Hi,   I am looking for a good Vshaped headphones for a friend of mine. The following are my requirements.   Should be compatible with all smart phones (Nexus 4) Great highs and lows Decent Mids   I had seen a few reviews for Grado SR60i and IGrado and they sound convincing. But...

I can't seem to find anything at dealextreme and focalprice. Perhaps Koss killed all the fakers? I just want the headband and don't want to keep switching my portapros. I can't justify buying another PortaPro just for the headband. 

Hey, been a member for about a month after finding this site on a google search because I've been looking to get new headphones, currently still using the crappers that came with my phone.   I've looked around and read pretty much all the "required stuff", but one thing is puzzling me. In...

Hey Head-Fi! I'd like some suggestions for a pair of open-backed or semi-open headphones under $50.  I know about the Panasonic HTF600 and the Superlux 668b, but are there any others that you would possibly recommend more?   I have an amp, so it's not a factor whether they should be used...

Hi, Any recommendations for a semi-open equivalent of the Sennheiser HD598? I really like the natural, not-bassy, wide soundstage, forward presentation (mids) and"fun" signature of the HD598. The reason I can't use the HD598 is because I'm going portable with it. Now, I'm fine with semi-open...

Hey guys, I'm curious as to which segment of the market do you think provides the best value. I'm looking at Sennheiser HD 598s, and they're $250. How much better are the Sennheiser HD 600s? Is there a brand that makes better headphones in the $250 range? I'm not committed to the $250 range, I...

Since I enjoy listening to radio when I'm on the go, and am not really fond of carrying around a bunch of equipment with me, what are some good headphones that I can buy for this use specifically.   They obviously have to be easy to drive and be very forgiving while still sounding good.  ...

okay two years back i got the beats tours, then i read a couple of reviews by audio professionals and did some research and found out they really suck... for the price, anyway (plus, i had to get them fixed 6 times.. 6 TIMES!!!!!). so then i got myself an ATH-M50 and a UE500 and was quite...

I have been shopping around for the past 2 weeks for a good set of budget headphones for the office. As such it would have to be closed back; I can't stand in-ear. Leaking is an issue, sound isolation is not; it is a quiet office and hearing people talking to me would be more a boon than a...

IM not a fan of bass. i like the clash of cymballs and the high notes(yeah i know im odd) i have a sansa clip zip and portopros now and they just dont get the highs i like. I dont care at all how they look i just want them to sound great with my clip zip

Really I'm looking for any portable headphone that will still allow me to still hear what's going on around me--particularly voices--without bleeding sound out to everyone else, while listening and low to moderate volume.  Around $30 would be preferable, but I'll go up to $60.  I'd probably just...

So I had the blue, classic variant of Koss Porta-Pros for around 5--6 years before having cord problems that could no longer be fixed. Then just recently my friend and I have gone through a total of 5 Porta-Pros, with ALL of them apparently having problems between the 3.5 mm plug and the cord...

Long time lurker, first time poster here.  I'm relatively new to the world of quality headphones, and right now own a pair of Grado SR60is, which I added a Beyerdynamics headband and reverse quarter modded Sennheiser pads.  I really like them, and recently received a $50 gift card to Musician's...

Hello. I would like to buy Colorway C3. For this moment i have 2 headphones: Koss Porta Pro Sennheiser HD555 I need headphones for hardcore, melodic death metal etc. I don't know that the Porta and HD555 are ok with sound of C3. If they didn't what kind of headphones would you recommend? I...

I already own koss portapro and i am going to have klipsch image s4 so i want to know which sound is more clear and which has more details??

I have koss portapros on order did i make a mistake i listen mostly to rock and metal music.

Christmas is coming soon and a female friend is looking for a pair of headphones. What are your suggestions? She can't stand "suctioney" IEM's or "HUGE" over the ear models. I was looking at something kind of like the HD238 or possibly a true earbud with no suction, just haven't kept up on...

I've been experimenting with my EQ for my Porta Pro for ages, and and come up with something that sounds fairly natural to my ears, but I have nothing to compare with. So can you do me the favour, and have a listen and tell me what you think?                    You...

I am seeking for suggestions for an open-air earbud for iPhone 5.I have an HD380 and HD595 but they are too bulky to use. The white apple earbud is not comfortable enough - always slipping out of my ear...

Hello there This is my first post after looking through the forums and after checking out some information and reading a few posts and articles, I think I am ready to buy some better quality headphones. On the recommendation of Gary from Electric Avenues, I just bought the Koss Porta Pros to...

Looking for a somewhat bass heavy earbud for work. Under 20 bucks What are my options?

I have always used earphones, but want to give headphones a try. I currently have Atrio MG5's with MG7 drivers. They have served me for only 4 months and they just don't cut it. Good deep bass and mids but the highs are too high. I still fringe at every cymbal hit. The overall sound quality...

Hi Headfi. Love this forum, even though I'm brand new here! Anyways, as I said in the title I would love to upgrade from my PortaPros. I think they're a great pair of headphones, but I know there's better out there if I'm willing to shell out the dough. What I really like about my PortaPros...

Hello there I've been lurking the forums and haven't found the answer I need so made an account to make a thread. I'm a student on a budget of under $100/£60-70 max. Low but I'm not even in uni yet. I need headphones that provide the bass for songs such as cherry cherry boom boom -one and...

Hi guys, I recently purchased a pair of AKG K 272HS headphones. They arrived today and compared to my Koss Porta Pros they seemed a bit muffled. I understand they are closed vs. open headphones but I'm slightly disappointed.   I do have to set the volume much higher so I was wondering if the...
