Hey everyone, Haven't been keeping up with headphones for a while as I'm pretty happy with my setups, but I recently bought a pair of Bose QC35's for the office and listen to stuff that most would call "weird" and have an issue with sound leakage. I have recently just been using a cheap pair of...

Hey guys, I have an E07k and I feel it is somewhere around ~5dB boosted in bass with a treble roll off. While fun on some headphones, its ugly on others, I wanted to trade it in for something more neutral. The E17, not E17k, in its few reviews is said to be neutral so I have high hopes for that...

I'm looking for a headphone for commutes with linear or subdued treble and enhanced bass for that very purpose, and its the 380 vs Momentum for me. I like the sound signature of the 380 more but I was wondering how good it was. I know its better than the M50 in clarity, but how about the DT770...

Hey guys, I am thinking of buying one of these, as they are practically the same price refurbished. I want a headphone good for modern rock, and was worried the Amperior would be too sibilant to use for this? Though the Momentum may be too rolled off and dull.

TL;DR: I'm looking for a closed headphone that sounds like the KSC-75 and am sensitive so sibilance. I'm looking at the amperior vs momentum vs dt1350 vs etc.   I'm looking for something entry-level to mid-fi but to give you an idea of how badly I want this, if you say its going to cost me 250...

Hey guys, I'm having lots of trouble getting a headphone that has good isolation, iem or not, that sounds good with my genre's of choice. Practically everything, and everything I own seems to be tuned to RnB and Hip Hop. I love my KSC75/Porta pros and was wondering how these compare to those? In...

I can't find anything that does rock/orchestral music justice, maybe its the insane popularity of Beats/RnB/Hip Hop, but holy god... For rock, my $10-$19 KSC75 demolishes my $25 she3905, $30 TTPOD T1e, $40 JVC s680, and $149 A900x. The only one that gets even close is the $49 Takstar Pro80. The...

As you guys know the KSC 75 has a pretty short shelf life, especially if used as exercise headphones, I'm wondering if the Sportapro may actually be a better overall value if it lasts 2x-3x as long as the KSC 75, which no amazing feat given to how easily the wire on the KSC 75 breaks.

Hey guys, I have the Fiio E07k, and it has an odd quality of bloating the music with too much bass the lower the Gain. This review mirrors the same thing, so its not just in my head: http://www.portablehifi.com/past-and-present-fiio-andes-e07k-portable-headphone-amplifier-review/   I'm using a...

I read a bunch of stuff and still don't understand, and am simply getting flashbacks to university physics. My ATH-A900x were said to be fairly efficient, but they benefited the most from the addition of an amp. Currently I am setup using system volume at 75 and 0db Gain, I use the amp to change...

Hey, I have a Takstar Pro 80, ATH-A900x, and a JVC s680 and even though they are all pretty efficient, I hear you can get notably better sound out of them with a proper DAC + amp.   However, there have been plenty of threads stating how modern Realtek HD cards are better than some dedicated...

To make a simple wave-form I could recreate on my phone in 2 seconds, I spent 2 hours trying to get the same shape on my parametric equalizer with a graphic front end. I use EqualizerAPO for windows, and while the parametric equalizer is incredibly exact, it takes forever to do a simple task...

The last similar thread got derailed, and didn't even get to a conclusion, so I'm starting it up. This includes all the clones of the HM5 and Pro 80's, obviously.     I own the pro-80's and am thinking of buying the HM5's and returning the Pro 80's to amazon. As far as I can tell:   Pro 80...

Just got my Takstar Pro 80 clones and sadly they won't work unless I hold them steady in my laptop with my hand. :(   Its the same jack as the pic below, it looks like the jack in the middle. It originally had a large connector that had to be screwed off revealing the 3.5mm. My other...

Hey, I just have the weirdest predicament and no one seems to know the answer.   In Laptop's control panel, my playback devices include Speakers and Realtek Digital Output. Realtek Audio Manager says they both output via the headphone port, and my headphones are recognized as "Speakers".   ...

Hey guys, I am waiting for some new headphones to arrive and the thought struck me that they might suck without an amp. I'm not sure my specific headphones need them though since they are fairly efficient. I have a KSC75, which I hear does get better with amplification but is obviously just...

Hey guys, I'm looking for my first good pair headphones, and I want them to be closed so they don't leak much, be fairly neutral, and have decent airiness and soundstage, which significantly narrows down what headphones I would be interested in. I listen to mostly rock, classical, and ambient...

I couldn't find very much on this website about this brand, but I see them described as clones of (FAR) more expensive Sennheiser headphones. And I mean Sennheiser phones 3-4x the price. Stumbled upon them in a translated spanish site, where people recommended the JTS over the CAL! and even the...

I am tired of going through so many pairs of headphones only to be disappointed. I have the KSC75, which is great for outdoor exercise, but bad for anything else as it leaks sound and lets all ambient noise in. I now need a solid pair for isolation, over the ear, in ear, it doesn't matter, as...

EDIT: whoops I think I put this in the wrong forum, delete

^Title. I've found having the headphones open to be crucial when jogging because you can hear traffic and, almost as importantly, you can't hear cable thump.   Koss KSC 75 seems to be given high praise for its audio quality, but I'm worried about durability. It obviously is in no way shape or...

Right after I bought it I realized there was a version of the iSport immersions that was 60 bucks, 10 bucks more expensive than the ATH-CKP500. I can still cancel my order. The Monster Immersion's have been described as overly reliant on bass with recessed mids, but others state it has a flat...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some budget exercise headphones. While most people I see get cheapo $7 headphones for exercise and a decent pair for other situations, I feel music is the most important to me during exercise, or on the go in general.    I'm currently torn over in ear vs over ear, in...
