The headphones I regretted the most was the skullcandy skullcrusher. I bought them for 100cad from the source.ca It broke after 5 months, the driver stopped working for some weird reason.. I should have bought a decent dac but that was before I joined head-fi. : frown::f rown:

Hi all, I am as new here as in headphones. I was looking for a good pair of cans and reading the forums and being French I ordered the Alessandro MS-1 a week ago so now I am waiting for them. All I got before was some etymotics er-6i and Apple earbuds so I am getting better :rolleyes: My main...

Hi folks,  I'm going to buy the Alessandro ms1  by the end of january, but I'm a little concerned about power. I don't know if my s9 will be able to drive them well enough. I saw the Fiio E5 at 16$ with free worldwide shipping (I live in Europe), but I was thinking about buying the E7, to...

Just wondering if the audio technica ath m50 has a flat sound?

I thought it might be interesting to compare impressions of the treble emphasis on each model - for some, this is the defining characteristic of the Grado line, and for others its their Achilles heel. Personally, I sit somewhere in the middle, but the treble on the 325s still occasionally...

I'm going to keep this simple. I am looking to step it up to some real MAN Over-ear headphones under about 90$. Any earbud suggestions are welcome however...   I have owned: HiFi Man RE0's (EXCELLENT) Koss PortaPro's Klipsch Image s4's Shure se210 (terrible IMHO)   To be used...

Hi Head-Fi!   I've decided to purchase some nice headphones for a little better music-listening experience. I listen mainly to Rock and Metal (Metallica, ACDC, Cheap Trick, Airbourne, The Offspring) but I also ocasionally enjoy some pop (Gaga) and rap (Eminem).   My budget would be...

  So here is my idea…   What I am doing here is a little different but pretty simple.  I am offering my Alessandro MS-1’s to a fellow Head-Fi member at no charge.  I will consider domestic and international members; shipping cost is the only cost.   These Ms-1’s are used, not abused...

I got some brand new HD-555's over here.   Anyone else get anything?

Hello Head-fi, I am quite new in the audiophile community. Currently looking for some headphones that can catch my interest. My current rig are, Headphone : ATH-ES7, Earphone : Fisher Audio Genesis, soundmagic PL-50, Denon c452, Player : Samsung Yp-Q2, Cowon J3, AMP : Go-vibe martini, Corda XXS...

I have the oportunity to buy one of this two headphones... some owns both of them? Which one has more powerful bass?   Would you recommend me another headphones in this style?   thanks!

hi guys,   I have searched the forum and can't seem to get a clear answer on this...are there different versions of the Alessandro MS-PROs ?   I am in the process of getting a MS-PRO, so I have been doing a bit of research.  It seems that there is a so called  MS-PROi or the MS-PRO "i"...

Looking to get some high end Senn's to go with a Music Fidelity V-DAC > Matrix M-Stage amp.   Curious if the HD650s' soundstage is as large, if not larger, than the AD700s.   I can barely listen to my Alessandro MS-1s any longer..... here's their sound: ( me )       ... and here's the...

I made my first major headphone purchase last year with my AD700s and I love them but now I'm in the market again. This time I'm looking for a set of cans that have a contrast to the AD700s. I need them around the same price($100ish) and they need to be able to do well without...

So I got myself some HD555's a while back, as they were recommended for entry level cans. They are pretty neutral and lack in bass, but they are very detailed and soundstage is pretty good. These are cans that I would think are better suited for movies and games than music.   So, my question...

Currently my DAC, the Pro-Ject USB Box DAC, is pretty much nothing but garbage.  It has several issues, which I won't get into here.    However, I had my roommate setup a blind A/B test between the external DAC and my X-Fi Fatalty soundcard, and believe it or not I picked the soundcard as...

I'm looking to buy a $50 to $100 pair of headphones as a gift for someone. Preferably comfortable headphones, and the bass doesn't have to be great. I was thinking the ath-ad700's would be nice. What do you guys think?

Ok to start out I am looking at 1964 Customs and they look ideal for the price being customs. Here's the problem, I am only 16 right now and I am thinking that my ears will still be developing. Will my ears still be changing at this age? If so I am thinking that customs wouldn't be for me...

The first thing to consider will be my setup: Pro-Ject USB Box DAC > Matrix M-Stage.   I find my DAC to bring a very bright sound (random thought: It's still in return policy, could I find a better USB or Optical In DAC in the $175 range that would be better?), and despite the HD650s being...

I know it's a very subjective question but it's Christmas time and I need to give my g/f a wish list...so why not some new cans.   Right now the only thing I have is a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770/80 Pro's off a Little Dot 1+ with NOS Sylvania GB-408A tubes all hooked up to a Keces DA-151 D/A...

I mainly listen to electronic/house music (deadmau5, justice, ronald jenkees!), so I'm looking for a pair of headphones with really PUNCHY bass, and clear mid-range as I play a lot of piano through my computer with m-audio audiophile 2496 soundcard.   I have tried Sennheiser HD-595, and...

Hey everyone, first post here. Anyway I've been bitten by the upgrade bug and am now looking to replace my MS-1s (equivalent of grado SR125?) with a nicer pair of open cans. Budget is about $500 incl. shipping (if necessary) to aus.   I listen to a lot of different music styles, mostly...

Hey, I'm looking to get a pair of full-sze headphones to use. I mainly play music out of my smartphone (droid x), it sounds pretty good on it's own but I'm tired of my old iPod ones. I'm a college student so my music time is split between walking in crowds or studying at the library, so I need...

It's been a while since I've actively looked for some new cans, but so far I've ordered a couple pairs of RP-HXT7 as travel cans and I'm considering the K240S for home use from my new MacBook Air.   From my search results so far on both the RP-HXT7 and K240S, there hasn't been much...

Hi all, I do not know much about headphones and I have been listening to a 5$ headphones till now and I want to upgrade to a decent pair of headphones My budget is around 100$, and I can stretch to at max 115$ if the phones are too good. I use them mostly at home to watch movies and...
