I listen to a large variety of music. Primarily progressive and alternative rock (Floyd and Radiohead) but also Indie Rock, New-Wave Techno, and a lot of Hip-Hop. Sound wise: Looking for fun-sounding, forward V-shaped sound; but don't want some bass dominating IEM, an analytical sound would...

Mods are welcome to delete/lock my other thread. I feel I have streamlined my question now and can provide a clearer thread title, in which I'd love some direct comparisons.  Prices I can get them for: >MDR1RBT: £220/$355~ I feel these are proportionately overpriced? >M1BTBL/00: £155/$250...

I listen to almost exclusively hip-hop, but it certainly isn't bass dominated and has lots of orchestral highs places throughout. So I guess I'm looking for a balanced sound. I am unsure as to whether I want Closed or Open headphones. Closed would be a slight advantage; however, aren't...

Having realized that after breaking 5 headphones and IEMs I've realized that 4 of these have been me either snapping the cable, or breaking the jack on the end of the cable. Conclusion: I need a decent pair of headphones and IEMs with detatchable cables so I can easily buy new cables. > I...

I've broken my last 6 pairs, usually while weightlifting at the gym or while cycling. I've broken 2 pairs of headphones, including my Creative Aurvana Lives, while at the bar (barbell hit audio jack= broken jack). Yesterday I was cycling to my friends with my Soundmagic e10s, I dismounted...

I had some CALs, but I was foolish and sadly broke them. I heard some soundmagic e10s and surprisingly really liked the sound. Before I purchase them, are there any other similar sounding rivals, either cheaper, or better for a similar price? THanks.

-Firstly, is there a high risk that I'll have to pay a tonne of customs importing the HA-S680s from Japan to the UK? I've been planning on buying the CALs for a few months now, but I also realized I can get the JVCs for $88 too, which would you recommend, or perhaps others? I listen to...

Hi, I have some JVC HA-M750s for $50, they were decent, although somewhat lacking in general, and they're broken now. I currently have some Sony MDR 570LPs for $45. The are ok, but the sound is sloppy and weak, far too laid back. They lack any strong bass and the high notes (like violins...

I managed to get these for £40 ($60) during Amazon.co.uk black friday, they're usually £80 ($120) so I figured as I've heard good stuff about them, it's a good choice.   However I just remember the Soundmagic E10's are £31 at the moment, and apparently they're pretty good too? And are there...

Ok, I am a kid, therefore am on a tight budget, however if there is something amazing for $80 that blows everything around that price range away, I can stretch, but ideally not.   60% of the music I listen to is dubstep 30% Random other (mainly internet stuff, with some rap+hip-hop) 10%...

Hello, I am looking for some general purpose headphones for all types on music and games, not looking to spend too much.   Any suggestions?  

I play games and listen to pretty much all types of music apart from- Country, Classical and Jazz.   And money is no object, what are the or one of the best IEM's?

I will be chatting to my friends for about an hour a day so need a mic.   Ideally buy-able in England a fairly cheap.   Thanks :)

I'm about to buy them now, and just wondered whether I was making a grave mistake, this will be my first headphone buy.   I'm going to mod them to make them sound more like th5 595's, I will be aminly using them for gaming with the Astro Mixamp, but will also be using them for pop, hip-hop...

Anybody got a link for the best guide?   And just general opinions on these headphones.

Or does it need another amp to add to is as well.   Also, what would you reccomend the FiiO e5 for £20, FiiO E7 for £60, or the FiiO E9 for £85   Thanks.   EDIT- these are for Koss KSC75's.

  OK, so I'm looking for some budget gaming headphones for around £10-80, I play ALL kinds of games. In Mad Lust Envy's gamign headphones guide he recommended the Creative Aurvana's Live's they are £50, they scored 8 for fun, and 7 for competetive.   He also recommended the KSC75's are...

What are the best for games, I have found them both for around £60

What is it? is it worth it for my creative aurvana live's (my only headphones)?   What does it do; is it good for games? (I will be using my creative aurvana live's for games)   Where can I get this, and does this replace and amp? Or a sound card?

Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob with all the amp business, do the need an amp if I listen to them through my pc?   If so which one?

Are these decent?   I don't need any sound isolation or portability but it would be nice.   I will be playing mainly adventure RPG games, with a bit of FPS; and have found these for £55

I will be gaming on my pc using a good sound card.   I had decided that I would get The AD700's that are £110 on amazon.   But then I read that the KSC75's give them a run for their money; but they're only £12?   Can a £12 headphone really be as good as a top £110 gaming headphone...

I will be playing games on these on my gaming computer which has a high quality sound card; do I need an amp?   Also are these good headphones?

I wondered how much better the upgrades were, and whether they were worth £30 more. I'm planning on modding them.

I am looking for some headphones to use for gaming on my pc. It has a top of the range sound card.   Ideally under £120, may push budget if it's worth it.   I don't need any sound isolation or portability.   Oh, and I need a mic. or ability to ad a mic.   The only games I play...
