Hi all.    Im in search of a headphone that provides rich mids, with exceptional clarity / separation.  Also would like decent, controlled bass but not too overpowering.  Budget is $300 or less.  Will consider higher priced headphones if Im sure they TRULY meet my needs (im sick of jumping...

hi, I can make it there!  I live in nassau county and I will drop by, but Im new to audiophile still only been a month or so :(

M50 benefits from my E6 amp.  Sounds a lot richer on the treble boost

Anyone saying grados wont benefit from amping / appropriate source is dead wrong.  I have a 500 dollar desktop dac/amp setup that blows my mind with all my headphones including the grados.

I recently acquired a D2K and i gotta say its VERY overhyped on this site, no offense.  Sure the bass is stronger than the M50 and the mids are too recessed, which makes it a boring headphone to listen to.

I buy!   Quote:  

Quote:   Yea lol I am trying them the mid fi headphones out to see which ones suit me.  Not really interested in high fi levels yet because I want to get comfortable in the type of headphones I prefer.  So far I can already tell that I dont like the HD 600s.  The neutral sound isnt for...

I will adapt to this new headphone.

I hear the HD598 is a more "fun" headphone, it is similar to the nature of the M50s?  maybe i can trade the HD600 for HD598s

Is tonal balance really enough to give these headphones outstanding ratings?  Does it really justify the cost?  Pardon me since I'm new I want to appreciate these headphones but I cant :(  How can I appreciate these headphones more?

Just got a lightly used HD600 last week.  Listened to it for only a few minutes and I was completely disappointed.  I consider myself a newbie and the only pair of headphoens I have is the ATH-M50, which is a great headphone when I use it with my Fiio e6 amp.  The HD600 was so boring to my ears...

Quote: Been waiting for this for ages....thanks for the heads up!

Are these better than d7000s/d5000s?

Which headphones has the best sound out of these?    Denon D7000 Thunderpants Darth Beyer   Thanks

I listen to movie soundtracks becuz my goal in life is to become a dark superhero.  so the closest I can ever get to becoming one is to listen to the orchestral music and dream :)

Thanks man just want to justify the purchase lollll

Guys I want to buy Denon D2000's but I have the M50's which sound great with an amp.  How much better are the D2000's and are they worth to get if I have the M50s??? Are they that much better?? thanks!

I have the m50 with a fiio e6, a cheap but decent amp by head-fi standards.  When I first got the M50 it was very unimpressive out of the headphone jack of my laptop.  I previously had cheap JVC HA-RX700's that I got used to and wanted better headphones, and these m50's sounded not much better. ...

Sony XB500 headphones have awesome bass, decent quality, and are cheap

Hi im new to head fi but I live in nassau county and im thinking about popping by in the morning before work... but I'll think about it

Beats certainly got me to this forum 3 days ago.  Was surprised how crappy the sound was and decided to look for more options.  Amazon was no help, so I kept searching and found head-fi.org.  Its only been 3 days and im sealing purchases on HD600, Denon AH-D2000, Grado 225, and possibly...
