    Updated senn hd25 line

    Hey guys i was just doing a bit of window shopping on bh photo video and found out sennheiser just updated their hd25 line with new classic, light and plus models. The light is basically a new hd 25 sp, the classic is meant to be an updated hd 25-1 ii and the plus is meant to be the hd 25-1 ii...

    Review by 'flat bob' on item 'Audio-Technica ATH-M50x'

    Just as a note I bought my pair in the dark green scheme, because the standard black pair I thought i wanted had run out of stock at the store. In hindsight now I think it looks ace compared to the black ones, which some have complained of looking a bit underwhelming against the more...

    Want to know what these iem sound like

    well im writing whilst listening to the sony mdrex15lp. its the replacement for the mdrex10, which if you look it up is something of a gem on head-fi. from what i can tell in the reviews for the mdrex10 they sound roughly similar, i.e.stunning at this price point. Bass is probs most prominent...

    replacement tips for se215

    So in terms of isolation the olives are still king? Do the triple flanges change the sound in any way because of their different seal?

    replacement tips for se215

    Hey everyone   I was wondering how the triple flange sleeves for the shure SEs compare to the foam olives that came standard in the box. Main question - do they isolate more? I know the olives are already impressive in noise isolation but triple flange sleeves normally seem to isolate better...

    hd419/429/439 comparison

    Thanks for the pointers. Bought the hd 439s in the end. Not regretted them so far. They don't get sweaty and they're fun to listen to.

    Are they still comfortable if you have glasses on? I had a miserable experience with the hd 202s because they would clamp the heck out of my poor darling ears with glasses on

    PRESS RELEASE: Sennheiser at IFA 2014 - The Future of Audio

    Hope they'll replace the flimsy cables from the cx300 in the new cx range.

    hd419/429/439 comparison

    Have you had any issues with the thin cable? And do they isolate well in noisy surroundings? I had an issue with my hd 202 ii where the mids would start to scream a bit at higher volumes (while I was on the bus). Would you say the 439s have the same issue?

    hd419/429/439 comparison

    yo everyone   They're selling the low end hd4x9 series at my local store and they look quite tempting. I mostly listen to hip hop and alt r&b, and I've heard the three do decently at the low end. I will be driving them straight off my android phone with poweramp. Got some questions about the...

    Portable on-ear for use on daily commute

    I've been living on IEMs for quite a long time. My only foray into over ears or on ears was the hd 202 from sennheiser, which I didn't really mind at all (I sold that one to a good friend). I have been meaning to get a pair of portable on-ears to replace the hd 202s for quite a while to have a...

    Review by 'flat bob' on item 'Jays t-JAYS Two'

    Bought these headphones as a means to replace my sennheiser cx300-ii,  which was still working at the time so I had a standard to compare the jays to. First thing I realised was that the jays had a bit more bass than the sennheisers - which was something I was looking for back then. Next thing I...

    se215 reliability issues

    Alright thanks. Just needed some confirmation that I wasn't gonna be wasting a 100 bucks on them just to pay for a replacement cable every fortnight or something.

    portable budget amp for use out and about

    Yo everyone   I'm about to get a pair of shure se215s. I'll be running them off my android phone using poweramp. Are there any portable amps out there under a 100 bucks which would be worth my time or is EQing enough for the 215s?

    Maybe I was just panicking cos the "shure se215 IEM issues - cutting out audio?" thread looked a bit sizeable.

    se215 reliability issues

    I'm in the process of purchasing a pair of shure se215s and seen a couple of threads ranting about the cable connection issues and audio cutting out. Getting worried but they seem to be pretty old threads from three years ago. Has shure done anything to fix the problem since or is it still a...

    Review by 'flat bob' on item 'Sony MDREX10LP/BLK In-Ear Headphones'

    I bought these in my early days of earphone obsession when I was a basshead - coming from a pair of House of Marleys which had lots of bloated bass. Didn't really think much of it then due to its flatter bass but love it now I've reformed from my basshead days.   As I said if you want to be...

    shure se215 vs hifiman re 400 for newbie

    Thanks for the reply   What do you mean that you didn't care for it? Plus I know there a lot of good options around the $100 mark. Spent hours scouring all the threads here. Done a bit more reading up since then. I like the fact that the 215s have a replacement cable. Cable seemed to be...

    Yo everyone else   My first post on head fi. I'm a 17 year old living off my allowance and until now have never known the world of headphones outside my local store (which has a **** range). Looking to spend around a hundred dollars and saw all the gushing praise for the re 400 waterline and...
