I have sen hd558 and am looking for a closed set of cans that will have a different sound than the senns. Currently I'm looking at the m50/m50x, hd 380/280 pro, dt770, and k550. I listen to mostly electronic music, and i want slightly better bass than the 558. These headphones will be used...

i have been testing headphones for the entire day...    so...   let's do this in order of what i do remember.... akg... k550 - amazing sound quality and soundstage. sennheiser - hd650 - sounded like it was no improvement over my dj one pro from ultrasone sennheiser hd800 - liked it at...

1. What are the best headphones available right now for under £150? 2. What are the best headphones for EDM? I listen to trance, vocal trance and progessive house mostly. :) 3. Sennheiser HD25-1 II vs Audio Technica ATH-M50x or any other headphones better than these? 4. What amp do you guys...

Hi all, I am looking for advice on a circa £120.00 portable amp/dac for use with Galaxy S3/4 running 4.3. I had a Fiio Eo7K but battery failed. Next Fiio E18 but the Charge out didn't function and it drained S3 battery. Both returned to supplier. Do I get a new E18, (it sounded lovely with...

My main desktop headphones are discontinued ATH-AD700's.   I'm looking for a closed solution with decent sound stage. I'm too used to the 700's.   I'm currently gravitating between the Beyer DT-700 32 ohm, or the Audio-Technica ATH-A900X, leaning slightly towards the A900X. I'm probably...

I've been using my Sennheiser HD201s and a pair of gaming (Creative Fatal1ty) headphones to listen to music for a long time now. I want to upgrade, I guess you could say.   Usually I listen to a variety of genres, though I mainly listen to music which can be rather bass heavy - the type of...

Apologies for creating a new thread, didn't know if the "Looking for advice - post here" thread was still in service, per se. Long story short, I'm looking for a set of headphones to usa almost exclusively at home, and there aren't any places around me that offer any good sets to audition. About...

Hi, i'm new here, thanks for reading me!   I'm looking for the ideal headphones for me, i can't afford not buying the perfect ones haha, i've saved a long time for these so i want to make it count!     I listen to:   Killswitch Engage A Day To Remember Daughtry Bruno Mars  Bullet For...

Unlike past Beats releases these have a pretty good build and a good sound for a portable pair of headphones. (Subjective) Many comments on YouTube and other places on-line are quick to dismiss them based on the brand name. So many negative comments were even made when reviewers had...

Some questions:   1) Would this be the best amp available for my K550 at the $300 price range?   2) Can you plug the O2+ODAC to the wall outlet indefinitely or do I need to remove the plug every xxx hours? (note: I do not plan to move the O2+ODAC. I plan to make it a permanent desktop...

As described I tried a list of full-size, portable headphones and in-ears and I want to share with you guys. I am a bit lazy so I don't want to be the guy who is about to write a thread for hundreds headphones comparison. This thread is more like a Q&A type rather than something heroic. You can...

Which headphone sounds better? I am stuck between the two, and i can't seem to make up my mind...

hi ive bought yesterday nuforce icon dac/headphone amplifier and akg k550 headphones. When i listen to a song via that on the foobar(laptop) , after a few minutes a hum starts instead of the music. I must then turn the dac off, when i turn him on again then the music plays normal 2 or 3...

Hi  I have the B&W P5, but is no  fan of the sound. It's kinda too dark and I don't like the bass at all. I really can't enjoy songs like Smells Like Teen Spirit or Losing my Religion when I use them because of the dark "unpleasant" sound.  So my question is ... how does the P7 sound compared...

whats the current best bang for buck headphones? i need them to be accurate since these will be my main production solution replacing my broken studio monitors. they should be non fatiguing and able to be worn for long studio sessions. sound should not be exaggerated especially when it comes to...

Hi all,   I have a pair of AKG K550's that I really do like. In terms of sound, but also comfort. I haven't measured my 'helmet size', but I think my head runs large. One thing that always struck me on Amazon reviews of the K550s was that a lot of folks were complaining that they were 'too...

Hello.    This is my first post here so im new.   I have this issue when listening to music on my PC with AKG K550, In some parts of certain songs there appears this mild crackling alongside with the music, they are mostly very bass heavy parts always. The sample rate is correct. Tried to...

Aloa, I just want to get the bass what you get on your bassheavy headphones like, vmoda's , pro 900's... But on my Akg K550, i dont know but i tested al of the bassheavy headphones out there out and, the sound is awfull (IMO) I love the sound of my k550s so clean and so flat.. i just want a...

Hi guys   Really new to the head amp stuff so was wondering what exactly do these switches do and  what would be the setting to get the best out of AKG 550 phones ? I have looked at the manual but am failing to understand  the switch section.

First things first, money aint no thang'! So I'm looking for headphones that accurately tells me where gunshots come from by sound. By this i mean they should have freaking amazing surround sound.   The reason i need closed back is because im going to be using it on LAN parties,   Thanks

So, my trusty Beyer DT250-80's that I've used for years are finally starting to go :( and I'm looking for replacements to use in my very non-pro home studio. I do sound design for videogames & when I have time, make IDMish music. I do my critical work on monitors, but being a home studio, lots...

I am looking at the AKG 550's right now but also the sennheiser hd 598's. I know they are very different but I heard the AKG 550's act a lot like open headphones which is what I want. My preferred listening style is a little on the warm end and I do like bass but not too much very tight and...

I've now been reading review after review and comparison after comparison, but am still having trouble deciding on which choice to go for. I'm looking for a new set of headphones in the 200-300$ range (I live in Sweden though, so this is a rough estimate).   Currently, I've limited it down to...

So, like I'm sure many of you, I received some headphones for Christmas, I asked for both the AKG K550s and the Beyer DT-770 pro 80s with the intention of auditioning them and one of them being returned. It actually turns out that both are going back. I spent sometime reading reviews and...

I had a chance to stop by Best Buy yesterday to listen to phones I am considering as over the ear phones. I currently own the Beyerdynamic DT-1350 and love them. I use them at the gym to run and work out on weights. At BBY, I was most interested in hearing the V-Moda M100, but they do not have...
