Hello everyone,   I'm looking for a pair of  over ear headphones for around 300$ (I'll be buying in € but whatever). This will be my first pair of headphones so I can't tell you what characteristics I like. After reading similar threads and reviews I've narrowed it down to these: AKG...

Edit: please close, found the recommendation thread. Sorry for the trouble guys

Hello, so I'm buying a present for my friend that would be a pair of headphones. I'm looking for decent priced (up to 200$), balanced headphones. He mainly listnes to folklore, classical, sometimes rap, a bit of rock (not much though). So he isnt woompy boompy bass fan. What kind of headphones...

so i have the chance of a cheap T70P , i have the K550 and the bass level is fine for me. I have read that the T70P is bright as well, i enjoy the MF100 , is it brighter than that?

Hi friends, I want to buy  headphones that can blow my mind. I have 300"$ to spend and i want  headphones that are good for listening to music at home or on streets, to mix and sound checking because I am planing to study to be an audio technician, so i need something that suits me for that life...

Hello Head-Fi!   I'm kind of new to this kind of thing so first off I'll tell how I got here: A year ago I heard about the Beats hype and I was sold. I was used to budget headphones and earbuds in the 20 euros price range and was convinced that Beats by Dr Dre was the best option out...

Hi I this is my second post here. Hope I do it better this time. I am a noob hearer, looking for a some headphones. I live abroad so, I can't physically try much before buying, and we also don't have the option of returning them, unless of course its faulty. I have tried the Bose Q15 for a few...

Ok as stated in title I have a budget of around £180 to buy new headphones. All of my headphone experience is mainly IEMs. Currently using either Phonak 232 or AKG K3003. My only real experience of full size headphones are my Shure 440, I like them but would like to go up a level or 2. My...

Hi everyone! looking to replace a pair of Sennheiser HD558. Those are ok but a litte too dark sounding for me. Plus I want a close-back head phone this time, and a replaceable cord. Primarily I'd listen to these at home, through a TEAC UD-H01 dac, Onkyo TX-8050, and Onkyo C-7030. I'd mostly be...

So after I learned a little more about what I want, I decided to revise the OP.   EDIT: Comfort is paramount because I listen to music all day. I want to know the options for amplified and unamplified. Over ear, open or closed is fine, as long as it sounds really good. On ear isn't an...

Looking for a $300 pair of closed/semi-closed headphones that sound great without an amplifier. Some features I'm looking for are   Amp-less: I will be driving these out of a laptop/portable media player. I don't plan on purchasing an amp soon so scalability is not an issue for me. I'd just...

I know there are countless posts of this question even a few from me so i apologize but i just don't know when to pull the trigger! But,  I just want more peoples opinions one more time before i do end up buying a new pair of headphones. I already own M-audio q40s to be my bassy headphones...

Hi,   I posted in the advice thread but it seemed to get overlooked so I though I would try this So I am after some new headphones sometime in the future as I still haven't replaced my last pair which bit the dust. Now to the fun bit, my music tastes: So my main music taste is...

Getting right to the point.   Used for:   -producing music, especially electronic. -listening to music for pleasure (obviously) -gaming (counter strike, horror games, etc.) -closed-back -analog, not USB -as flat as it can get -soundstage not too important, but sure why not...

Hey guys! I'm kinda new here and I'm looking to step into the world of high-end audio to try and see what you guys have all been gloating about!    Since $30 pair of Sennheiser IEM's broke, I guess it's a good excuse to start looking for a nice set of headphones, I'll be looking play some...

i had the AKG k550, but they didn't have "any bass". so I took them back and got the sennheiser HD650. they fit so tight on my head, so I took them back as well. now, I have the AKG k545 and I am so happy with these headphones. they have enough bass. there was a little bump in the upper mid...

I just got the AKG K550 headphones. I was wondering though, did anyone else who got these headphones try swapping out the audio cable for an aftermarket cable? If so, what were the results? Did it sound better, the same, or worse? If better, please post here the name of the brand of cable you...

I am listening to classical music. Iv'e had the K545 and they were absolutely horrible for classical-Muddy, distant sound with no brilliance-As if i am standing outside of the concert hall. After them i got the M40X which has a really nice and accurate sound-But so narrow soundstage that...

I'm considering buying a new pair of headphones but am not sure what to go with. I'm aiming for $100-200. I want closed back but noise canceling isn't necessary.  I listen to mostly electronic music, especially dubstep so something with good powerful bass is best.  Durability has been a problem...

I find my AKG K240 headphones don't block out any outside noise, which becomes frustrating throughout the day, because there's people working on the house next door, there's trains coming by, there's people mowing their lawns etc. I feel like I can hear every detail of sound BESIDES MY MUSIC...

Hi i am seeking a pair of closed headphones for competative gaming. fps games.   Preferences:   Good isolation, gonna use them on lan events.   Good soundstage, i know its better on open then on closed but i want as good i can get. Really need to hear footsteps and details.  ...

Hey Guys and Gals, I'm new to the forum but I have been lurking around Head-Fi for years. I would like to apologize for another "Best Headphone for Under 200$" post I know there a bit cliche but I have yet to find one that fits my situation and needs. I have always like good sounding music. Ever...

I am looking for a sub 250€ headphone. It needs to be available in Italy. I go on the bus everyday so it needs to be comfortable, not leak sound and work very well when the source is an iPhone 4. It doesn't have to have noise cancelling. I listen primarily to Alternative  and rock but sometimes...

Yo bros, I got my Sennheiser 600 for about 1 yr and 4 months now with the Fiio e17+e9 am/dac.  I am very satisfied with it but I wanna get some new headphones, preferably closed headphones this time instead of open ones and under $500.  Is AKG550 a good choice or are there better headphones for...

Hello everyone, First off, I'm obviously new here and while I've read several topics this is my first post. Please bear with my lack of knowledge. I'm looking for over ear headphones, that must be closed back (I'll be using them around other people, sometimes in quiet places, so preventing...
