Hello to all fellow members. This is my first thread and posts.    Recently, after a lot of research, I purchased a pair of AKG K495NC headphones for portable use with my MP3 player, without listerning to them first. I have access to some Sennheiser PX100's and a pair of Beats SoloHD and the...

Hello!   I've been searching far and wide and asked stuff about headphones. Now I feel like this might be just me wanting to get new headphones, for the sake of new headphones. Really I just want sound that I like and can live with for a long while. I don't want to get something new that I...

In your opinion, what pair of headphones do you own that completely blow people out of the water?   If they were new to the audio world, what cans would you try and wow them with?   I'm curious to see everyone's responses, and hopefully there is variety among them

I'm looking for closed back headphones and am deciding between the AKG K550 and the Bose noise cancelling headphones. I listen to music mostly in dorm settings or in loud cafes, so the closed design is appealing to me. The music I tend to listen to most are ambient, electronic, and classical.  I...

I have the option of getting both sets in the title on sale from local stores, but am having a hard time deciding on which one to choose.  I need a comfortable closed-back set for work, and wouldn't mind a little bit of bass.  I mostly listen to indie music, and a lot of it has a rock or folky...

I think both are very good headphones each one with its advantages. At first I found the DT770LE a little more fun. After listening to both several weeks, the impression fades a bit. Then I start to enjoy more the k550, due to its technical superiority. The Beyer works best for a more casual...

Hi to all   I recently(2.5 months ago) acquired AKG K550 headphones,they worked like charm,but today I pluged them,and I was out of my right channel. I suspecetd that there is a break somewhere in cable so tried to rotate cable near chinch and near earpad,but nothing happent,channel was...

since i'be been listening to classical, jazz and stuff like "the carpenters" on headphones like the k701 and ad700. i want to try something different. something more forgiving on bad recordings and genres like electronic, pop, rock ect.. from various recommendations i narrowed it down to the...

What is the difference between these two headphones in term of sound signature, sound stage, bass, highs, etc?

I was going to consider the UE6000s but they don't have replaceable pads so that's out of the question. These will probably be run off of a Fiio E11 and an iPod touch 4g. I've been hearing tons of comfort issues with the A900x and I've got a small head. Are they true. I listen to a bunch of...

Hey guys!  Glad I joined the community...I recently picked up a pair of AKG F550's. I've watched a few reviews on youtube, read posts on this forum and I was sold on them. I got my package today, gave them a listen and they sounded incredible...I just want a little more bass. I returned them...

Hi everyone from a newcomer!   I am willing to buy a set of headphones for gaming and movies and i'm heading for the AKG K550 (or maybe Beyerdynamic MMX 300?). I have a built-in Creative X-FI 2 on my motherboard and will probably buy a real x-fi dedicated soundcard. Do the K550 need an amp...

Hi! I want your advices, I need a pair of headphones to replace my broken Sennheiser HD 202. A need a good all-around headphone for home usage. I'll use them my NAD amplifier. I usually listen to indie rock and electronic. I will also listen to movies and play games.   I'm interested in...

Hi everybody,   I have decided to buy my first on-ear headphones, after having been a regular user of in-ear ones. Then, I've gone to my shop here and been able to compare the beats mixr with a bunch of 50-100€ other ones.   1) I didn't know that on-ear could provide such a good passive...

Hi,   For the last several years, I've tinkered with various full-size speaker setups at home. I've now decided to jump into the world of headphones and am looking for a bit of advice.   In terms of the sound I'm going for, I like systems that are very linear and don't add too much of...

Hi everyone.   Today I received my brand new AKG K550s from Amazon, my very first "Audiophile" headphones. I checked them out immediately and I was blown away by the sound quality, but.. After an hour or so, the top of my head is really sore and starts to hurt. Ignoring it for a few...

Hello. I'm busy trying to decide which headphone is the best option for me. I prefer to carry around full size headphones around my house, but they never leave the house. Therefor isolation is not objective. I listen to a variety of genres, but at the far right end of the spectrum, I listen to...

hi guys, I'm looking for mid-high end headphones I would use to listen to music to pc, (I am also in the process of buying a decent sound card) / movie on TV ... (rarely for ipod / cell). Looking on the internet those that most caught my attention are these 3/4:   - Beyerdynamic Custom One...
