Is the Sony XB600 a lot better than the XB500 or the 300? I just don't know which is overall better in terms of sound and built also comfort.

Interested in some Over-Ear headphones since I cannot always use my speakers at home. I want a pair that can be driven without an amplifier or any other equipment. Price range something like $150-200 maybe.

So Ive had dt770/80, xb700 and the ie8's.. i ditched the 770's a while ago because they just didn't hit the spot with regards detail/clarity.. sounded a bit blunt tbh.. then i switched to xb700 which were good  for a while and then finally one day I tried my ie8's on the computer and despite...

The following table is based on measurements, not manufacturer specs.   Target SPL is 110 dB SPL. The source is assumed to output 2 V. The amp is assumed to be a voltage source (0 ohm output impedance). Voltage, current, power are RMS figures.   What do the columns mean? S@1V is the...

First I want to apologize for another best headphones for $300 thread. But I have some specific questions. I'm looking for a good headphone with nice bass. Iam thinking of getting the Sony MDR-XB1000 seen...

I have a pair of Sony MDR-XB700 units that after 4yrs of heavy rotation are finally starting to crackle so it is time to get something new.   My needs and budget are not high.  I am a geek so I spend 12-14hrs a day at my computer.  I have a SB1240 DAC unit connected (optical in from my...

Hi! So I am looking for some headphones that have really good sound, really good bass... I like a lot of stuff like excision and DJ s3Rl and stuff =).. and I want them to be BIG! I do not know why, but when I see really big headphones I love them... I had the Skullcandy Mix Masters and I LOVED...

Hello everyone My birthday is coming up soon and I think it's time to get a good quality pair of headphones for under $500. I mainly listen to electronic music like Dubstep, Chillstep, Trance, House, Techno, and EDM. Meaning, I want these cans to have brain melting bass and have good kids and...

It's time to upgrade from the pair of M80s I've had since they first came out. Budget is $300, but can be stretched a bit. I'm totally okay with getting used headphones. I generally liked the sound of the M80, but I felt they needed a touch more bass to truly shine. So far, I've been...

Hello All,   I've been searching for audio equipment for a few months and hot damn is it hard to pinpoint what you really want so I've decided to make a thread.   I'm looking for two pairs of headphone, one for studio production uses and and one pair for general listening purposes.  ...

Random Crap:  Hey guys, I'm moving into my Great Grandparent's house in a little over a week and I won't be able to listen to music loud.  Sucks, I know.  I'm currently rocking the Shure SE215's and those are awesome for riding my bike around and doing whatever on the go.  I love the bass...

I own sz2000, xb1000, Beats Pro, ATH-ws99, Klipsch Status, JBL S700, and I just want to say that sz2000 is not the bassiest, nor the best sounding among all of these. Is there any possibility to rewrite the wiki about this topic?

Hi there, a newbie joining up the forums! :) I've got a question regarding in ear's if someone can help out. I love my XB1000's and 700's but now since I have picked inline skating again I am in need of earphones that will go under my helmet. Any recommendations that are focus on BASS, either...

NOTE: Sorry for my english, it is not perfect :)   So, I think I can say that Sony had some problems making these, because they released some models, which are bass-light. I can tell that, because I have one. I bought the MDR-XB700 about 4 years ago, and it supposed to be my first nice...

    Sony just put this rather "mysterious" picture on their official site in China   http://www.sonystyle.com.cn/products/headphone/index.htm   Something alone the line of "1,500 days of anticipation" and then "Sony's BRAND NEW milestone about to be revealed" on the second line.    ...

What are the best bass headphones? This is the hunt for the "Top 10" Bass headphones on the consumer market. The list will be compiled and based on identical set-ups (or similar) and tracks with identical Eq sloping/boosting...

Ive had a pair of XB1000s for 3 years. Havent heard anything that would make me change or want another pair of headphones within those years. But time is finite and there will be a point when these headphones have noticeably aged.   And like all good things, they have come to an end.... im...

This is a thought experiment since I'm poor at the moment. Most headphone drivers I've seen are designed to be as small and thin as possible, this makes sense of course. To maintain high efficiency and light weight, they don't actually require long voice coils and huge magnets. However, I've...

Before your faces become contorted in all kinds of What-ness, allow me to explain what appears to be an odd comparison of cans which share nothing in common.. apart from the fact that they are both cans. I am a shameless lover of bass. Huge bass in copious amounts. Gimmie gimmie. That's why my...

Hello Head-Fi!   After lurking the forum for about a year I finally decided that its time to become a member and also start putting together a full size setup rather than just messing with my portable one. I bought a pair of MDR-XB1000 recently and to my surprise (not really) my laptop...

I own monster turbine pro gold and MDR-XB500.   I like how my turbines sound. I prefer warmer sound that they give. I listen to club/hip hop/pop pretty much everything.   I narrowed my choices too   MDR-1R   Sol Republic 1601-30 Master Tracks Over-Ear Headphones (I like how they fit)...
