I actually think Beats are a great gateway into the higher level of listening world. I used to always think that my little earbuds would do me fine. Then one day I walked into a Best Buy and there was the beats stand, so I tried em on. Fell in love with the way they sounded (at the time) and...

I highly recommend giving the Koss KSC75 a try. They can be bought for less than $15 on Amazon and I must say, they are a truly amazing headphone, especially at this price. I have a pair of Bose QC15 that I use for noise cancelling, and I honestly listen to my KSC75's more often because I think...

Thanks for the advice. Haven't really thought about it that way, I already have some of the best noise cancelling phones made so why not go for an open back that will give me the sound I have been craving. I'll do some research on those cans you mentioned. Think I'm going to look into the HD 558...

I own QC15 and the noise cancelling is indeed unmatched. I think you nailed it when you compared it to witchcraft. You can't even hear outside noise on a super low volume.

Ya, just don't worry bout it. I used to argue with kids at school and no matter what, they don't budge from their beats standpoint. I gave up and I just let em do what they want now. Your have just chosen to educate yourself more on the topic and they haven't, maybe they will eventually choose...

Would something like the M50's or a pair of Crossfade's be an upgrade sound quality wise? I really like the way my QC15's sound but I know Bose generally isn't respected around here so I am getting this feeling of ignorance I guess where the only reason I am content is because it is the best I...

I would be interested in an Ohio meet. I'm near the Akron area but I don't have much equipment to contribute (a beat up pair of QC15). Also I don't get my license for a few months and my schedule doesn't always permit so I don't think I would be able to travel too far. Now if we did one next...

I personally own the Bose QC15 and the noise cancellation is by far superior to pretty much any other headphone from my experience. I don't have the funds to try high end headphones but I really like my QC15's. I would recommend them for someone who is in noisy environments and when comparing...

This is gonna be good...

Ya I know, they wouldn't be like that if I had bought em new :( Person who gave em to me had beat em up pretty bad. Can't complain about free headphones though, they get the job done :D lol

Right now I am using a pair of Bose QC15. A friend of my dad gave them to me a couple months ago. He had lost the original cable that Bose makes for them so I went and picked up a Belkin Auxiliary cable so I could try em out(mainly cause I'm lazy and impatient and didn't feel like waiting for em...

School was called off due to wind today and while browsing Head-Fi I came across this thread. So I decided to make my own headphone stand. An hour and a half with a handsaw, sandpaper, a hot glue gun, and some extra wood outta the garage and I ended up with this. I wanna polish it up still so I...

I think I will do the amazon thing. Get headphones I think I will like, let em run all night to burn em in. And If I like them then I will just keep em. If not return em.

Never personally tried them, but have researched them a lot and I think they will suit what you want! Plus they are a VERY cheap headphone compared to the beats, you can get them for around $50. Plus you won't look like a follower by wearing something that EVERYBODY has. Beats are more of a...

I have been looking around the site here more and I have seen the Ultrasone HFI-580's get recommended a couple times. Supposedly they  are supposed to have more bass with an improvement from the mids of the M50's. Do these headphones have good highs as well? From what I have read they may be a...
