Yeah I was personally thinking more in the $20 range...

BUMP!   I just received my HFI 580s this past weekend, and I'm looking for the same thing!  Interesting that we were both thinking this at nearly the same time.  The cloth pouch just isn't gonna cut it when it comes to protecting my investment.  This is my first pair of "nice" headphones, so...

Quote: I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this!  I know this is old, but I've been looking at buying the 580s for a while, and I finally "pulled the trigger" myself lol.  But yeah when I originally saw this thread I thought it was a negative reaction to them, and then I realized what...

Thanks to everyone who provided me with suggestions and food for thought.  I actually ended up going with the Ultrasone HFI 580s which I found on Amazon for $120.  Im really looking forward to getting those in and seeing what this hi fi headphone thing is all about.     On a somewhat...

Bahaha.  They even match my school colors!  Fantastic I will definitely take a look at these.

I updated my post on the main Recommendations thread, figured I should have maybe posted there in the first place.  I put some more detail into what I'm looking for since I have a better understanding of what I want now.  If anybody is still looking at this thread feel free to take a look at...

I originally started my own thread, but after finding this, I decided to post my needs here, especially since looking some of my preferences and priorities have changed. I will try to list out everything I am looking for, as well as the priority or emphasis I place on each category.   In...

Quote: I just really dont think I can justify spending any more than $150 on a pair of headphones at this point in time.

Quote: Well the thing is I don't really need a mic.  I really just want it for the sound, and if I need a mic I have a bluetooth earpiece I could just use for the input.  Plus if I'm wearing it around just to listen to music with, I dont want the mic piece dangling around.  Although that...

Quote: Thanks a bunch, I'd certainly appreciate your input.  I'm probably leaning towards closed, but its not like I have any experience to say I like or want one more than the other.

Well I feel that the comfort thing may become an issue with me.  I feel like when I get these, I am going to be using them for extended periods of time, so I certainly want something that is very comfortable.  Some other headphones that have been recommended to me are Audio Technica ATH-M50...

Nobody has anything for me?! Come on guys, the power is out at my work and I'm really bored here.  This is the perfect opportunity to browse headphones right now!

Just wanted to add that I also recently bought a PS Vita, so it would be really great to have something for that as well.  Looking forward to your thoughts!

Alright so I'm new to both this site, and the audio world, so please be aware that my knowledge and familiarity with headphones and audio equipment is very limited.   I have not until recently gotten into listening to music.  I'm a 21 year old college student, who for most of my life has...
