What about comfort, ear pads and sound leak in the HD5500?, I think that I'll get them because seem the best option that I could find for that price in my country.

I don't like how they look, I was just comparing them with the Sony (I like the Sony's but I don't like the small drivers/on-ear style) The 5800 seems like the same hp but focused on treble so is more balanced but that's not what I want, I want some bassy headphones but without overwhelm A LOT...

Well, driver size affect the headphone type (30mm=on-ear / 50mm=over-ear) so size matter in this case. I've seen some comments in this thread about the HD5500 and some people say that they are V-shaped headphones but not totally unbalanced and you said that the bass affect the other sounds so...

Do you think that they'll do a nice work with EDM?, I mostly listen to trance and house and I'm between the HD5500 and the Sony XB550 but the Takstar seems to have better build quality and bigger drivers (30mm vs 50mm).

Damn, that's a pity because they seem good and comes with extra velourd pads... what about the HD 5500, have you try them?

Does anyone have some info about the Takstar TS-650?.

Ok so, after some reviews I see that some people says that they'll need some power and some others says they'd be ok without amp so I don't know what to do. I want to buy them because they have some nice reviews and they're relatively cheap (Z's recommend them A LOT) but even him doesn't say if...

Well, I said that because I never had some headphones with that "low" sensitivity. I had some Sony's with 24 ohm/102db - 24/100 and my Philips A5 have 16 ohm/105 db so as you can see they are VERY easy to drive and I never tried some like the Retro's, that's why I ask it.

Yep, I know the impedance is low but I want to know about the volume (due to low sensitivity) and if it would be enough to enjoy music and maybe some gaming.

I love the Evo but they're very expensive here (around $90) vs $40 for the Retro so... :dt880smile:

Hi :) I want to know if those headphones will work good in PC/phone without an amp (with decent volume) because they seem to be perfect for what I want but the low sensitivity worries me, that's all. Also, what is the difference between Monoprice Retro / Superlux HD681 / Presonus HD7 in terms...

Thanks for the answer, the 681 seems to have the best sound quality (based on reviews) but the lack of bass is a bad point... On the other side, they seem to be good for gaming too so that's a good point for them compared to the others, at least with the Sony's that are the smaller of them.

Hi, I'm searching for some good cheap headphones and I found these Takstar's but I can't find any reviews about them besides the specs in the official site. Does anyone know/tried them or can provide me some info about how they sound or if an amp is needed?

Yes, build quality in Sony could be a bit plastic but they're resistant. I have the Sony MDR-ZX100 (the cheaper Sony's I guess) that I use usually and after 4 years they still working as new. About the sound, I wouldn't like to overwhelming all the sounds with pure bass and that could be a...

The Sony's seems to be the better of all of them for music with good bass but they're also the more expensives so I don't know if they really worth that. The Philips XH5 seems good too but the only reference that I have for them is the GREQ recommendation and I can't find anything about the...

I'll be very grateful if someone can provide any info about the Takstar TS-650 because I could only find the info in the Takstar official site.

So, I created the post with two doubts and now I have a lot more :beyersmile: Based on my local prices, this is the best that I could find: Superlux HD681 (not the EVO, just the normal version) 50% says that it have good bass and the other 50% says that it's flat... Philips HX5 Sony MDR-XB550...

What about Takstar TS650?, I can barely find some info about them.

Oh ok, now I understand :) Do you think they are better than the Sony or the Superlux?, because the Sony seems to have better specs but I'm afraid that the extra bass feature will "eat" the other frequencies and I never used the Superlux.

What about the normal version of 681 and 668b?, the EVO cost twice :beyersmile:

Hi and thanks for the answer. Sorry for the late answer but I was without internet so I couldn't respond :triportsad: So, you say the Philips HX5 is good (at least for its price), I've been searching for some review of them but I just find some Amazon comments. As I said, I have a pair of A5...

I can't say a budget because prices are extremely overpriced here but around $75. As I said, she uses PC and his phone so there's no need of amp

Bump!

Hi mates! I've been using my Philips A5 to listen to music on some devices (I'm not an "professional" or a pure audiophile, I just love music :)) and I'm very happy with them but now I want to get some "cheap" headphones for my girlfriend. She's just a casual listener but likes music with good...
