It seems very common to be able to replace earpads on headphones because they wear out but it’s rare to see a manufacturer make their headbands replaceable. Don’t headbands also wear out similarly to earpads?

I’ve been looking into flagship headphones including the Sennheiser HD800S, Sennheiser HD820, Sony Z1R and Focal Utopia and it seems sibilance is common with flagships. Right now I'm using the Bower and Wilkins P9's with an Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter and this combo sounds good to me but I'm...

I haven't seen any posts or news for the Dolby Dimension headphones on head-fi so I'm creating this thread. https://products.dolby.com/dimension/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs9Sro8rZ3gIVpiCtBh0G_wl7EAAYASAAEgJ7dfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#ProductDetails There are several reviews already available including some...

In particular used headphones that use cloth for the earpads and not something more hygienic like leather. Now if I'm not mistaken, used in-ear headphones are a no unless you can properly sanitize them or change the tips as that can actually transmit an infection, but what about headphones with...

I'm really interested in hearing some sound quality tests and comparisons. This is one of the things that is going to decide what capacity size I get.

I'm wondering if anyone here is planning on doing a comparison between these units in the coming weeks. I'm really interested to know how the SQ of the two will compare.

After looking at reviews I want to give these a shot but I can't find a reputable place to buy them at. Not even ebay has them, although they do have the more expensive heavier titanium version. Online I've found accessoryjack.com but I have no idea if they are reputable. Are these no longer made?

The Pioneer SE-DIR800C is a wireless headphone set, but it has the option to plug in a pair of wired headphones into a 1/8" jack. Those of you who own it and have used this, how good does this work as a DAC/AMP? I would be connecting a Macbook Pro to it through an optical cable. Also, have you...

The JVC is about $130 and the Pioneer is about $260, but if I were to get the Pioneer I would sell the wireless headphones which I think should get me about $70 dollars. I'm only interested in using the devices as dac/amps for movies with wired headphones. I'll be using low impedance...

Well I have a pair of Monster Beats (I know, I know, over-priced) hooked up to a Macbook Pro. The sound is very disappointing though, but if I hook these up to my iPod, it all sounds very good. Part of the problem with the Macbook Pro is that there is a strong hiss in the background, but overall...

Ok so I have a pair of Sennheisers HD 280's and a pair of Monster Beats. Now I know that many here hate the Monster Beats but lets leave that out for this thread please. The problem I've been having with my Monster Beats is that they are susceptible to hissing. Now these headphones have a slight...

Ok I started a thread asking for recommendations and after getting some suggestions and doing a bit of digging around I've come across these three. These headphones are roughly in the same price range and assuming I can get all of them at the same price I'm wondering how they compare to each...

Ok I have a laundry list of things I *want* and I'm almost sure I won't get them all but here it goes. Currently I have the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's. I've had these for a few years now and I think and they sound decent but I've never been blown away by the way they sound. Still the sound is...

Besides audiocubes, and bluetin, is there another place in the United States, preferabbly one with a good return policy that has them? I'm specifically looking for the ath-cm700 and not the cm7. Also, do you still get the audio-technica warranty if you buy from audiocubes or bluetin? I can...

Anybody have any comparisons between these three earbuds yet? I know full-size cans, and iems will be better, but when portability is a top priority and you don't want isolation, you're only left with earbuds.

I really love the comfort, weight, and size of the Bose headphones. I don't find the sound to be terrible, but I do find that the bass on these actually give me a slight headache. I think I've always been sensitive to "booming" bass. I much prefer a Bass that sounds deep and refined with not...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in-SKKpnyjM Have fun guys.

I know most people here hate Bose, so let's not get into that. I just need to know if I need to look out for counterfeit products (please no jokes that counterfeits might actually be better than the real ones )

I tried some Bose Triports at a store and I couldn't listen to them because the display thing wasnt working, but they are super comfortable and light. You can just about forget that you are wearing headphones. So what is out there that is equally light and comfortable? Or does Bose take the cake...

Background:Well the more I listen to my various headphones the more I can discern the differences and the worse the stock psp and Ipod buds sound. I'm likeing the Vibes, but the whole IEM thing doesn't seem to be working for me so I'm looking for another solution. Full size can's are too big...

Ok, so after doing some reading here at the forum I decided to get some v-moda vibes. So my collection of headphones are the Sony PSP included earbuds, the Apple included Earbuds, the Senn HD280, and now the V-moda vibes. I bought the HD280's a while back really hoping to get a nice...
