    Headphones that isolate well around the 100-200+ dollar range?

    So, I live in a pretty crowded neighborhood. I don't usually take my headphones outside with me that much because all the cars and traffic and stuff ruins the immersion of whatever music I'm listening to. So I'm clearly looking for something that isolates well from sound, that's my number one...

    Static electricity is trying to destroy my headphones

    So I was laying on my floor reading my kindle, listening to steve roach, when I was trying to reach something that was a bit out of reach. So I slid on my stomach to get it, but the static electricity fried my headphones. I thought they were busted, sound only came in through one side, unless I...

    Headphones that are audiophile quality, which still block out outside noise?

    I always see my younger brother wearing his beyerdynamic dt 770 headphones. They seem to completely block out all sound around him, because you can yell into his door at the top of his lungs. Unless he is just completely ignoring me (which he might have been doing for all this time), you have to...

    Headphones with good isolation with the sound quality of sennheiser 650?

    I think I have some idea of what I want. I am willing to sacrifice mobility for something I can't carry around with me. I have a magni 2 to power it.   I am just looking for something that sounds really good, which also blocks outside sound, like the people who are always walking around above...

    The next logical step up from the Sony MDR-V6?

    I have been using these headphones as portables for the last couple days since my sennheiser momentum headphones chord broke. I have been really enjoying the sound and feel of the sony mdr-v6. they're on ear but they feel really comfortable for some reason. their sound is balanced yet packs a...

    How do you define which headphones are most "genre specific"?

    Something that often comes up when I'm trying to decide on what headphones to order. I want to the v-moda m-100 right now. I often get the question when I ask what headphones I want to order "what genre of music do you like". I honestly hate this question, because I don't limit myself to just...

    Which replacement cable is best for my Sennheiser Momentum?

    So my cable broke recently on my Sennheiser Momentum headphones. Although I don't really like the headphones and I want to upgrade soon, I don't feel like returning the headphones for half the money I paid for them a year ago. I dunno if I should get the fabric cable or the other cable. My...

    Does anyone know ways of identifying a fake Sennheiser Momentum?

    So I have had these headphones for a year and I wrote a review of them today. I was unimpressed with the build quality and eh about the sound quality. Someone suggested that I check the inside of the headphones for a white sticker with a number on it which you can see...

    My Sennheiser Momentum's chords have crapped out. Tired of these headphones. I want new ones.

    I got the sennheiser momentum headphones less than 2 years ago. Already the chord without volume control broke within the first year. I replaced it with the chord with volume control. It broke just like the last one when I was on the bus today. I use these headphones every day. I'm tired of the...

    How can I prevent my cords from getting destroyed by my office chair?

    I have to replace the cable on my Sennheiser HD650 headphones because it got run over so many times with my chair, now sound only comes through one side of my headphones. Since I have to replace the cord I'm stuck using my Sennheiser 598 headphones (which are honestly still very good). Anyone...

    So these are both the headphones in my price range. I plan on buying an amp and dac, the schiit magni and modi, because those are affordable too. I am used to using sennheiser hd588 headphones with the foam mod, and I just want to upgrade. I listen to a lot of varying types of music from...

    Bose AE2 Appreciation thread

    I give these headphones 5 fricken stars. I have used and adored the Bose AE2 headphones for years. When I say I've used them for years, I mean I've really USED them. I have no doubt that I've used these headphones for thousands of hours. They work for everything. I fall asleep with them on every...

    I don't understand the sennheiser momentum headphones

    I got these headphones with the idea that they were going to be great all around headphones. These were supposed to be the upgrade to my bose headphones; my smelly, 1000s of hours of use, beat up pieces of junk. So now that I'm actually using these, what the hell is the hype all about? They...

    Sennheiser Momentum vs V-Moda M-100

    I purchased the Sennheiser Momentum headphones after being disappointed with the Sennheiser Amperior headphones. While these headphones are nice, I don't think they're everything I'm looking for. I'm curious about the  V-moda M-100, because apparently it has better build quality like the...

    Should I get the sennheiser momentums?

    I recently returned the sennheiser amperior headphones because they were too congested, didn't have enough instrument separation, were too uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time (read my review here http://www.head-fi.org/products/sennheiser-amperior-on-ear-headphones/reviews/9144) and...

    What does it means when people say a headphone is 'not good' for a genre of music?

    Please help me understand what people mean when they say a headphone is 'not good' for a specific genre of music. I'm told the Sennheiser Momentum wouldn't be good for metal music, but relative to what? would the sound alright compared to headphones of a lower cost like my Bose AE2?

    Sennheiser Amperior review/thoughts

    I've owned the Sennheiser Amperior for about a month and a half. I got these headphones for 175 dollars used, and I don't feel they're worth the money for me.Before I begin, I'd like to start off by saying some positive things so I don't come off as just bashing these things. I think they're...

    Should I upgrade from the Amperior to Sennheiser Momentum?

    So I have about 10 days left in my 2 month time frame to return the Sennheiser Amperiors to VMinnovations. I can either return them for a full refund in store credit and pay for the Momentums for 245 dollars (I originally paid 175 for  the amperior). I want to decide if it would be a huge...
