I didn't know where to post this exactly as it's about upgrading my headphones and amp...     I haven't been on here in quite some time, but have recently gotten back into headphone listening and am considering doing some upgrades, but want to see which upgrade path to take.   By...

Hello all,   Based on all the great reviews about the clarity of the Shure 940's I overlooked the comments about build quality and purchased them. I figured that the "cheap plastic" wouldn't be a concern for me since I'm generally easy on my stuff and it had the nice hard case included. Well...

I currently have the Sony MDR-7506 and the Grado SR80i.  I love both of these headphones but I am now starting to see the limitations of them both.  I love the fact that they both have a flat response and provide an accurate reproduction of what the artist intended the music to sound like.  ...

Looking for some closed headphones that are over the ear, VERY comfy, good build quality and dont leak too much sound. Dont mind if they let sound in, but as long as I can listen to them at a decent volume and people dont get too irritated around me, its fine. I listen to mostly electro house...

Hi everyone, well here i am again after all of yall helping me buy the Denon d2000 and suggesting a fiio e11 amp, Thanks!! now i want to buy my wife a decent pair of headphones in the price range of $100, as for her preference, she likes it to be comfortable, not too heavy or too big, not too...

Hi guys, I recently purchased a pair of AKG K 272HS headphones. They arrived today and compared to my Koss Porta Pros they seemed a bit muffled. I understand they are closed vs. open headphones but I'm slightly disappointed.   I do have to set the volume much higher so I was wondering if the...

Hey everyone. I'm new here and in need of advice! Here are my needs for a pair of cans... £250 or under Listen to most music genres. Mainly rock/ classic rock but also acoustic etc. Closed cans Good noise isolation Use with an iPod touch on the go Recommendations would be great. Luke

Hey guys,   I'm looking for some closed headphones to use at work. I would use my MS-1is but they would annoy the hell out of my co-workers. Currently I am using my etymotic IEMs, but they are kinda uncomfortable after an hour or so.   I primarily listen to indie, post and alternative...

Alright im sure there has been a ton of posts on this... but nothing i have found really helps. im looking to buy my first pair of descent headphones somewhwere between 200-300 posibly even $350 if i feel its worth it. i have a fiio e7 amp already. i mostily listen to alternative rock, and rock...

I'm looking to purchase a new headphone and I'm tempted by the Ultrasone edition 8. It is also expensive but I have no issues with that if it's going to have great quality. Question I have is how much better is the sound quality to something that's lower in price? Is the jump in sound quality...

As the title says, what are the closed headphones (I need some for tracking vocals) that sound closest to my beloved K 702s?

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my thread!   I am currently looking for a nice headset for gaming and music purposes (would also consider headphones with clip on mic). I would mostly be playing MMOs and some FPS games like BF3 on the PC and the music I listen to is mostly from...

Hey guyz, i bought the senn hd 518, i just want to know first things done after opening. Any pre listening rituals :P. i know abt burn in  but not in detail.   Also the first impression: Noticed improved performance in gaming, but not much in music, cuz maybe i dont have an audiophile ear...

Hi, my first post here after lurking around for some time.   Well I managed to impulse purchase a Yulong U100 today.... and now I need your help to figure out what headphones to match it with!   My old AKG K-66 has served its purpose long ago. I prefer uncolored sound with a touch of...

Dear everyone!  I've posted this a week ago in "Headphone recommendations", but was dissapointed that I get none replies. I know people are having a very busy time but I am not that patient. :P    So:   What am I looking for? A closed headphone with lots of isolation.    Which...

Simple enough, would you say that the DT 880 PRO would be a good recommendation as someone who loved the DT 990 PRO ?    I've heard people say it sounds same but less bass, but I've also heard people say it sounds quite a bit different after all it is a different headphone entirely.   ...

my laptop is toshiba tecra s5-pts53e i ve ordered from internet headphones akg k 272hd (i ve ordered them because they are closed type and they dont leak sound out like my sennheiser hd 598, i live in a flat with poor sound isolation) now i want to buy a nuforce icon (dac and amplifier) so i...

HI everyone first I want to apologize for my English. I hope it will be readable. I have just purchased a Sennheiser HD 598. Before I bought it I was searching on head-fi and on Google for a direct comparison of Sennheiser HD 598 and AKG K 272 or 240 (which I own). I have found only a few of...

Hello!   I recently started in an a sound design MFA, and I'm here to ask some advice about headphone options.  I've been working with a pair of 40 dollars skullcandys [don't recall the specific name, and i couldn't find them on their website anymore. Regardless, they're consumer quality]...

My Audio Technica A900 headphones made it five and a half years of pretty much constant daily use (maybe 10-12 hours a day).  But in the last few months the arm holding the ear cup to the band has failed on both sides so I think it's time to retire them.  I wanted to try something new, and have...

So the right channel on my ATH-M50's died last night during an online gaming session...guess my sweaty ears finally did them in. The heat and humidity so far this summer has been brutal, plus I tend to sweat more than the average person, which resulted in me constantly having to take off my...

There's just too many apparently good headphones on the market. The more I read review the more I'm lost. I listen to almost everything, tho I'm a bit rock/metal biased. I'm not bass-shy, but I like it tight and controlled rather than booming over everything. I don't know if I like neutrality or...

I don't really mind about the price, I just want your personal opinion about the headphones. I listen to mostly rock. Also let me know if their better with an amp. 

I'm looking for new sealed headphones.  I'm currently using Sennheiser HD 280s, but would like more bass, and find the pleather earpads get uncomfortable during long sessions.  I want good sound, but am willing to compromise some for noise abatement (I'll be using these on planes and in cafes)...

Okay so  I have been in the market for a nice pair of closed headphones for a while and have done a decent amount of research to cut done my choices. I will not be using any amp at all ever, my devices are Hp pavilion, Samsung tab 10.1, and htc evo. My main question is how do the 272s sound un...
