I mainly listen to Indie, folk, and psychedelic electronic (Dan deacon/animal collective). Sound quality is probably the most important factor for me. Thank you!

Got it! Yeah I found a person that actually lives in the town next to me that has them :O. Thanks a bunch!

That might be a bit more modding than I'm comfortable with :sweat_smile: But thanks for finding that! I havent heard of that site before, is it safe to use?

As the title suggests, this is basically what I'm looking for: https://humanheadphones.com/ Unfortunately they're no longer making them and I can't find any second-hand versions on the market. Does anyone know of another headphone that does basically the same thing?

  That's weird, the head-fi page for the E10 says one of the cons is durability :/

Hi all, I'm looking for a pair of earbuds for an upcoming hiking trip I'm gonna be taking across New Zealand. Currently I have the freebies from Apple, but I figure I can throw down 50$ to upgrade. Taking a quick look at the Head Gear section, I found these two are budget and highly rated...

I'm looking for some nice (cheapish) on-ears. I listen to a lot of psychadelic rock/electronic (dan deacon, animal collective, coco rosie, etc). Looking for relatively balanced sound (definitely not V-shape) and tons of detail. These are what I'm trying to decide between:   Noontec ME3114-B...

~bump~

Hey Kozic, thanks for the reply! I'll look into these a bit more, but at first glance idk if they're what I'm looking for because a lot of the reviews I read say they have recessed mids :/. I listen to a lot of animal collective, dan deacon, coco rosie, a lot of stuff that needs the mids to be...

Hi all   I'm looking for some on-ear headphones for around 50$. I'd like them to have as neutral a sound signature as possible with as much detail as possible. Can anyone suggest something good? :)   Please and thanks! 

bump ><

Thanks for the replies, but yeah, as KG said I'm looking primarily for comfort and secondarily for soundstage. The reason being is that these are a gift for my mom, who specifically said she wants comfortable headphones with padding on the strap. She said that she wouldn't notice a difference in...

Revised list, anyone care to comment?   Takstar Pro 80   m audio q40   ATH-M40x

I'm looking for a pair of on-ear headphones at 30$ or less with as comfortable earpads as possible as well as padding on the headstrap. Would like descent soundstage if that's possible at that price but otherwise audio quality doesn't have to be the best.

List narrowed slightly. Read somewhere that momentum on ears can have a bit of a splashy/blurred sound on complicated/fast tracks, which would be a problem with some Animal Collective music. May take them off the list unless told otherwise   Sennheiser Momentum on-ear shure srh440 m audio...

Thanks for the heads up, I haven't looked into price yet just specs. A couple corrections though: Sennheiser Momentum and m audio q40 actually go at around 100 on ebay. New list:   Sennheiser Momentum  krk KNS 6400 shure srh440 m audio q40 donscorpio dolphin Takstar Pro 80 Sennheiser HD...

So I went to best buy and checked out some headphones. I think I know a little bit more about the sound I want now. I'd like some sound stage, but not too much, as well as V-shaped sound. I don't want to have to power them with an external amp, and would like them to be full-sized or around-ear...

While I do like bass, animal collective is kind of all over the place with lows/mids/highs, so idk if I want to get headphones that specifically excell in bass if that means their highs and mids get left in the dust :/

I'm not sure how to answer that really due to my lack of experience with headphones :/. I'd like them to be balanced yet very captivating. As if the band is literally standing around me playing. I dont want to miss Any of the sounds (high mid or low). And no, the k518s were good. I'm just...

Hi, I've had a pair of AKG K518 LE for about 4 years and they finally broke on me. So now I'm looking for some new headphones! I have a little bit larger budget this time, about 50-100$, and would like to get the best bang for my buck. I'm primarily interested in electronic alternative music...

Ok, thank you everybody for the massive amount of help!!! :)

sooo what your saying is for my price range/specifications k518le would be the best sound-quality headphones to get?

Ok, so right now I'm down to the k518le and the Audio Technica M50.  I found these; http://www.ecrater.com/p/11512664/buy-ath-m50-professional-around, which market the ATM50 at only 60$ with a 1.3m cord, but one of the feedbacks says fraud, so I'm not sure if that's reliable?  If anyone has...

iems are uncomfortable and just arent very pleasing to hear imo for some reason. ya i really dont know what genre my music falls under, since i listen to everything.  hence why im trying to find phones that are good qual at all frequencies. Also the Shure SRH440 have really low bass dont...
