@Cb/Hawaii: What's your opinions on the new Beats Solo 2s and Beats Mixrs? Really love the way they look and wouldn't mind having an alternative pair to my XS's. I feel like I've been bitten by the headphone bug all over again. It's only a matter of time before I have 10 pairs laying around O_o lol.

  Ohhhh those are sexy! I went with the all blacks, can't go wrong.       I couldn't agree more! The default distaste of mainstream brands by the majority of head-fiers is disgusting. It's like little kids battling over which console is best. Give credit where it's due folks.    On...

Thanks for the recommendations fellas. As suggested, I've ended up ordering the V-Moda XS! I think they strike an ideal balance of portability, durability, and bass unamped. I got a chance to listen to them in-store and was very satisfied. I wasn't really ever looking for cannons although one...

I wanted to bring a post I made in another thread over here to get your guys opinion on the matter (http://www.head-fi.org/t/719539/best-bass-hitting-headphones-under-300-preferably-unamped/15):   "Although I've read through and watched all of cb's and hawaiiboys videos on basshead cans they...

Bump! Although I've read through and watched all of cb's and hawaiiboys videos on basshead cans they all pertain to optimal situations (amp+dac). This particular thread intrigues me because OP is seeking the ideal basshead cans WITHOUT an amp and/or plugged straight into iPhone/PC. If I recall...

I'm very interested in the Skullcandy Slyrs now after reading your review. Honestly, I would have never considered them prior. I'd love to see them make an open version. Would be perfect! I plan on purchasing them here soon, I'll report back with my impressions.

Don't know if it's been mentioned or not yet, but Plantronics has just released their new RIG headset + mixamp combo.   Check it out: http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-Stereo-Gaming-Headset-Xbox-360/dp/B00EV00N02 Video Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgDzFuDczKY   I absolutely love...

I'll expand on my post but a good gaming mouse is made primarily of two important factors: shape and performance. Shape is a subjective matter and will be something you have to decide for yourself. Performance on the other hand can be pinpointed to several factors the most important of which are...

Awesome review Steggy! I don't think you've made a clear point as to which you consider the best for gaming. So, what would they be (headphone or headset)? Also, look forward to your review of the DT880 and especially the Psykos.

So, basically your saying they do what there supposed to by producing an exceptional ability to distinguish directional sound? PS. What's with the lack of reviews!?!?! It's obvious some of you do own, or have owned the Psykos. We need reviews from head-fiers!

Interesting comparison but as usual, it was done in a completely uncontrolled manner. Where's the standerzied test? Where's the variables, data, etc? Until someone does a controlled experiement this is nothing more then an opinion.

So, any updates on these? Do we have head-fiers in possession of a pair yet?

I'll bring this over from another thread to continue the discussion here: No headphone are superior to the other for gaming. As long as the headphones you pick don't mask the frequencies that matter (ie. footsteps) ANY pair of headphones will do. I've gamed with cheap Sony Earbuds to AD700s...

No headphone are superior to the other for gaming. As long as the headphones you pick don't mask the frequencies that matter (ie. footsteps) ANY pair of headphones will do. I've gamed with cheap Sony Earbuds to AD700s and HD595s and guess what? They allowed me to pinpoint direction exactly the...

You know, I always see these reviews on gaming headphones but for some reason I just don't agree that there are superior headphones for directional audio. I've been gaming for years now (competitively on/off) and I've used everything from $10 Sony earbuds to the HD555s and I honestly could not...
