Thanks for the recommendations! How does the HD439 compare to the HD239? Does it have any advantages because it's over-ear? Also, what do you mean by "relaxed" treble; I couldn't find it in the glossary.

I hadn't looked at the HD 239, but thanks for bringing it to my attention! Pleather is fine; I'm just trying to avoid any animal products. I'll definitely consider this headphone! It's more affordable than the Momentum On-Ear (another one that I'm considering), and it's probably not as bass...

Bump, because I updated the first post.

Thanks for the recommendation, cel!   The HP150 looks so big, though. I guess I should add that I'd like the headphones to be smaller than my Sony MDR-V6.

Update (August 10) - This snippet made me want the HD-650:   Quote:   However the HD-650 is out of my price range. I do have the MX980, they're my favorite headphones that I own, and I'm looking for a similar sound. Is there anything like that out there between the MX980 and the HD-650...

Here's an amp comparison video:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeohyoFYb0U   The difference between the amps is huge. I like the first one better (granted, I wasn't in the room, just listening on YouTube). However, the man in the video didn't reveal the price of either amp. Also he didn't...

You're welcome!

The only earphones I recognize at that site for 50LEI or less are the JVC HA-F150. They look similar to the HA-F130 which I have read good things about here on Head-Fi. However, the F150 is a newer model and it could be another case of the manufacturer messing up a good product.

My earbuds have better clarity than my canalphones. However my earbuds (Sennheiser MX880, MX980) are some of the best available, but with my canalphones (Sony MDR-NC13) sound quality seems to be second in importance to noise cancellation.

Do you happen to have an iOS device? There are some apps (like Accudio and Audyssey) that can really improve the sound of some headphones, including cheap ones. Audyssey in particular really helps with my Sony MDR-NC13.   I wouldn't buy the Sony MDR-E9LP because I've read reviews on Amazon...

If you can afford it, buy both. That way you can use whichever you're in the mood for. Usually I prefer the open sound of classic earbuds, but sometimes I want to use in-ear headphones (or, in my case, canalphones) to block out outside noise. Also, sometimes I want more bass, so I use the...

There's another iOS app that lets you choose your specific headphone. It's called UBiO. I haven't tried it because, out of all my headphones, it only supports one (my Apple earbuds) and I don't want to pay $5 just for that. Here's the list of supported 'phones.

At first I thought that the Momentum On-Ear wouldn't fit into my style, because I try to avoid buying products with leather or suede on them. However, I did a little searching and found out that the material that resembles suede is actually Alcantara, which is not animal based. As for the sound...

This app makes my Sony MDR-NC13 sound OK. Without it, the NC13 is unlistenable. The app also changes the sound of my Sony MDR-V6, but it's not as essential as it is with the NC13. I'd like to use it with my Sennheiser MX880 and MX980, but Audyssey doesn't have headphone profiles for those...

I have the free version of this app and it keeps opening this URL (in Safari) whenever I press play. Is this happening to anyone else?
