Best headphones for under $100? Sennheiser HD 280?
I got my M50s on E-bay about a year ago for $90. The seller lists at $159 but accepts offers. I'm not too sure what the stance on linking to ebay is here, but if you are interested, PM me and I'll give you the seller's name. I had HD555s before the M50s and was completely blown away by how...- Kenix

Looking for portable closed cans that sounds like open ones
Well I went with the Ath-M50s in the end. They just came in the mail and even without burn-in, they sound great. They're surprisingly similar to my 500+ hour HD555s, but with more bass. Very noticeable on songs with dragging bass lines, less so with drums. Sound stage, detail, and highs are all...- Kenix

Sennheiser HD448 ($100) vs ATH-A700 ($110)
Shure SRH-440, AT ATH-M50, and Denon D1001 are also commonly recommended for closed phones in that price range.- Kenix

HD 555 vs. HD485
This is just a general observation about the HD555...they seem to have gotten A LOT more popular in recent months. About a year ago, when I was researching HD555 vs. AD700, the overwhelming response was that both are great phones, but the AD700s will edge out the HD555s just slightly in every...- Kenix

HELP!!!! M50s or DT770 PRO
In that comparison, considering the M50s can be had for $90, they are the clear winner for me.- Kenix

Sennheiser HD485 vs Sennheiser HD555
Some people have tried turning their HD555s into pseudo closed cans by filling the housing with blue tac. Not my cup of tea, but supposedly the results aren't bad. I'm sure "HD555 mod" will come up with threads about it and more.- Kenix

Sennheiser HD485 vs Sennheiser HD555
Never heard the HD485, but I do enjoy my HD555s very much. However for metal and dance, you may be better served by a closed back headphone that offers more bass. I wouldn't say the bass is lacking on the HD5xx series, but it is very tight and focused. Dance/house/electronica sounds fine through...- Kenix

Looking for portable closed cans that sounds like open ones
I've been searching for portable headphones (no IEMs or buds) that will replicate the sound out of my Sennheisers (HD555, PX100) without leaking large volumes of sound. - Closed - Isolation not so important as just not leaking sound. - Exceptional comfort is a must. I have medium sized...- Kenix

I am grateful for the chance to test drive the pinnacle of IEMs on the market today, and at virtually no cost to me.

I tried the complys, the ety insertion method, and the flip method, with negligible difference from all three.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I guess I should clarify some things. 1. I found the soundstage and separation good, but that was only to be expected. The reason I am unimpressed is that the TF10s only managed to meet my expectations in those two areas and absolutely failed all others save...- Kenix

HD 555s and HD 448s for the same price...advice welcome
I can only comment on the HD555s but in my experience, I cannot hear a word of anything anyone is saying to me with music playing at moderate volumes. They are very comfortable to wear for hours on end after you stretch the headband out.- Kenix
