In the market for either IEM or a full-sized cans (closed) that can be driven without AMP. Budget around $160 (USD) remote location means I'm stuck at ordering online. Any recommendations? Going to venture outside inner-fi this time - need more input.   Previously owned cans: - HD201 - HD202...

I am currently using a pair of Skull Candy SK pro. I really like the sound but the problem with these is that after using them for sometime, my ears start to hurt. I have pretty big ears and my ears do not fit inside these Skull candies. I am looking to buy a new pair of headphones and was...

Just bought the M50'x's havent really compared the sound yet but the pads are much more harsher compared to my HD 439's. Im considering buying velour earpads, and I'm confused between the sound professional pads or the shure 940 pads. Suggestions? Thanks   I'll probably purchase the HD 558's...

Hey everyone, im new so please dont hate on me. I recently returned my old headphones to best buy (Beats by dre Solo HD). I got in store credit for them and i opted to upgrade to the Beats Executives because i likes the look and the comfiness. I think they are great but i want to see what other...

No, ain't a dating thread. Anyway, I love music. I cannot do something without it. I had tons of in ear headphones,was alright but looking for more. Anywho, I'm listening to mainly electronic genres like Dubstep, Psytrance, Hardstyle and so on, I like bass I must say. In looking for over ear...

Hey there everyone one.   So I'm not exactly new to the headphone game. I've got a modest setup of a set of HM5s and a brand new Schiit Vali/Modi stack. I really like my HM5s but I'm starting to get the itch for something a bit better. I live with a couple of loud room mates so the headphones...

I'm trying to find some new audiophile cans. I don't have a lot of requirements, but the ones I do have will be deal breakers. I'm looking for over-the ear, preferably closed back. Comfortable is helpful considering I'm always listening to music at class and at home. (Well and in the car but...

Hi everyone, looking for a pair of closed headphone (preferably with a removable cable) for around $200 CAD. Comfort is huge as it was an issue with my last pair of headphones (M50x). I'm also looking for clarity, powerful vocals, controlled bass, and a wide sound stage (I'm a beginner so please...

I Currently have the Sony MDR-7506 they sound great, but they are a little too bright for me - I like everything else about them, but the highs can get a little piercing and annoying if wearing them for a while.   Can anyone recommend a similar spec'd headphone with a more tamed treble?     ...

I own a pair of ATH M-50 I bought half a year back and I'm quite satisfied with 'em, but they're messy to carry around with and I'm afraid to leave them in my room when I'm gone. I was thinking about getting new pair of headphones that would give me a different experience from the M-50 (aka...

I need some suggestions for around ear headphones. I just purchased the ATH- M50s from Audio Technica a couple days ago, but I don't find them very comfortable. What I am using them for: - Listening for long hours - Small amounts of video editing (less important to my purchase) What I am...

Hi there! First post and happy to be joining the community (my poor wallet though, I don't think it will ever forgive me for the decision).  I was wondering if I could get some help on deciding on a good set of closed headphones under $300.  I would love to get some open ones to fully enjoy the...

I am looking for a headphone, and I am considering the Audio Technica ATH-M50x and V-Moda Crossfade M-100 headphones. I will write down what I think in each department and ask some questions. Please help me choose the one that is better (for me).   1. Comfort - I want my headphone to be...

Ok, so I am looking for a decent pair of headphones. I have split my questions/posts up into the appropriate forums as I am also looking for an amp/dac to go with them. Thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/650271/looking-for-my-first-decent-dac-amp-for-full-time-desktop-use   Here is the quick...

Hey guys, don't know if this is the right section of the forum to post this, but anyways.. Sooo, I'm new to all of this, I have never owned any good or "expensive" headphones, more than some cheaper in-ear from local stores. But since I don't know anything I have always thought they have had...

Hi everyone i been aways for a long time ahah.   I always had great advice here so i have some question :)     So im looking something to fit with my  future Nexus 5 from lg Currently on a samsung Nexus.       I do think a iem will be a better choice for portability and all.     So...

The title pretty much says it all. I don't want something that is a side step or a little upgrade I want something that blows the M50x out of the water. I want something that is superior SQ, Very Fun sound,l bright, analytical, detailed, Lush, warm, beautiful soundstage, with good speed. I have...

Hi there   just picked myself up a pair of ATH M50's, they sound great but im unsure of my setup. I have a Asus Xonar D2X soundcard with a 5.1 surround sound setup coming from it. From this i  have my M50's plugged into the sound controller from the surround setup. Im new to this , so...

Hey Guys, This is probably my first real post here so be gentle. I first of all love my ATH-M50x's (and my HD650's) but the ATH-M50x's are no where near the same comfort level as the HD650's naturally because of the cup size, depth and same with the pads. I banged my head in the wall for a...

I own Audio-Technica AD700 and now, I'm having issues with the left sound working only when the cable is tilted a certain way (cat damaged cable). Also, sound leakage is a bit of a problem. Came across ATH-M50x + an audio recorder of ~$80 value for $144 after rebate, obviously a good deal. I...
