So I was dead-set on the TMA-1 (even though it's not full-size, I'm just looking for any headphone in the >$250 price range right now.) However, I'm not sure if it is the best choice at that price range. Let me reboot this discussion with a clarification of my music tastes. The headphone I'm...

Okay, so I had a chance to try out the HD25-1 II at B&H. Unfortunately, they didn't have the TMA-1, so I couldn't A/B, but I really liked the HD25. I thought it had a similar sound sig to the M100 (which I like very much), but what do I know, I'm not an audiophile. Anyway, I think some of the...

bump.

How about the Ultrasone PRO 900? I can probably get a cheap one for around $350. I've heard that its bass is the best, but it has a slightly recessed midrange, and sibilant treble. I suppose I could stand the recession and sibilance if it has the best (and deepest) bass. Right now, I'm sort of...

I already have the M-100. I like its sound signature, but I feel its bass could have a bit more impact. The amount of bass is perfect, though it doesn't really go as deep as I would like. I'm thinking the DT770 would be great for home listening as it is supposed to be very comfortable, but I've...

Seeing reviews for the M-Audio Q40, I'm intrigued. How would they compare to the ones I've already listed?

Now how would the DT770 compare? I've heard that the bass extension and impact is excellent, but I've also heard that about the 580's. Would the ~$50 price difference justify the SQ difference?

I've heard the ESW9 praised for its ability with more mid-centric genres - not necessarily bass-oriented ones. How would its extension and impact fare with the HD25? Certainly I would want good mids, but not at the sacrifice of bass.

Alright, so I already have a couple full-sized headphones in my collection, but what I seem to be lacking are some portables (supra-aural). I can't exactly A/B many headphones nearby, so I've mostly stuck to online reviews. After a bit of searching, I decided that the Sennheiser HD25-1...

  1) Primarily home use.   2) I do have the FiiO E17 if necessary.   3) Absolutely. You know what, I don't even need this thread. I'll sell my house and buy some Studios. If you don't see how good they are then you are an idiot. They trump even the LCD-3's. /sarcasm

I'm thinking the HFI-580 is a good choice. Preferred genres are DnB, EDM, electro-house. My budget is <$350. Preferably one which has great bass impact, good mids, and the treble doesn't really matter, although I don't like it to be aggressive or sibilant. Any recommendations?

I love these headphones, the sound is great, but then I found out that the earcups were removable. I took out one earcup, then the other, from the sockets. But, when I put them back in their place, I found that they now felt flimsy, and would move very easily. This caused problems, as now the...

Quote:   No, but you can order one using this design I found:       You're welcome :)   EDIT: What gallery view is screwed up for this picture

I'm just about to order an M-100(I'm late, I know), and I am currently undecided on these two designs.   <link>   and   <link>     EDIT: Nevermind, I've chosen the second one. This is what it will look like on the shield:         Nice, eh?

Sells for $199 new on Amazon

I don't think a gaming headset will do you best. I think your best bet is the V-MODA M100(if you have $300 to spare :P), as it has two jacks, so you can just buy a mic off eBay or something to plug into one of them, then plug the cable into the other end. It's a great multipurpose headphone...

Yeah, I think the M-80 might be a better choice, at least for me. I think in the future, though, I might order the Zoro just to piss Beats owners off with their superior audio :)

I too would like to see a comparison between these two. I've heard the Zoro is a very good sounding headphone for it's price, but can it beat the M-80, over twice the cost?

Ok, thanks for all your recommendations and opinions. I do have another question, however. It's not really related to this specific forum(portables), but I thought it worth a shot to ask. How does the Beyerdynamic DT880 250ohm fare with sub-bass, and soundstage?(also, will the FiiO E17 be enough...

Ok, I think I've now narrowed it down to the M-80 and DT1350, I think the HD25 might not give me the bass extension I want. The problem is, people have different opinions on these headphones, it seems. Unfortunately, I don't exactly live near any headphone stores where I can audition them. The...

I'm looking for a (portable) pair of headphones with great sub-bass, while retaining excellent mid bass, treble, and good mids. I will, however, allow for a lack of bass, as I can boost it with my FiiO. I just want great bass response, GREAT sub bass, and good treble and mids. I've narrowed my...
