've been looking at the following models:   V-moda m-80...

Just bought these on Amazon and then I realized how old they are.  The reviews seem great everywhere, so I probably will be okay with them.  I just thought I'd see what y'all think.   http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Adidas-HD-Orginals-Headphones/dp/B0030T0QBG    Thank   Brad
