First post, but long time lurker. I own a Fiio X1 and a pair of HIFIMAN RE-400s which I love,  but IEMs wear on my ears and I don't like wearing them for more then the length of Bachelor-level grocery shopping, so I'm looking for high quality portable, closed back headphones for longer listening...

By portable I mean an over-ear with good isolation, very comfortable, and a manageable cord.   As far as Sound goes I'm looking for a relatively balanced sound with a slight emphasis on Mids and Bass.   I own the v-moda M-100 and i like it a lot, but am looking for something else...

Hi everyone,   I'm looking for an advice, I need to buy some headphones as a present and I am literally going mad as there is so much on the market and I am not really into this to be able to make a good decision.  Here is what I am looking for: 1. Good bass, the person I am buying the...

The Sennheiser Amperior vs beyerdynamic DT vs Sennheiser adidas Original HD 25      which of these headphones are the best money isn't an option and it would really help me any of these would be better then anything i have had in the past 

Right now I'm using my custom IEM from 1964 triple driver. as my portable headphone. I also own Sennheiser HD 650, Brainwavz HM5, Ultrasone Pro 900 for home use. Now the headphones i want to get will replace or be my backup for my custom IEM. As I might get them upgraded to 6 drivers..But here...

Hello, I'm sure this question has been asked many times before so apologies in advance! I'm looking for on/over ear headphones with a budget of around £250 for my partner. He is keen on beats by dre however having done a little research I get the impression I am paying for brand rather than...

Hey guys,   I'm an avid video gamer as well a listener to EDM, dubstep, house, trance, jazz, classical, and rock music. I wanted to know are there any good headphones for the price range of 100-300 dollars that can help with listening to my choices of music as well as my hobby of video...

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a DAC and/or amp to connect to my MacBook Pro and iPhone to drive the following: - Sennheiser Momentums - Westone 4R - speakers like B&W A7 or similar (connecting this to my computer via dac) Any recommendations? I heard the Dragonfly is a good dac, but would I...

Hi all,   After a rather poor customer service experience with Apple, they have offered me £100 to spend on anything that I would like from their online store (which of course means a limited range of headphones). This should mean that I will be able to essentially get a substantial discount...

So I need to place an order on good closed-back over eared headphones tonight so I can get them by friday (With 1 day shipping). I listen to all types of music so a more versatile pair would be better. I don't want any recession in the mids, or too much bass. Also, imaging is very important to...

Hello Everyone,   To begin with, I don't know much about headphones. But I'm looking for new headphones I previously had beats. Tired of them and want something new and better quality, with noise cancellation and very little or no sound leakage. Quiet the opposite from the beats, haha. I...

I am looking for some new headphones. I need them to be closed and will be using and iPod and cMoyBB to drive them. I listen mostly to Classic rock music. I would really like a good bass in addition to treble. Mids/Vocals are also really important to me. So Vocals and Bass are more important...

Alright, now I've got about six different headphones, and no clear decision between them so I want to set up a comparison between them to declare a winner. If everyone could rank these six headphones on four criteria that are important for my headphones, I would be eternally grateful.   The...

Hi guys my friend and I just found out that the Sennheiser Momentums are on sale on amazon. Here's the link for quick browsing : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AYT62FO/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics . Only the black edition is on sale (we don't know why) but this is much cheaper...

Ok I currently own a pair of Sony MDR1R cans, but auditioned my Asgard 2 in a store (yeah....go figure) wih the Momentum over ear cans and found them to sound quite nice. Would it be an upgrade of sorts to grab a pair of Momentum's to go along side my MDR1Rs or is the difference not worth the...

I just got my Momentum wireless and wow what a great headphone Sennheiser made here. I was a bit worried about weight due to the electronics but surprisingly they are very light and extremely comfortable. Pairing was no issue. They didn't break up on me a single time. What really impressed me...

I recently purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD650's and after much consideration (terrible for iPod listening, need a decent desktop amp) decided that it seems too much for me. I refunded them and I am going to purchase a cheaper, less power-hungry set of cans.   What is the absolute...

Hello all.   I'm looking for a nice pair of over-ear headphones. There are a few things I really want though.   3.5 mm jack (None of that 1/4 inch to 3.5 mm adaptor stuff.) Decent bass (I listen to a lot of industrial music) Closed back (Not too important) A decent cable length (not...

Hello all, i hate to post a new thread like this however in the big ol 1500+ page long thread I was getting pretty limited feedback   I am looking for a headphone to pair with my incoming cowon Z2 player. I also use a recently aquired Sansa clip which is rockboxed and an ipod classic.  ...

Hi there! First post and happy to be joining the community (my poor wallet though, I don't think it will ever forgive me for the decision).  I was wondering if I could get some help on deciding on a good set of closed headphones under $300.  I would love to get some open ones to fully enjoy the...

Alright, so I'll try to be very specific on what I'll use these for to hopefully not waste you guys time. I've never owned a really nice pair of headphones but I love music and would like to get the most out of what I have. At the moment my nicest pair is probably my Turtle Beach gaming headset...

Hey guys so I'm new to headfi and I wanted to get some advice from you who are quite into headphones :)  So I've owned a v-moda crossfade LP for 2 years and they were fine while I was really into house and those kind of music's but recently I've started to listen more and more to pop and more...

Hey everyone! I've been looking around online and I'm debating what type of over ear headphones I should get. I have the Denon AH-NC800's and they are alright, but I'm looking for something new now. For a while I've been really looking at the B&W P5's, they look great, I went to the store to...
