I am nowhere close to being an audiophile. But I DO know what good sound is.   Why do people go around with these crappy apple earbuds? Or these skullcandy's, beats by dre etc. Just why? I mean, as a head-fi member I can't stop myself from trying to talk some of my friends into trying some...

Hello Everyone   first post and topic on a forum. A bit rude, but randomly posting some stuff i know nothing about is a lot worse... right?   Annyway to the topic.   I am looking for a good set of all round(gaming,music,video) headphones with a loud bass. I use them at home and on...

So some of you recommended me the es7's. Well did some research and found these AKG's though I wanted to know how they compare with their Highs, mids, and lows. And if the Es-7's are the superior, then where can I get some legitimate ones in the $110 range? Only reason I'm holding back on the...

Background: Hello Head-Fi! Since I bought my AKG K702, I pretty much sold off all my headphones that were worth selling, and pretty much have only used the K702 at hom (I use the Portapros and KSC75 for travel). However, I missed having a pair of closed headphones (the M50's were my favorite...

My son asked for a pair of beats for Christmas.  I was a bit shocked by the price and then reading a bit it seems like they're way overpriced for the money (the Bose of headphones maybe?).  So we had a talk about quality and value vs. style and what's "in".  He is onboard for a less expensive...
