Im just looking for replacemnt pads for my HD448's notghing is wrong with them, im just wondering fi they can be replaced, i noticed the HD555, 595, and 598 have repalcement pads that are velour and look like they are the same cup size but im not sure, and if they would fit, how do i get these...

I've decided that I'm ready to replace by Bose on-ear headphones that have been my primary headphones for music listening for the past four years. Luckily I got them for half their ridiculously high MSRP, but I still have come to realize they aren't worth the price I paid because of their...

Heyy, Im getting some headphones for my friend, she  listens to acoustic/ hardcore/indie/dubstep/ techno/ trance.     She likes bass but wants some clarity in her music, preferably for the Acoustic music.  A nice sound stage.    Im not really, Familiar with these genres of music so I...

Hello,   I'm thinking about buying a protable amp for my HD 448 since I read a lot of people saying it wil improve the sound quality a lot. I can confirm this when I listen through my Sony micro-hifi system (my nokia 5800 connected with aux). A Sony micro-hifi system is most certain not...

I'm thinking of getting an AMP/DAC to connect my work laptop to my Sennheiser HD448s. Would the Firestone Fubar IV be a good choice?

Hi everyone. First post, so I'll pray this is where noobish threads go.   I'm considering buying a pair of senn's portable full-ear headphones. Some of those that you can carry all around and sound great without necessarily having to invest in an amp. I was thinking of something between the...

Here is a quick review of three headphones:  Sennheiser HD 448, Denon AH-D1001, and Audio-Technica ATH-M50.  All three headphones are highly recommended on this and other forums, all are closed-back design, and all can be purchased for ~$125.   My source is an iPod. I enjoy listening to...

Hello,   I have been researching a long time and have found myself with two options - either the HD 448 or the HD 438. I was originally going to go with the HD 448 as I like classical music but after researching some more I found out that the HD 448 ear padding was not so great, neither was...

Hello again,   Just about to go for the HD448s and came across the Creative Aurvana Lives which are slightly cheaper and look like they have better reviews. What would be better for me to get depending on these requirements: Comfort + great sound quality I listen to all kinds of music...

Hello there! this looks like the most reliable forum about hi-fi headphones on the internets, so i'm asking you! I owed a pair of (lame) wesc plastics, and Technics rp-f290 (wich i loved and used till they melted)   I'm looking for a good pair of over-ear, 50-150€ range, durable (and...

Hello,   I really would like some nice headphones for listening to music but I am kind of stuck on which to buy. I would like some headphones which would sound great on my computer and have a natural sound. I have been advised to look at Sennheiser but I can't choose from their wide range...

Heya all,   I am sure you get this kind of threads alot, so I'll apologize for that in advance. I have read multiple forums and I have sought for information to get things straight about headphones in order to make my final decision, but some things are not yet clear to me.  Of all forums...

I've been hunting down a decent pair of headphones for about 100 bucks. I thought it would be an easy enough task, boy was I wrong. EVERYBODY is contradicting everyone. I have no idea what to do. I'm gonna tell my case now.   My set up would look like this:  ...

Well. the first thing i listened to is Blind Guardian, Now i wasn't quite prepared for this type of bass drop but I'm listening to them on my old crappy sound card before i switch it to my Audigy2, the mids and highs are so vivid and warm, it makes the voices sound like BAM RIGHT HERE!!! i have...

Hey, I'm looking for a nice pair of closed headphones $100-$200 range only being used for music. I mainly listen to trance but techno and progressive sometimes source will be mp3 and lossless. I have looked at the HD448, but want some other chooses aswell and opinions!!

Budding audiophile here, new to the forums. I've been reading around, mostly on this site, and really need help making up my mind. Have seen people recommended Grados over the HD555s and vice-versa. Even seen the Triports recommended to a couple people. Well none of them were in my exact...

well i got them, they haven yet to arrive, the frequency graph is very similar to the V6's i  hear complaints about them not having enough bass, this is my upgrade from the XMB 700's I'm prepared for the bass drop of a life time, i have used the v6's before and loved the way they sounded, my...

I just got my HD 448's yesterday and I was wondering if anybody had a recommendation on how to burn in these headphones?

Has anyone done any serious testing of the two? Judging from HeadRoom's graphs, the two headphones seem to be exactly the same cans in different housings. I'm curious to know what makes the HD 448 worth $30 more, apart from profit margins. :P Is it just me or is this a classical case of price...

Hi all.   Okay, I've decided to get myself my first pair of REAL headphones as a payrise present. I have set a budget of £50 - £100 (Currently $78 - $156). While this will be small money to serious audiophiles it is a big step for me, as before now the best headphones I have owned have been...

Hi all,   I have a really old (10-year old) HD495 which I've been pretty happy with, haven't even gotten around to amping it. But it has lost all of its padding.  Given that I'll mostly be listening to VBR MP3 from an ipod touch, what would be a suitable replacement/upgrade in a similar...

Dear head-fi.org subscribers,   My headphone is a sennheiser HD448 and I think it sounds a bit thin amped only by my cellphone, nokia 5800. The volume is just okay but the bass is just not loud enough compared with highs and mids at high volume level. When I listen to my phone through my...
