I owned my last pair of these for a long time, and I want another pair. Problem is that Amazon prices have gone way up since I purchased mine (~$70 to ~$200), so ive been looking other places. Ebay is not an option, unless they are used and I feel confident that they are not fakes. So my...

http://columbus.craigslist.org/ele/3756284673.html   Worth fixing? Ive done my fair share of wiring, are headphones anything special?

Hi guys! That's a very nice forum! I checked here a lot of reviews and opinions but I'm not able to choose! Please help me!  I need to choose a nice headphone or headset for music and gaming. I have a Sound Blaster Z like source and my budget is around $200. A feature that interest me...

Ok. So who got headphones for Christmas and what did you get? Doesn't really count if you bought them yourself but post anyway. Very Happy Christmas to all.

I currently have the XB500, XB700 and DT770/80s for cans. XB500 is too boxy, although i like the punch. Lacking just a hint of sub bass compared to the XB700. XB700 is more resolving than the XB500, I would prefer it be a bit more darker. DT770/80, still my fav but has a sharp treble spike...

Now i know theres lots of threads about this but i just cant get a satisfying answer...i currently have xb700 and i *****'d them up...im thinking of ah-d1100, some akg headphones or maybe beyerdynamics too (only looking for over-the-ears, not on ears) , id say that $170 is the max price. Some...

NOTE: Sorry for my english, it is not perfect :)   So, I think I can say that Sony had some problems making these, because they released some models, which are bass-light. I can tell that, because I have one. I bought the MDR-XB700 about 4 years ago, and it supposed to be my first nice...

Hello Head-fi,   I came across a nice little IEM the other day. So far I have about 20 hours on them, and while they are not outstanding, they are certainly a solid choice for a non-audiophile looking for an inexpensive pair of IEMs that look subtle, and pound out some serious bass.   What...

What are the best bass headphones? This is the hunt for the "Top 10" Bass headphones on the consumer market. The list will be compiled and based on identical set-ups (or similar) and tracks with identical Eq sloping/boosting...

Hello everyone,      I am new to this forum but have been on it several times over the past year.  Everyone seems to be very helpful and kept non constructive criticism to a minimum too :). I am still new in the audiophile world and look forward to learning and being able to experience more...

Hello Head-Fiers,   Just starting a thread for the new MDR-XB50, since it is a fairly new product, and not much has been said. IMO, for sub $100 budget bassy IEMs that I have tried/own, they are at the top of the heap.   "Extra Basses" Some stats from the back of the...

anyone got them yet or have tried them? having owned and a fan of the xb90, i'm curious if these would be any good.. considering the lower price...   http://store.sony.com/extra-bass-earbud-headset-zid27-MDRXB50AP//cat-27-catid-All-Earbuds?vva_ColorCode=000000&_t=pfm%3Dcategory      ...

Hello guys, i'm looking for new headphones and considering opinions and reviews htf 600 and xb 700 both can be a good choice. The problem is i usually use headphones with my laptop which has integrated sound card (realtek hd audio) and i heard that a lot of headphones sound like crap with it. My...

Well, I've had the Sony XB 700's for a little bit. I like a lot of bass won't lie. But I still like good sound quality in general :p But anyways I was kind of disappointed with them. I was expecting well more bass I guess. I heard afterwards a lot of people say you need a amp for it and it only...

I have a pair of Sony MDR-XB700 headphones that I really like, but the cable is too darn short.  I am not comfortable enough to take apart the headphones and solder in new leads myself.  Is there anybody on the forum that does this kind of work that I could send my headphones to?

Who Here has had a guilty pleasure of waning for the constant feeling for more Bass from Headphones easily driven from an Ipod or CD Player without the need for a Headphone DAC or Amp?   or wanted headphones that looked original, fresh, and cool/ innovative looking?   or just wanted to...

I am looking to spend less than 1k total. My current collection of headphones: ATH-M50s, Image S4 IEM, VMODA M-100, Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros, Sony XB700. (Sound Isolation/Bass Head!!!) I listen to electronica, rap and metal and also do a good bit of PC gaming. I currently use a Fiio E5...

I have been searching around for a new set of phones and as many reviews are out there, very few specify if they are suitable for small heads. I wear an extra small crash helmet if that helps, I have also been into sony sound systems for as long as I can remember as I have always enjoyed there...

:cool:

Hey guys, im looking for a portable amp for my Ipod Nano 6 as i want to crank up the volume output. Most of the time I use it with my Sony MDR-XB700's while im on the move form college or sometimes during lessons. I've looked at the FiiO E6 but I'm really newbie in this field and haven't really...

Hey there, Ive been browsing in the internet and mostly in this forum to find a headset suitable for my needs but really couldnt find anything that completely suit my needs, and right now I have a big headache seeing all these names and brands of headphones and "Do I want these" and "Do I want...

Hi peeps. Been reading through the forums, and I need help on what to get. My Monster Turbine Coppers are broken, standard cable-wiggle-for-sound issue. I don't mind paying for good headphones, but I don't want to pay for too much either. Problem is, I live in the Philippines, so I don't have...

Im looking to buy a nice pair of headphones under $300.00. I had beats solo hd's. Which sounded ok to good. I mostly listen to rock hip hop and rap. Im really looking for something loud and that sounds good. Most headphones ive come across, the cheaper ones just dont sound good. Any models or...

Hey guys!   I'm looking for a pair of good headphones for mainly rap and hip-hop. I like bass, but I don't want it to be overpowering,  as I like my vocals to be as clear as possible. I've looked around but I have no clue what's trash and what a good pair of headphones are. A friend...
