So, I am a music producer. I love my Alessandro MS1i, awesome pair. However, they are a *tiny* little bit damaged and are basically driving me nuts with their lovely rattly sounds. (Internal driver damage) Edit: Situation change, they now just don't even work anymore. So that's fun.   So I...

Most of the flagship phones that sound so nice have a Vulcan-mind-meld presentation where you are at one with the sound, a kind of super intimacy. This seems pretty standard, and is mesmerizing, but after a session with one of these, when I get tired of listening, somehow I find it very...

Hello all,   For the past few months I've greatly been enjoying my GR06's and I've decided to get a nice pair of headphones to match. My one problem with the GR06's is that the bass is not really there. I'm really looking for a pair of headphones that have strong, impacting bass but not to the...

Hi everyone,   Currently I own a pair of Blox M2C earphones and a pair of Sennheiser PX-200 II headphones. The first one I generally use outside, the latter one generally in-house.   Generally, I do the following things with it (in descending importancy): - Listening to music from my...

Hey guys,   I'm looking for some closed headphones to use at work. I would use my MS-1is but they would annoy the hell out of my co-workers. Currently I am using my etymotic IEMs, but they are kinda uncomfortable after an hour or so.   I primarily listen to indie, post and alternative...

Here is a story I wrote for my school newspaper Del. Aware. In the article I compare the headphones Beats Studio and Audio Technica ATH-M50 after conducting several blind tests on musicians and audiophiles. Note that due to spacing issues, the article's length is limited, and therefore I could...

Has anyone had the privilege to directly compare each and every headphone in the Grado Prestige Series? If so, which model is your favorite sounding headphone?   I have recently had the opportunity, and I was very surprised to find that I most enjoyed the SR125i. I thought it was slightly...

Hey head fi, Which headphone would be better for customizing. Stuff such as changing the cups, pads, headband, cable or possibly the driver. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking to get a new pair of headphones for my mp3/phone. Now, obviously I like high quality sound so after owning a few skullcandy earbuds that all broke I decided it was time get something serious.    At home I'm currently using AD700, before that I had yamaha rh-5ma. Plus a pretty...

Hello, forum. I'm pretty new around here and I don't have any experience in this forum, so, if this thread is misplaced, feel free to put it where it is supposed to be. Well, here's the thing: I'm thinking to buy some headphones, a good-quality ones actually, and I'm not very familiarized...

I recently ordered the SR60i for testing purposes, to see if I could recommend it to friends with confidence. To my surprise, they sound really great compared to the SR225i and SR325i I have. In fact, I think I even may prefer the SR60i to the SR225i and SR325i. What's going on here!? Has...

Hi, first post in here, but I've been reading a lot of reviews etc recently to choose my first pair of proper headphones. So thanks to everyone who's reviewed and contributed to the site; it's been very helpful!   As a first set of cans I went for the Fanny Wangs 1003 on ear model. Not the...

Hey all,   I've been meaning to get myself my first pair of headphones, but since no headphones are perfect, I am thinking of getting two. Jaben in my country is having a sale, buy one Beyerdynamics DT1350 and get a free Shure SRH 750DJ. That really caught my attention. I like the DT1350...

Alright, so I've been looking around and I've had trouble finding anything that is specific enough for my problem. I've a old ass iPod Classic and a 4th gen iPod Touch, both of which I listen to a silly amount of electronica and alt rock and indie rap on. It's is almost all electronica though...

Hi All,   I thought I'll put up a quick and short comparison of the above two headphones as I owed and own both of those...   I bought the Alessandro MS1i about 4 years ago. I did my research (mainly on this website). My budget was limited at the time so I settled with the MS1i...

I want to get some grados, but im not sure of which one to get? Som prefer the 60i some 80i.   The 80i has a little bit more bass? and the 60i is more neutral?    Have i understood this correctly?

I dont know much about headphone amps or even these nice headphones since this will be my first time purchasing one. Can someone please fill me up to date on the best headphones(closed or open) for rock music like alterbridge, creed, shinedown, digital summer, stereoside, etc. Also when i do buy...

Hi guys .... so ... I've been using the in ear headphones that came with iPhone (i know, don't kill me). I've used them simply due to comfort of having small wires as I listen to music only on the train. I do not walk the streets with music on, or jog, or anything. Just on the train.   Now...

My Husband plays guitar in a metal band and has never owned anything but cheap earbuds.  He has often mentioned buying a good pair of headphones but always ends up spending the money on some other equipment.  So his birthday is coming up and I thought I'd pick him up a pair....   ...I had no...

V-MODA Crossfade LP Metal Headphone Sennheiser HD 439 Headphones   Grado Prestige Series SR80i Stereo Headphone   These three are the ones Ive been looking at, any other suggestions?  I listen to soft rock to metal and everything in between, and I am a bit of a gamer.   Thanks

Whats up! So after seeing the "most over-rated headphone" thread, and the "whats the worst headphone you ever heard" thread, and similar threads in that vein, I had an idea: what about a thread that encourages people to list headphones they feel are under-rated/unknown/real dark horses that...

Hey there head-fiers.  I know this question has been asked to death as I've spent the past week just looking at many many comparisons between the two set of cans but I have some questions that I feel can be answered best by those who own the headphones already since I don't really have the means...

For example:   Rodrigo y Gabriela's new album "Area 52"...   I find this music in some sections to be very, very fast, and with some complex parts.    So, in this album, with the combination of Rodrigo y Gabriela's high emotion energy, and with the addition of an almost salsa-esqe...

Thought I would start a thread where we can talk about our favorite headphones at the moment and what source we use them with.   Here is mine:   Shure SRH-940 with FiiO E11 through iMac headphone output. Thinking of getting a Burson Audio HA-160DS or Musical Fidelity M1 DAC and Musical...

I got these headphones yesterday and boy i have to say i'm pretty impressed! coming off of my creative fatal1ty and sennheiser hd 201's and other cheap headphones these are a huge step up.   Look: The looks are retro which reminds me of something from the 1970s and 80s which i happen to like...
