Hey Head-Fi, I've been looking around for good headphones for the past few weeks, and I've finally settled on deciding between these 2 cans. I know that in most cases, it would be the DT770/600 without question, but I'm not sure if I have the proper amplification. I've read that you need a...

So, I'm torn between these two cans right now. I listen to mostly rock with some intrsumentals, hip hop, and acoustic thrown in. The SRH840 are about $30 cheaper though. From what I've read, these cans sound extremely similar, so I'm trying to see if anyone else can throw in any advice. Can...

Hey guys, so currently, I have a set of Grado SR 225is being run out of my Denon AVR 2805 receiver (hooked up to my laptap via SPDIF to RCA port). The receiver was a hand me down, so I'm lucky to have it. It provides a better form of amplication than my soundcard or Zune. I love the awesome mid...

In terms of comfort, how does the ATH ESW9A compare to the Grado SR225is? I've heard that ESW9As are uncomfortable, but are they better than the Grados? The Grados cup nearly covered my whole ears, so if the ESW9A cups are bigger, I might be fine. Also, do they isolate ANY better?

Do these cans retain the sound signature of the hfi 2200/2400 but in a closed design? Are the mids recessed and how are these in terms of detail, imaging, and separation?   These can be had for $140 right now, so I'm strongly considering them.

I know these cans take some serious juice to run, so would a A/V stereo receiver be good enough to use with them? The receiver in question is a Denon AVR 2805. When these are hooked up to my laptop, at 100% sound on VLC media player, with the laptop sound set to 30%, Grado sr225i's are too loud...

Alright, so I just got my SR-225i in today, and god dang, the Grado house sound is something else altogether. I've only listened to them for a little bit, so detailed impressions will come in a few days.   The vocals on these sound amazing. They're just sweet to listen to, and guitars...

When people say these cans and Grados in general are good for rock, do they mean all genres of rock? I mean will Grados make bands like Arcade Fire, The Cure, Brand New, Billy Talent and artists along that line sound really good?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a strong open/closed can for $200 or less. These are just going to be for at home use, and I'm going to run them out of a denon avr 2805 receiver hooked up to my laptop. There was a noticeable improvement in SQ when I plugged my M50 in to these.   The genres of...

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting some k601s for home use, and I've heard they're pretty dead without a good amp. Will a Denon AVR 2805 surround sound reciever hooked up to my laptop via optical cable be capable of running the cans? Here's the...

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting some k601s for home use, and I've heard they're pretty dead without a good amp. Will a Denon AVR 2805 surround sound reciever hooked up to my laptop via stereo cable be capable of running the cans? Here's the specs...

So I've searched around and finally decided on the SRH840s. Based on what people have said, they sound a lot like what I want. My only concern is the soundstage. Is their soundstage just completely lacking and closet like in presence or just average? Also, a pair of SRH440s that I listened to at...

Hey guys, today I dropped by a store and got to a/b the sennheiser 280s and beyerdynamic dt770s (80 ohms version). I was running them straight out of my iPhone, and while the 770s sounded great, the 280s just sounded more present. In terms of pure sq, the 770s were cleaner and it seemed like I...

Hey guys, I am looking for some decent full sized cans that are $150 dollars are less. l'm fine with open closed. I want cans that are going to be able to give me all the details in the music and really bring the vocals to life. I'm not really that big on bass either and would prefer a more...

I just got my PA2V2 in the mail today, and I plugged my iphone in to it via a lod cable. However, sound came out through the speakers instead of IEMs. I had to connect it via hp out instead. Is the amp faulty or am I doing something obviously wrong?

I love the Shure olive tips for their comfort and sq, but honestly, they're a pain in the @$$ to insert and remove completely. Is there a special technique to this or something?

Can you guys name any good amps for 30 dollars or less. I know it's a small amount, but it's what I have to work with.

I've got some etymotics that I want to get some shure olives for. Would I be better off getting them in smalls for deeper insertion or would a shallower fit with mediums be fine and not hinder the sq?

If etymotic glider tips fit in my ear well, would medium sized shure olives fit about as well or would I need to go for the bigger/smaller ones?

Hey guys. I'm a bit new to this, so I'm wondering if an original 30 GB Zune would be considered decent portable source gear?

Hey guys. I've been looking at IEMs in the aforementioned price range, and the Head-First RE0s have really stuck out. I have a few questions about them though. First, is the sound quality really as stellar as described? Second, for someone who listens to mostly alternative and standard rock...
