    Looking for relatively portable circumaural headphones for less than $300

    I'm looking for "portable" full size circumaural headphones to compliment my ATH-M50 modded with velour pads for $300 or lower. I am running unamped out of a smartphone (and sometimes off a computer at work).  I've decided that while I like the sound of my M50's for the most part, they are not...

    Name of the company that make "Beats" looking headphones with no logo on the outside of the earpieces.

    I cannot, for the life of me, remember the company that makes headphones that sorta look like Beats headphones, but aren't, and did not have a logo on their earpieces. I'm not necessarily even wanting to buy them, but I just have this nagging thing in my brain to figure out what company it was...

    Looking for new all around IEM and have a $200 budget. So many choices...

    So, I've been out of the game for a while, especially after the Sennheiser IE8 debacle I ran into several years ago (Long story short, the kept breaking on me, customer support decided to ignore me the second time they broke, after a week and half with the replacement, and I decided to never...

    Upgrading from CKS70? (No IE8, detailed why inside).

    I'm looking to upgrade from a pair of CKS70 that I've been using for almost a year. I like the soundstage, sound signature and the amount of bass, but I would think there would be something with better clarity. I mostly listen to Rock/Acoustic Rock, but pretty much listen to everything but...

    How much does build quality matter to you?

    From my own personal experience, build quality has started to affect how I buy headphones, no matter how good the warranty might be. My top three most expensive headphones I've bought myself (IE8, Custom 3, and Super Fi. 5) all have broken on me. The Custom 3 was replaced (but then I realized...

    IEM's with similar sound signature to the IE8 for less than $100?

    I loved my Sennheiser IE8's, until they recently broke on me, and Sennheiser's customer service has not gotten back to me in more than a week. Anyway, I've done a ton of research in the past week, but haven't really nailed down another replacement pair of headphones to either replace/back up...

    Need a little help in finding a new $200 IEM.

    Right now, I finally am employed (Hooray!) and I don't think my JVC FX300 are cutting it for me right now. I have a budget of about 200 dollars, which seems to be the sweet spot for about every single IEM ever. My source is a Samsung P2 (with a possible upgrade to a Cowon S9 or iRiver Spinn)...

    Cowon S9 vs iRiver Spinn

    Which do you think is a better device? The iRiver Spinn: iriver Spinn caught on video, kills without words - Engadget or the Cowon S9? Cowon's S9 Curve with 3.3-inch AMOLED touch-screen kills with style - Engadget One of them might be my next MP3 player.

    New $100 or less IEM/Canalphones...

    I've been thinking of upgrading my headphones, mainly because curiosity, and mainly because my XtremeMac FS1's feel like they're about to fall apart. So I've been thinking about changing it up and looking at a couple different IEM/Canalphones. I've mainly listen to indie rock, rock pop, etc...

    Final Poll, where the Head-Fi decide what I should get!

    Apparently, I cannot make this decision myself, so I leave it up to you guys, the Head-Fi community, to decide for me. Right now I'm using a Zune 30 with Xtreme FS-1, the only reason I am unhappy with the Zune 30 is because it's a tad large, and the battery life is just not very good. I...

    Zune 80 vs. Samsung p2?

    I'm trying to figure which one I wanna get. each one has their advantages, but I can't decide which one to get. What do you guys think? I do currently use a Zune 30 right now, but I don't have any music tied up with the Zune marketplace, it's all my own stuff....

    Can't decide on a new flash player...

    So I'm trying to decide on a new flash music player mainly for working out, but also for portable usage when my iPod 5g would be a little impractical. I've pretty much decided between the Sony A810 (4gb) or the new 3G iPod Nano (4gb). I was tempted to wait for the Sansa View, but it's rather...

    Cord Manager for A900?

    I've been looking to get some sort of cord manager for my A900's, as the cord is quite long (touches the floor when I'm standing up with my iPod.), I've looked at the Smartwrap, but I don't think it would fit the thicker A900 cords very well. Anyone have any suggestions on a cord manager for...

    Need some help with some neutral headphones...

    As you can see from my sig, I just recently purchased a pair of Sony MDRV6's last week. After mulling it over, I don't think I want to spend money this quickly for basically an upgrade to the same sound of the Sony's with the A900 or the DT770...what I'm looking for specifically are some neutral...

    Sony MDRV6, Sony D777, or Panasonic RP-HTX7

    These are the headphones I've narrowed down to that I can get at my local Fry's. I'm more into neutral/warm sounding headphones, and I was wondering what you guys would get if you had to choose between these three headphones? These are going to be the first full cans that I'll own, so I'm also...

    Do I need full size cans?

    Preface: I only really listen to music using my iPod/amp combo, mainly because I like to walk around when I listen to music for whatever reason. As you can see in my sig, I do not own a full size can, the closest I got are the EW9's/KSC75's which are, of course, clip-ons. I tempted (damn you...

    I don't think I'm buying anything from Ultimate Ears again.

    So I had a pair of Super.Fi 5 Pros that I got for Christmas (a little early Christmas Gift from my dad). And while I doing the FS Mod to test it out, the housing came apart from the driver where it's not supposed to actually come apart. So I did what anyone else would've done when you've only...

    Audio Technica EW9 and Koss KSC75 comparison....

    Well, I've been comparing the two headphones this entire weekend. I recieved the EW9's this Friday, and switching on and off with the KSC75's (unmodded). I also did a direct switch back and forth between 4 songs that I know well just about an hour ago. My test setup: 5th Gen Ipod, ALO...

    Randomly looking at headphones @ Amazon..

    And I found this to be particularly amusing: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD2...&s=electronics Specifically, look at the "Better Together" linked items. If you aren't laughing, you have no soul. I mean, I really don't know why frying pans would be "better...

    Just for curiosity's sake, better earclip headphones than KSC75?

    Just sorta curious of there are better sounding earclip headphones than the KSC75's? I mean I'm spending hundreds of dollars on IEM's but sometimes you want the airness of open cans, and I was wondering if there is even an upgrade to the KSC75's with the earclip design. I dislike full size...

    And the upgraditis continues...

    I'm looking for a step up from my LDM+ and PA2V2, which are great little amps, but I think are now my weakest audio link in my portable audio setup. So as I wait for my Xin Supermicro IV(probably get it...oh...March.), I'm looking for a step up from those two portables amps. I currently own a...

    Poll: HD30GB9 vs. iMod vs. 5G iPod

    This pretty much lines up with how expensive it's going to be to buy those three items. But I really can't decide which one to get in the long haul. The HD30GB9 sound great, and it has drag and drop capability from what I understand, and it's probably the most portable of the three because of...

    Today is a good day for audio...

    Same day, I got both my portable amp (PA2V2) and my new set of IEM's (Super.Fi 5 Pro). My ears are having an heargasm right now as I type this post. First thing I did was open up the PA2V2, which is much smaller than I expected. Put some tunes on with both my e2c's and KSC75's. The amp just...

    Should I bother with Shure E2G?

    I currently own a pair of Audio-Technica CK-7's right now, and I have ultra-soft sleeves and a new minted PA2V2 coming sometime next week or so. I was wondering if it's even worth it to pick up a pair of the Shure e2g's. It's sitting on a cart right now at a price of 65 bucks (good price...

    LDM+ vs. PA2V2 for Low Ohm earphones (Sansa e200)...

    I'm looking for a smallish portable amp to be used in conjunction with a Sansa E200 series player and Audio Technica Ck-7 (16 ohm) earphones. I also would occasionally use a pair of KSC-75's on the player as well. I've read through the entire LDM+ thread and I'm still wondering if the LDM+...
