Hello,   I'm looking for some portable (probably in-ear) headphones for around £70 (GBP).   I listen to a range of music, mostly folk, rock, and some rap and electronic music. Treble is probably slightly higher priority than bass but obviously ideally I'd like good bass too!   My main pair...

Ive been looking for a pair of over ears for a while and its hard finding a suitable one. Im looking for a pair of over ears thats not too expensive.   Ive recently tried the Sennheiser HD 360. Its ok but the cord is way too long and the bass is pretty low.  I will be returning the...

I'm looking for a closed over-ear headphone around $200 (1) Sound quality comes first. I prefer not to have a heavy bass. (2) I prefer the headphone is comfortable to wear and I hope it's not too heavy. (3) I have an ATH-M50s and I definitely want my new one to be at least better than it .  ...

I previously owned Bose AE2 and people told me that Bose is notorious of having an overpriced product. I decided to sell them then buy Shure SRH840s for $179.99. I knew that the comfort was going to be a lot better with the Bose. But the sound quality feels the same and I feel that the...

Does anybody know of any shops where I could test them out?

Just purchased shure srh840's from earphone solutions.  Checked shures website and didn't see them listed on the authorized resellers page.  Will my headphones be warrantied?

Hi, any ideas of best match for these headphones, maybe 2 different amps?   thanks   d

I would like to know if you could help me choose the right headphone. As of now I own the 840's, are there any headphones that sound just like them or very similar but better all around? I don't want to go above $300 brand new.   I have also seen members compare the A900X to the 940's, is it...

Hey people, i would love to do a comparison myself but my budget won't allow it yet.   I own the KRK's at the moment and i must say they really do sound nice, especially for metal and punk. I believe them to be really quite neutral and so far proven themselves against my Rockit RP6 G2's so...

I am aware that there are many opinions saying the 840 should not need amplification.   I am considering one because I do have to max out the (puny) amps on my Sansa clip & LG phone for many of the songs I have. Doesn't maxing the amp (almost any amp...) increase the amount of...

I'm doing a search on closed headphones in case someone can bring them from US to me. Budget is 250$, I can push it up to 300$ if there's any significant improvement. I do not have an dedicated sound card, so I guess I would have to buy an USB/DAC, any suggestions other than FiiO E10? (same...

Hey. I'm debating both of these. I've tried the M50. Long story short, my M50's broke (had it for almost a year) and Amazon issuing a full refund. I was going to get the 840's befroe the M50's but I opted for the Audio Technicas. I've been reading many reviews about comparisons but I have a few...

I'm looking for an amp for my SRH840 headphones. Well actually, I don't really know if I need one at all.   Apparently they are 42Ohm impedance and I'll just be playing folk music mainly through my motherboard (GA-Z68X-UD3-B3) which has apparently got "Realtek ALC889 codec High Definition...

Hey i'm really noob at amps so i'm asking here. I want an amp to pair with my SRH840's + Xonar Essence STX (gonna use its DAC), so i was thinking of getting the jdslabs O2 or the FiiO E12 Mont Blanc, or a better recommendation between $120~170. New at this hobby so i really need help for what...

I listen to everything apart from rock so want some good all around headphones... Just wondering if these would be good for a bit of everything, they are right at the top end of my £100 budget. I like thongs a bit bassy but would rather have good Mids and highs over just good lows.. So would...
