They finally arrived about an hour ago and first off they are very comfortable, and listening to vlogs on youtube and such they sound great and I notice a lot more detail then I ever have in voices and such, however for music rock anyway they sound a bit.. dull I suppose now I notice my cheapies...

After years of crappy headphones I think it is time I got something better, they will be ran off my computers sound card (reaktek HD audio) and mostly used for rock, metal and gaming. I know about the grados but people say they are extremely uncomfortable and after using my logitech headphones...

I, like many who seem to pass through here, am on a "simple" quest: to replace my old mediocre headphones (in my case, 20-year old on-ear Sony MDR-V400) with an affordable (~$100) higher-quality over-ear (circumaural) headphones to use all day at work. Like everyone, I am trying to find the...

I always used basic 15$ BestBuy headphones. I'm looking for a new pair ~100$.   Good sounding with Guitar (Classic rock to Metal) Sounds good with Acoustic Music, Rock, Metal.   Guitar -> PreAmp -> Mixer -> HeadPhones PC -> Mixer -> HeadPhones.   I hate muddy sound* But I do like...

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD25 1 II right now, and my powerers are a Native Instruments Audio 2 DJ and an NAD 3225PE amp. I'm looking for a pair of good, big headphones for fun, easy, perhaps stupid listening. I can listen to high quality stuff with the Senns, but I also want something to...

It's been a while since I've actively looked for some new cans, but so far I've ordered a couple pairs of RP-HXT7 as travel cans and I'm considering the K240S for home use from my new MacBook Air.   From my search results so far on both the RP-HXT7 and K240S, there hasn't been much...

Hello, I am currently thirteen years old and I have just gotten into the audiophile "territory" if you will, and after an abundant amount of research I have been able to narrow down my ideal options to: Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro's, AKG K702, AKG K240MKII, and the AKG K271MKII. Of these four...

Hello Everyone!   After seeing the site multiple times I decided to finally become part of the Head-fi family. MY question today is more of asking for some recommendations. I'm looking for a full size pair of headphones for my desk while I'm sitting in my dorm room. I would say that I listen...

Thinking of buying some new Akg's now that christmas is coming around again.  After some pretty extensive searching I'v managed to find both the K141 MK II and the k240 S for about 100 bucks.  Which do you think is the better deal?

I'm sorry for not posting very much on the forum anymore. I'll be more active in the coming months.   More importantly; I'm looking to buy headphones about in the 100USD area, and I've become fixed on these. I want something with which I could enjoy definitely electronic music. Right now I...

Hi, I am looking for good or best price/performance ratio for headphone that are below 80usd. Are there any other headphones besides the Beyerdynamic DT235 or the Sony MDR-V6? Thanks!

Just got a pair of the AKG's due to the large number of comments here and elsewhere about their neutrality.    But I can't drive them adequately straight out of a PC.   Impedance is 600 ohms, sensitivity is 88 dB.   My understanding is that the higher the impedance, with a constant...

First, a few words about the K-81. The Head-Fi K-81 appreciation thread made them look as if they were the "headphones for anyone", with a few comments about how they remind scaled-down, less detailed K-240 Studio. Trouble is, the K-81 are very unlike the K-240 Studio. The K-81DJ are just...

hi folks!   i like how my AKG K271 MK II's sound, and they are quite light on my head despite the huge size.  however, i've noticed that my ears get hot and sweaty after a couple of hours.  i'm using the velour pads.   am i doing something wrong?   any suggestions on how to deal with...

Hello I am a fan of the vintage akg cans.  Currently I own a K400, and K240 M.  I would like to know which of the AKG headphones you think are worth looking into aside from the K1000 which I cant afford.  Currently I am looking at the K340, K290, K141, and K241.  I wish I could by them all but I...

I'm looking for a pair of over the ear headphones that have pretty good quality sound for my price range of $40-$100. I am getting these for a friend as a gift so them trying them on prior to purchase most likely would NOT happen. These headphones should be good to go by just plugging in an iPod...

Hello again, head-fi geniuses!   I made a thread before (about a week ago) but wasn't entirely certain on bumping rules, so I just opted to make a new one.  They're not entirely related, anyway :)   Anyhow, to the point.  With suggestions from my last thread, I've narrowed it down to the...

Hi guys, I got an AKG 240 not so long ago for $60 brand new from Amazon. I have it with my fiio E5 mini amp. I like to listen to rock, alternative, some metal and pop, no rap. I also play games and watch movies with them.   Now I'm seeing the Sennheiser HD558 is on sale on amazon for $131...

I'm going to try to take a small step forward   1. Comfort is a big concern for me. I'd like something with velour/comfortable pads that don't get sweaty/sticky/scratchy. I like both Super-Aural or Circumaural (nothing like Grados    2. I'm looking for a open headphone with a half decent...

Hi, I'm looking for a good pair of headphones, hopefully around $150. I'm looking for a pair that will be good for speed metal and country and roughly everything In between. I have been told that sennheiser has a good reputation, but i have also heard that they lack bass. I would also like them...

I'm looking for recommendations and thoughts on some all-around use OPEN headphones for around $100. A little bit more than that is okay. I'm considering the ATH-AD700 and the HD518. How do these two compare, in terms of bass and soundstage and the like? Any other suggestions? I listen to any...

Hi,   I want to get my first pair of real headphones. For now, I only have 100 $ to spend, but maybe in the next days I have 80 $ more. So I divided my choices to two categories. Please choose one from each of the categories that you think is a better choice for me.   Music...
