Seeing as your budget supported a Titan X, I suppose your headphone budget would be quite high as well. A decent pair of passive noise canceling headphones should suffice. I am about to receive my own first gaming computer, and have based the entire rig on silence, as I have open headphones. I...

I have checked out the IE80s before, and although they are over my budget, I may try to squeeze it some more, because I am aware they are what I am looking for. That said, I have also looked at the IE60s, which , I have heard, have the same driver as the IE80s, though in a different earphone...

The type of music I enjoy varies, though smooth bass and clear mid/treble is what I like. I'm not a big fan of bright sounding earphones, a more subtle earphone is what I like, for example something more like a studio monitor. That said, the music I listen to is (and please don't consider these...

Much better. Stock iPod earphones and iPod audio are rubbish. You're gonna be amazed. Not familiar with the iBasso, though it should be good, and the Shures should sound great. 

I am looking for a good set of earphones around the $200 mark. I am thinking of a pair with clear highs and warm mid--low end. Sound isolation and ruggedness is not necessary, but would be nice to have. Will be used on a bus. Thinking of Sennheiser IE80's, the gold-black ones. Will not be...

Got the fulla, sounds absolutely amazing. Nothing bad to say at all. Well worth $80, plus $30 for shipping. I will talk more about the Frequency response thing, and that is frequency responses are usually tested to a value, for example if something states 20Hz-20kHz -3dB, then the headphone will...

Just to clarify a few statements, I live in the country on a quiet road, and listen to music in a thermally insulated (also blocks some sound), carpeted room with a large wooden door that blocks the rest. There is absolutely no background noise problem, as even though you hear outside noise...

I was not permanently planning on covering the grilles, I know these need to be open to give it a large soundstage and to give the driver better linearity, I just meant for the sound isolation to be removable so when the noise in my house is at a greater than acceptable limit I have the option...

I've gotta ask, since I first saw the specs and the price for these phones I instantly felt I needed them, especially since the cable in my Sennheiser HD205 II's recently gave up the ghost. Due to my sister. These headphones were good and all, and still... kinda... work, except for the constant...

I checked out the Schiit Fulla and it looks cool. Amp+DAC combo for $80 is pretty cool. The reason I am looking for more than just 20Hz-20KHz range is because to me it means they did not test the headphone/dac properly. Plus any good headphone/dac will have a freq response greater than...

I am searching for a good compact USB DAC in the realms of between $50 and $75 though will go higher if tempting features and specifications are present. I would like it to natively support Mac OS 10.5.8 though I have dual-booted it with windows 7 though the windows side only has a total of 30GB...

So according to the frequency response graph, it has a flat response (the flatter the better for this line) up until 1 KHz then they hit a mountain range. Expect more normal sounding bass and lower midrange, but other than that some higher frequencies will suffer. You want these frequencies to...
