hi. i recently sampled the audio technica athm50 and i thought their bass was amazing, but i felt that their mids were slightly lacking. i had heard many good things about the vmoda crossfade m80, but i wanted to know how their bass compared to that od the audio technicas. i listen to alot of...

anyone...?

hi. i am looking for a headphone that i will use on the bus ride to school. i have sampled the athm50 and they had bass that was perfect for me however the mids were a tad weak. i heard good reviews about the crossfade m80 but i wanted to know how their bass compares to that of the athm50. i...

does it need an amp to sound better than the m-80? i understand this was asked already but its a real pain to navigate through all of these pages for the answer.

how do these compare to the ie7?

Quote: do u use an amp with your 125?    

Quote: i never really took interst in the ms1 because i heard that it is not as aggressive and as fun as a grado    

Quote: thank you. i am very intersted in the 225, however being that they are somewhat high end do they need an amp when coming out of a pc?    

Quote: i have never listned to them but i thought that the dt770 had a recessed midrange- which i do not like at all- and unless their is a sale the hd598 is too far out of my price range. o, i forgot to mention that i am uncomfortable buying used products.    

thank you for the quick reply. the one that interests me the most is the sr80, however i heard that it is only a minor upgrade from the sr60. is their a reason why he didnt post anything about the sr125? i like the grado sound signature alot.

hi, im looking to upgrade from my grado sr60s. i listen to mostly rock but a little bit of rap and pop mixed in. my budget is around $150 but it can be expanded a little if a lower end amp is needed. they will be powered by my pc.

hi, im looking for headphones that will be used for 75% rock and 25% rap. i need them to be closed. my budget is $150 but it can be expanded a little.  i like forward mids and a good amount of bass (similar amount as the ath m50 provides). if their is nothing that is good for both, then...

what is the difference between amped and unamped?

hi, i understand that the re262 is an iem but i heard that it doesn't sound so good unless you have an amp to help power it, if not then let me know so i dont spend the extra money. my budget is $50 but i will expand it a little if a sub-$50 amp is not good enough.

will the amp do anything to bring up the mids and highs to the level of the grado's

hi, i have been doing research around the forum but i couldn't find a satisfying answer. should i get an srh440 or ath m50? i listen to rock music, and it sounds great on the grado sr60 but their was no isolation. so which one sounds the most like the sr60? it will be paired up with a fiio e11 amp.

i think i have made up my mind. i will get the re-272 if the price goes down if not then i will probably get the gro7 or the mc/hf 5. thank you for all of the help

  Quote: thats good to know about the re-272s because if i do expand my price range a little then i know that i will be getting something that will last me. also i listen to a lot of led zepplin  

i looked into the re272 and they are a little too far out of my pricerange, though i would get them if they went under 200

being that the mc5 is so inexpencive compared to the other options, i can also afford to get a headphone amp to go with it. do you think it would be worth it to get a pocket amp such as fiio e5 or e11?

  Quote: that is another problem i have with them being that i have small ear canals.   as for bass i like some bass but i don't like lots of it. the sr60 had a good amount of bass for me.   Quote: all i have for EQ is on my sansa clip+  

so right now this is what the rankings are: 1) gr07 2)hf5 3)re-262 4)triple-fi10   i did not include the klipsch x10 because nobody has recomended that   if their are any more recomendations i would love to hear them.
