    Travel headphones (Over/EAr Velour/Fake Velour/Closed/Travel Case/Smartphone/Replaceable cable)

    I need comfortable travel headphones that don't break the bank. I was looking at the Sennheiser Momentum but $350 New/$230 Refurbished is too much, plus the leather earpads don't instill much confidence. Looks like a headphone that just asks to be broken/stolen. It's always the cheapo headphones...

    Anything better than a Audioegnine A5+ for desk near-field usage?

    So I have been researching near-field 2.0 speakers for desk usage. What is better than the Audio Engine A5+ at the moment? I'm not against an 2.1 setup either.

    Monster Cable doesn't sell replacement cables? What!??!

    What's the meaning behind this? I looked at the entire Monster, Sony, Philips and Beats websites and I can't find anything about replacement cables for any of their headphones. So, if for instance I buy the Monster Diamond Tears headphone and the Android cable breaks or gets bent out of shape...

    Does the outer ear affect sound quality? Full-size better than IEM?

    I've read contradictory reports while researching headphones on whether or not the outer ear affects how we hear music. The gist of these claims say that Over-Ear and On-Ear headphones sound better than IEMs due to coming into influence with the outer-ear before entering the ear canal?   Is...

    What headphones is Paris Hilton wearing?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n_E4sDewtM   To me they look like some custom V-Moda Crossfade LP2s but I'm not sure. Anyone want to take a guess?

    I'm trying to decide between these two (or some other suggestions, like Ultrasone Pro 550, Citiscape Downtown, House of Marley Exodus) for a friend.   These are examples of music he listens to:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7XF3kry_Ck   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9H45weHwR0...

    CKS77 versus WS55 versus HP700?

    Yeah, I'm moving up in the headphone world. My next thread is probably going to be: "V-moda m100 versus Denon 7100?"   So which of these three babies do you suggest are best for general use with emphasis on bass impact as well as movies and games?   I've had quality issues on my less...

    M-Audio Studiophile Q40 - overhyped trash!!!

    - First a Disclaimer:   These are advertised as portable cans, but I assure you, they are not in the slightest sense portable. Even folded up they are quite big. Calling the Q40 portable would be stretching the truth too far.   - End Disclaimer   First of, even though they are large...

    HELP ME!!! M-Audio Q-40 Replacement cables direct links (Amazon/Monoprice?)

    *I know there are threads on this, but they all:   1. seem vague and don't have direct links   2. require some do-it-yourself work.   So I just received the Q40 and I'd like to have replacement cables on hand. I'd like direct links as suggestions, if you please.   I've heard that...

    Possible manufacturing defect: Phillips Citiscape Downtown

    This is my second pair in less than a month. The right earcup has stopped producing sound. I'm returning these to Best Buy and getting my money back. I'm hopping the Q40s are of a better build than these were.

    Can I Pair a Digizoid Zo 2.3 with a Fiio E17?

    The audio ports (both sound card and audio jack) have given out on my pc over time, so I was looking into a portable sound card with a usb connection. There are also no expansion slots for a internal sound card like the Creative Xonar_DG, so that's out of the question. Thing is, can I use the...

    Philips Citiscape Downtown review – Bass!!! Oh God the Bass!!! Oh look, Mids!!!

        I bought the Citiscape Downtown three weeks ago after A/Bing them, the Citiscape Uptown and the Skullcandy Aviators. They cost me $99.99 plus tax at Best Buy. I’m sure I made the right choice.   Packaging:   The headphones are packaged too well. Don’t get any ideas about trying...

    Good headphone that kick/rattling/vibrate?

    I hate to admit it, but I kind of like the way the Skullcandy Skullcrushers vibrate. The actual sound quality is horrible, but I like the feeling when there is a thud in a song, or an explosion in a movie that the actual headphone vibrates and therefore, my head, neck, shoulders feel it. It's a...

    Skullcandy Hesh 2.0 Review - Avoid at all costs.

         I implore anyone who is interested in Skullcandy following the introduction of the Skullcandy Aviators to please be overly cautious when considering buying the Skullcandy Hesh 2.0.  It is quite literary the most uncomfortable and poorly designed headphone I’ve ever had the misfortune of...

    Phillips Citiscape Downtown better than Uptown?

    Don't get me wrong, the Phillips Citiscape Uptown over-ear may be technically the better phone (thus more expensive), I seem to prefer the Downtown. The headband is uniform and rests easily on my head, while the Uptown's headband has ridges and seems to irritate the top of my head. Also, I find...

    Hello, I'm looking at picking up the Denon AHD200 as an entryway into hi-fi sound. The thing is, I know the thing needs an amp to sound it's best.

    Suggestions for small head, unamped and comfortable headphones

      Let me get first introduce myself. I have never owned a full-sized pair of headphones. I've almost always used a pair of in-ear-canal buds. I wear thick-frame glasses.  I also had a massive Ear Infection in my adult life and have had mild/severe Tinnitus ever since. I don't know whether the...
