    What headphones to artists wear?

    Any idea what headphones professional big-name artists use to produce/listen to their music after they record it? I'm not talking about when they are actually in the process of recording their music in their soundbooth, for that they probably wear closed-cans right?   But afterwards then...

    DT770s vs. AGK K240 - Advice?

    I returned my AT M50s. The highs were just far too exaggerated without enough mids for my taste. I understand how some people might like them, but I really couldn't enjoy the experience.    I currently have DT770s that I am using. I like them unamped from my MacBook and iPod, and really like...

    Quest for best open headphones <200$

                  I currently have M-Audio Q40s and ATH-Pro 700 mk2 and I'm starting to think I've satisfied my inner bass head.

    Advice please... USB DAC/Card/Amp (mainly for AKG K240 Studio and Audio-Technica ATH-M30)

    Hello   Currently I have two headphones: AKG K240S and Audio-Technica ATH-M30 and want to upgrade my onboard Realtek ALC270 which itself claims capability to produce even 24 bit 192 kHz sound. I am guessing that those specifications mean nothing. Is it possible that cheap entry level laptop...

    Are the ath ad700s any good? Please help.

    Just to let everyone know from the start, I'm a complete headphone noob who just needs something to play games and listen to music. I've looked into this particular phone, and am starting to warm up to it. I can get it from amazon warehouse deals, like new, for 70 big ones, instead of the 90...

    AKG K240 studio

    Hey guys, I'm thinking about purchasing these. I don't own a pair of flat(ish) headphones, and I thought I should get these after seeing the good reviews of them. Though, no one has ever mentioned how they sound with metal or industrial, because that's what I listen to.  I thought I maybe could...

    Headphone Days

    Does anyone have days when certain headphones sound better than you remember them ever sounding?    Yesterday was a Grado SR80 day for me. The treble didn't seem as hot as it usually is on the Grado, and everything just seemed lively and perfect.    I wanted to give my ears a break from...

    AKG K240 too quiet? Do I need an amp? A sound card?

    So I just joined the Head-fi forums after reading two buying guides for headphones. I settled on the AKG K240's. I like them, but I get some interesting results, that I'm sure will make sense to someone more experienced than I.   - When I plug them into my android, I get mediocre volume...

    Help! HD518 vs HD558 vs HE-300 vs K701/Q701

    So I've narrowed down my choices of a possible headphone upgrade, but I'm not sure how they stack up against each other. They all fit my criteria of being an open/semi-open circumaural headphone, but I'd like to know which one is "better" than the others. I listen to mostly alternative rock...

    Companion to Ultrasone Pro 900s

    I have the Ultrasone Pro 900s and love them.  I am looking for a good companion headphone to go with them to make up for their shortcomings.   I've owned the Beyer DT770, the Sennheiser PC360, the AD700, and the Denon D7000.   The one I miss the most is the D7000 but they are out of my...

    Looking for a cheap but durable pair for my dad: under $100.

    I recently purchased a pair of Phiaton MS 300 headphones based on a Head-Fi recommendation (which, incidentally, sound great until the plastic breaks next to the cup, both on the original and the replacement pair!). Upon hearing them, my dad, who listens to music constantly, decided to replace...

    Spent the day listening to various headphones around town. 10 cans tested

    So today I had the opportunity to take my iBasso D-Zero and test out a bunch of headphones. I went to the Apple store, Guitar Center and a Best Buy mobile. I'll probably go by best buy and try as many as possible there tomorrow. I tried out: Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro 250 Ohm Monster DNA on-ear...

    Long time listener, first time caller... (take it easy on me!)   I currently present 2 (about to become 3!) shifts on a few community radio stations. On one station I present a music show where I play everything from pop to rock to dance and even the odd oldie in there! On the other station...

    Which Set?

    Ive narrowed my initial search down and these are the models Ive come up with. I'm looking for tonal balance where the mids and highs blend with the bass, but not one area is over powering. Warm sounding, not bright. My budget was around $100. Doesn't need to be exactly portable. Ill be using...
