So I decided to get myself a new pair of headphones. I have a headset (usb) I always use with my pc and I love it, now I need something portable. Up until now I've always used earphones but I'd like to get into some better headphone equipment.   I've been looking into a lot of headphones and...

After much research, I found a pair of Sennheiser PXC450s and purchased to compare with my Bone QC2 over a wide range of music. The Sennheiser has some nice features (passive mode, push to talk), however I found them overwhellingly dulled and muted in NC mode. Passive mode was much better...

Hello,   I happen to have hyperacusis, specifically on low bass (& only that). I'm hearing low traffic rumbling very loud. Ear plugs are great against higher-pitched noise, but bass, not really. I recently got a pair of ATH ANC9 (for the only reason that they gave specs on how low they...

Okay, so this is a weirder one... Normally I use a dedicated n/c hearing protection headset (rated effective for 12ga buckshot), but lately I've gotten the hankering to actually listen to music while I'm blasting away. Nothing like the having the right music to get one's brain into the right...

So i am willing to spend $300 on a new pair of headphones after recently losing my pair of Bose QC 15 which i had purchased from a close friend for only $40. I prefer noise cancellation and decent bass as my music preference is hiphop/rap. My options so far were either a new pair of Bose...

Hello everyone.  I am looking for a pair of comfortable headphones and was hoping for some well educated suggestions.  After doing well over half day research, I am giving up to ask this question on the forum at the risk of someone telling to "DO A SEARCH!".  There are simply too many gears out...

So for the past two weeks I have been looking around trying to find a good pair of headphones that fit my music tastes. I have looked d at the grado 500 and the PXC 450 by Sennheiser. I listen to bands like Three Days GRACE, DISTURBED, and Linkin Park. I only have $500 dollars to spend at the...

This question is entirely out of curiosity, because I know the 558s are designed for a different niche than the PXC450s or Bose QC15s. But I'd like to hear what people have to say.   I just picked up a pair of 558s because the Amazon price right now is incredible ($117). Now, I don't need...

Maybe someone with some technical background could answer this. I'm somewhat aware of how the technology works, the headphones let the ambient noise in, along with opposing frequencies in order to "cancel" the outside noise (correct me if I'm wrong). What I'm wondering is if letting both of...

I'm still very much a newbie as to what I should get. I'm hoping that someone can pointer me towards the right direction.   Below are the headphones I own.   Sennheiser HD650 <- This is my first pair of good headphones. I use this mostly to listen to music on my iMac. Sennheiser PXC450 <-...

So I've been using Beats for a while and knowing that they suck and I'm looking to upgrade. I'm looking for a similar price range to the Beats so the Sennheiser PX450 and the Sennheiser momentum are the first two that jump out at me. However, I could be persuaded to jump up in price to the...

I've been using PXC450 on and off for a long time, they are wonderful headphones. Recently I got one of the Geek Out 1000 and would really like to pair with a passive headphone system. I'm looking for something that can pack away like the PXC450, is circumaural and under the 500$ price point...

Hey people im looking into a set of headphones for my tablet/iphone for flying,can anyone recommend some that I can look into?   noise cancellation ofc Pretty loud  for movies/music/ games Hopefully look pretty good on flight and out and about/     Would appreciate it guys im stuck...

I´m looking for great noise cancellation (or closed) headphones, any recommendations?   I´ve tried Bose QC15 and the sound was absolutely terrible! Really harsh upper mids, too much scooped mids and lower mids, kinda ok but a bit muffled and overemphasized bass, lack of upper treble (the...

Hello everyone. I have been looking into a good pair of headphones for quite some time now and finally settled on some PXC 450's! I believe I have made a terrible mistake. My reasons for these headphones were that I wanted something for travel and libraries in college. Something that could give...

Hello, I'm a noob.   I currently own Klipsch S4, Sennheiser 680i and Beats Pro. I listen to everything, but mostly R&B and hip-hop/rap.   Like the title says, I'm looking for a pair of new headphones. Specifically, clearer sound than the Klipsch S4 and a rich bass, but not over powering...

I just received my Sennheiser PXC-450's last night. I'm going back and forth between these and the QC15's (sorry, I'm not a huge Bose fan either) and have some strange things happening.. I'm hoping there's another owner or two out there who can confirm this is normal (or not).   When in NC...

Does anyone know if all Noise Cancelling Headphones are unable to reach full volume? Tried the Sennheiser PXC450 and they would not reach high volume levels and seemed muffled. Tried several less expensive cans without this feature that sounded much better. My problem is i need portable over ear...

Hi, It seems all head-fiers (bar one I think) who have tried the PXC450 all had the same complaints. Those complaints were: 1. A severe loss of bass when the NC was engaged 2. A clicking noise in the right channel (I believe this occured with the battery inserted but the NC off)...

Hey guys,   I've been lurking these forums and other sites looking up reviews and information on all kinds of headphones. My birthday is coming up on september 19th, (turning 21!!), and I asked for a pair of headphones but I just can't decide which ones will suit me the best.   Brands...

Hey Guys,       So here it is. My first pair of headphones were the Denon AH-D1001's, but after idiotically wanted "Noise Cancelling" I bought the Senn PXC 450's, and I barely used the feature and the quality isn't anything great compared to the Denon1001's. I feel like a schmuck after...

id like to be able to enjoy music while i refinish/sand floors. (i do about 15 a year with my work)   its a pretty noisy job, would active noise canceling headphones work or do i need to diy/custom build myself a pair of really isolating headphones? 

Hello all, hopefully someone can help me with my predicament. I am looking for specific noise cancellation headphones for my farther, but unfortunately i can't seem to find suitable ones.  He works away and has to travel in a c-17 globemaster which i believe inside is about 86 dB and i'm...
