Hey guys, I'm looking to buy either the HD428 or HD448 and was wondering whether my Ipod nano (3rd gen) will be able to power them without the use of an amp?  The packaging said that they were "optimized for Ipods and Mp3 players" but I cant seem to find threads that answer my question...

I'm looking into new cans for..oh i don't know a 8 months to a year down the road and was wondering how the price to performance is on the DT 770 pro-edition cans? I currently have the senn HD448 and Grado80i so i don't really mine a change in my sound preference since i went form super relaxed...

Hello!   I've been researching for quite some time and decided to get some advice on what is the best headphone for me.   I live in a college dorm room and would really like some decent noise isolation (but without the active noise cancelling, it can get irritating especially for...

I'm relatively new to the hi-fi world, but the last set of ($35 Altec Lansing) headphones I bought has lasted five years, so I decided that it was time to spend a bit more on my audio and I'm looking for suggestions on headphones   I'm looking for closed headphones in the $100-$200 range...

Hi all, I do not know much about headphones and I have been listening to a 5$ headphones till now and I want to upgrade to a decent pair of headphones My budget is around 100$, and I can stretch to at max 115$ if the phones are too good. I use them mostly at home to watch movies and...

Hello all....I've been checking this site out the past 2 days, and I'm going around in circles as to what to pick up.  Seems everyone has a different view on each of these headphones, and my head is starting to hurt =)  I have a huge classical music collection...most of it ripped at very high...

I am planning on purchasing a new headphone for my Ipod Touch soon. I am thinking about some headphones that friends recommended. The Sennheiser HD 448, HD555 and I have heard that Bose was a good brand as well. I am mainly going to use these headphones at home. My budget is $200...

Hey all,   Recently looking into buying a high (enough) quality pair of headphones for around 150$ CAD. I was going to buy Sennheiser 448's from Tiger Direct but they recently put them on back order and I realized this may be an opportunity to find a more educated purchase. I scanned...

I don't know which to get! I think the 448s look much nicer than the 555s but I was looking at their specs and the 555s have higher Impedance, and up to 28000hz instead of 24000... which doesn't mean much to me but I'm guessing is better?   Which should I get?   Thanks!

Hi,   I'm going to buy new headphones, and I couldn't decide. I need your help.   - I will be using the headphones only to listen to music on my computer, and nothing else   - I mainly listen to rock and metal, also jazz   - Noise reduction is extremely important. So the...

Hi,   As a follow up from my other thread in Headphones (full-size) (http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/520073/i-would-appreciate-some-assistance-in-choosing-some-enclosed-circumaural-headphones-for-iphone-and-macbook-pro-thanks), I am planning to get some Sennheiser HD 448 headphones and a...

Hi! First post here, I was reading the forum, as suggested, to look for options. But the more I read the more options I had :S. I'm looking for help, I'm looking for closed headphones, because most of the time I'm in places with lots of people, or even when I'm at a library I wouldn't like to...

 Edit(29/10/2010):   This threat has got hardly anything to do with portable source gear, sorry that's my mistake.   After some very good advice of some head-fiers I had an revelation of which I was hoping for so every thing below this edit is not relevant anymore. I guess it was kind...

Hi,   I would like to get some new headphones. I am a software developer and when I am at work, I listen to music (160 kbit OGG) using my iPhone 3GS. When I am at home, I listen to music (320 kbit OGG) using the built-in soundcard and 3.5mm output on my Macbook Pro. I would like to use the...

Ok so I recently decided to buy a pair of decently good headphones ($100 - $200). I had no idea about this whole world of audiophiles and the amount of difference between headphones.   Anyway, I've read tons and tons of reviews now, and I'm totally confused as to what pair to get. I listen...

I really like the AKG's but are a little bit too expensive, but  Ido like the K99's and K77's.   What about those?  And do you have any other suggestions?   Also, are Skullcandy's and WeSC's that poor?  They look pretty good and aren't too expensive, but I hear nothing good about them.

I am having trouble deciding which headphones to get. I had the M50's but i returned them due to their bulkiness and making my ears feel hot and uncomfortable after a short time. I wasnt amazed with their sound quality but I didn't have an amp. I am going to get an amp probably, but I was just...

Hi,    As someone with a whole slew of IEMs and only one full-size can (Sennheiser HD 448) I am looking to upgrade my full-size set. I am really a newb when it comes to full-size though!   Price: $100-300 (can be flexible if something is really worth it)  Looking for something open to...

I'm in the market for a fine pair of headphones on the order of $100 and have been considering the Sennheiser HD 280s and 448s, but haven't been able to find either in stores to take a listen.   Judging by the technical stats, the HD280s are superior: they offer a greater frequency response...

Hey Everybody, Great website. I signed on a couple of weeks ago when my 3 year old Grado sr60 began to fall apart. First there was the little black cap on the post that holds the right cup on. Then the left cup came completely dislodged from the headband. I have no idea how to reconnect that...

I'm looking for a set of phones for use primarily at work, but also some home use. Since I'm in a cube with neighbors near by, I'm looking at closed-back cans. I have a pair ER6i's that I use for portable audio and am not interested in using them or other IEMs since they can get uncomfortable...

I've been using crappy sharper image headphones that just broke and saw that my only other pair is Sony MDRV700, which I can't stand, so I am looking for something new.  I've narrowed it down to these three, although I still need to research the 448 more.  I've ruled out the ad700 because...
