I'm new to the audio world. I purchased a pair of turtle beach px21 for gaming a few years ago. Awful investment. They are simply terrible aside from the good microphone on them. I was also tired of my earbuds breaking so I bought a pair of klipsch image s4 earphones. They are great. But now...

Okay guys, I'm getting worried here. I've been saving up for the longest time to get the ultimate gaming audio setup, the Sennheiser PC360 and Astro MixAmp. I'm getting my tax return soon and went back to my Amazon account to check on it, and... it's gone. There is only one left from a vendor...

Just went to Best Buy and bought $400 Beats Pro. Beats really have been ripped hard on here, but I wanted to try them out for myself and compare with my other headphones. I have Sennheiser HD 598 and HD 700 with O2+ODAC.   I think I'm gonna start doing this more often, buying headphones from...

Hi all,   I'm new to the forum and thought id ask the experts.. I'm looking to buy new headphones around the range between 100-200£  (150 - 300 dollars) I was really close to settle for the the Sennheiser 598 until I realized id probably use them other than home (office, library etc) so...

Hey Head-Fi community I was looking to buy my first pair of fully open headphones. I would like for them to have a detachable cable and circum-oral (around ear) cups. as far as sound, I want something that is rather harsh in the mids and highs with a controlled bass (I cannot stand floppy bass)...

In as much detail as possible, please explain what the "sensitivity" measurement means. How is this figure determined, how is it measured, and what does it mean (what are its implications)? How does it relate to impedance (if at all)? Thanks. Mark

I recently bought Fiio E17 as a value Amp/Dac combo but when i used it i realized that it was not in my taste. I dont mean that its a bad Dac but my 598s lost the entire airiness they had which i was loving though....so i am looking to Buy a New One I mostly listen songs from Calvin Harris...

I have a good pair of Sennheiser HD-598 headphones.  I used to listen to it morning , noon and night .. instead of a normal stereo system .  Now I barely use it, mainly at night so as not to disturb the neighbors.      There is no way headphones can match a good stereo system, even one that...

Hey guys! This is my first time posting on here because i seek professional advice :) Im looking for headphones that are over ears under $300. Before i get into specifics, i just wanted to say that i listen to Dance, Electronic house music so not very much guitar or instruments in what i listen...

I already have a set of Sennheiser 598's that I absolutely love. They are wonderful for both gaming and music and any general task I could want to do on my computer. They work fine where I do most of my gaming but, I've been getting back into playstation games as well lately. I've been playing...

Guys looking at open ear cans with nice soundstage and good bass. I have the XB700 so dont need bass too much..Need clean sound and like some say "Feel of being there in a recording studio or concert" :)   Looking at Senn HD518 , Senn 598, Beyer 990pro

Hello,   I own a pair of Sennheiser HD598s and Audio-Technica ATH-M50s. I love 'em both to death but I tend to stick with the ATs for mixing and recording, while the Sennheiser's are almost always for listening pleasure and enjoyment (their sound signature fascinates me). I wanted to get a...

The SE-A1000 were my first nice pair of headphones. I got them for ~$80 and was amazed at the audio quality when I first got them. There are two main issues: first, the build quality is not that high. There was some squeaking when I moved my head. Second, it was extremely fatiguing to listen to...

I'm looking for headphones that really improve if you have a good amp. I recently ordered the Bottlehead Crack and am looking for modestly priced headphones that will really take advantage of this amp. Probably need to be higher impedance. I have the Sennheiser HD598, but it's lower impedance...

Dear All,   I have just bought a 650 HD, for a relatively good price in a store, but they were in exhibition (so burn in should be ready, they have been there for four months). They look good, no visible damages, sound is ok, cable is fine, no visible cracks, so I am happy (by now).   It...

Hey guys, just wanted to voice out my opinion on my new 1964 V8s.    To begin with, I don't own alot of high end audio products and come have had experience with a small range of products compared to alot of people here.    Sennheiser HD280 -> HD598s -> Shure SE425s -> Sennheiser Momentums...

Ultrasone PRO 750 Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition Sennheiser HD 598 Sennheiser Momentum Ultrasone HFI-780       You can add your own in the list

Hi. I am a life long music lover in the market for a pair of headphones.  Upon researching many positive reviews, I purchased a monoprice pair of headphones and really like them, but I have been looking for another, more serious pair of closed over the ear headphones that I can listen to at...

Hi everyone,   My ATH A700s recently broke (although they lasted 6+ years). They've served me well but I'm looking to buy new headphones -- although I don't mind purchasing the same ones again, haha.   So I was looking at the following:   ATH A700 (again) or   AKG K702 Sennheiser HD...

Hey guys as you can see I'm a new member and I'm not too experienced in the audio world. I have a Nexus 5 and I use a program called Viper4Android that makes my phone sound way better than an iPhone. I listen to metal and house music, mostly house. I want to use my headphones for gaming too and...

My sister recently purchased a pair of Bose SoundTrue headphones for my dad for father's day. Well, I've been testing them out, to see how they compare to my newly purchased Sennheiser Momentums and HD598s. The first time I plugged the SoundTrues into my early-2011 MBP 13", I was turned off by...

Something that often comes up when I'm trying to decide on what headphones to order. I want to the v-moda m-100 right now. I often get the question when I ask what headphones I want to order "what genre of music do you like". I honestly hate this question, because I don't limit myself to just...

So, as a lot of you guys may know, sound depends on many factors. When designing a headphone, manufacturers have to consider many variables that affect the sound, far more than simply the type of driver that is used. In fact, the sound of the driver is highly dependent on it's surroundings. A...

Hi there,   I'm beginning to think I may need to take a step up to the higher end of the headphone world.  I would appreciate any help or opinions from experienced head-fiers.  I have loved my journey so far and have amassed quite a number of headphones over the last few years, many you can...
