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...

Hey Head-fi! Longtime lurker here, and I've decided to post and ask for some help here, in my desire to look into a new set of headphones; here's the skinny.     I'm looking for some recommendation for a new set of over or on-ear headphones for music listening only. I mostly listen to...

Hey guys! I'm kinda new here and I'm looking to step into the world of high-end audio to try and see what you guys have all been gloating about!    Since $30 pair of Sennheiser IEM's broke, I guess it's a good excuse to start looking for a nice set of headphones, I'll be looking play some...

    Details first, explanation later. Let's go! Bass  HD598: I found the bass quantity increases with stronger amplifiers, regular amplification makes the HD598 sound flat HD598 with regular amping (i.e. JDS Labs ODAC/O2) still have more mid-bass than the Q701's, but not by much. Slower...

I am a previous owner of the HD 280 and actually loved the set, but had to return them for money issues. My main issue with the 280 was that they had a bit too much sub bass and not enough detail/texture in the upper mids and treble (the 280s have a pretty substantial fall off at around 4K)...

Just got a pair of these on Amazon for $150 ((http://www.amazon.com/beyerdynamic-DT-860-Premium-Headphones/dp/B000Y0IPF8) as a substitute for my T90 that I can leave at work while the T90s stay home, and I have to say, I'm damn impressed. Soundstage is proportional but not enormous, but it's a...

Im looking for headphones that I can use for both music/gaming, mainly gaming. Ive been looking at the sennheiser 363d and the beyerdynamic mmx 300 Im leaning towards the mmx 300 based on reviews and research. My question is I dont care for the mic (headset) im looking for headphones that are...

Hi new user here I currently own some Sennheiser  HD 598 that I use for at home listening but I wanted to get some closed back headphones for portable use so I recently got the ATH-M50s, and I enjoy it but I was wondering if I spent a little more if there would be something much better I could...

I have two headphones, some Magnum V4's from Martin Custom Audio (Amboyna burl cups) and a pair of Sennheiser HD598's. Love them both, although I think the high end is better on the Magnums, but I listen to the 598's more because they are super comfy and fun.   The 598's are my first...

What is good Headphone/headset for gaming ? PC 360  astro i think is just marketing or it rly have good sound ? Or are still good old AD-700 and mic mod but still for gaming are best closed right  i currently have HD 598 Edit: beyerdynamic still good ? which one that 300 ohm or 60ohm ...

Just picked mine up after months of putting it off. Seems like a decent deal. Only lasts for today I believe so get it quick.

I am a musician, absolutely love all different types of genres. I've owned the Sennheiser 558's before and absolutely loved them, especially the punchy base. I was looking to make a slight upgrade to the 598's, but I've heard the punchy bass is not as good... Though, the mid's and high's are...

I'm a man and i need help. i have been looking for a new pair of headphones and the most i will spend is $300 USD. i want to know which is better for home use open or closed headphones? btw my house is silent 95% of the time so.... yeah. i have these sony mdr-xb500 and they make my ears sweat...

I'm in the process of changing job and am going to spend a lot of time in an office on my own over the next few months and I was looking for suggestions for some new kit.   My source will be a macbook pro (mainly ALAC files) and I can spend ~$500, to include a DAC/amp and some headphones...

in relation to the thread " WORST headphone you ever heard?", http://www.head-fi.org/t/571839/worst-headphone-you-ever-heard/705, i, as a design freak, wonder what u guys think about which headphones appeal to you the most?

Hi, head fi!   I'm fairly new to the world of headphones (and this forum!), but I'm looking for a pair of open-back headphones mainly intended for home use. Recently I bought a pair of HD 25's, and while I'm satisfied (and frankly amazed) by these headphones, the problem with these is that...

I must keep the cost below $200 preferably $150.  Very open to used or older models.  On-ear second choice but acceptable.  Eventually probably get an Audioengine D1 USB/Optical DAC/Amp in a few months.  Listen to other types of music too, but favorite is classical especially anything with...

I've had my LCD-2 for a few weeks now and recently set it up with Woo Audios WA7 Firefly (amazing product) The headphones sound great but I have a couple complaints. I've compared the sound to my Dennon AH-D2000, Sennheiser HD700, and Sennheiser 598,   First and foremost, my left and right...

I've sampled a couple higher end headphones (See my profile for details). And while I'm satisfied with my AKG K240 headphones, I am interested in what other options are for higher sound quality. I don't think I would choose to upgrade immediately, probably sometime in the future, but I don't...

Hello,   first off all, I did a lot of research but because of a lack of knowledge I'm not sure what headphone/headset would give me the best gaming experience for my budget. My budget is 400 euro for the headphone/microphone/soundcard. If an amplifier is needed or gives me fair performance...

I currently own the Shure SRH 840, and I was quite satisfied with their sound until I gave the HD 598 a listen in a local audio store. Now I am a bit torn between both headphones, as I find both have great detail for their price range, and I like both sound signatures. I do admit I am leaning a...

Hey all. I'm looking into my next set-up, dream or otherwise. Over the past year I put a lot of my money into exploring portable iems. I think I found my preferred sound in the process. Of all the gear I have been able to experience thus far, my ATH-CK100PRO iems are my absolute favorite. I find...

Hello all,   I want a headphone through which can listen to my Kawai ES7 keyboard which has a beautiful sound. I want something which reproduces its sound accurately and can detect the very softest of my touches through to big bashing base sections. Secondarily I also want to use the...

Just wondering which pair offers better soundtage.

any suggestions for good value sub-$300 cans that sound good unamped?   my priorities are:   1) sound - think i lean towards details/"fun" sound, don't like overly-analytical 2) comfort/not too heavy 3) sound stage   from what i can tell, the senn 598s fit these, but i'm not...
