I've owned a pair of Sennheiser HD 238's for about a year now and I've really enjoyed them from the get go. I use them without an amp through my ipod and they were my first foray into higher quality headphones. Now I'm hooked and on the slippery slope of wanting to upgrade to something else. I...

I have been looking at portable amps under $100.  It would be used with an Ipod touch with audeo pfe 112's or sennheiser HD238's.  First off, do I even need an amp for this set up?  I do have the volume at about 80 to 90% most of the time.  Would I gain any sound quality with an amp?   I...

Someone mentioned a headphone amplifier I hadn't heard of before (the QED MB45), so I went looking around for the information on it -- seems pretty reasonable at CA$225 -- and found this other thing which got me to thinking. They have this device, the MA18 headphone volume control, which is...

Hi!   I have been searching around these forums for a while, and although there's a few threads about closed back phones it normally comes down to HD25s or Beyer DT1350. I used to have HD25s, and they were GREAT headphones, but they weren't VERY portable, and they are also very expensive...

This discussion was originally meant for suggestions to my wife's new can selection. Turned out that I bought something entirely different - and way overbudget. This is head-fi world :)   I listened primarily to classical, orchestra works, followed by violin and piano works. I also listened...

I have been thinking about getting some headphones for a while now and i'm wondering which of these two would be the better choice.

You decide,   What is your all time best looking portable headphone?  

We've all been to some of our favorite companies' websites, right? Well, when I started on Head-Fi the first thing I wanted to pick up was a Koss Porta Pro, so as you can imagine I visited their website often. And while I went to the Product Select button, I felt like I was in the Matrix. The...

I'm looking for a bright/semi-bright full sized or over-ear headphone, with large soundstage, decent instrument separation, detailed, with good bass, that doesn't overlay the sparkle of treble. They can be open or closed, I just want the best sound for my budget. I'm not at all a bass head, but...

I'm looking for a pair of headphones around $50 or $60 and I wanted some advice on what I should buy. I listen to hip-hop and want something with good bass. Also, it has to sound good out of the box without the need for an amp. I think that the Sony MDR-XB500 fits this description except I don't...

I'm looking for headphones that have the best audio reproduction quality to price under 100 bucks. I mostly listen to movie soundtracks, j-pop and various metal. I currently own the sennheiser 238 and portapros. the sennheisers's vocals sound really soft compared to most headphones and the...

I am looking to buy a new pair of headphones and I would like some suggestions. I currently own two pairs, Sennheiser HD 212's and 238's. I love the open sound of the 238's and they are perfect for listening to when I'm alone, but they leak too much sound when I'm around others. The 212's are...

Ok I'm new to all of this so bear with me. I recently came across some beats solo headphones for more than half off so I figured is try them. I wasn't all that impressed for such a high retail but ill admit they look nice. Anyway I'm returning them and was hoping to get some recommendations for...

Hey, Head-Fi peeps I am recently looking for a pair of headphones that cost less than $100 that has great some quality and is really durable. I really don't care about looks. Thanks! Samuel

Just saw that senn released their new low cost HD 4x8 series and I was wondering if anyone has tried them? I have my HD650 but I kinda wanted to try a closed headphone and these look pretty decent for $100.

I'm looking for a good budget-fi open set of cans which contrast heavily with my SR-60i. Looking for a good side-grade, not upgrade in otherwords. Would the HD238 be it, or do they overlap in sound signature too much?

So long story short i snapped the connector for my 238's and now they do not work. Should I try to repair it (and how would I do this) or should I just get a better pair of headphones? Price range is around $100.

Hey everybody,   I am new to these forum, write from France and would like to replace my Senn HD238, which were OK for me but way to fragile (broke two in 18months, bent the plug). So I decided to go for a slightly higher tier, with a budget of $100-$200.   These are my criteria Has to be...

Im pretty much a newbie this stuff and initially wanted to get a pair of Dr Dre HD Solos until I did some reasearch and found this forum.   I have done some searching on the forum and have not found what the difference is between the MS300 and MS400. I wanted to go for the MS300 since they...

  Hi, you may know me as the guy who comes on the forums once each month, pokes around, asks about headphones knowing nothing about anything and then leaves, only to repeat.   Well here I go again, looking for headphones. But this time I know a bit more.   Im looking for some...

Hey guys and gals. Alright, this might sound weird but I like the Sennheiser HD238 (general sound signature and comfort). Mine is modded with aluminum instead of the foam in the cup, so that might be why. I know a lot of people have issues with this headphone sounding muddy but it's really a lot...

I'm new to headphones. I was recommended a pair of these Sennheiser's, which to my knowledge is a good brand. This guy knows a lot about headphones and it fit my price range of about $20-$40ish.   I want to know if they are good for the money or if there's a better pair out there for the...
