Hey Guys. I've been browsing around for a little while and I'm having trouble finding a replacement to my Sony MDR 7506 headphones. I found them comfy and decent for isolation, however I'm fully aware that I've probably been missing out on most of music listening experience with them (although...

Hey long time no see. I have been out of the headphone game for a while but I decided to go ahead and buy some decent cans and these AKG k271 mkIIs are pretty sweet sounding. However I have a problem. Even with my Emu 0404 USB dac driving them the volume is just not as much as I would like it. I...

Hello,   I'm going on a couple months buisness trip to Thailand, I ordered a audiotrak dr dac 2 to take with me and have quality sound avaiable at my hotel room.   I m now thinking about a pair of cans, looking at akg k701/702 but I m unsure if the dr dac will be able to power them.  ...

For around $200 (street) that will satisfy me? I have 595's in storage that will be available later this year and have been happy with sonics. Currently have AKG 601's run with a LD I+ and again am happy. Either I listen a little too loudly to my music or others in my dwelling are not happy when...

I'm planning on picking up an Audio-GD NFB-12 and am looking for a good headphone to use with it given my listening situation: - Indoor room otherwise quiet but with urban espressway 50 yards beyond double-paned windows producing traffic noise including occasional horns, clanging, trucks -...

First of all, let it be known that I am indeed looking for headphones to replace my requisite first pair of Grado SR60i, which I have owned for a little over half a year. But in my defense, let it also be known that it is my hope that the ensuing discussion might engender wider appeal than...

AKG K271 MKIIs are only 150 on Amazon if anyone is interested.    http://www.amazon.com/AKG-K271MKII-Closed-Circumaural-Headphones/dp/B0016MOC28/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1293848487&sr=8-3   Anyone know if they play well from iPod and how good are they at rock ?

Lurker here with one of those what should I get threads. As you may have guessed Im at a bind between multiple phones. Now I really want a pair of BDs (heard theyre like clouds on your ears) but have a budget of 200 (found a pair on amazon for 190, dt770/32 if you haven't guessed). The thing...

Anyone has thoughts on which sounds better?

THE ‘MUSIC MAX LT1’ Portable Headphone Amp Hi. I’m writing this review on this little amp as I feel like it might be a solution for other people like me. I love my sound. I love to hear music accurately reproduced. But on the other hand I don’t want to have to spend a fortune or mess...

A couple of days ago I decided to get some decent headphones. Up until now I have never owned anything worth more than 30-40$, most of them in-ear phones. So I started reading reviews, and looking through what Amazon had to offer, and I got more confused than I was when I started :). So I...

I hear they have been making fake headphones these days.....(like dr dre beats)    I was wondering what the best place to buy these headphones would be? 

My budget is 150-200 bucks.....   I want to use headsets for listening to music on the train with my ipod touch....(so must block out some background noise) *like john mayer, jason mraz, jack johnson, and some r and b music***   and I want to listen to it while being hook up to my preamp...

HI guys, i know this is probably a bit of a dumb question as im a complete noob to good head phones, and have only ever used monitors for producing. Im living away from home from a while and am wondering do you guys know which of these two headphones would be better for producing electronic...

Hello there!   I'm pretty new to all this headphones talk and quite frankly, it's confusing me. I was looking for a pair of headphones to use on my computer (Mostly listening to music or talking on skype, not that much gaming) and my MP3 player, which is a Samsung YP-P3. After looking...

I listen to some john mayer, jack johnson, and jason mraz, but there are times I want to listen to some r and b and hip hop.....   ATH-M50 had some really nice nice nice bass, that I found akg lacking....   but for clarity the akg was much better......   Also the size was a big...

I am considering buying a pair of headphones. I'm thinking closed back, low to moderate impedance, around $250.   So far I am looking at AKG 271 mkII and Ultrasone HFI-780.   Any thoughts on these, and/or similar/better choices?   Thanks!

I am leaning towards the denon d1100.....   (light weight, bass is great, close cans, not ugly,)   going to be using it everyday on the train to block out the pan handlers from waking me up....(don't want a woman repellent on my head) , and also going to use it when I plug it up to my...

I've been contemplating getting a decent setup for a while, and finally decided to pull the proverbial trigger.  Sorry for asking a really similar question to a bunch of other threads, but I've browsed through them and still find myself indecisive.   I listen to mostly downtempo or chillout...

I have an opportunity to buy either the AKG K271 mkii for $150 or the Beats by Dre Studio for $175. Both are "Like New". These would be just for some heavy home listening, non-amped at first. Which would you get?

I'm looking for a pair of closed circumaural cans that are comfortable even when wearing them for the better part of a 10 hour shift and have a sound signature that's not too different from my UE TF10.   I will be using them during work - chat-based customer support - where the TF10 are not...

Hey guys and gals   I'm looking to drop $200 USD for a pair of headphones for unamped use connected to a D2 and/or a dedicated PC sound card These will be my first pair of quality headphones. =D The quality of my music is a 20/40/40 split between 192 kbps mp3, 320 kbps mp3 and flac.  ...

My stock AKG K271 cable isn't long enough, at 10 ft, to reach from my headphone amp to my couch, so I plugged the end of the stock cable into an extension cable. However, I'd love to have a single cable solution so I don't have such a long length of cable that I have to wind up after every...

I'm looking for a nice pair of headphones in the $180.00 range for my zune hd. I've looked in to  akg I'm thinking of getting the K272 hd or the akg K271MKII. I found both for a good price on amazon, and overstock.    I"m just not sure if they are the right fit for my taste of music, which...
