So yeah I've not been an all to active member here (you guys are kind of intimadating with your jargon), though I read post and threads every day, at length... Im not new to the world of audio or that of headphones, but I seek your assistance.   I exclusively listen to trance/edm but this...

So it has come down to GradoLabs  SR325i VS Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium VS Sennheiser HD650 (I'm getting HD800 later this year so I wanna avoid these for now) VS Hifiman 400 VS Sony MDR-7520 VS AKG A-701  They are all in my budget which is under 400. Could someone point me to ones you think...

Hi all! I am looking to purchase a pair of mid/high-end headphones purely for late movie watching.   I have a couple questions and was hoping I could get some answers and recommendations.   1. I have a Denon 2310 A/V receiver that receives audio & video via HDMI from an HTPC. Do I need...

I know this should probably go in another section but I am just wondering if anyone in this area is active on this site since I have not met any other audiophiles or head-fi'ers around here. It would be cool to meet someone with other full size headphones to try.

As the title states i'm in the market for some new headphones. I currently own the v-moda crossfade lp's which were given to me as a gift about a year ago. I am looking for some new headphones around $350 it can go as far as $400, but nothing higher than that and lower than $350 would be great...

I'm looking for some in ears. I usually hate in ears, but I travel so much and I'm tired of lugging my athm50 around Something mid centric (I love my grados) for metal....I don't want bass head at all but a slightly elevated bass would be nice. I like my athm50 but the recessed mids are not my...

Not sure if this is the best place to put this or not I guess I will find out.    I would like to audition a couple of headphones if I can.   The auditions will be near prices for replacement. give or takeish I would rather keep it just a fun audition thing.    I dont think i want to...

Hi everyone first let me say that I am a total beginner when it comes to headphones and audio. I have been reading many forum posts about good headphones and have a list of a few I really like. My first question is about sound cards, I will be using supreme iv at the moment for audio,(the...

I've spent a lot of time on head-fi lately and always run into people who *seem* to know what they're talking about. Terms like "highs" -- "lows" -- "mids" -- "mid upper" -- "voices sound forward" -- "the base rolls off" -- "treble rolls off" -- "recessed" -- "frequency dips and spikes"..the...

Hey everybody I know little about headphones so I came here wondering what headphones should I get for r&b? My limit is $400. I want some headphones with great bass and great sound! It's not that important but I would like for other people around me to not hear my music because I tend to have...

I'm sitting close to a wall on one side (about 2-3 feet away) wear my HD 700 which are open headphones and they get pretty loud to my surroundings. I notice a very slight imbalance in volume louder on the side facing the wall. At first, I try adjusting the position of the headphones to no avail...

I'm new to the world of high end headphones, and I thought what better place to ask than here! I started with Audio Technicas Solid bass headphones, and the band snapped so now I'm looking for something new! The price range is about 200-300 bucks. I'm looking for solid, punchy bass but really...

I'm looking for headphones in the $300 - $400 range and the two options that have peaked my interest the most are the HE 400's and the Sennehiser 600's.   I'm really confused on which to get though.... A lot of people seem to really LOVE the HE 400's, but I've also seen a lot of negative...

Hi guys, its been a while since I've posted on here ever since I got my DT 770s a couple years back. But now that my DT 770 cables are messed up I figured it was time to get some new headphones. I was originally going to be buying a ATH m50x for around $160 but I saw the refurbished HE400 for...

Hello Everyone,    My Father recently got a set of Stax SR Lamdba Pro and a SRM-1/ MK-2 connected to a Primaluna tube amp that is the best, most detailed, sound I have ever heard. After going home and listening to my Sennheiser RS 170, it made me reevaluate my life and now the hunt for a new...

Hey, new here and was asking for some advice. For my digital music (laptop and phone) I run (usually) a .flac loseless media file through a Bravo Audio V2 Class A 12AU7 Tube Multi-Hybrid Headphone Amplifier and hook my old trusty pair of Sennheisser HD558s (or Klipsch Image ONEs if space is...

Hi there,   I am fairly new here, however I love my audio.   I currently have a pair of Senn Momentum's which I am tossing up whether to return them or not. I find them a little uncomfortable, but overall I am FAIRLY happy with them. I also have a pair of Vmoda's for when I feel...

I generally listen far more to my IEM's during any given day (music or Audiobooks) than I do to my full-size headphones at my office or at home. I bet I probably listen to IEM's at least 5-6 hours a day and some days maybe even more...sometimes I wear them to bed, listening to music as I fall...

Which setup would sound better? - High end headphone + mid DAC / amp - mid-fi headphone + high end DAC / amp

I currently have the Shure SRH1540 and like the sound signature but was wondering if I am missing something. Everyone that I have heard says that planar magnetic bass is better than other dynamic cans. I was thinking about trying the he-400's but people say they have a V shaped frequency...

I recently purchased the HE-400's off of Amazon, and couldn't wait to test them out! I plugged them into the onboard audio (Realtek... I know) on my motherboard, since I am still waiting on my amplifier and DAC. I loaded up Spotify and started to play some of my bass-rich music, but was...

Ok so im not an audiophile guy typically but i really need a good headset as some of the sounds that i hear coming out of my current sets sound worse to me by the day. i want a good pair of over-ears, preferably with a velvet ear cup like the hd 598's have (i believe). and i definitely would...

So, I recently picked up a pair of HE-400's (open box, read: $50 cheaper) and they were absolutely excellent for the first week or two I owned them. Then, seemingly all of the sudden, the left channel became noticeably quieter than the right. This is no matter what source / amp I'm using.   ...

Where I live, the HD650 costs 495-500$, and people around here says that there are now better headphones in this price range. Can you guys help me out by suggesting superior headphones in this price range?   I own DT990 and HE-400, so a headphone that differs from these would be appreciated. ...
