But I only want to spend 100 bucks, maybe a little bit more if necessary.    I've been doing a lot of reading and it sounds like the Grado S80i's are popular for that price range, and very good.    The one thing I'm worried about is that the sound signature will be too flat. I already...

Looking for a good balanced onear headphone, with neutral to warm tone, no harsh or bright sound, good details price is not a big problem as long as it has a good value, I tried noontec zoro hd and ue 4000, they have good sounds, noontec is better imo, 4000 is a little bit v-shape I think, but...

Hi All,   So I don't know if I can officially categorize myself as an audiophile since oh man are there some crazy music lovers out there. =)  But I come pretty close.  I live in headphones whether its listening to music, watching movies, tv shows, etc.  I feel like I'm going through so many...

I think the title says it all. What are the best headphones, open or closed, that need no amping, modding, or burning-in to sound great? If I just want to plug something into my ipod and be on my merry way, what should I buy?   Suffice to say, many will likely improve with amping, but let's...

Hi guys,   I'm getting a pair of free Beats Solo HD. I am selling them even before I'm getting them, and I'll probably get around 180 € for them. Instead, I want to buy a pair of audiophile headphones, something the range of Grado SR125i's, I was looking at Alessandro MS-1i. Are there any...

Greetings,   Just wanted to throw this out there for those who enjoy hyper-budget headsets.    I was perusing Best Buy here in Canada (always a great place for quality headsets....sarcasm) and came across a pair of Kunai Tritton on-ear gaming headphones, branded for the WiiU (plug size fine...

Hey guys! I'm looking for a replacement 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male cable for my MDR-1RBT headphones. There's nothing wrong with the current cable, but it would be super nice to have 3-button remote and mic functionality for when the battery is down, or for when I'm gaming and need the lower...

Hello Head-fi,   Today, I bring you the J+- Stereo Headphone, yet another budget headphone from the Great Canadian Superstore's in-house brand, J+-.   This will just be a quick overview and first impression, with final impressions to be posted in about a weeks time, once I've had a...

So I recently figured out that every dynamic driver earphone I've used has given me driver flex, and it's come to a point where earphones are pretty much unusable. A couple months ago, I acquired a pair of Creative Aurvana 3's, a dual balanced armature, and received absolutely no driver flex...

Hi,    I am new to the forum. Just purchased a new set of UE4000's , not the fanciest on ear phones but got a great deal and I think they sound pretty good, as good if not better than my old Sennheiser PX100's. Have been doing some research on mini headphone amps, have come across all the usual...

I need a decent pair of headphones. Source will just be Spotify on high quality. Music is very eclectic from classical/instrumentals to things like Girl Talk and Hood Internet.   Needs to be closed so that I don't annoy people around me.    It will be powered from a Macbook Retina 15, latest...

How do the UE 4000 sound compared to the Shure SE535 and UE900?

On-ear have an advantage (in my opinion)... ...to be more portable (but I feel like a lot of over-ear can fold away into a small package for travel [ex. UE4000 versus UE6000], so this doesn't seem like an advantage. Furthermore, IEM tend to be more portable than on-ear) ...on-ear models...

Hello All, I have been reading the forums on this site for about a year. I find them to be an excellent reference point. I decided to be a member. I am the owner of two headphones that I have absolutely enjoyed for different reasons but they are very worn and rather dated.  So I am looking for...

I'm interest in sennheiser but i don't know which can match my listening genre I'm like pop and r&b music sometime rock

I'm in the category of listeners who are 'treble sensitive.' I love my details, hanker for them really, but simply can't listen for extended periods to any 'phones with a treble boost. I'm wondering what headphones offer the best compromise, ie offer clarity and detail while allowing for...

I'm looking to spend $100-150.. 200 at the MOST for some good headphones that aren't necessarily monitors. I want some good overhead headphones for listening to mostly bass heavy music. I know the audio technica and some other monitors would be ideal, but I want my music to sound "good" and not...

In this review, I will be introducing what I believe to be Noontec Zoro's brother, the Zoro HD. The Zoro was a very successful headphone that get positive reviews on several big audio forum/website like the Innerfidelity and CNet. While I personally have not tried the Zoro myself before, but...
