Please do not give IEM suggestions as they don't conform to my ears for some reason.   I've been out of the loop for a while now. I haven't visited these forums in ages so I'm unsure what new phones are worthy enough for you audiophiles.    I'm thinking of repurchasing the HD-25 II. I...

Not sure I should mention the brick and mortar I was at today, but while checking out headphones today at a place that rhymes with Cuitar Genter, I was asked if I needed any help. I said I was hoping to compare the Sennheiser 518 and 558. The dude looked at me kinda strange and said they didn't...

Sennheiser hd25ii I'm pretty new. I've got three pairs of headphones, none of which are exercise phones. So I've been running in the above. I'll stop. I didn't think anything about it until just today. It's been winter so I haven't sweat much but today was a little warmer and I started to...

V Moda m80 vs Sennheiser HD25- 1 II ? For rock and rap   amped using FIIO E07K

Ive been a very lucky boy this week...   As a wedding gift my Brother has bought me a set of Sennheiser Amperiors in blue,  And to make things even better my Uncle just ordered a pair of Momentum On-Ears in Ivory for me. And I ordered a pair of Denon Urban Ravers to see what the hype is all...

Closed headphones are so important, they give the user freedom to listen to music whenever, wherever. While open headphones are superior sonically, they are most unpractical when used in public for obvious reasons.       I would like to dedicate this thread for users to nominate their...

Hello Everyone,   This is my first real review on Head-Fi. Recently I was given the Sennheiser Amperior as a birthday gift and an upgrade to my trusty HD25-1 II's, which I've had for a couple of years now and use nearly every day. They are my go-to portable headphone, so I the Amperior really...

Hi there,   I will try to make this short.   When it comes to audio I don't know ****.. Still recently I started developing a thing for my music sounding at least semi-decent. So I am ordering Sennheiser HD 25-1 headphones. The thing is I don't want to plug them into my ****ty USB audio...

Well I am willing to sacrifice a little bit of sound quality for something more comfortable. I can't wear the Senns for longer than 30 minutes without my ears really hurting. It's a shame. They sound very, very good. I only paid 125 euros for them as well (don't ask, but yes in a real shop and...

Hi I just bought a full size ATH-M50 and after 1 week of use, I found it not to be portable in 30 min walking to & from office/day + 1hr/day metro train commute (and people are looking at me because of its size :-) I'm not sure if I will still use it outside even on cold months. Comfort is ok...

I have been looking for some headphones for mobile use. I am looking to pair them with some DAP with reasonable power (probably X3 or X5 when it comes out), so I would like them to be able to benefit from the extra power from the DAP, but not require so much power that the DAP is insufficient. I...

I recently got a unit of Phiaton's new MS430 "Fusion" headphones.   My god, do they sound good.       They're a bit bass light, but they've got the best mids that I've heard in a portable to date.    I find myself using them with everything that I listen to. Extremely versatile and...

Hi,   I found someone who makes hearing aids who can make custom molded IEMs. He is not familiar with in ear IEM audio for pro audio, though he knows alot about audio, and electronics.    I have already in my old shells "2" woofer 33A007, Balance Armatures and "1" High Armature.   I listen...

Hey everyone,    I'm currently in the market for a set of portable headphones for around $200 mark.  In my portable rig currently, I'm using a set of SRH440's with a C421 amp. After using a set of HD600's at home for the past few months, I've found the SRH400 is way too fatiguing compared to...

Alright guys, so my buddy got the beats pro and I'm sick of everyone at school getting them and talking about how amazing they are when I know it's all marketing. I want a pair of headphones under $250 that when they hear them they'll instanntly know that they're better than the beats. I also...

Evening folks,    I need some assistance.   As for Desktop/Home Head-Fi I have things pretty much worked out. I have a few DAC's and head amps on the way to try out with various Sennheiser's until i upgrade my cans.   But as for portable I'm just totally stuck.   The portable...

I currently own Senn HD650's for my Hi-Fi listening and a pair of Beyer DT990Pros 250 ohm (DIY amp) for my PC gaming activities. Due to complaints from my other half about my late night glass of brandy and music sessions, I am looking to get hold of some new closed back headphone or a new wife...

After using my ATH-OR7’s for about 4 years by now, they are starting to fall apart. Cable has broken twice and the leather parts are flaking. I’m therefore looking for new ones. I really liked the sound of the OR7’s. It has bright highs and deep and tight bass. I use Yamaha EPH100’s as IEMS, but...

Good Evening Folks...   I have a decision to make and would like some help.   We're moving in 6 weeks and getting married in 3 weeks, I already owe money still to a good friend on here so my budget once  everyone and everything is payed off is going to be very slim. ( Some time in the new...

I'm looking for a new mp3 player because my Sony Walkman NWZ-E453 broke down after a fall. I definitely need 8GB because I did not get all of my music on 4GB. I am looking for a new one with a price between 70 and 170 euros.(95 to 230 USD) Some players in this price range are Sony NWZ-E384...

Hey fellow Head-fiers,   Saturday I traded my iPhone 4S in for a Samsung Galaxy S4. While running spotify at extreme quality and listening on my HD 25-1 IIs, I was running into crackling, hissing, and some music skips. On top of all of this, the audio seems more compressed and the soundstage...

Howdy. About to start traveling again, and need to get new portable headphones and possibly an amp. I think I've decided on the Sennheiser HD25-1 II 'phones (though I'm interested in other recommendations for on- or over-ears—not buds or IEMS— in that general price range or below), but am...
