Hi I am looking at new cans for listening to metal music. I like to have the mids louder than everything, and with a very strong treble as well. Bass is also important to me, but not as much as mids. I can go up to about $300... but if theres something thats like waaay better than everything...

I would like to get my first pair of open headphones, because I would really like a large soundstage for listening to metal music. I like strong mids, not recessed. Good bass would be nice, but not too strong.

Hi I currently own Sennheiser HD 25 1-ii's. I pretty much only listen to stuff like Melodic Death Metal, and Folk Metal, so I need good mids and highs. While I love the Hd 25's for listening to metal music, I would like something with much better soundstage. I have tried Grado's and I honestly...

ABout 2 months ago my sister needed new earbuds because her old ones had broke. I told her that if she spent a bit more she could get something that sounds much better, and lasts a lot longer. Well she was very stubborn and got the same earbuds again. Well, a month later they broke. This time...

SO I got my sennheiser HD25 1-II's, about 3 weeks ago because apparently they were great for metal, which is all I listen to. I really like them, but I almost always prefer my Etymotic HF5. This is because when any sound at all leaks in, it sounds much worse for me. Also, I feel like the vocals...

Is it possible? If so I would really like one. Would be very useful for me when gaming, I wouldn't have to buy a separate headset. All the time I see football broadcasters with them. How can I do that? Also, if I did would there have to be 2 cords? One for mic and one for headphones? Where...

I have a budget of $200. Cant be extended much higher than $220. I listen to ONLY rock music. I want the vocals to really pop out, like the singers mouth is 12 inches from my ear. Open/closed does not matter, nor does circumaural/supraural. Also, I have a FiiO E7 amp/dac.

Hey everyone. My friend has had some Bose Triports for a while now. He wants new headphones. He listens to only rock/metal and has a budget of $150. Open/closed doesn't matter, circumaural/supraural doesn't matter, although he prefers circumaural. Which do you think would be the best for him?

about 4 days ago I received my Shure SRH940. I love the detail, but I don't think it is that great for the music I listen to. I listen to hard rock/metal. I feel like the instruments are all together, and its hard to differentiate sometimes. Also, I think that the vocals seem far away, with the...

Hey I got my FiiO E7 today. Have some questions that may be problems... I don't know. 1. I am using a 2006 macbook running snow leopard. When I go into system profiler it recognizes the DAC in USB, it says USB Audio DAC. So thats good. When I plug my headphones into it and play music it comes...

So I made a poll on a site called ask500people about beats by dre. I thought the results would be interesting, and after about 5 minutes they are. Check it out here, Please don't vote though, having audiophiles vote on this poll kind of ruins the purpose...

I have been looking at different DAP's and I really like the Cowon C2, and I hear cowon has the best sound quality.  I currently use my phone, a droid x, to play my music through an app called playerpro which has an eq, flac support etc. If I were to get the C2, how much better would the sound...

I just realized that when I put my new HF5's in my ears, I don't get any isolation pretty much. I realized this when my family was watching a movie. I put the HF5 in my ears, and I couldn't hear the fan anymore, but I could hear the movie perfectly fine (no music was playing). Sooo I am...

Hey I am getting my Shure SRH940 in the mail next week and want to get an amp next to help the SQ even more. i would like to spend below $50 but if you can convince me to spend more... then I  might.  I was looking at either the FiiO E6 or a cMoy. Probably the cMoy, people say its even better...

Hey I am just starting to become a full on audio geek :P. My first choice was an IEM, the etymotic HF5. I got them a week ago hahah, and I love them! Now I am researching some full sized headphones for when I am listening to music at home (which I realised is about 99% of the time :P). I want...

Hey guys theres this awesome new Hard Rock band called Sinsrift. They are really great. I was appointed their official advertiser! So, I am advertising for them. They are really good. I would compare them to Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin... just better. They need 1000 likes on facebook...

So a few days ago I spent all my hard earned money on a pair of Etymotic HF5's I ordered on amazon for 98.97.  They will arrive at my door on wednesday. I can not wait to try them out. I have been using skullcandy (AKA ****) and some other crappy earbuds and headphones (I decided that I prefer...

Just out of curiosity. DO you immediately start breaking them in for 50 hours before you listen to them? Do you take it out of the box and nearly rip the cord in half because you are so excited? Do you slowly read everything in the box as you gently take them out of the box? Do you put them on...

I ordered a pair of Etymotc HF5's a couple days ago. Waiting for them to ship (Cant wait!) but in the meantime I decided to check my drawer of earbuds... found my pair of Apple In ears that I got on ebay a few years ago. I remember that the reason that these ones broke was because one of the...

I have been wanting new earbuds. These will replace my crappy skullcandy titans I recieved as a gift. Those titans, although they suck, are the best quality I have ever heard. I have been looking around at many in ear buds, and I have narrowed it down to the etymotics I think. I mainly listen to...
