I have been a long time user of the ATH-M50's but I'm looking for something different. I'd like to experience my music with an expansive sound stage, good imaging, clarity throughout the spectrum, and good bass. I'm looking to spend below $300. I'm not a fan of headphones with high and mids...

Was looking into getting one of Fiio's cheap DAPs. One of the ones that are around $100 can on Amazon. Mostly looking into it cause I'm tired of issues with iPhones deleting songs randomly and songs not staying in playlists and such. Recently lost 4 gigs of random music, and had to restore my...

I need a new laptop, but I'm not in the best position financially ATM. My current one is too old, too many issues, and might not last me much longer. The most I can probably spend is around $600 Canadian.   I'm a multi-tasker so I need something that can handle doing a couple things at once...

What's Head-Fi's impressions on these headphones? If you own them or even just had a chance to hear them I would like to know what you thought. You can be as detailed as possible. How do they sound and what is the build quality like?

I just got my 1st pair of Beyerdynamics in the mail today. I won a pair of Custom Street from Audio 46's Youtube channel.   They work great and the build quality seems great as well, but I was just wondering about the sound of these and if they are fairly representative of the Beyer House...

I was wondering if I could get a little help with the analysis aspect of sound quality?   I have done only 1 official review on this site and it's all over the place. I'd like to try my hand at another review as I'm expecting a new pair of HP's to arrive in the next few weeks.   The one...

What do the open ports on supposed "Closed Back" headphones generally do to the sound? What happens when those ports are closed off from inside the headphone?   I'd like to do some further modding on my pair of Audio Technica ATH-Pro5mk3. So far I stuffed the cups with teased out cotton balls...

My girlfriend asked me if I might want headphones for gaming for Christmas. Not really sure I want one. She probably wants to buy me a pair so she doesn't hear me gaming lol.     This is something I never really thought about, and I'm not sure how audio works wirelessly with the PS3 (Yes I'm...

I'm considering picking up a pair of Shure SRH440 headphones for home studio and daily computer use. The only thing I'm concerned about with them is the headband material cracking and flaking over time.   I typically use my headphones for at least a few hours a day, sometimes almost all day...

I'm considering ordering a cheap pair of headphones from Aliexpress. I'm wondering what other people's experiences have been ordering from the site?   I also came across a few brands that looked interesting. ISK and Somic. Anyone know anything about these brands? Are they OEM or knock off...

As far as pleather ear pads are concerned, lately I've just been wiping the ear pads down after every use with a dry micro fibre cloth. Seems to work OK, but not sure if I should use water or some kind of detergent every once in awhile too?   I've only had my velour ear pads for about 9...

LOL   Definitely fakes out there! At least they aren't actually branded as M50's or even Audio Technica at all, but I'm still pretty.....amazed.  ...

    http://www.eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=5&subID=40&prodID=4726   Anyone have any knowledge or educated/experienced speculation on when this model will be released in North America?   The previous model: ATH-Pro5MK2cm is currently discontinued.   The ATH-Pro5MK3...

  See the foam ring around the metal covering of the driver? That part disintegrated on my MDR-CD900ST and I would like to replace it. Since It's gone the bass has gone with it.   Any ideas on how to get this or some kind of similar material and DIY a solution?   So far tried a huge craft...

A new Dr. Dre album is finally coming out. It's been since 1999 since we heard a new official project from the legendary Producer/Rapper/Executive/Entrepreneur.   With the Straight Outta Compton movie coming out soon as well, this project is dropping at the perfect time. I'm really excited to...

edit:

I bought a pair of German Maestro 8.35 D that had a defective part in the headband mechanism. Sent those back and the replacement pair has a buzz in the left channel starting around 100 hz and going down. No hair or anything on the driver. I'm thinking the driver itself is defective so those...

I want to know what albums you heard were recorded, mixed, and mastered in such a way that blows your mind when you listen to them on your headphones!???!!!   Genre? Whatever you like!   Does it have to be great music as well? No! As long as it blows your mind sonically!   Exceptional...

I was at the mall today and as usual when I have time I like to go audition whatever new headphones I see that are available to do so. I came across a new Sony priced around $80 Canadian that caught my ear & eye. The MDRZX660APB. I immediately liked it's cool grey colour and straight forward...

I saw this movie on Netfilx titled Big Words. It's about 3 guys who were in a rap group and things didn't work out for them and they went their separate ways. After a number of years later their paths cross and the movie is about this time.    The DJ/Producer of the group wears these...

Edit: issue resolved

I'm on my quest to replace my ATH-M50. Had it for many years, it's old, and I want a change. I'm leaning ATM most heavily towards purchasing a DT 770. I think I will really enjoy having my own pair of these. However, as I started digging further into information about them, I keep running into...

I'm looking for a small lightweight comfortable closed clan that has relatively balanced sound. Something that I could get away with doing preliminary mixes on an iPad with.   My main home studio can is the ATH-M50 and I'm looking for a smaller, lightweight approximation of it.   I have been...

I'm looking for replacement ear pads for the Yamaha RH-5Ma. I realize there are no official replacements from Yamaha, so what other ear pads will fit?   I would be very happy if I can find pads that fit that are made from something other than that cheap sprayed on pleather type. I'm not too...
