I'm looking for earphones that I can use while lifting weights, ones that won't "get in the way" while I'm lifting. That is, I don't want the wires to get caught on anything, or the earbuds to slip out of my ears. I would like them to have good sound quality, and I don't particularly care about...

I love my Shure 840's for rock, but for hip hop/rap they seem to be missing the punchy bass of many of the songs. I've heard the M50's have good bass, but are there other cans for around $150 that give a really punchy pronounced bass?   Thanks, Mike

Any thoughts on a headphone (open or closed, does not matter) that will give me extremely detailed, clear/transparent, and articulate sound? Around $300 or less is my price range.   I listen to rock (Rush), and would love an extremely detailed sound.   A wide soundstage would also be a...

Open or closed, doesn't matter. Maybe some Grado? I mainly listen to rock (Rush, Vertical Horizon)

Is the difference between the Grado SR80i and the 125i worth the $50? Or are the 80i's just as good as the 125i's?  

How do you guys figure out which headphones you are going to buy?  Do you go to someplace like Guitar Center and try a bunch of them on?

My Shure SRH840's should be coming in Saturday. I'm pumped! Any tips on taking care of headphones, so that they last a long time?    

I am new to headphones, and ask obvious questions about them sometimes (well, they aren't obvious to me). I would just like to thank the users at Head-Fi for putting up with me, and helping me out. The biggest thing I've learned is that audio gear gets expensive!   Thanks Head-Fi and Head-Fi...

Any recommendations on a good case for the SRH840's? Around $20 would be nice.     Thanks, Mike

I've been looking at some career options, and psychoacoustics seems interesting. Anyone know anything about it, or are in the field?   Thanks! Mike

This is my first headphone purchase, and I just want to make sure the seller is going to give me the actual product, not a counterfeit.  Here is the link:  ...

Any programs I need on Windows to rip CD's as FLACs?

I'm curious as to where you guys buy your music. iTunes, Amazon MP3, CD's, something else?

Will sound quality change depending on which mp3 player you listen to your music on? For example, the iPod Nano versus the Clip+. If so, best mp3 player for around $50?

I usually listen to Rush (the band) and would like headphones that play them the best, but also can play hip hop with some bass when I'm in the mood. So far I've heard the Ultrasone DJ1's, the ATH-M50's, and the Shure SRH750 DJ's. Which one do you consider the best for what I am looking for?  ...

I understand that the Beats Studio are overpriced. I've been looking at some headphones that are cheaper and better than them.   Are the Audio-Technica ATH-M50's a good heaphone? Do they need an amp? What exactly is a headphone amp?   As you can tell, I'm very new. Help!
