So I'm looking to buy a new set of headphones. Open-back. Budget is preferably in the $400-600 range, but I can stretch depending on if it would be worth the money. Some background: my main source is a bit of a limitation: I listen and watch almost everything through my computer. I am running a...

So I've been thinking it's time to revamp the entire audio setup that's connected to my computer. As it stands, I currently use Logitech speakers and connect them directly to my computer's onboard Realtek audio. I do have a spdif optical jack as well that's currently going unused. I currently...

So I'm looking into finally upgrading my HD 280s, which has served me faithfully for some time now. They represent, along with the HD 497s, my first foray into headphones. I'm pretty happy with my set of earphones, but I need a good home 'phone to listen to, since I live in an apartment complex...

So here's the deal. My recent purchases [two earphones, the MEElectronics A151 & VSonic GR07] have inspired me to upgrade my home phones [Sennheiser HD 497 @ HD 280 Pro, my first forays into higher end headphones]. I've pretty much decided on the Beyerdynamic DT880 [250 ohm version] as my main...

So I've recently discovered that the right earbud on my Panasonic HJE-900s is going out [sadly it is the earbud and not just the cable, which I could've replaced]. So now I'm hunting for a replacement/upgrade. I like what I read about the VSonic GR07 & the Fischer Audio DBA-02. The problem is...

Okay, so here's the deal. I've typically shied away from IEMs. I've never found an earbud that I've liked [by that I mean I could never get one to fit comfortably in my ear and stay there for any period of time], and until recently, didn't differentiate earbuds from actual 'phones that you...

I'm looking into a new set of headphones and I was unsure as to what I should get. I'd mainly use them with my iRiver flash mp3 player, though it would also get used with my computer occasionally. I will not be using an amp, so keep that in mind. In addition, since they'd be used more often with...
