    Parrot Zik vs Wired headphones- appropriate for the genre of music i am into?

    Hey guys,   I'm in the market for bluetooth headphones to pair with my Galaxy Note II. I have searched threads countless but I'm wondering if I spend same $300~ on wired headphones (whatever the brand may be) will I really notice a significant difference? All my Music is streamed online...

    Budget Classical Music Headphone/IEM for 100$

    Hey, looking for some portable earphones to compliment my FA-003. The 003 is just way to bulky to travel with (I have... twice) and I'm looking for something relatively cheap. Are the KSC-75 good for classical? They seem like must haves :P   I was also looking at the RE0, RE-ZERO, Image S4...

    Best headphone for DJ cueing in club environments and electronic music production

    I currently own a pair of Alessandro MS-1i headphones and I love them dearly but they are not suiting my new needs from a headphone currently. I need closed cans that I can cue with in club environments as well as produce music in with as neutral of a sound as possible, as well as a good...

    What headphones do you use for travelling?

    Obviously, you can't use bulky and big headphones on the go. What headphones do you prefer when you travel?

    Full-sized Headphones that have Etymotic sound? alessandro ms1i?

    I've had ATH m50s and loved them, but did not enjoy wearing them.    I've had the Vmoda M80s and they were great, but to my ears there was a bit of distortion in certain blues-ey types of music in the mid bass range.   I tried a pair of Sony 7506s and, to my ears, they sounded better...

    Help, £100 ($150) Headphones

    Hi, I'm looking into a new pair of headphones to primarily listen to indie rock and alternative although I listen to all other genres, but rarely. Isolation isn't a problem and neither is sound leakage, I'm looking for over or on ear and a good build quality. Obviously comfort is important but I...

    Have TakStar Pro80 and Looking for the Next Step Up...Got Bored

    Exhibiting tremendous restraint and not just leaping to a pair of 800's, I have slowly moved up the value / SQ chain with 20 pairs of cans. What would be the next good step up from the Pro80's? Closed or Open is fine. I listen to rock, jazz, current Asian pop, classical, prog, kraut, very...

    Grado SR125i vs Alessandro MS1: Grado SR125i sound noticeably better.

    Hi   I would like to report some subjective observations which I think might be of help to some on these boards.   In summary, I am now convinced my Grado SR125i are a noticeable improvement over my pair of Alessandro MS1 (non i). Of course, based on my ears, my music, my equipment.  ...

    Philips Fidelio X1, wow I'm impressed

    I got this headphone for $250 on amazon. I think it is easily worth 2-3 times the price. I like this headphone as much as the Hifiman HE-500 which is $700. The X1 is as beautiful in person as it is in pictures. It has a solid quality feel to it. I’m powering the X1 with the Schiit Magni. I think...

    Fallen in love with Alessandro MS1i, but are they the cans for me?

    I'm a bit of an audionoob, I do take a serious interest in quality audio, but please judge me as a beginner.   My taste in music is mostly electronic, ranging from dirty house (https://soundcloud.com/kitsune-maison/beataucues-exclusive-mix-for), to Kelpe...

    Looking for desktop amp sub $200 for Grado MS-1

    I decided to purchase the Grado MS-1 after reading so much about it, I just had to try it out.   What I don't understand is, When people say "You don't need an amp to drive these". Well that is correct...You can plug them into anything and they WILL produce sound. But as everyone knows, To...

    Next significant upgrade from Alessandro MS-1

    OK, I have some MS-1s that have been my main cans for some years now.  I still think they sound fantastic.   I am wondering though if I might consider something new just for a change.  How much more do I need to spend to beat these significantly.  I'm not too interested unless I;mm going to...

    A simple mod for a comfy Grado (Pix inside)

    Yesterday I was looking at my MS2i and see if there is a way to make them more comfy. I always have some hotspot on top of my eartips and not the usual touching of the driver but more like something hard is pressing on my ear.   I took a look at the bowl and see what happened when I compress...

    A Question about repairing some Alessandro MS1's

    I bought some used Alessandro MS1's off of here about a year and a half ago.  They have worked very well up until a couple weeks ago when (and excuse my lack of knowledge of terminology) the wire from the splitter to the left speaker has caused me some trouble.  The left speaker has no output...

    Are the Alessandro Ms-1 headphones right for me?

    I like headphones that: Have decent noise cancelling abilities great bass response that doesn't make booming sounds over the music and doesn't distort or vibrate, comfortable, and don't have leakage problems? Think the Alessandro Ms1's are a good choice for me? Thanks.
