I would like to get some input of the most popular headphones used in professional recording studios. (Both the headphones used by the singer for tracking, and the headphone for monitor, mixing)       Thanks...

I believe I have spotted in error in many retailer listings of the Sennheiser HD 280. Many online retailers such as Amazon, HeadRoom, and Newegg all list the sensitivity as 102 dB. However this seemed very confusing to me, because the noise floor I was getting with them with my Schiit Asgard 2...

Hi, I have emailed my professor about buying studio headphones for digital audio course since its required, and he told me the first that comes to mind is The Seinheiser 280, but he will try to find his full list and email me it soon, however its been a week or so and I still haven't received...

Hi Head-Fi Community,   Ive used in-ear buds my entire life and last year i bought a pair of klipsh s4i and now i am looking to buy a pair of full sized headphones.   1. I'm a college student who spends the majority of the week in my room studying, I need a set of headphones that do a...

id like to be able to enjoy music while i refinish/sand floors. (i do about 15 a year with my work)   its a pretty noisy job, would active noise canceling headphones work or do i need to diy/custom build myself a pair of really isolating headphones? 

I've been using Bose AE2's for when I need closed cans. The sound quality isn't great, sort of tin-canny, but it's not too bad, and the comfort and isolation are good. I've tried various "audiophile-approved" closed cans but they've all disappointed me in one way or another. Some are...

I currently have the HD 280 pro headphones and I was wondering if an amp would make them sound a lot better. I have the HT | OMEGA STRIKER 7.1 sound card and I am using FLAC audio files with foobar200. I was looking at the Black Objective2 amp with a budget of $150 and it looks pretty good. What...

I am looking for best headphones SQ wise please choose from the options available. Or if you have any better suggestions please mention it below. Thankyou !!

I currently have the SR80i plugged into an Audioengine D1 DAC/Amp at my home computer which is a pretty good combo. I was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade higher up in the Grado product line or if it will be "more of the same".   I'm also considering the AKG Q701 or K702, however...

I dont know much about headphone amps or even these nice headphones since this will be my first time purchasing one. Can someone please fill me up to date on the best headphones(closed or open) for rock music like alterbridge, creed, shinedown, digital summer, stereoside, etc. Also when i do buy...

Hello all,   I am currently in the market for over the ear headphones that offer the best sound isolation possible at ~$250-300. I want the sound quality to be good (it doesn't have to be perfect), but I'm really looking for something that's comfortable and really dampens outside noise. I...

Good afternoon Head-Fi'ers,   Been lurking around for quite awhile now and just starting to get back into headphones and such. Long time member over at Overclock.net as well   Anyways, I am starting to piece together a new system and audio setup and would love to have some advice in...

Hi All   I'm looking to buy a gift for my 13yr old nephew who plays the bass guitar and was hoping to grab a pair of cans for him that won't empty my wallet.  Hopefully something under $100.   Was thinking about the Koss Pro-4AA's but since i'm new to this "audio-world", and my own...

I've been using the Sennheiser HD-280 headphones for the past few years for both DJing and studio production, but would like to keep them strictly for DJing and get something nicer for the studio. I really can't complain about the HD-280 one bit. They've held up over the years and the sound...

I work in a recording studio and we use loudspeakers exclusively to master music. I want a popular reference headphone to listen to my masters for observation purposes. I don't think it's really a good idea to exclusively mix on headphones; so these headphones are to compliment the speakers and...

Hello all,  I'd thought I'd share my moody opinion on these earphones. There are lots of good reviews already about the design which I like very much, however I was quite appalled at the sound quality.   (Just some random info - I am a classical pianist/keyboard (15years) Djembe player...

Im looking for a good pair of headphones for listning to metal and rock with good bass that might be sold at best buy.

I thought my cable was shorted somewhere, so I ordered a new one and started to wire it up...but during the reassembly, I was still finding a short. I managed to track it down to the driver itself: not sure how this is possible, but when the driver is completely removed from the headphone (no...

First of all hi everybody, I'm glad to join the forum. I have never had any experience when it comes to headphones only ipod's ear-in and notebook's speakers.   My main goal is to listen music, I don't listen to nothing with much bass, generally John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Guns, Bon Jovi...

Hi Guys and any gals who frequent these superb forums,a very quick question,do either the Audio Technica ATH M50 or the Sennheiser HD380/280 Pro series headphones require amplification with an Ipod Touch?I have had a vast disappointment with some Shure and KRK headphones where the sound is flat...

I just broke my HD 280 pro's and I would like to upgrade to a better 'phone at a higher pricepoint.  I was looking at Sennheiser's HD 598's, but I was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations for headphones ~$200?

Hi   I'm looking to buy a new pair of headphones to pair with Newforce Udac1 I listen to all genres of music, and mostly its compressed music.    - I would like to buy a new pair of HP's that can work well with the UDac1, and does not make compressed music sound even more...

Okay guys, I'm almost completely sure that I'm in the wrong place to ask all of these different questions, so please forgive me, this is gonna be a long one.   I am basically new to high quality headphones and am in the market for a pair. I plan on using them heavily with my computer (gaming...

Well today my AKG K701 decided to give up on me after a little less than 2 months. The side that the wire plugs into no longer has sound. If I fiddle with the wire a little bit, I can get it to momentarily come back to life but only for a few seconds.    Contacted amazon as thats where they...

Hi there, I tried looking through the forums, but I couldn't find anything that addressed all the issues I have. I wouldn't call myself an audiophile; I don't really know any of the proper terms to describe what I'm looking for but I'll do my best. I currently have a pair of Bose...
