I hope I'm not breaking any rules with my first post, but...   I got some new, very sexy Audio Technica ATH-A700X headphones as a gift not very long ago. Naturally, the bass sounded like **** out of the box and hurt my ears for the first day or so of use, most of which they spent off my...

Hey Head-fi,   A friend of mine is looking for some headphones, and was considering getting Monster Beats, but I suggested otherwise, saying that she can get much better SQ, for a much lower (or at least, equal price).   To her, the most important quality is Appearance, and the second...

Hello everyone,   So I recently bought some Audio Technica ATH-A700X headphones and while they sounded great in the highs and mids, they were very lacking in bass. I would like to find a pair of cans that are full and rich in the mids and highs but that also provide a punchy and strong...

Is it better to hook it up to my mobo or the Logitech speakers? I would love to listen to music using these cans at its maximum power!!

Getting right to the point.   Used for:   -producing music, especially electronic. -listening to music for pleasure (obviously) -gaming (counter strike, horror games, etc.) -closed-back -analog, not USB -as flat as it can get -soundstage not too important, but sure why not...

Hello All,   I've been searching for audio equipment for a few months and hot damn is it hard to pinpoint what you really want so I've decided to make a thread.   I'm looking for two pairs of headphone, one for studio production uses and and one pair for general listening purposes.  ...

Hello Head-Fi!   I've been a long time lurker, but recently joined the Forum to see if I could get assistance in selecting the best suited pair of Headphones for my Setup.   I will be purchasing a Schiit Magni Amplifier in the upcoming days, and have drilled down to the following...

Hello everyone!   I'm in a real dilemma here. I am a FPS gamer and music enthusiast who is slightly low on budget. I only have enough money to buy one of Audio Technica M50X and Audio Technica ATH-AD700x. Both are great headphones and have their strength and weaknesses.   Please recommend me...

For as long as I've been on head-fi, I've seen Head-Fi'ers totally disregard how any headphone looks.  I on the other hand value a headphone that looks good, since I'd like to be able to sometimes share my interest in audio with others, and because I'd like to like how a can looks.  They can...

Well, as title suggest, I'm looking for the holy (affordable) grail of headphones. Current cans are HD280 pro, yes, you can laugh at me, these are my first "real" headphones, I've had them over 2 years now. Now please don't suggest something like the Senns HD800, because I'm still just a...

i purchased recently ath-a700x from amazon. i have logitech surround sound speakers z506 connected to my pc, and as for software i have realtek hd audio manager.    Question #1) i also heard that one should keep the EQ at flat, as messing with it will take away the intended sound the...

I have owned the Audio Technica ATH-AD700 (open air) cans for a few years now and have been very satisfied. They have a wide stage with great mids and sound crisp and clear overall. Recently I cam across a good deal for the newer A900X closed headphones.   Will the A900X be a substantial...

I work in a moderately loud company. I have a small budget, but I have a NOONTEC Zorro headset and a FiiO E6 amp in my Amazon cart. I am looking for a total of nothing more than $120 total for both (Present,y just under $100).    My question is, are these good together? And is it a good buy...

I didn't get a response in the recommendations thread, so I will try in a thread.   I currently have the original Bose AE, and they are finally completely falling apart (pads and wire coming loose). I have been reading on here for the last few hours and have seen a ton of recommendations...

Having been relatively new to the quality audio scene, I'm wondering what the opinions of folk here would be on this combination. I'm not too familiar or rather don't have enough experience to use the many terms one could use to describe the sound they produce, but I enjoy using this setup to...

Been on here for a few days trying to pick my next set, and have now settled down on one of these 2 (although the DT770's are still in my mind). I have tried to find a comparison between the 2 and just can't seem to. I can get the 700's on Amazon for $130 or the 900's for $200, so I really want...

So I'm looking to get a new pair of full sized headphones, and I'm fairly interested in these two. I know they just came out a few months ago, but I can't seem to find any comparisons at all-- even between the older models. Initially I was looking at the A900 at $250, but then when the update...

I just got a new "Used -- Like New" pair of these off of Amazon for $108 shipped next day (from here). I really have not noticed much information or reviews about them. I had the A700s on order but I canceled and said I may as well get the latest model... also the A700x are lower impedance and I...

Hi there, I recently bought a pair of the a700x's because the ad700s are recommended here and almost everywhere. I got the closed version because sound leaking out is an issue. I like how they sound but the way they fit is uncomfortable. They put way to much clamping force on my temples, ears...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice on which amp/dac combo to buy.   My options are the O2 ODAC Combo with Rear power for a total (after shipping/etc) of $287 ($328 CAD) or the Magni and Modi with cables for $230 ($263 CAD).   I will be using the amp/dac with headphones like the VMODA M-100...

I know there are some other similar topics out there, but I have a few extra questions so I thought I would start a thread.   I'm very much considering getting the Schiit Magni because of it's price/performance, although (at least for now), I will only be using the Audio Technica A700X...

Recently my Sony mdr-xd200 broke (had them since 2005) and am in the market for new headphones; Since they were the only headphones I've owned for indoor use, my knowledge in this area is quite limited and would like to request for assistance in this area. I will be using them only on my pc (no...
