I am looking for warm, sort of basshead heaphones similar to the X1s but with removable pads. I really like the sound of Fidelio X1s, but I had to get rid of them because the pads are not removable and they just soak up too much sweat and grease during summer. I also really like the sound of...

Bought these as my first IEMs. Read raves online on how comfortable they are only to find out that these are nothing but pain. I tried all the included foam tips as well as the rubber ones that come with the earphones. The rubber ones are more comfortable but the loss in sound quality is too...

So since the padding on the Fidelio X1 is not removable I decided to wash them..completely. Water + dish detergent seemed to get a lot of the grease and dirt out. I let them dry for 3 days. Plugged them in, seemed to sound fine at first.   But upon closer listening I noticed that something...

Is this accurate? Does the JDSLabs 3.5mm audio cable really have <0.1 ohm impedance? http://www.jdslabs.com/products/145/jds-labs-3-5mm-interconnect-cable/   I have no way to test this.   I'm asking because I purchased Fidelio X1s and looking to replace the cable. Most are recommending the...

I have a pair of He-300s and been meaning to try something else, something maybe bassier but still good sounding.   My He-300s for X1s, decent trade?   Let me know what you think.

Loving my HE-300s but the bass feels lackluster. Would adding an amp improve the bass at all? Currently using an old Asus Xonar DG PCI sound card which claims to have a built-in headphone amp.

What are the major sound differences? If you had experience with the HE-300 and HD 598/558 what are some of the differences? I know 1 for sure is that the cable on the HE-300 is widely hated. Considering the HE-300 even though I have the HD558s. The HD558 are still within the 30 day return...

My setup is very mediocre. Cheap Asus Xonar DG sound card with its built-in "headphone amp".   I've been using the M50S for about 2 years. Right off the bat I found them uncomfortable after about an hour of use but I endured it because I liked the sound coming from my cheapo Panasonics that...

My Pannies HTF600 broke so I am shopping for something a little bit better but at not much higher cost.    I use the Xonar DG soundcard if that matters, it has a built in amp for headphones. I game occasionally:Dota2, Smite, APB, etc. Listen to music: Prog./Alt. Rock, Trance, DnB Watch...

I bought these Panasonic HTF-600 headphones a while back. They were pretty comfy and the sound was nice. My headband snapped yesterday and I am using them as speakers at the moment with the volume on max. I am looking for a replacement. I was thinking maybe to try different headphones if they...

I seldom play FPS, and when I do it's either Battlefield or TF2. I do enjoy a third person shooter, APB (it relies heavily on sound) I opened up foobar and noticed that most of the music is pretty bassy but my mood decided my music choice so it varies from time to time. I'm a big movie freak...

  I listen to a lot of music. Many different genres. I used to own a pair of Denon AH-D2000 but I sold them here, on head-fi. Since then I've been using a pair of shoddy headphones from a clothing store. HAHA. I realized I don't need something as fancy as D2000s but I really can't stand...

Hello. I am looking for best headphones under $100. They should be closed since my computer is pretty loud but if they sound great I might forget about the sound of my computer. So far it's between:   Audio-Technica ATH-M40fs Pro Studio dbi Pro 700 Sennheiser HD 555 I bid but I...

I used to own a pair of Denon AH-D2000s but I sold them because I did not need that quality of sound for that price. I see JVC HA-RX700 headphones on buy.com for $34 with free shipping. Was wondering what you guys think of these headphones. Any insight would be great. Thanks.

I hear crackling with my AHD2000s in music. I can't figure out if it's the music or the headphones that are causing this crackling. I listen to a lot of beat crazy music ( electronica, techno ) and sometimes my music has this crackling intentionally but sometimes I wonder if it's the...

My friend is offering me this Diamond XtremeSound 7.1 sound card. It has the CMI8768 chip. Something like this: Diamond XtremeSound 7.1 DDL review @ TechSpot I was wondering if it is better than my mobo's(Evga 680i SLI) onboard which has:7.1channel HDA 6 x audio - mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm 1...

I'm so happy I got these. PIC_0051 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

So my friend is crazed in the whole skullcandy thing. He wants portable headphones that look cool and sound good. He listens to a lot of heavy stuff ( heavy metal, all that other stuff ). Should he stick with skullcandies or is there something better? Look factor is very important to him...

I've never had a good pair of headphones so this "review" probably won't help anyone. This is my first pair of good headphones and I'm running them from onboard unamped. I am planning to be getting a sound card soon though. Bought the denons for $211. First time I saw them in person they...

LIMITED GOODS Electronics DENON HYBRID HEADPHONES AH-D2000 Spoke with the owner a couple mins ago. I bought a pair, he now has 8 left. They have very good reviews on reseller ratings.

So I've just received an e-mail from buy.com saying that they will no longer have the DENON Ah-D2000 headphones and have no clue on the ETA. I've been looking on a couple other sites and they're all either too expensive or sold out. So, here is where you come in. I need the 1-step down...
