Good day!   I've got right now Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 i totally love it, they are so light that i even sometimes forget about them.   I want to make a little upgrade of them for more quality headphones but not more then 200$   Needs are the same: gamin' Call of Duty MW3 on Creative...

ive been reading threads over different headphones but if im going to spend hundreds of dollars on headphones i figure i might as well try to get as much info as posible. I listen to a range of music so i guess an all around pair would be best- punk,indie,pink floyd,radiohead, phish kind of...

Good day, Head-Fi. I'm a newcomer to the world of high-quality audio. My first question and post here on Head-Fi's forums concerns a computer I recently constructed for someone else that I plan to turn into an HTPC some time in the next few months. It is limited to PCIe x1 sound cards and will...

Just wanted to see what the main differences are between the closed back HP100 and open backed HP200. Things like soundstage, bass quantity and quality, etc. There isn't a lot of info about these headphones so I wanted to start this thread for people like me that are cross shopping the two of them. 

Hello!     I wrote a post about the same topic but anybody answered yet . I bought a pair of M80s about a year ago, I am very happy with these but since I am starting to learn about audio I would like to experience better sound if possible. Any ideas for an upgrade for the M80s? I listen...

Hi everyone, looking for a pair of closed headphone (preferably with a removable cable) for around $200 CAD. Comfort is huge as it was an issue with my last pair of headphones (M50x). I'm also looking for clarity, powerful vocals, controlled bass, and a wide sound stage (I'm a beginner so please...

Hi I want to buy a new headphone to use it almost for everything (Music, Movies, Web Series...) And i found the SoundMagic hp100 (199$) and i think that i'll get it. What do think is best for me since my budget is 200$ and i need somthing really comfortable and I can use it whitout the need...

Thinking of adding these to the collection since I'm looking for another set of reasonably good closed headphones.    The UK & USA reviews I've read praise them highly.   What I want to know is - how is the clamping force?   If you recline slightly, do they fall towards the back of...

So, that's my objective. I currently have $200 for headphones. I may get more sometime, but at this moment I'm not sure. If I do get more, than I'll have $300 to play with, so I'd like to see a sub $300 can shootout. (I did search for one, and didn't see such a thread.) So here's what I'd love...

I have the beats solo, but I really don't like them and I am hoping to get another set of portable headphones for cheaper , I usually listen to house, classical and alternative rock and samba.What are somo good picks?

While trying to find out how much difference I could tell between music bitrates, I've come across a problem.  In particular, with the song "layla," I have a version that I got online which bitrate is 128 kbps, and I have the CD which I imported to my computer and put them as apple lossless...

I want to buy a good pair of closed headphones that will sound good without the use of amps and be comfortable to wear for a few hours at a time if needs be. The headphones will be used for listening to many genres including most types of rock (but nothing to heavy such as Death metal), Jazz...

Hey all. I replied in the recommendation thread but didnt really get an answer. Im looking to replace my iBuds with some closed full-sized, over the ear cans. I want over ear because I have really small ears and on-ear, in-ear designs are uncomfortable as all hell. I have varied interests in...

I've made my decision to take the Soundmagic HP 100. I know they are quite new and not very popular, but I did my research and they look very impressive. What do you think about them? I'm also open to alternatives and comparisons.

So ive waited WAY too long to buy my first pair of actually good headphones (Ive been surviving on monoprice 8320s). Recently I've been set on Beyerdynamic Custom Pro Ones, but a friend is now telling me they don't really compare to Shure SRH440's (which are half the price), and that they are...

Ok as stated in title I have a budget of around £180 to buy new headphones. All of my headphone experience is mainly IEMs. Currently using either Phonak 232 or AKG K3003. My only real experience of full size headphones are my Shure 440, I like them but would like to go up a level or 2. My...

I'm rather new to the world of audiophile headphones so I'm rather confused all over the place. I don't mind if the headphones are open or closed. I listen to Classical and Dubstep,DnB,Electro stuff of that sort. One of my concerns is that I plan to stream games and I'm not entirely sure if...

I am a previous owner of the HD 280 and actually loved the set, but had to return them for money issues. My main issue with the 280 was that they had a bit too much sub bass and not enough detail/texture in the upper mids and treble (the 280s have a pretty substantial fall off at around 4K)...

Summary   Pros: Soundstage, Beautiful Highs, Deep Bass   Cons: Neutral mids(not necessary a bad thing)   Read to know more!   Introduction   The Soundmagic HP100 sitting on top of the Matrix M-Stage Amp HPA-2(with USB DAC)     I had promised to review my Soundmagic HP100s (though I...

Looking to upgrade from my current pair: Denon D1001.  I know closed aren't preferable for classical, but I need to keep them closed to block external noises.  I use them mostly out of my MacBook listening to lossless files or streaming from MOG.   So far, I've been thinking about the...

I know there's likely a thread that I haven't found named something similar, but I need some direct advice because I'm relatively new to this.   My max (for the headphones, (portable) Amp/DAC comes later please disregard) is $300. They need to be portable, closed and be relatively mobile...

I'm looking for recommendations for a portable headphone that will be used solely with my Galaxy S4 playing FLAC audio files.  I'm looking for something to fulfill the Rock/Metal and Hip Hop Genre.  I love bass, but don't want something sloppy that will overpower the mids and highs.   I've...

I have the Dt990 Pros right now, the left speaker is not working so I am sending them in for repairs. I am just going to try some new headphones though and sell these when I get them back. Really disappointing. I had them for 3 months. Anyway, I want headphones for gaming and music. I have a...

So my Soundmagic HP100 have fractured at the joint here. It's not a clean break yet, but it seems rather threatening. Any ideas on how I can repair this? I'm alright with either DIY options as well as paying for the services of others.
