I was looking for the help section, and I thought this was it. I just noticed these were website questions. My apologies. This can be deleted if it's a nuisance.

Thank you for the reply. I was unaware that you get the best sound quality by playing at 100% on windows and controlling the volume with my FiiO.    Thank you again.

This is the most annoying thing. It's only happening on this computer. I'm on windows 8 with a FiiO E10.

Thank you for the reply. Would you recommend changing any other settings for the best results?

I have a question. If I go to playback devices, my E10, properties, then advanced, I have an option for "Default Format". It's currently at "2 channel, 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD quality)". Should I change this? Or leave it how it is?

That's actually what I listen to. I'll definitely consider it.   Edit: one more question. What's the difference between the Focus Pad-a and just the Focus Pads?

Thank you very much, but isn't $40 a little overpriced? Or is that the best I'll find?

I wanted to buy some new pads, and I'm curious which ones you guys would recommend. Also, if someone could link me to a reliable site to buy them from, that'd be much appreciated.

I need overear headphones that either block out sound really well or have active noise cancelling. Price range: $150-$250 Portable I have no amp, but can get one if needed Sound preference: neutral Thank you.

I'd consider in-ear as long as they didn't fall out easily.

I don't know if I'm allowed to bump threads or not, but I'm still looking for a pair of headphones. My apologies if I'm not supposed to.

I like the build of IE2's and Apple's where they sit in your ear rather than pushing them in, and they never fall out. Can anybody recommend headphones with good quality, for rock, between $70-130. I already have a small amp, E6, if needed.

I'm liking the Polk Audio Ultrafocus 8000s. According to the reviews, they have great sound, great active noise cancelling, and they're really comfortable.

Looking for more suggestions.

Does the active noise cancelling work well without music playing?

Anyone?

First off, I apologize if there's a thread for headphone recommendations. I looked at the original thread for them, but it's been closed.   Anyway, I need some headphones mainly for school, but for home too, that I can sit there in silence and hear little to nothing. They don't have to have...

Thank you a lot for the reply. I like the looks of the HiFiMAN HE-400, but they're open back. It's not a huge deal that they are, but I wouldn't be able to use them in school. I actually might get those and keep my HD25's as a portable set. Once again, thanks a lot.

Alright, I posted this in the full-sized headphone section, but I also wouldn't mind if it was portable (NOT IEM's.) so I'm posting it here hoping to get a suggestion. I'm looking to upgrade my HD25-1 II's. I'm looking to spend no more than, (maybe a tiny bit more) $350. I listen to bands such...

I'm looking to upgrade my HD25-1 II's. I'm looking to spend no more than, (maybe a tiny bit more) $350. I listen to bands such as Rise Against and Breaking Benjamin, but also listen to a lot of acoustic songs. I like punchy bass for drums, but I don't want a ton of bass. What would you guys...

I have a friend looking for bass heavy headphones with a price range of $300 including an amplifier. He does not want IEM's, but headphones that are somewhat portable. He listens to a wide variety of music, from dubstep to country. What would you guys recommend? Thanks.

Quote: Could someone answer this one last time? I'm looking for something in the price range of 130-170$ used. Also, I should mention I have a FiiO E6 amplifier.

I'm going to bump this. I need to buy some headphones xD.
