EDIT: Actually the thread is perhaps a misnomer. I'm not upgrading at all, but looking for a replacement.   I was lucky enough to own these once, but they died an untimely death. I loved the sound signature and the price point, but wondering if there is something similar on the market at a...

I've had my AD700s for about two years now, but now I seem to be having wiring issues so that I have to constantly fiddle with the cable in order to get sound to come out of the right ear. While they still work, this is very annoying and it's time to upgrade/get something new. I've always had a...

I managed to be a dumb@$$ and lose my Zune 80 and AH-C551 in one go, yay me.    I've been thinking I should upgrade for a while, but fortunately, upgradeitis is vaccinated by pennilessness.  But even such a state succumbs to the dire straits of no longer having a player nor IEMs (I surely...

I'm trying to find some good cans for my friend in the UK. These are his criteria/preferences: Quote: Circumaural & closed for around the house. No amp. Mostly used on PC, but also stereo & other bits. Last model was sennheiser HD205s (yep, that cheap), liked them a lot, they're just...

My friend is looking for a set of cans in this price range. He listens to mostly rock (metalcore and punk in particular) with some electronica (techno, trance, dubstep). I recommended him the AD700s because I have them and love them and have a reasonably similar taste in music. Anything else in...

The Klipsch Image X10s seem to be the earphones for me, but the price recently skyrocketed and has me looking at the cheaper Custom 3s instead. Which ones should I get? I listen to music across the spectrum, but my favorite genres are indie, pop punk, death metal, and underground hip hop...

I love these Denons, but I've got upgradeitis. Looking for a suitable upgrade with a similar sound signature up to the $300 range, preferably $200 and below, though. Thanks.

I just got my Audio Technica ATH-A700s in the mail today. I've only listened to them for about an hour now, and they sound great from out of the box, but the problem is how much sound they're leaking! I thought I had stepped into some twilight zone because I was always under the impression...

1. A cheap CMoy (too n00bish to know anything about the OPamp or any of that technical stuff) is my only amp. Will my Super.Fi 3s or incoming ATH-A700s improve from using it? 2. What sort of cable do I need to use an amp? If you need to know what source I'm using, I don't have an iPod...

This is my first time buying headphones (aside from the crappy ones I've bought in the past before I discovered post-entry level SQ with the Creative EP 630s and currently the Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 3s). I am quite fond of IEMs, but I want a good set of cans because I sometimes tire of the...
