Just a warning! I've owned 3 pairs of K 240s so far and while I didn't want to jump to conclusions initially, I've realized there are some counterfeits out there. The first pair I bought was during the transition from Austria to China. The second pair I purchased (and reviewed) were quite...

As the title says, what are the closed headphones (I need some for tracking vocals) that sound closest to my beloved K 702s?

Hi,   I've settled on K 702s as my main headphones but I still need closed-back tracking head phones. I'm considering re-buying the SRH840s which I liked a lot but that's so boring. Does anyone have some photos of the SRH840s and KRK 8400s side by side? I can't seem to turn any up googling...

Which frequency graphs are generally more reliable, Inner Fidelity or Headroom? Some of the charts on Headroom seem really erratic.

Does anyone have both of these to compare?   I'm going to assume by default that the 550 is an improvement in clarity and isolation, and I've heard it's less amp-hungry.   However what I'm most curious about is the bass. I love the overall sound signature of my 240s but the bass doesn't...

  Shootout Shure SRH840 vs M-Audio Q-40 vs Ultrasone HFI-580 vs AKG K240S   This is a pretty diverse group of brands. Shure was established in 1925, M-Audio in 1998. AKG leans toward the stubbornly retro school of design, while Ultrasound has all sorts of quirky technologies within their...

I'm in love with the build quality of my HFI-580s but the scooped mids and piercing treble are killing me. Despite the "S-Logic", they're very fatiguing.   What are some Ultrasone models, if any, with more emphasis on mid-range detail and less of this "trying to sleep with a vulture...

Hi,   In the mail right now with my name on them are:   Shure SRH840 M-Audio Q-40 AKG-240S Ultrasone HFI-580   I don't plan on keeping all of them and want to quickly narrow it down to which are my favorites. Does anyone have any song recommendations for testing headphone...

I'm messing around with an '80s Pioneer amplifier I acquired, and being an '80s music fanatic, I'm pretty thrilled to realize that it sounds awesome (comparing to a modern $400 Harman-Kardon).   Since I'm a headphone newbie, I got to wondering which headphones were really the cat's meow in...

OK audio engineers so I have HFI-580s in the mail after hearing about their awesome bass. My problem is I don't really like the look and personally, I'm a big fan of giant, huge, phones, not just swiveling "DJ-sized" phones.   I just read this courtesy of Ultrasone:    "The PRO 550...

Hey,   Until I really fall in love with a pair of phones and can justify spending 100-200 bucks on them I thought I'd get one of these highly praised $30 sets w/ free 2-day shipping from Amazon.   It seems like the HTF600 is more celebrated on here but the JVCs look better and comfier...

Hello forum,   So I need a pair of big comfortable headphones for fall semester at college. I have a Harmon Kardon amp and tons of audio/recording/musician gear, but 90% of the time I'll be using them for music on my laptop (with or without an external amp/interface).   I never planned...
