Hey i asked in that thread but didn't get a response! I'm on the road and my daily headphones just broke, so i need one i can get from a big box retailer

Budget: Under $40 Source: Android Phone, laptop and Xbox one Controller Isolation: Best I can get Public use: only airplanes, so isolation is key here Tonal Balance: Bassy. Don't want harsh treble. Something that could be used for both audiobooks and fantastic drops. Preferred music...

Most likely from my mp3 or phone, it's an m8 if that helps. Alternatively, are there any headphones you could recommend for non-amp usage that would be better than the 500s?

Just came back from CES and after hearing the LCD-3, I want them. Since I can't afford them yet, I'm looking to get more out of my 500s... Specifically more bass would be nice. I'm guessing this will be a result of an amp, as I'm already running 320 quality songs. What's the cheapest and most...

I heard those don't drive well from a phone?

It's starting to seem like I'm pretty picky. Would it be a better bet to just get an amp that I can take along with me? Or are there any other suggestions? Was looking at the MR77x

Do they have those on display in the microsoft store? I tried some VMODAs recently and I think it was them...if so I was not impresed at all

I've tried that, but I just find myself wanting more...

Hi guys, I've had the ATH-PRO700MK2 and the Yamaha Pro 500, both being driven from computer, iPod or HTC M8, and while I like the sound of the MK2 and love the 500, I find myself wanting a little more bass. I know I could get an amp for cheaper than a new pair of cans, but for convenience I...

The one i had my eyes on were th eATH-PRO700MK2, Beyerdynamics Custom Pro One and the Yamaha Pro 500. Are these better in any measurable way?

Well I haven't decided on a budget yet, but likely less than $750. I'll be running it off of a Fiio E17, and I listen to more electronic than anything else but I do enjoy different varieties so I don't want to be limited. I'd like a little more punch, something that can really get my head moving. 

What are your thoughts on the ATH-PRO700MK2, Beyerdynamics Custom Pro One and the Yamaha Pro 500 in comparison?

Just wondering what I should be aiming for for my next pair of cans :)

10ft. Cable... Just saying. Best bet is to hear them both anyways. Good luck!

IEMs give her a headaches, I'm thinking the only way around that may be something custom fit but she was really excited about over ear -"I didn't even know those existed! " :)

I'll add the UE6000 to my short list. Other options are: Koss PRODJ100 Shure SRH440 Phillips CityScape Uptown and if I get lucky and find a great used pair: Sony MDR-V6 UltraSone HFI-580 Sony MDR-XB500 Thoughts?

No dedicated soundcard, all genres, generally driven from ipod and phone. No gaming, and comfort and noise isolation are priority over sound, whether passive or active. Fwiw this is for my sister, not me - 5'4" average sized college student

The Yamaha 500s are in both best bass threads, just fyi. There is someone selling a like new pair for 165 shipped in the classifieds

My personal opinion is that beats are still overpriced by $100. Go for the Yamaha Pro 500s, they have a cool look and slam hard. Did you check the best bass headphones thread? I would see that before making any decision.

Exactly what the title says - looking for a pair of headphones that are under $50 that can plug into computer or laptop and wear for hours without discomfort. Used is fine, closed preferred because of outside sound-preventing qualities Thanks!

Budget - Most of the headphones from the upper-middle range in beginner's guide I've found within priced 3-400 I have found for under $150, either through eBay or craigslist, so I'm more worried about getting good recommendations than price at the moment. Somewhere around that range is good for...

Hello head-fi,   Until recently I had a pair of Bose QC2s which were incredibly comfortable and delivered decent sound quality. I enjoyed the over ear vs on ear feeling, but am not opposed to on-ear if they have good noise insulation and can be worn for long periods comfortably. Those have...

Hi everyone,   I have an older pair of Sharper Image headphones (I know some of you are cringing) which only has the left ear working. I've repaired headphones before that only have one ear working, but this one seems different because although there are some loose wires at the plug, the...
