Has anyone heard the AKG K242HD. If so what kind of sound signature does it have. How is the bass, mids, treble, soundstage etc. Are they easy to drive? Debating between this and the AD900. Thanks.

I'm looking for a basic mp3 player and I heard the Sansa clip has the best sound quality for a budget mp3 player. Is the sound quality on the newer clip+ the same? Thanks.

My Equation Audio RP-15MC just died on me and I need a new pair (don't want used) of closed headphones. I don't want to spend more than $100 and I have limited experience with closed headphones. A balanced sound without overwhelming bass would be nice. For a reference, I find the PX100...

I'm looking for a new pair of headphones that will give me a full, warm sound that isn't fatiguing. I prefer bass that has good presence but isn't overwhelming and nice forward midrange. I don't want the highs to be emphasized (somewhat rolled off is ok though). My sources are iPod with ZY...

I'm considering buying a pair of these headphones for portable use (already have the AD700 for home use). Does anyone have any opinions on these headphones?

I'm looking for a cheap closed portable headphone (around $50) that has decent isolation and doesn't leak much for when I will be traveling in about 3 weeks. I prefer a smooth warm balanced sound that doesn't emphasize upper mids or treble. I don't want a recessed midrange though some treble...

My brother is looking to get a pair of closed headphones for around $200 for games/movies and all types of music. He prefers a darker/warmer sound with good bass that is still fairly balanced. He narrowed it down to the A900 and DT250. He can get the DT250 for about $50 less than the A900 so he...

I need help deciding on my first CD players and Ive narrowed it down to these 3 models. Im leaning toward the Marantz CD5001 since I can get it for $200 less than the other 2. Would there be a major difference between these players? If it helps im looking for the most neutral player.

Im looking for a portable amp/DAC combo to go with my grados and AD700. Would this amp match these headphones well?

I currently have a Sony D-NF430 walkman and it doesnt have a line out. Would connecting a portable amp to the headphone out make any difference in sound quality or would it be a waste. If so, are there any pcdp currently available (dont want to purchase an older model) with a decent line out or...

I currently have the AD700 and am looking to upgrade sometime in the next month or two. Ive narrowed it down the the Audio Technica AD2000 and Alessandro MS-Pro. I listen to all types of music about 70% rock and 30% everything else. I would also occasionally use them for games and movies...

I just ordered the Audio Technica AD700 from newegg.com for $103.99. I purchased them to replace my Sennheiser HD555. They should arrive by Monday at the latest so I will let you know what I think of them as well as how they compare to the Sennheiser HD555 and Grado SR60 when they arrive. I cant...

I am wondering how the ad700 or ad900 are for rock music. Ive already tried grados and they were too harsh for me. I also have the hd555, whick are ok but im looking for something more exciting. Thanks.

Im going to be buying the ad700 soon because i want to change from my hd555. Are there any open AKG or beyerdynamic headphones I should consider in the price range. Thanks.

I currently own the hd555 and was wondering if there are any open headphones under $200 with a larger soundstage that can run well without a amp.

My friend is trying to find a good cheap pair of headphones and is deciding between these two. He had the Sony mdr-v150 and liked them but accidently broke them. Does anyone know how much better the Senn eh150are?

I was just comparing my hd555 to my 5.1 system and the sound quality difference is amazing, especially music. My home theater system sounds very tinny and hollow now. The soundstage and directional cues are of course much better on my 5.1 system but the sound quality is a lot worse. I need to...

I just bought the hd 555 from ebay for $106 shipped (I wanted the 595 but dont have the money). I currently have the Grado SR60 and my ears hurt after about 15 minutes even on low volume levels. After looking around the forums I thought the hd 555 would be a good choice for a new pair of...

Hi. I am looking for a new pair of open headphones for around $100. I will not be using an amp and mostly using them from a portable CD player or computer. I want a pair that is good for any music genre and has a decent soundstage for movies or games. I am thinking about the Senn h555. Is this a...
