Hello Head-Fi community. I'm desperatly seeking your help to finish this excruciating pain my ears are suffering. I'm currently listening to my music with iphone headphones (imagine). I think it's high time I finally buy some quality cans for my ears. As "background info", I've owned several...

Hi! I am looking for a new par of headphones to buy this December. I currently have the Sennheiser HD 558 and until now I am very happy with the sound when pair with the Ipod Classic without amplification.   The ideal headphone to me should be relatively easy to drive, circumaural open...

Last thread died, so here's one to be specific. Needs clear, tight, deep or punchy bass, but also keeping clarity and having good mids/highs/lows, etc. preferably. Please, please keep it around or under 150, a lot of people givem e stuff over my budget :/. And also, less leakage is a plus...

Hi All,   First Post. I am a long time audio nut.  I have had the likes of Levinson, Classe, JM Lab and etc... for my 2 channel needs.  A few years ago, I settled in on my Revel Salon, Jeff Rowland, Transparent set-up and love it.  In that time, I found that having a wide/deep/accurate sound...

I just recently bought the HD 598s and I was not happy with them at all, they're comfortable and look nice but I can't enjoy the sound especially for the 230 dollars I paid.   Are there any other recommendations you guys can give me for less that 250 USD? I use my headphones mainly for PC...

Hello, I'm looking for an entrance into the world of the audiophile and was wondering what would be best for me:   Budget of around £250 ($380). I will mainly be listening to music and playing games, but will occasionally watch films. Genres I like include Rock, Electronic, Classical...

I travel alot, and need to store my headphones in my suitcase on a daily basis. I am looking for a good headphone to use in hotels. What I am looking for is the following   -open design -circumaural -foldable of some sorts (to store in my luggage) -good with classicak music -not...

I have a friend wanting to spent some 100-150$ (max 200) on a headphone (yay!).   They'll only be used in his home, unamped. I have a feeling he would want a somewhat neutral, leaning towards warm, headphone.   I have suggested him the CAL!'s because he can get them for only 55$, which...

Hey guys,   I currently have the Ultrasone PRO 900, and want to try something different. I have already had three pairs of Ultrasones (HFI 580, HFI 2400 and PRO 900). I want the bass of the 900s (or almost), but with a bit more of a refined sound (especially in the mids). I can spend up to...

Hi All -    My main headphones have been the Sennheiser HD-280 pros for the past 7 years. I got them while in college to prevent waking my roomie up at night and used their fold-up design to throw around when I traveled.  While I love Sennheiser, the headphones get uncomfortable pretty quick...

The LCD2/3 is out of my budget, unfortunately.   I find the bass on my HD650's a bit lacking, but people will probably tell me I'm stupid for saying that because apparently they are some of the most bass-heavy open-backed headphones you can get.   I was thinking about the Ultrasone HFI...

Do you guys have any thoughts on these? I read a TON of mixed reviews an opinions. But for my preferings, is it OK?   i pretty much listen to whatever music i like, so im an all rounder (though i dont mind heavy bass, but mids shouldnt be THAT lacking)   im gonna be using it with my e12 and...

What's up head-fi'ers. So right now i'm looking for a good set of headphones solely for movies. My Grado SR80i's are great for listening to metal/hard rock music but as far as movies go the treble is a little harsh and there's not enough bass. Even with the bass boost turned on the highest...

I've gone through so many crappy headphones in the last few years that I have to think about which ones are the worst. I once got a pair of Phillips O'Neills from a Ross in order to get a sale on a shirt, and to my knowledge those are the only headphones I can remember the name of that made my...

Hey all,   I have never posted here before because normally I can find answers to my questions in other threads hehehe But I can't seem to find a solution to my current problem. I will try to be as specific as possible (please, keep in mind I am no audio specialist by any means and I am...

I've been lurking head-fi for quite a while, and the forum quite influenced me on my last pickup of IEM's (GR07's) and I've decided to make an account And now, I've decided on getting a full-sized pair, and I'm currently looking at the Senn HD598's Would these be a great pickup, or are there...

The title really says it all. Are there any cans out there that sound as great as the AD700's but with much deeper bass? Maybe even basshead levels. I'd say $300 is my budget.

Hey guys,    I've been doing a bit of research and want to see if I'm on the right track for my first set of real headphones and amp/DAC. My real conundrum is that I mostly listen mostly to classical music and dubstep, with a bit of jazz in there too, so I was thinking open backed but on the...

I have been searching through threads and through review sites for several hours and find myself going in circles on what headphones I should be looking at buying. I have never spent more than $20 on a pair of headphones before and I am willing to put down $100-$300 for a nice pair. I have been...

This is my first post on this forum. Hai everyone! *waves*     So yeah, I was critically thinking about getting the ATH-M50's for Christmas this year, and I saw ALOT of reviews that said it had amazing sound quality, great mids, epic highs, and a low, deep and rich bass. But I wanted to...

So do the dt 250 velour pads work on the ultrasones? And how much does the sound change? better or worse?  

So i just ordered the Ultrasones fi 580, and i was wondering what is a good portable mp3 player for these and without the use of an amp?

I have a pair of Ultrasone pro900 for home use. I would like to get a headphone for travel. I have used the pro900 for travel in the past and they are a tad too big and heavy.     I would like to stick with Ultrasone. I am curious if the HFI 780, 680, or 580's would provide a more...

Hi guys. I bought the Ultrasone HFI 780 teo weeks ago and now i decide to get a boost of the sound with an amp. But i really don't know what to buy... i considered the Fiio E7 with L3 for my iPhone (both 100 euro). However i listen my music most of the time on my iMac with Fidelia.  ...

I'm deciding to buy a new pair of headphones but I cant decide which between those 2. The HFI 2400 is recabled with silver dragon cable by moon audio, its hardwire split modded which is not detachable and the cost is $350. But the 2400 is open headphones so it's kinda bad to listen in some...
