    Closed Headphones under $200

    I have sen hd558 and am looking for a closed set of cans that will have a different sound than the senns. Currently I'm looking at the m50/m50x, hd 380/280 pro, dt770, and k550. I listen to mostly electronic music, and i want slightly better bass than the 558. These headphones will be used...

    My current situation

    So I listen to music almost exclusively on the bus. Currently I use a Fiio e6 and HD 558, which is obviously less than ideal. I can play audio out through the USB port on my phone which is what I've been doing recently, but the DAC I have honestly sounds worse than the headphone jack. So I'm...

    Finally getting real stuff

    So what I've been doing for about a year since i got my 558s is just using a Fiio e6 from my phone. Now, I am looking to give my computer a soundcard or a DAC or something. I'm really not sure on what to buy, but I really don't want to spend more than $100-$150 on the whole thing

    Plantronics BackBeat Pro

    I have the opportunity to buy a pair of plantronics backbeat pros for $100. My current headphones are the sennheiser HD 558. I am wondering if the difference would be noticeable enough to justify the purchase. I currently use my 558s on the bus because I don't own any travel headphones, but...

    Good configuration for use with hd 558

    So I'm using the sennheiser hd 558 right now, but i'm wondering what would be a good configuration (amp, etc) to use with my laptop. It does not need to be a portable setup, because I no longer use my laptop for traveling. I'm still rather new to high quality audio, as you can probably tell. I...

    Good Source to purchase music?

    I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this under, If not could you please redirect me? Anyways I just got the HD 558s and I'm wondering what's a good place to buy music from? Since I've heard that iTunes isn't the highest quality, I haven't bought anything yet. (I'm brand new to...

    Opinions on the new Siberia Elites?

    I don't really understand much about headphones/headsets and their specs, but I'm thinking about getting the Elites for a friend of mine. Are they worth the $200, or is there something better I can get him? He mostly listens to electronic music, and plays fps games, such as counter-strike...

    Do I need an amp?

    I have the sennheiser HD558, I was wondering if I need an amp. My current source is a Lenovo Y510p laptop, and I'm wondering if I can buy an amp for under $40. What is the primary point of an amp in the first place? Just wondering if I need one, and if it's worth spending more money to get a...

    Indecisiveness- ATH M50 or AD700?

    I've narrowed it down to too possible headphones that would suit my needs. I would probably use them on the bus a lot, so I would like to know durability of each set. I would mostly use them for gaming, both competitively and for fun, and then I would also use them for listening to music and...

    High Quality Audio Splitter?

    So I'm going to have sound playing out both my headphones as well as my subwoofer cause I like the 'explosive' feel during movies. I don't want to sacrifice sound quality though. Any ideas? My headphones don't have much bass, and this works well with a random audio splitter I found lying around...

    Good amplifier that will improve bass for Audio Tachnica ATH AD700?

    So I'm thinking about ordering the AD700's, however I'm worried about the low bass. I just started browsing here so, I don't know if anyone else has asked about it yet. I would prefer a mobile amplifier, however I'm fine if i get 'more bang for my buck' for one that isn't portable. I really...
