I bought these about a month ago, and have been using them for a while to make sure I give real impressions. I like to use my new headphones for a while before passing judgement to get that "new toy" feeling time to pass. I have had many many headphones, including most of the usual suspects...

I took a chance and bought the new TDK st560s in black. I have tried a few of their headphones before and like them, they usually run rather neutral in sound for the higher models, bassy in lower end.  These come in a small box, just headphones, detachable cable, and pamphlet. The cable has a...

These headphones caught my eye as soon as I learned of them. I love well built, physically tough headphones (and nice sounding of course!), and these seemed to fit the bill. I waited until the price fell and finally picked up a set. The box is nothing special and inside is just the headphones...

These are my impressions of the Zagg zr-le wood headphones- this is the bamboo model. Another obvious Esmooth oem, I have tried 3 others here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/710947/tribeca-wood-headphones-esmooth-oems-with-mixed-results . I have now tried all but the rectangular shaped Esmooth...

I tried a few tribeca wood headphones. The 1st one I got- the "studio" impressed me enough to try the "performance" and the "aviator". These seem to be esmooth oems all the way. I'll got from worst to best here:   1. The performance wood headphones is the smallest,-on ear type. The build is...

Sigh, I just saw this ad for a Sony cd3000 http://www.ebay.com/itm/SONY-MDR-CD3000-/301089551987?pt=UK_AudioVisualElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_Headphones&hash=item461a55f673   -which is way too rich for me, but I had a like new cd3000 a few years ago and sold it for about $450 here- a great price...

Got one of these from my work rewards program :) I'll jump right in, these are big, 1st thing you notice holding these is the headband. It's big, heavy, and has metal adjusters.The rest of the headphone is plastic, feels sturdy but looks too gaudy and flashy. Cups swivel dj style. Has a mic...

new JVC ham55x 'xtreme xplosives' headphones here. being a long time jvc fan, had to try one.  1st, some pics: (with a fostex for size comparison)         Build: feel cheap and plasticky but sturdy, typical low end jvc, can probably handle some abuse. earpads are thick and comfy...

I am a sucker for metal and leather headphones! I love the sound of metal cups and metal mesh the best and currently own too many headphones of this variety because I cant bring myself to sell any. I recently acquired the California Headphones Silverado model, which is their larger circumaural...

So I had a fake beats pro I thought was real until I got a real one (wow big sound difference). the fake one is nicely made, with metal parts, and real leather pads, but sounded like a low end jvc or sennheiser. it just sat in my garage for a long time. I recently got a sony xb500 that needed...

I recently bought a philips SHP8000, has to be imported, not available in USA. I like the philips uptown, but it is too hard to drive as a  portable, and true to Philips, have a design mistake (lousy cheap cable and volume control). So I spotted these a while back and since I liked some of...

Alot of peeps- including me- put srh840 pads on their srh440 headphones for better comfort and sound. I recently tried putting the brainwaz hm5 pads on and the sound got even better. Slightly more bass and stage.  And the earpads look pretty good too :)  

just got this for 30 shipped. seems i got lucky, these are 50 all over.impressions soon     Ok, a few quick impressions:   1st of all-these are NOT better than an rx700. unless u love bass!   packaging- blister pack- I pretty much had to destroy the package to get these out.   ...

Just got a corsair hs1a headset. this is the analog version-has regular plugs- the other version is a usb connector. This has been getting glowing reviews on the net, so being a gamer I got one. These seem well built, solid, nice constrction. deep cups, nice pads, Not creaky. very 'ultrasone'...

take a look:   http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Audio-Technica-ATH-M50-Headphones-M50-ATHM50-Bulk-/250699341276?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5ed85ddc#ht_921wt_704   seems to be. a sad day for us due to counterfeits once again.

I have long championed the jvc rx700 as the budget king full sized headphone. No other sub 50$ full size (notice i said full size mr portapro/px100/etc " class="bbcode_smiley" height="" src="http://files.head-fi.org/images/smilies//smily_headphones1.gif" title="" width="" /> ) headphone came...

I spotted these a few months ago, and being an audio technica fan, they caught my attention. these are the highest model in the 'T' lineup and are only available from Japan at the moment. I took the plunge -from audiocubes- cost about 110$ shipped- and 2 weeks later they are here!   these...

i recently got a dt531 off the forums here with one bad driver.i intended to replace the one driver, but when i finally got around to it, i tested the headphone, and now the other driver is acting up! (the 1st driver was melted and hopeless) a week ago i got a cheap ebay koss ktxpro. these use...

just got a pair from ebay. in primo condition, except for missing chrome cup caps. built like a tank, thick soft rubber cushions, steel headband, very thick braided cloth cord. these arent breaking any time soon! squeezes on you head, a little isolating, i am going to guess these were supposed...

here: Sennheiser HD490 Live Headphones *NEW* - eBay (item 110507605828 end time Mar-22-10 19:30:23 PDT) not a big deal, but this was my 1st 'real' headphone way back when. i traded them off in favor of a plantronics headset -way b4 i knew much about audio saw this ebay listing and had to...

i was pointed to rock grotto, a euro based audio forum, and discovered that the superlux hd681 is a popular budget can there, much like the jvc harx700 is arounf here. also found a lengthy mod thread/ apparently, the hd681 has a substandard cable. while not a big believer in recabling (i have a...

i had a pair of these back when i started my headfi journey. a few members swore by these, but not many opinions out there. armed with only a cmoy amp, i was underwhelmed. they also clamped onto my head like a vise. loved the heavy duty build though. soon sold them off... a few years later. i...

the ultra cheap kanen woodie has gathered some interest. i got one, and of course found its sound lacking. the bass was nice, but muddy, highs way too recessed. still nice for 18$. some quick disassembly showed the 40mm drivers glued into a barrel housing. a little work with a tiny screwdriver...

my kids use my pc for their various games and such, and have gotten into the habit of putting on whatever headphones are there at the time. i generally leave out acceptable (value-wise) headphones for them to use. well, now my 7 yr old wants to always use audio technica ath-m7pro headphones...

i have been on the lookout for one of these and finally scored one! i have had the ss-20 for a long time and was impressed by it. the ss-80 is Sansui's top dynamic headphone that they made (there is an ss-100 ortho) the specs are 200 ohms, 20-20k hz. unlike the other cans in its lineup these...
