What's up guys. Just joined.     I had a question. I noticed on the forum everyone's always complaining about Bose. I was wondering, is it because of the quality or is it because of the price point? I do agree they are higher priced than they should be. That being said I bought the...

I have ath-ms50 right now. and i was quite happy with them. but i honestly can't wear them for that long before they start hurting. So im looking to buy another pair of cans. Please let me know what are the most comfortable headphones putting sound quality aside. Price isn't a big issue.

Hello Head-fi community!   Looking for a new portable setup.  I listen to mostly orchestral music (19th/20th century).  At home I run ATH A900 through my computer.  I REALLY like how these cans sound.  They're just a little bit bulky for portable use (cord is way too long to walk around...

I 've lived with AKG k240S, K501,Sens HD600, DT440 Beyer and others but i only kept K501 and DT440. I am more into speakers , i own Harbeth SHL5 and ESL 988, so i am the 'midrage' guy who wants a 'flat' but also musical sound , as i only need the bass to follow in music. I broke the k501 and...

I have been reading head-fi reviews and forums for quite some time now. I am planning on buying full sized headphone around the $100-150 mark.   Here's what I mostly listen to - www.last.fm/user/adityashevade Apart from what is there - I also listen to classical (both western and Indian) a...

Hello, I want to ask a question that, K271 and K272, which is better for classical? Thank you.

Hey guys, I've been Jamming to my M-50's for the last few months and I absolutely love the sound and feel of these things. Right now I'm listening to some Jazz and Orchestra music and I was just wondering if there were headphones on the market with a soundstage that would make the instruments...

Hello,  I'm a new member and i want to congratulate everyone in the forums for their mature answers, and helpful and reliable advices, i've been visitng this site for a while now and I'm glad i found it. (and thanks for not being brainwashed by all the marketing stuff that everyone is into=) )...

Hey i just purchased the new dr dre beats to try them out heard good reviews. At the store they told me they were noise cancelling (which works very well) but they also told me the headphones wouldnt let sound out. I thought this was good for recording purposes because im using them in the...

I'd be very grateful if someone could recommend a headphone for me to buy. I'll make it brief:   Music I listen to: Mainly classical music - usually solo piano and chamber music, sometimes piano concerti and symphonies. I also listen to soft rock and jazz occasionally.   Audio source: I...

They're all in the same price range. I normally use my grado 225s for home listening but I need closed cans for when I'm not at home. I listen to music like porcupine tree, the mars volta, etc. which is quite difficult because it gets quite heavy/aggressive at times but there are also these...

I am surprised nobody has written about these http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/he...e4d/index.html Any thoughts, feelings or suggestions?

Looking for an AMP or DAC/AMP that can be transported in a backpack to and from school.  Prefer battery or USB powered, don't want to have to plug into a wall. Powerful enough for the AKG K271s or K702s (if there is such a beast) Price below 300. That's as much as my wallet can spare at...

Hi HeadRoom Forum,   I'm an assistant editor in the TV and broadcast industry, who's also (and quite excited) to be starting to edit as well.  A long time ago in a land far far away.  I went to film school and asked my sound mixing teacher for headphone recommendations.  I ended up with Sony...

Used to have the Senn HD201's, loved them.   Now looking to buy a new pair of headphones, but I hate the Beats trend because I know there are definitely some headphones out there half the price that are as good if not better than they are.   So can anyone recommend me any?

Hi, I'm looking for some good headphones to wear at work. I'm in an open office space with (disgusting) music/chatter all day long. At home I have a pair of Sennheiser HD600 which I love, but they're open. I have looked at Denon AH-D2000 which seems to offer the sound quality I'm after, but even...

Narrowed choice to these two. Need closed headphone with good isolation for home use. Have adequate power to drive any can. Presently own Senn 580 and Allesandro MS-1 with 580 getting used at least 80% of the time. Listen to 80% classical (of which 50% is orchestral with rest divided between...

I've been considering the AKG K271 but my budget is limited and I don't have an amp. I'll be using them from a clip+ which I understand will not be the greatest at driving these headphones. I've also read that without amping the k271s sounds "veiled". Will it be worth my while buying the Fii0...

Hello, I'm new here and would like some advice concerning headphone amps. I pretty much have no knowledge on the matter, all I know is that my headphones aren't performing at their full potential, and I need a headphone amp to get them there. The problem is, I'm 16 so I don't have enough money...

 iphone 3gs, help! i am desperately trying to get this right! i recently purchased ultrassone hfi780 and akg 271the prado 225i. i will return if not right choice... i havent tried the grado's yet they havent arrived. most of my use will be on my iphone 3gs, and if i need to i have no prob...

Hello all, I think it is time for me to look at a set of full sized headphones.  Up till now I have been using IEM's and have finally figured out that I like natural sounding IEM, after trying a few different sets I found that I really liked the RE0's and then I bought a set of DBA-02's and...

I have akg 271s and was wondering if you can add small amounts of acoustic foam to better insulate your ears from any peripheral sounds? I just want them a bit louder without spending a couple hundred on a good amp. Thanks

so i have sennenheiser 280s that i just got. i really like them. i was wondering how the blu tak mod actually effects sound i have the feeling that it owuld sound like if you cup your hands over the phones. is this true? when i cup my hands over them (with out appling more pressure to my...

Hi My current setup is PC FLAC Files>PS Audio GCHA via USB input>HD800 and most of the time I need to turn the volume control pass the 3 o'clock position to get sufficient volume. Volume control on my PC and media player are at 100%. Is this normal for this amp?  is it my source? or is the amp...

Hey everyone, using the HD 25-1 II as a reference, what would be the next step up? I can't imagine having too much quality time with open headphones so closed is a must. I primarily listen to hip-hop, a good deal of classic rock then a lesser blend of metal, techno, alternative and country...
