May I start off by saying I am a dedicated gamer and I enjoy games even second I play them. But the hint I enjoy even more is the sound they make. For example I have been playing battlefield bad company 2 and the sounds........ They are amazing the sound a sniper shot, the rumble of a collapsing...

First of all let me excuse my bad english, i'm from Romania... So i keep seeing mods about improving the sound of headphones... remove the thing covering the hole or make a hole there, or put some phonoabsorbant in the enclosure, or remove the thingy they put to make the cans sound worse...

Hey Head-fiers,   While I am not necessarily in a rush, the upgrade bug is beginning to bite.  I am more than pleased with my current home setup, but the quality of this setup is starting to bleed into a need to upgrade the portable one.  I am currently running a set of Sennheiser HD 448...

Hi, this is my first post here and I want to ask you which is the best choice for a pair headphones for movies somewhere around 75$ ? I'm new in this domain so I have no clue...   Thanks :)

Right. Not sure where to start and where to put this question, so it goes straight into "Headphones fullsize" section. I've been using wireless digital headphones for the last two years and "wireless" bit kind of grew on me (Philips SBC-HD1500u). Now that the phones themselves started to...

  Hey guys its my first post over here and after searching for hours yesterday for decent headphones i gave up. I live in Israel so the only buying option i got is through eBay or i can get lucky and find headphones at almost the same price as eBay here in a store.     Mostly i listen...

Greetings Head-fi-ers,   New to posting, but not new to this forum, I've spent a good deal of time reading here, and have found this site to be a great resources for all things headphone.  A little about myself:  Started mixing audio for my church 7 years ago, and used sony MDR 7506s and...

I was wondering about the amps for headphones...  Why some of them need an amplifier while others not and how are we going to know that a pair of HPs need an amp? I mean, has it something to do with the h-phone's specs? If I buy some headphones and they finally need an amp what do I do? Also, if...

I'm mostly an IEM guy - I love my Etys.  But I've decided that for in the office they're a problem.  While plenty comfortable for me for lengthy sessions the fact is that in the office I'm constantly taking them in and out and that irritates after a while.  So I'm looking for something...

I'm trying to look for the coldest, brightest most bass-anemic closed full sized headphones out there. Like a K701 or ER4P. However, I'm not interested in the higher Audio Technica models (which I have seen suggested before) because: A). the insane price, B). the mixed reviews, C). the lack of...

I wanted to get headphones(need removable 1/4 jack as well on them) I was thinking of Senheisser HD 448 or HD 438 what do you say. Plus I live in india so i dont have brand options. Foll. Are available here: Creative Senheisser Skullcandy These are the good ones that are within my...

  So i want to buy a new pair of headphones, because my old Hd 205 failed on me.i want to go a little more high end this time,  my budget is +-100EUR (130$ give or take)   So i have been looking around and stuff  but i still cant decide which one to pick. I’m going to use it for gaming...

Since these are around the same price, any recommendations?

Hello fellow Head-fiers! As I´m sure many from Europe have noticed, the main deals thread isn´t that useful for us as we have to scan out the deals actually willing to ship over here. And unfortunately we´re often left in the dark (hi Amazon.com!). So due to popular demand, I present the Europe...

I just bought the Sennheiser HD448's because of all the good things I heard about them over the net. I read that the bass wasn't too bad but I didn't think it would be this poor. I've burnt them in for about 10 hours or so but I don't think more of that would help. I still have time to return...

How do the HD555's compare to the HD448's and Shure SRH440 in sound quality? Are they a better deal in the up to $100 price category? 

I'm in the market for a pair of entry-level headphones, and I think I'v decided on either the Grado SR80i, Sennheiser hd 448, or the Sennheiser hd 555. Which pair should I get, and why? I'm just going to be driving these from my ipod or laptop, I can't afford an amp right now.

sorry but I've searched and didn't find the exact info I was looking for.   I haven't listened to serious Senns (except 215 from the DJ series) but I get that they have a sonic signature some might dislike. kind of opposed to the direct Grado sound as far as I understand.   I own a pair...

Well I got some money and want an opinion.I was originally looking into the 325is but with the new chromeing I'm unsure, and the fact I'm not sure I will like the way they sound. The MS-2 are a viable option also, but then I was looking on headphone.com and noticed the HD598 and 558 are out...

I'm going to keep this simple. I am looking to step it up to some real MAN Over-ear headphones under about 90$. Any earbud suggestions are welcome however...   I have owned: HiFi Man RE0's (EXCELLENT) Koss PortaPro's Klipsch Image s4's Shure se210 (terrible IMHO)   To be used...

Hi,     I purchased the Sennheiser HD 435 a few years ago and I am thinking of upgrading them.  I was wondering if the Sennheiser HD 448 are going to be any better (ie. would I notice a difference?).     They would be used exclusively with my computer: playing games and listening to...

Hello. Can anyone tell me if it's worth buying the HD 595 to replace my HD 448? I plan to use them with a Fiio E5 Portable Amplifer, but I'm not sure if that would make the sound quality better or worse. Thank you for the help. New to Head-Fi and I do not know much about this type of stuff.

Hi, I really apreciate all your help and have researched a TON, but I still don't know what to do. It is difficult for me to try out non-bose headphones because of my location in Lubbock, Texas. Here are my needs: MUSIC SOURCE I need headphones that do NOT require an amp as I will be...

Let me just start by saying I am a newbie when it comes to audio equipment. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music. I have been using the Sennheiser HD 202 headphones for a few years thinking they were great. Then I tried out the monster beats at a store one day and realized how much I was...
