Hello,   For my office, I need a pair of earbuds that still allow me to hear my colleagues, my phone ringing etc. So IEM's are out of the question. Big headphones are also a no go; they are simply too large for that environment.   So not too long ago I purchased a set of Apple EarBuds...

Hi! I'm looking to purchase a headphone to listen to classical music. Most of my classical music consists of symphonies (Mozart, Rachmaninov, Beethoven, Bruckner) or "wind" music (flute, horn concertos etc.). There is the occasional piano sonata.   I'm looking for:   A closed headphone...

Hi! I am currently a happy Ultrasone HFI-780 user. I really love how allround they are; from home movie watching to on the go music listening. However, I have two issues with them:   They don't isolate well at all. When I use them on the go, all of its bass qualities are lost to outside...

  Hi fellow Head-Fi'ers!   I am currently a happy and satisfied user of the Ultrasone HFI-780. I use these 60% for portable on-the-go use (commute, walks etc.) and 40% for home listening. I listen to a lot of genres, but mostly acoustic folk (Bob Dylan, Sufjan Stevens), pop music (Broken...

Hi!   I am looking for a new full sized headphone and am looking for suggestions.   Necessary: I like "thumping" bass, I for example like the Denon D2000 but it has "flubby" bass. The ATH-ES7 has better bass, but it could be even punchier :) It should be suitable for outside use. So...

Hello, At the moment I'm a satisfied user of the Audio Technica ATH-M50. However, I want to upgrade. Three things I'm looking for:More bass. I like bass on my headphones. The ATH-M50s go deep, but to me have too little impact. My cans should have a good bass impact. Comfort. I love the...

Just a quick note. I've been listening to my latest purchase for a week now. The Audio Technica ATH-FC700: Yes, it's that sexy, but what Audio Technicas aren't ? But whatever. I have always been a very happy Sennheiser PX100 user. However, for my 'home setup', I used a Grado SR60. I...

I just noticed the thread about fake ATH-ESW9's. Recently, I bought an ATH-FC700 from eBay (info on the phones here: AudioCubes.com - Audio-Technica ATH-FC700 Portable Headphones -). I bought it from 'bestgood88', a Hong-Kong eBay-store operating powerseller with 100% positive feedback on...

Hi, I have a Sennheiser HD485. I like it a lot, but at 3 meters the cable is too long for me. However, I can't find a shorter cable that coul fit the headphones anywhere... I am looking for a cable that: 1 - Is made for one sided use 2 - Is 1.5 meters max 3 - Can fit in the small hole of...

Dear fellow head-fi'ers, I only just recently purchased my first headphones ( ); the Sennheiser HD201 seemed like a decent starter. But as you might know, it lacks some bass and (I believe) some mids too. This is its frequency chart thingy: I want to try compensate for this by setting up a...

After using MX500's for a year now, I want to move 'a level up'. Since I'm not rich at all, I have a budget of €40,- ($48.47 ATM). I am in doubt wich earbuds to buy, the Sony MDR-EX51 or the MDR-EX71. What's the big difference between them? Technically they are the same but I heard the EX71's...
