I'll be working on an audiobook project. The clarity and accuracy of the frequency response range of the spoken voice is what matters most here. I need headphones for tracking (closed-back, or semi-closed, to avoid leakage) and, if possible, to help with mixing too.   Yesterday, I went to...

Hey!   I'm somewhat new to this forum but i think i've posted at the right place.   My current Steelseries Siberia V1 is giving some humming sound from the left driver when playing heavy basslines. Nothing that bothers me when listening to "normal music" but it might get worse. And if...

I'll be buying studio headphones to record audiobooks: a flat, revealing midrange is thus my priority. The headphones should be closed or at least semi-closed, to prevent leakage into the microphone during tracking. I already own a pair of Etymōtic HF5, but they're fidgety to put in and keep in...

After seeing several deals here and there, and several threads of people spotting new headphones deals it would be nice to have it all in one place where it would be easy to find and locate the most recent deals. So if you have any great deals that you feel guilty in not sharing post them here.*...

Hey y'all this is my first post on here, though I've been occasionally lurking for the past month or so.  I currently have a pair of the HD 280, and while I enjoy them, I think I want something better,but I really don't want to spend more than $150 and prefer less than that.  I've noticed the...

  is it worth while to trade in my shure srh750dj headphones for shure srh840 as the 750dj were 129.99 and the shure 840s are on sale for 129.99?   i mostly listen to rock and metal is it a worthwhile investment. i can do an over the counter trade.   hows the durability in the shure...

SO I've been using AKG K172HD's and as my first audiophile headphones I was quite impressed. What I liked about them was the soundstage, they didn't influence the music, and were good on comfort for about 3 hours. What I didn't like though was the bass was very minimal I had to almost always...

I have had my K271 MK II's for about 6 months and I have been overall pleased with them. however, I really wanted an open back over the ear headphone, and at the time of purchase, I could not find a K240 series for the same price. I was thinking the K601's would be a good upgrade. I enjoy the...

hi guys,   I currently own a pair of Sennheiser hd555 and use it with Asus Xonar DX and ipod Video 5g. Well, to give you some background info, I listen to rock (mainly), hard-rock, and some punk-rock - examples: The Cure, U2, Pink Floyd, Rise Against, The Offspring, A.F.I, the smashing...

  Hi Everyone,   I am looking to buy a new full-size headphones and I have been looking between the AKG K271 MKII and the AKG 272HD.  I am have been looking for reviews all over, and I have found some on amazon.com, youtube.com, and various other sites scattered throughout google...

Ok, so my other thread has lead me to this question.. What is the best kind of headphone (cans)  I can buy that can be used for my MP3, iPhone etc that will not need amping, not that it "isnt neccisary" but actually isnt reccomended.   I was looking at the berydynamic sd 770 80 ohm ones, as...

Like I mention in this thread (http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/540138/headphones-with-detachable-wire#post_7284248)   I'm looking for a set of headphones that meet my criteria and I was wondering where the best places to try these products in Montreal? The best buys and future shops here...

I just ordered a pair of AKG K271 MK2 and an Ibasso D6 for use with my Ipod Classic 120gb,  I also picked up the Ibasso Ipod Line out adapter. I am wondering how to properly break in this gear (if i even have to). 

Just got this up on to YouTube.  Should be in HD very soon.  Hope you guys like my unboxing videos.  Please share and comment.  I will have more unboxing videos to come so please subscribe if you like that stuff.  Keep an eye on this thread for my impressions.    ...

I like the headphones but I want a thicker ear pads for it. Perhaps something like the k702? Are there others that will fit?

are there any places that sell the denon d2000 for 200 or under? i live in canada so shipping is generally another 30 from the us   if not can you guys recommend something under 200, im looking for somethign straight from my ipod and i listen to mostly indie folk and rock, alternative...

I've been getting into vintage AKGs lately and they just sound so awesome for their age and current price. However, they all have one major caveat - the comfort. As it stands, every one of the pleather pads I've gotten with the vintage K240s (so far, I've gotten four K240 variants and a K340)...

hy, i am new to this site, i am from romania,...  well in my country the prices are stupid, in fact i was wondering what headphones are the best for rock, from shure 840 and studiophile q40, if they are the same price,... well...  in fact both of them are about 250$, in my country... so...

I just wanted to start this post for a few reasons: 1: A way of saying hi to everyone from a new member and new fan of higher end headphones 2: To gush about all I'm discovering 3: To maybe remind some of you about the rush of discovery    I live in Saskatoon Saskatchewan and quality...

I listen to pretty much everything, but I'd say my focus is mainly on Rock/Metal and female vocals. I have a pair of k702s, but I'm thinking of returning them because I need closed cans for isolation and I'd like a tiny bit more oomph. They have about 200hrs of break in, so not sure how much...

Hey, I'm a newcommer here, and I'm looking into buying a good(ish?) pair of headphones.  I listen to my ipod on the go, size doesn't really matter to me.  I listen to mostly classic rock, zeppelin, pink floyd, acdc, gnr, that kinda stuff.  The low end is important to me, idk why i guess cause i...

I needed to buy a decent closed headphone for music, movie and fps gaming. I bought these two to compare, but decided to keep the AKG K271 and return the Beyer DT770. Here are some of my impressions of the two. My sources: ripped FLAC or purchased MP3 320kbs -> E-MU Tracker Pre (same as...

Hey guys!  I am new to this forum - just joined.  Anyways, I am in a slight predicament here.  I am looking for some new cans (preferabbly closed, or open with very little leak).  I listen to lots of rock, rap, hip hop, metal.  These include guns n roses, eminem, metallica, devil wears prada...
