In order to improve domestic harmony, I’d like a pair of headphones for living room gaming. They must be -       Closed with very low leakage -       Support Surround Sound -       Wireless -       Sound good without a huge bass boost -       Circumaural and comfortable for extended...

I've ordered Comply t-400, here's hoping they're good.

On holiday in Spain, I lost my beloved Phonak Audéo PFE 111 earphones, as a stopgap I ordered the relatively cheap JVC HA-FRD60 IEMS, I'm quite pleasantly surprised with the sound quality for the price but the tips are quite uncomfortable. Can anyone recomment comfortable tips, ideally as...

Thanks for the tip. I'd like to try headphones again but I just don't know if what I'm looking for exists!

I ordered the Beyerdynamic T51 P, they'll be here next week, thanks a lot.

They look fantastic, thanks for the tip!

Hi,   I use AKG K550 in the office and my IEMs are Phonak Audeo 111 but I'd like portable headphones to use when travelling as a change from my IEMs. I have quite a large head and I'm struggling to find a pair that will sound great, be comfortable and provide low leakage and decent isolation...

My system is as follows:   VPI Classic 1 Sony SCD-777ES SACD Player Whest PS.30R Phono Stage Musical Fidelity A5CR Pre Amp 2xMusical Fidelity A3CR Power Amps bi-wired (All amps upgraded by John Sampson) ProAc D15 Speakers Pioneer SC-LX75 Receiver Grover Huffman Phono...

I went for Phonak Audéo PFE 111 in the end.  Hpefully the right choice...

Bump.

What's your budget?

My old ER4s have seen better days but I barely use them anyway as I find them so uncomfortable for more than 15 minutes. In the office I use AKG K550 headphones which I'm very happy with, I bought Sennheisser HD-25 II for portable use but they're also uncomfortable after some time as I have...

Quote: Thanks a lot for all your help. It doesn't sound like any of these headphones will do. Maybe I need to stick with some Circulaural headphones that are as portable as possible. Any suggestions?

Quote: I listen mostly to rock/indie music, in terms of sound I lie a fairly neutral, leaning to warm sound. I'm very pleased with my AKG K550 headphones for home use.

Quote: How comfortable are they for big heads? What about isolation, leakage and sensitivity?

Sounds like they wouldn't be any better than my HD25-1 II . What about the V'MODA Crossfade M80? What else should I look at?

How comfortable are these headphones for extended use? I've given up on my Etymotic ERP-4 IEMs due to lack of comfort and also my Sennheiser HD25-SP II as I find them too unconfortable after a while due to having a large head. I'd love to be to replace them both for something that will have...

Hi, I'm looking for portable headphones, must be comfortable for big heads!   For home use I have AKG K550 which I'm very happy with. For portable use I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD-25 II which sound ok but I find uncomfortable for extended periods or when wearing glasses so I gave...

Hi,   For home use I have AKG K550 which I'm very happy with. For portable use I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD-25 II which sound ok but I find uncomfortable for extended periods or when wearing glasses, I do have a large head! For years I have owned  a pair of Etymotic ER-4s which I...

I can't find any headphones more suitable for me than the AKG K550, am I missing something?   I want closed headphones with as close to zero leakage as possible and good isolation with a balanced to smooth sound to listen to mostly indie/rock/pop music, initially on an iPhone but may add an...

Quote: Thanks but I'd like to try something different with ideally less leakage.  

I use them mostly with my iPhone and have been considering a small headphone amplifier but have read so many mixed reports on how much of a difference in SQ it's likely to make unless the headphones are a bitch to drive. I'm open minded though.

Oh, another consideration is that my head is on the large size, e.g. I find my Sennheiser HD25-1 II's uncomfortable after wearing them for a while.   The AKG K550's look very interesting..

Thanks a lot, I'll have a look at them. Budget of around USD300 but I could be flexible (I'm in Europe anyway).

After a few years, my Audio Technica's are dying and need replaced, they have too much leakage ow anyway. I'm looking for closed, supra aural headphones that are comfortable and have minimal leakage as I'll use them every day at work. I listen mostly to rock/indie/pop music and like a fairly...
