I have narrowed my selection down to these three, with a $100 budget. The headphones will be used 8 hours a day. For radio/podcasting and gaming/music in the evening. I would have checked out Sennheiser and Audio Technica, but as I previously said, the markup in Canada is atrocious.   I am...

I am looking for a pair of headphones that are $50 or under (don't hesitate to recommend something thats even $20). They will be used constantly. For Podcasting/radio monitoring audio while mixing, movies, music, gaming etc..   There are a couple catches though. They can't be Sennheiser or...

I picked up the HD555's (120OHM) to go with my Zero DAC/AMP. I have a problem however. When music is not playing, they give off a light digital hiss noise. The noise is still there when music is playing, but gets drowned out by the music itself. I was wondering why this is happening, and...

Just ordered some HD555's (120OHM version)to go along with my Zero DAC/AMP. I bought them for listening to a variety of music, and movies on my computer. I ordered them from Newegg so I got a pretty good deal. Was wondering if anyone who has them could let me know what they find their...

Having a hard time finding a site that ships audiophile quality headphones from Canada. I have found some sites that ship them from Japan, but with customs and duty, the price gets out of hand. If anyone knows a good site, I would appreciate it if you let me in on the secret lol. Sorry if...

I know I made a thread the other day, asking which headphones to pick from 7 brands. It was very helpful. However, I came into a bit of extra cash I could spend, so I went for a bit more expensive cans. Basically it call comes down to AKG K701, Grado SR-225, and the Denon AH-D2000. I can get...

I am looking for the best price/performance headphones. I am not necessarily looking for the best sounding ones, but the best sound I can get for the money. In terms of music, I will listen to a wide variety, so a set of cans that do well under those conditions will be best. The headphones will...

I am a computer guy, every setup I own, revolves around a computer. Though I have a home entertainment center, it gets little use when I am not with family or friends. I have recently jumped into the world of hifi headphones(and audio for that matter), and as someone who has to wear...

So, basically this will be my first pair of headphones that are of any type of quality. I purchased a 5.1 headset not to long ago, but realized my mistake after reading various sites and hearing the horrible quality. The headphones will be used with an Onkyo TXSR-505 playing music that comes...

Hello. I need some help and clarification with what I am doing. (using onboard sound btw) My goal is to have the audio from my PC, go from my onboard sound to my Onkyo TX-SR505, into my Polk Audio RTI A3's in a stereo setup. I want my receiver to act as the "soundcard" and deal with all...
