I stumbled upon this forum a year or so ago and thus began my initiation into the headphone world. I have mostly purchased headphones in the "budget" king killer type posts that were on the cheaper side. I own the Samson 850's, the monoprice cheapies, Panasonic htf600's, Brainwavz HM3. My...

Long story short, I need a headphone from ultrasone. I don't want recommendations on other headphones.    At the moment I am enjoying my HE-500, and I consider the sound close to perfection/with no major flaws. I listen to a lot of genres. I like metal, rock, jazz, acoustic, and any genre...

Ok, so I am looking for a decent pair of headphones. I have split my questions/posts up into the appropriate forums as I am also looking for an amp/dac to go with them. Thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/650271/looking-for-my-first-decent-dac-amp-for-full-time-desktop-use   Here is the quick...

Hey everyone, I'm in the market for a new set of full size phones.   I've read all about and sort of fallen in love with the Shure SRH940 but think the romance is doomed failure if the plastic cracks up - that would completely piss me off after spending the dollars on them!   So, it...

¿Could it be possible to pair a fiio e17 between an iPod and the Satx portable amp+inear 002?  (sorry if I ignore something, this is my first Head-Fi question)   Yturralde

New guy post...Finally :)   Been a long time lurker on here, but finally decided to make an account and rant/inquire about higher end IEM's.   So, I always used a Bose QC15 when out and about because of the noise cancellation and decent sound quality, although as most of you know it's not...

Doesn't it kind of defeat the point if you have to carry an amp around? I love my UE6000 but at 50ohms this is just to much even for the best smart phones on the market.. I have tried an I6 and own a HTC M8 ( the two best sounding smarthphones/tablets on the market ) and its no where near enough...

    I'll begin by stating I have no affiliation with DUNU-Topsound, and I'll apologize for any confusion to anybody who may have read this, when I originally mis-posted my impressions as a footnote on the Sponsor's Launch Thread for the ALPHA 1 which is here.   That said, I will now begin...

Hey peeps,   I'm looking for a quality pair of headphones for $250. It can be open or closed, and I want a very balanced sound. I can buy an amp/dac combo, such as the FiiO E17, but prefer not to. I will mainly be using them for rock and the occasional hip hop and dubstep. What are the best...

Hi Everyone,   My uncle loved my V-Moda M80s, so I ended up giving him the cans as a gift. My setup was V-Moda M80 + FiiO E17 (I bought both of these based on all the great feedback on these forums). Now I need new cans, I've been trying to decide what I want and how I want to improve on...

Hey all,   As of right now I am using HD555s with the foam mod and just my motherboard's integrated sound. I bought the Titanium HD the other day (when it was $110 on amazon) and have been playing around with it today. Performed several blind tests with various quality songs (from 120kbps to...

I'm looking into getting either the Qinpu A3 or the 6000. I will be using the amp for gaming and all types of music and watching anime/TV/movies pretty much all day long. What headphones under $200 should I get to start off with?

Hello,   I'm on the quest for headphones on a budget of $300.   Sound: Looking for a lush, full sound that is especially strong with mids for reproducing female vocals while not being especially lacking in other areas. Punchy mid-bass and rumbling sub-bass are a plus. I also don't want...

Yeah thats a mouth full.. Cant make my mind up... I own a fiio e-17 and want something that wont distort at high volumes and crazy hip hop beat frequencies... wont always use it with the amp though..   Whats the best contenders?    I was looking at UE 6000 heard they are heavy cause of the...

i got my urbanites this morning and took them out with me and played some music and was delighted, decent bass, i even heard some details in tracks i've never heard before, even on my dali zensor 3's which i use for my home cinema. they was a treat, but as soon as i got back home and listened on...

Hello I have been searching this forum for a long time... and still cant seem to choose what headphone to buy as there are so many..   My experience is beats by dre(all versions from store) And my current headphone siberia v2 gaming. I woud like some high end headphones that have good...

I am looking for something more balanced in terms of frequency range. Before S4is i used some Koss branded ones that i liked for about 50$ and their bass clarity (for 50$) sounded pretty good. I was looking at D2ks and maybe D5ks but I'm going by the general advice to invest in a "full" setup...

I have read many reviews of these two pairs of headphones but thought I'd get some feedback from people who have actually listened to them.  Are either of them difficult to drive? Would my FiiO E17 suffice to drive these cans? Eventually I'll be getting another amp but this is what I have at the...

I have wanted these headphones for a couple years now and thanks to a gift card from Best Buy, I was finally able to buy them.    The thing is, I am starting to regret the purchase. I read that they were great with portables but that was a couple years ago. Any newer threads from 2012 and on...

What's the next best thing besides the Fiio E17/E09K combo? The E17 would be perfect but it lacks enough volume so I got the E09K to combo with it, but I don't like the round volume slider. You don't know precisely what the volume is at. E17 was perfect for this with their numbers.   What...

Sorry for the repost, but I didn't get too many responses in the recommendations thread...   I've been a silent reader on these forums and am looking for some help as I'm far too confused at this point! I'm looking for a set of headphones within the $300-400 range.  I have a marantz...

i want a new headphone that i will keep for a long time, i like bass (my previous headphone was a sennheiser momentum over ear, got bored of it) i heard good things about the v moda, and since it's a basshead headphone it will make me happy! but after being shown the mrspeakers mad dog+alpha dog...

has anyone out there had any experience with accuphase as a dedicated headphone amp? the new C-2810 preamp looks very interesting.

I currently own a pair of AKG K702 Anniversary headphones, and am looking for something new. The k702s are comfy for about an hour and then start to place pressure on top of my head. Whatever I get, I want big OVER-EAR pads, and to be super comfortable.  I like the sound of the 702s, but would...

Hey guys,   I currently own a pair of ATH-M50's, which I find a BIG STEP UP from my Studio Beats, but I was wondering if there was anything better? I know a lot of people say ATH-M50's are good but they also lack. I mainly listen to pop, hip hop, R&B, and a whole bunch of other genres. I would...
