This is kind of a weird comparison in the sense that all the headphones i tested today are kind of for purposes but hey thats all the high end cans Best Buy had out for testing. I had bought the Sony MDR-1A and they are on the way so i went to best buy to see what they had and hopefully had the...

i have been doing a lot of research including looking up posts with similar questions but hard to really get a good idea which way to go with. First a history. I currently own the HD598 ivory cans. My wife has teh ATH-M50X and I also have a pair of Shure E215 buds. I have been using the shure's...

I am looking for a pair of ear buds primarily to be used with an ipad, for movies from netflix and other streaming services.  The following are things I am looking for.   1. Primarily used to watch movies so i need a sound signature that handles movies well 2. I need something that I can...

I'm looking for a good pair of IEM's that i can wear in bed with my ipad and my wife cant hear the noise so she can sleep at night.  I had a pair of Klipsch s2 and they worked great, not the best sounding I've heard but my wife couldn't hear them at all.     I just bought a pair of sony...

I want to thank everyone and this site for their wonderful help in me finding the right headphones for me. I have tried the grado sr80i, athm50, akg 272 and k550, dt770 80ohms. I finally settled on a pair of shure srh840's. I love them, exactly what I wanted, comfortable, detachable cable, no...

So I finally found a place where I could try some headphones out. Tried out the dt770 80s, Shure 840s, and sennheiser hd380. I can say without question the hd380 was the worst, didn't feel comfortable at all and it sounded like a tin can. The biggest surprise came when I tried the dt770s. From...

Ok last time I left off i returned the Grado SR80i because of comfort and sound leakage.  I returned the ATHM50s because of comfort.  Now I am returning the K550 because of fit.  I love the sound of these cans but i cant get them to fit snug on my head for the life of me.  I even tried bending...

Ok I apologize for anyone who told me not to get these but I actually have beef with them for different reasons than what some have said.  I love the Grados SR80i but my wife doesn't lol.  She thinks that they will wake up our little one being that I mainly use them in the room next to his.  To...

Well got my new Grado SR80i's in the mail, had em on for like 5 minutes before deciding to put them on my 19 month old.  Now he loves them and cries when i try to take them off haha.  I think I have a young audiophile in the making :)   Sorry for the awful quality of the photos they were...

So after much debate and reading and mulling over I pulled the trigger.   My parents are buying me headphones for Christmas.  They decided to get me the AKG K272 HD headphones.  At the time on Amazon they were going for 240.  I wasn't aware of this nor was I aware how much they paid.  A few...

I loved hearing the grado sr80s a friend of mine had.  I thought the sound was amazing.  However my wife doesnt like them because she can hear them. So i ended up buying the AKG K271 MKII with a FiiO E07K amp.  Its on the way from amazon but then i got to thinking.  Basically what I use them for...

So this is funny.  My parents want to get me a christmas gift.  They initially bought me the AKG 272 HD for 230 on Amazon.  However they realized it is now 190 so they returned it.  So then they saw there was a deal where you buy the AKG 272 HD with the FIIO E5 amp and a cable for 217.  They...
