These are the UK/Germany versions of the popular phones found on the board under fischer/brainwavz/yoga/jaycar. I wrote parts of this as an amazon review so it will have some introductory stuff that will sound pedantic here  Ask away with any questions. I moved to the UK, hence the UK brand...

I have this brother I am trying to not convince to get Beats or Bose. Many of you understand this struggle, if not with family than with friends. I have an obligation to show my little bro there is a better place for him and his music nirvana. Unfortunately, his needs and mine are different,and...

I could not find a thread that clarified what separates the different product lines from Ultrasone.  Mainly the HFi vs Pro.  Anyone know? 

So, I have recently purchased a pair of Beyerdynamic dt770 pro 250 ohms. I love them, but would really appreciate a pair of headphones that don't mask the midrange frequencies behind bass and treble. I will be using them to listen to my country music collection :D. Yes, I have different tastes...

Should be getting some extra money soon and looking to replace my hd428s with something with a fabric or whatever cushion and more bass preferrably. Looking on Amazon i've found a few sennheisers i'm interested in and depending on what i get, I am also looking at some portable amps. Here's my...

I've somewhat picked out a pair that I liked, but i'm worried i'll need an amplifier. I went to the crutchfield store the other day and fell in love with a pair of Sennheiser HD598s. Although when I was at the store I tested them using an amplifier they had at the store that all the headphones...

Inpired by the "Do Grados Look Ugly? Or Do They Look Cool?" thread:   Does the design of headphones influence your buying decisions?       I am affected by the design. If they look ugly to me I have a hard time liking them. I do appreciate the sound for itself, but most probably...

I’ve been the owner of a pair of Shure SRH440’s that I’ve replaces the ear surrounds with the SRH840’s. even after a long break in period as well as the upgraded foam I find these not only uncomfortable after 45min of listening but also fatiguing to listen to after just as long. I’ve tried...

I think the title says it all. What are the best headphones, open or closed, that need no amping, modding, or burning-in to sound great? If I just want to plug something into my ipod and be on my merry way, what should I buy?   Suffice to say, many will likely improve with amping, but let's...

I'm new :)   Currently looking for $300 - $400 (no stretching price) open back fun. I listen to EVERYTHING. I want as wide a range music and movie headphone as I can get.   ATM I Have: Sennheiser 598 Topping TP41 amp   http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=310-324...

I bought the Sennheiser HD598 from Amazon when they had it on sale for $99.(no tax, free 2-day Prime shipping)   After listening to it without a headphone amp, I also tried it with a FiiO E07K USB DAC amp.     I'm still not sure if it's worth $99.  Amazon's holiday return period doesn't end...

I've been using an fairly decent headset with my laptop for gaming/movies/music which I've had for about 5 years now. I've realized how much I do actually use them and I figure it would be worth the money to pick up a nice pair of over the ear headphones (I can attach a mic to the headphone wire...

Hi, I need to buy a new Sennheiser headphones, and I am not sure about what is the best overall for all-around (shooter games, movies and games). Which sould I get? HD 558 or HD 598 Deserve the HD 598 the price over HD 558?

Rules Just like any other HEAL/HURT game, except with headphone models. Let's see what's Head-Fi's fav. Add one point to the model you like saying HEAL, and remove one from the one you don't like saying HURT. All models start with 10 life. Just copy the last post and add your votes in it; would...

Hi. I own a AudioTechnica ATH AD700 and I'm not happy with the headset. I'm not an audiophile and I don't even listen to music that often. I only use them for gaming. Although I'm not musically gifted, I can tell how amazing the headsets sound. The thing I'm not happy with is how uncomfortable...

I'm not an audiophile but I'm very sensitive to comfort level of something. If it even slightly bothers me, I notice it immediately. So here's my opinion on the top most comfortable and popular headphones. Personally I've tried on Audio-Technica AD700, Sennheiser HD598, Beyerdynamics DT990...

So I'm looking to move into the big boys league.   Closed headphones with great oomph and soundstage to them.   Current collection: Sennheiser HD598 Audio Technica ATH-AD700 Audio Technica M50s LE   Previously Owned: Denon AH-D2000 Sennheiser HD555 Audio Technica M50s...

I'm not talking about cheap headphones.   I'm talking about some expensive headphones like shure srh940,sennheiser hd 59* series etc,that some people had problems with build quality (cracks).   I would like to see what other headphones are known to have similar or other build quality...

I decided to get a pair of decent headphones for office work.  I use HD598's at home and enjoy them, although I do get some clamping pain unlike most people.   Here's what I need:   1.  Closed 2.  A respectable amount of sound leakage (co-workers are about 15 feet from me through a...

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'm currently using my HD598 but plan on buying some new can's pretty soon.   I got a Little Dot MKIII that'll be here this weekend, and later this month I'll buy the new cans.   These days I listen to more electronic/jazzy stuff. Metal is still mixed in there but nearly as much as it used...

Summary : I want a super comfortable headphone that doesn't have very reccessed mids, doesnt skimp out on the highs and has a good amount of bass for music and movies, under $250     Let me start off by saying comfort comes first. I want a headphone that is better for listening to movies...
