hey head-fi, it's been a minute and my mind won't leave me alone about getting a new pair of cans. i have the denon 1001ks and love them dearly, but as i've stumbled upon the 1100s i have been very curious. i listen to R&B and hip hop mostly, so the extra bass may not bother me and may...

Looking for a good choice for a sealed headphone. I have been listening to a pair of Grado SR60 headphones. I would like some sealed 'phones as I find myself in public/traveling frequently and the leakage is an issue. I primarily listen to classical music - vocal. I listen through an iPod...

hi guys, I am new so feel free to ignore my stupidity.   I am a recent convert to full sized headphones. I stupidly punctured my eardrum, and I have no idea how before you ask - the doctor figures as I have had continuing hearing loss in it since I was a child that its simply thin and what...

Hi all,   Just received a pair of Denon AH-D1001 from a classified ad elsewhere, and just wondering if they are fakes? The packaging is cheaper than I would expect from a premium brand (and not very well put together), and I spotted a spelling mistake on the box - I don't expect spelling...

Hello everyone. Yep, i'm an idiot for liking Bose. Yep they sound rubbish. Yep, they're worth a third of their price. Yep, you wouldn't crap on them let alone wear them. Right, now that's out of the way, I'm trying to pinpoint people who have owned or do own the above headphones. Xmas money...

I think one of my speakers is broken. I've tried recabling as to http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/353941/recabling-denon-ah-d1001-d1000 also I attempted the recabling because it was broken, it did not break after recabling.     I'm pretty sure that the speaker is broken as I've...

Hey. I've done a great deal of research over the past week regarding closed sub $150 headphones.  I've read tons and tons of good threads, and I've basically decided on the HD25-1 ii's.  I saw that the Denon D1001's are a good option as well, but apparently isolating is not their strong suit. ...

So I currently own a pair of Denon AH D1001's (have had it for about a year) and am thinking of upgrading to a D2000. I'm just wondering if its worth the upgrade? I will be using these headphones with my iphone on the go.  Also, if i get a portable amp (Fiio e7) will that make a big difference...

I'm looking for a set of cans for my girlfriend. She recently had to retire hers and she's looking for some replacements. She had Bose Triports which she loved for the fit/weight, not terribly impressed with the sound. On the other hand, she loves the sound of my Denon 1001s, just not the fit...

Ok, so I'm getting my first pair of decent headphones very soon. They're either going to be the AIAIAI TMA-1's or the Denon AH-D1001's.   My music source for the most part will be my laptop. I'm assuming I can still get good sound out of the headphones just straight through the laptop, or am...

Which headphones under $150 has the best sound quality. I've decided that it doesn't need to be closed cans anymore. I only care about SQ. Willing to make small boosts to the price if a little more will get me something much better. Thanks

I have some entry level full-size cans. HARX700, ATH-AD900 and I was wanting some good basshead headphones. I been reading and people have been recommending either the D2000 Denon's or BeyerDynamic DT-770. Question is there any other basshead headphones. Also, there are a lot of different...

I've read a lot around here and everywhere else I can.  For what i'm willing to spend(under ~$150 with a LITTLE wiggle room), is there anything else that I might consider?  I had a pair of SRH-440's but after listening for a while it would kill my ear, pressure on the top of the lobe.  I listen...

Hey, all! Yeah I'm new here, and I love high quality sound. "Sound" like I'm in the right place? My pride and joy set up right now is my Denon AHD1001 headphones used with my Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 6 MP3 player. However, as I'm sure many of you feel, this set up is inadequate for a "true"...

Hello, new to this forum, same old problem & appreciate any advice! Sorry if this is a bit long... or the wrong place to post it!   First, background: I listen to rock/pop/electronica on an iPod Classic. I usually use Senn CX300s which I find - if I lick them first (!) - make a great ear...

Greetings all Head-Fiers,   2 years ago, I was one who listened to white iBuds because everyone else did and I knew no better. For my birthday, I received a pair of $30 JVC headphones which were an improvement over the apple ones; this piqued my interest for headphones. When those broke in a...

Hey guys! I'm currently trying to decide which pair of headphones I should get. I've currently got the Sennheiser HD280s, but they're not really well-suited for what I listen to and want to hear. I listen to a lot of electronic music, classic rock, and a bit of metal here and there, and the main...

Portables, clip-ons, canalphones or earbuds, I don't really mind, as long as they're comfortable enough to wear for hours without being irritating. I apologize for registering just to ask a question, but it'd be really appreciated.

When I performed the Markl type mods on my Denon AH-D1001/D1000 (documented in this thread http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/mar...-d1000-350167/ ), I saw how easy it would be to recable these cans, and less than a week later, I was inside them again. This thread provides some info on the...

Im looking at this phone for mainly Techno, Classical and Reggae. I mainly listen to Techno (Daft Punk, Deadmau5, etc). I dont want punching bass but i want very good details. I also listen to Classical and Dub Reggae (similar to Sublime). So i am looking to be able to hear every single...

Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Bay Bloor Radio in Toronto. Bay Bloor Radio is a store focusing on Hi-Fi systems, and Home Theatre components. They sell Speaker Systems, Home Theatre Systems, (3D)HDTVs, and other components.   The link to their site is...

Hi,   I am looking for headphones mostly for outside use, travel mostly.   I  have an ipod classic 5g. I mostly listen to Bonobo, The Crystal Method, Rage Against The Machine, Prodigy and some hard rock. So I would really like the headphones to have nice deep bass.   I want to avoid...

First off, thanks for all your help so far. And, conversely, curse you for getting me addicted on headphones. Heh. Anyway, I need an upgrade from the Sennheiser HD201s, which I still enjoy (*brace self for abuse*) for classical. They're kind of broken, which gives me a good excuse. I'm...

I currently own three sets of headphones, now I'm looking for a third.  The ones I have I would say are low end(well, low end for a site like this).  They're all three Sennheisers, PX100's I got for my Ipod Touch, in ears that are actually my wife's, and HD485's.  I don't mind the size of the...

I am looking for headphones for use in an office environment.  I have never owned a decent pair, so have no brand loyalty.  My main concerns are comfort for extended wear (4+ hrs/day).  Varying musical taste from heavy metal, house, to hip hop.  Also, I need something that is not going to...
