So I am new to all this audiophile gear, no idea what most of the tech specs mean so I am having trouble finding appropriate gear.   I am looking for a portable DAP with a good built in headphone amp. I have a set of Bowers and Wilkins P3's and may purchase a set of P5's in the near future (or...

Hi everyone,   I'm looking for an advice, I need to buy some headphones as a present and I am literally going mad as there is so much on the market and I am not really into this to be able to make a good decision.  Here is what I am looking for: 1. Good bass, the person I am buying the...

All - I've enjoyed this site tremendously, and it led me to the purchase of my Westone ES5.  I went with a custom IEM because I've been completely deaf in one ear since birth.  I could get a single IEM with a custom-cable that combined both channels, so I saved quite a bit of money.  As much as...

So I've decided to get a new pair of headphones, I currently own the B&W P3, but i am not satisfied at all, mostly due to the the mids being to excessed for my liking. My problem is that I wanted something for commuting, as well as home-use, and i can't find any can that meets all of my...

hey everyone,   i'm looking for a new set of headphones). my current ones are in-ear sennheiser cx500, which I know are not headphones, but given the improvement in the portable headphones field, i thought i could get myself a good pair.    please note: the headphones should be "glasses...

So, I'm driving myself crazy on trying to pick out headphones and the biggest problem is most of them are only online and I can't try them, So I'm counting on you! I listen to a lot of heavy music in the rock genre, but I also don't mind a little dubstep for fun and some older classic hip hop...

Hello all. I have been reading for days on this site and I am really struggling with a new purchase. I have owned a pair on cheap Sennheisers (can’t find them at the moment), a pair of Bose AE2 and a pair of B&W P3. I returned the Bose and bought the B&W P3 and then returned the P3s as I just...

I'm planning to buy a new headphone (on ear) which i mostly going to use when i'm mountain biking, or doing some fitness exercising. Currenlty, i use the AKG K450, but i want something new :)   I know that i should buy some in-ear headphones, but i found these very uncomfortable in my ears...

Hello, guys. Originaly I was going to buy some AKG K550, Sennheiser Momentum or Sony's MDR-1R... Unfortunately this weekend was "El Buen Fin" (the equivalent to US Black Friday in Mexico) and, when I went on Sunday to buy my headphones On Bestbuy the AKGs K550 were Out of stock </3. So I had to...

I am happy user of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros, but currently I am looking for something that is more portable. I like Beyers mainly because of two things -   1. Comfort (I use them for several hours a day in an office environment). 2. Good bass response.   I mostly listen to electronic music...

Hi all,   I thought I would share my first impressions and experience with this headphone. :) I will only concentrate on the sound part, since everyone knows how well built and comfortable they are (or can be... for me they are really comfortable).   First off, let me tell you that if you're...

Hey Folks, its been ages since I have been over here at headfi...  I wanted to post a review of the P3 headphones. Disclaimer: I did not purchase these headphones. They were sent to me as a sample demo for the purpose of this review. I am not being paid for this review or any reviews on the site...

I would like to buy a pair of headphones for travelling. Anyone have experience with these?

As above, which would be a better choice? Thanks!

Hi,  I've been using this site as a guide & has helped me quite a bit!    Currently, I am looking to buy headphones to cover a variety of genres I listen to. I listen to various genres from rock, hip-hop, classical to trance, house etc.    I already own the b&w P3, which I bought due to...

I'm looking for a nice compact headphone for use on the go... Which of these sounds better? And would these be an upgrade to my audio technica m50s? I'll be selling my m50s to buy whichever

Im either going to buy the bowers and wilkins p3 or the ue 6000. They are both the same price although i can buy the p3 in a local store but would have to order the ue 6000 online which could take a whileto arrive. How do they compare to eachother?

I've been following most of the threads here on these new headphones, and I watched Tyll's review where he praises the design and build quality but is disappointed with the sound due to a perceived muffled top end. I've also read other reviews online that haven't really mentioned this sonic...

I figured the thread title summed up what I'm looking for the quickest. I've been around Head-Fi for some time. I've probably bought every budget everything over the years.   I am a huge Queen fan but I also listen to a lot of different things. From David Gray to Dark Tranquility, from ZZ...

I know opinions are like earholes, everyone's got one, but I need some advise. I want a high end portable headphone. I just got the Ultrasone Edition 8 which sound amazing, but kill my ears after a while. The pads are very soft, but not shaped like an ear. I am going to send them back so now I...

Trying to prove a point to my friend. I think the M80's will be better but she seems to like the P3 better. I'll show this to my friend, any help? Also, recommend any headphone if you think she would like it better. She doesn't need a bassy signature so shoot away.

Hi! I'm seeking some guidance from you experts here.  I'm not really too knowledgeable or familiar concerning on/around ear phones - from the sound I should expect from a particular model, to model nomenclature by brand. I guess this is where you guys come in.   I take public transit/am on...

Hey, decided to buy the p3 headphones but do you know if they are worth it? or something i should get in the same price range that is better. I really like the design and asume that Bowers & Wilkins will have a good sound quality (not expecting the very best) but im not really sure.

Hi,   I'm relatively new to this forum and was hoping I could get advice. Basically, I'm looking to get a replacement set of headphones for my iPhone for commuting to and from work. I'm using some Audio Technica ATH CKS55i in-ears at the moment and although they are quite nice, overall I'd...

I'm shopping for a pair of portable headphones on Crutchfield. I have a $50 gift certificate there. The selection is limited and I've narrowed it down to 3:    Bose OE2 AKG K451 Bowers and Wilkins P3   Any suggestions out of these three? I tried the Bose and Bowers at an Apple store...
