Can you recommend an open back headphone that will complement the M50? I'm hoping to have several good ones to choose from under $300. So if there is a counterpart to the M50, I'm all ears.. (pun intended) :)

I recently had my awesome ATH-M50 headphones stolen at school and had been wondering what I should get as a replacement. I have been looking for a good overall headphone. I use my headphones mostly for music because of the fact that the ATH-M50's clamp down on the frames of my glasses or I get...

OK. I know there are tons of threads and reviews about $150-200 headphones but there isn't any threads about classical rock and hard rock performances (led zeppelin, guns n roses, the beatles, ac/dc, queen...) So i think the best headphones for $150-200 are ath-m50, HFI-580 and srh-840 but which...

Hello, Currently I'm trying to find a nice pair of headphones for gaming and some sound monitoring.   I enjoy doing YouTube commentaries and live streaming of video games, but I also want to soon begin a podcast. So, I thought it would be nice to finally upgrade from my Turtle Beach X11s...

Hello everybody....it's been a long time since I've posted here (2 years ago was the last time I think). And once again, I'm looking for some advice.   I own (still own since I joined this website years ago) 2 pairs of headphones (over the ear headphones). The AKG K240 MKII and the Ultrasone...

I have combed through the past 5+years of Head-fi posts and have found some great suggestions, of course that leads to more questions. I went to the closest Guitar Center to try out a few phones and wanted to elicit opinions and what might be the best option for me since some of the headphones...

  Is the AKG K550 are an improvement over the AKG K240 MK2?   I love the signature sound of the AKG K240, and if possible improve them without losing their signature sound would be excellent.

Hi guys, I bought this headphone from a local seller but i have doubt if it is fake or original. how to ensure???

Hello head-fi'ers   I was looking for some headphones for my gaming pc ~100 pounds from amazon.co.uk. Im going to be using them 90% of the time for gaming and about 10% for some drum and bass   The two headphones that caught my eye were the AD700 and the akg k240 mk ii. - AD700 seems...

Ok, So I'm new to this forum, but have been a fan of all the advice and suggestions here. Now I have an Issue, I need to get new headphones since the cable on my Skullcandy's gave out. I'm looking for some good headphones that Will play great jazz/classical/acoustic styles of music. I was...

Hello there Head-Fi! I currently have the AKG K518DJ and I like them very much (SQ wise) but they're extremly uncomfterable!!! So I gathered up some cash, and I can get more, and I would like to buy a new pair of headphones that will work well with an iPhone, and connected to a (really good)...

I recently purchased the Fiio E10 (thanks to Digital-Pride for recommending the E10), and I'm quite content with its performance so far.   To my understanding, low-gain is always preferred over high-gain (if the volume is adequate), and that high-gain introduces distortion due to...

Hey guys. I've narrowed my choices to one of these two. Which one do you guys think is best? My music is a wide range. Ranging from bass heavy and detail oriented such as jazz. I keep hearing people also mentioning the DT770 from Beyerdynamic. Whiat do you say? I guess this needs two answers...

Hi,   I purchased a few days ago the AKG K240 mkII, sound much better headphones was before, but not very defined bass and sound's a bit dry. So i need a headphone amplifier for AKG K240 mkII 55ohm, on which amplifiers are recommend?   It's rather not be more expensive than $ 200.

I am new to purchasing full sized cans and i need some help deciding. I own a pair of RE-2 from head direct and i really like the airy and very clear tone it presents. Although not the best clarity the company offers, i really enjoy some of the effects that it creates and I decided to find a...

The title says it all. I have finally decided on 2 headphones, but would like to ask people their opinion on the two. I do realize one is closed and the other is semi-open. There won't be much noise when I listen to them if any at all. A few things to know:   Will not use an amp. Playing...

How do these compare to the K271 MKII? Which is better? I like bass but I also like detail in my music. Bass is important to me but it is also important for me to be able to hear subtleties in music such as the subtleties from jazz. I wanna be able to hear the slightest pin drop

Hello! For a few months ago i bought the Akg k242 hd headphone. And i think they sound ''ok'' I'm pretty disappointed about the sound quality if i shall be honest. And i will note that the Akg k242 hd is my first ''real'' headset i have only tried ''gaming'' headset before so i shouldn't be so...

Does anyone know if the K240 MKII is the same as the K242 HD? And that the only diff is some detachable cable/different ear cushions?   I've tried now HD 595 & DT 990 pro's and both I didn't like comfort-wise, the K242HD looks really nice but I can't find any info about it, so I was...

Time and time again I constantly see Grado headphones being championed here as the quintessential de facto headphone for people who want headphones that are awesome for rock music.....and I read that the reason Grado do so well with rock is because they're a very mid-centric headphone with...

Like the title says could anyone give suggestions? Also are there any custom cables about? Thanx in advance

So after putting it off for a long time, I'm finally ready to throw down the money for a good pair of full-sized headphones. Right now my primaries are my GR07s, which I absolutely love. I love their speedy, controlled, but punchy and full-bodied bass, as well as their overall balance and...

Can someone possibly explain the differences good or bad-I'd appreciate it!!

Hi all, my first post here. I've read all I could find and posted questions about this on Gearslutz, but thought I'd come straight to the source (which was recommended there anyway).   My housing situation dictates that I pretty much have to use my own bedroom for composing/mixing, and my...

I have been using computer speakers, since I stay at home most of the times. Recently, out of no where.. I wanted to buy an headphone really bad. (lol) What would be an average audiophile headphone to buy for around $150? I am planning to use it for couple of years so.. (I really wanted those...
