I want to get my girlfriend a nice pair of headphones for Christmas. However, unlike me, she's not an audiophile. She does encourage me, though. Which is awesome, haha!   So what I'm looking for is a full-sized, closed-backed headphone that sounds good directly out of a laptop or iPhone...

Hi everyone, noobie here. I've recently got into the audiophile world and my previous gears are ath-es7 and m50s.   I have listened to the m50s for awhile and sold them as i do not like the m50 sound signature. Find it to have a bit of recessed mids and i like my es7 more.   So...

Hi guys! Quick question, are the ES7 and ESW9 ear pads interchangeable? I think that they are, but I just wanted to be sure. Can anyone who owns BOTH confirm this please? Thanks a lot.

Yeah I want to buy some cool looking headphones. I'm looking for something with a 40mm driver. I can't figure out how big the drivers are on the Beats Solo if someone could help me with it.   Basically I'm going to tear into these puppys and remove the crap driver in them to just have a bad...

Hello,   I have some questions about the ATH-ES7. How good are these phones? Are they any "fun"? I know they aren't meant to be a desktop type of headphone but I have read some comparisons against the ATH-M50(which I currently own) and they seem to be fitting the portable choice. Anyway...

Hey, my friends wants a headphone for electro music. I suggested the ATH-ES7 but he didn't like the looks of it. Any other cheap headphones around $100? (with good looks of course)

Someone knows the truth?   Have W55 but although they sound nice, I am sometimes bored by not strong mids and strong bass.   Would ES7 fix that?    Are they more natural and strong in mids and highs as in the bass but natural sounding?   Regards

Hi guys, I'm now exploring the sound frequency and I think it's pretty important to understand the frequency range of the headphones/earphones. I have started with my own headsets like creative EP-630, Audio Technica ATH-ES7. However, I couldn't find the specs for new Apple earpods (iphone 5)...

Hello head-fi,   My first headphone is an AKG Q460, which to be honest is pretty good choice for a first headphone.  Now I would like to buy a better one and my requirements are the following: I'd use it mostly at home and during travelling so it shouldn't be super portable. Music: techno...

This might sound very shallow, but I really like bass, so I started wondering: what are the bassiest headphones there is? Also, which ones are bassiest ones that desn't require a headphone amp (to be run off the D2 in any case). Oh, and headphones, not IEms or plugs ^^

Hey there Head-Fi, I finally got brave enough to post for once instead of lurking as usual. I've been doing quite a lot of reading here trying to scope out several different headphones for various uses. However, I'm not gonna lie: Looks are important to me. Seeing headphones by themselves is a...

Shure - Mobile-Blue Store This site is in Hong Kong, but I figure I would rather pay 70 bucks for E4c and whatever airmail they offer, than 200 bucks. The prices they have on these IEMs are ridiculous.

just saw the news at Akihabara news.com site. they will be released at the end of August: Audio Technica's ATH-EP700 This morning Audio Technica Japan announced the end of August nationwide availability of their latest over-the-head headphone with a 40mm diameter driver unit, an impedance...

Hello guys, I am looking to buy a new pair of over the ear headphones to listen to my lovely metal music at work. I was torn between the Bose AE2 (mostly due to HOW DAMN comfortable they are, especially the cushions) and the ATH-M50x Whites. I have read that the M50x come with different ear...

I got new Ultrasone zino that is apparently a successor to iCans. 　　　 Comparing zino to iCans, zino looks better than the toy-ish look of the iCans. (lower: iCans) Zino sounded better than burned-in iCans without any burn-in. zino is more clear, more crisp and richer. The bass is...

    http://wearefrends.com/women/   are these headphones only good for looking at or are they also pleasant to your ears? cos' my gf thinks they look really cool and keeps asking me to get her a set. recently i can hardly make the ends meet so looking for some second opinions here...

Hi, living the UK AT seem to think we either don't like headphones  or are super rich! ES10s are £500 ($750) ESW9 and ESW11 are not available in the UK.   The 9s and 10s seem quite old now is this fast paced market, and I know the ES55 and ES7 have been replaced by newer models.   So are...

   Hello im kinda new in the headphone world and i need some profesional advice on what headphone to buy my budget is 250 $(or 200 euros im from europe) and i dont know what headphones to buy i want portable headphones but with same audio quality as the full sized ones,i want the headphone to be...

Hi guys!    I've had this wonderful pair of headphones for almost three years now and have repaired the wires now two times. No problems with that. However, now when the wire lost connection for the third time the plate that attaches to the driver came off when I was fixing it. This was...

The other day, the I finally got round to recabling my ATH-ES7's.  The reason for this, the cable was getting too short, after being breaking a about 20cm away from the plug.  There was nothing fancy used in this, as it is a temporary measure (although will be keeping the headphones still, I am...

Hello everyone, I got a pair of these ATH-ES7s and they sound good but I was wondering if they were real or fake. **They do have modded ear pads and they have an Apple cord.** Here are some pics: ^Original ear pads and carrying pouch^   So, are they real or fake? Thanks if you can...

Hi   I recently broke the cord of my out-of-warranty ATH-ES7s, and right now I've inquired about repairing them from the authorized repair center here in Montreal but it looks like I'll have to buy new headphones. Boy, did I love these headphones.   Anyways, there were Bose AE2i for $113...

  Could anyone with knowledge of fake Audio-Technica ATH-ES7's take a look at these images and tell me if I have a fake here? Some parts of them match the authentic images in the ATH-ES7 thread but some parts seem...fake as well.   The cable rests going into the headphones are both...

The cap that secures the wire to the can is cracked and the wire is loose, it can be pushed into the can a fair amount. If I manipulate the wire with my fingers squeezing and pushing it up a bit into the can I can get audio. I'm wondering if this is an issue that can be fixed and if so does it...

Recently i broke my ES7's stupidly but felt it would be a good time to upgrade think the tma-1 is a good choice but any other recommendations or comment let us know.
