What would you say is the most comfortable, best sounding portable headphones for 150 dollars or less? 200? Would prefer over ear.  I have been looking at a lot of headphones around that price range but many do not get good reviews for comfort.    1. Ultrasone Hfi 580, 780 and pro 550  2...

Hey fellas, I have a pair of Allen & Heath XD-53 that I use to DJ with occasionally; I only mix a party here and there while I mix in my bedroom a few times a week. Unfortunately, they aren't very comfortable after about 30 minutes of continuous use. I just got a new video card and want a more...

Hi, im looking into getting a set of headphones for listening to my ipod and traveling with. I know the full size cans might be a little big to travel with but I will just keep them in a backpack for easy access.I dont really want the open cans even though I think I would really enjoy listening...

Just what the title says. Do the Allen & Heath XD 53 require an amp? Just plugged into my laptop there ain't no bass in these suckers. Would an amp improve this?

I currently own a pair of AKG K271's but they're too big to wear in public (they look ridiculous) and I'm looking at the Allen Heath Xone XD-53's. I'm a drummer which would be the primary use of my headphones, and the AKG's did not stay on my head at all. My price range is around 150$ (I can get...

I have these cans for at least two years now and I can confidently say that I would NOT buy another pair. Here is the downlow on these cans.   Build Quality- 9/10 I have had these headphones for 2 years and have had absolutely no issues with them becoming loose or breaking in any way...

Hi everyone,   I am a long time lurker and bought my last pair of headphones through lots of research on here. Thank you so much for being a fountain of knowledge!   I currently own a pair of Ultrasone HFI 780 which I use via a cheap Fiio E5 running through a 5th Gen iPod and HTC...

Tried my friend's Allen & Heath Xone XD53 dj headphones and realized how much better music sounded and now I'm set on buying some new ones.     I was looking at the audio technica M30, Samson SR850 and the Jvc rx700 and rx900 mainly. Also thinking about the M40fs and possibly the m50...

i have bought a good amount of headphones so far and have read reviews on this site for all these headphones for the most part and have used this site often in making choices for headphones now im stuck with a long list of phones and decided to finally make a post to get opinions on which would...

Hello, all! I'm looking for great headphones for dubstep. I'm talking super bassy bass. I love the level of bass beats have, but they're way too expensive and over priced. On-ear prefered. Thank you for any help! I was looking at the sol republic tracks. Are they good for dubstep? My friend has...

Well I have been hearing lots of different choices of different bass headphones. I am a Newbie at this stuff so I need a little advice and help on which to choose from. I was looking for headphones that are great for electronic music as stated in the title that could be used for Portable devices...

I have a $120 budget so I'm looking on Amazon. I found the Audio Technica M50s's but they have a V shaped signature which I don't like. I also saw the Sony MDR-XB700's but someone said it's lacking on the mids and highs.   Things I'm looking for: - Design/build   - I would prefer a black...

I can't find anywhere frequency responce graphs. Do you know where I could find any? I wan't the flatter one. Sorry for my English...

After using IEMs for more than 4 years I have decided that I would like to have a set of over-ear headphones as well.  Now if that was the extent of my dilemma, I would just go with the ATH-M50s; however recently I have gotten into mixing and producing electronic music and would like to perform...

Hey,   This is my first post here so I don't know about any rules etc and I have tried to search about this topic and found nothing (on the entire web in fact) so I decided this is the right place to discuss it.   I ordered a pair of Xone XD-53's from a dealer my Uncle knows while I am...

Hello, i'm new in this area of expertise and i'm focused on getting some good equipment for my portable MP3 player/Computer/Stereo. I know this is quite a long thread but bear with me, i'm a audio-virgin upgrading from 20$ earbuds (english ain't me native language).   I did some thorough...

I just got some HD 558 that I modded using the 598 mod and I'm happy with them for general use. I use them for everything currently but I'm now looking for some proper mid-range bass headphones that work great for hip hop, electronic music (mainly IDM and trance). Other reason I need closed...

Hey guys,   I'm new to this forum, but I've been a lurker for ages. lol. Just recently got the Fiio E11 amp and it's great. It really helps to bring out the potential in my headphones. I do have a quick question though.   Was wondering whether the High/Low Gain settings have an actual...

Hey, so I've been looking to replace my old MDR-v700s that my roommate stepped on with a better set.  I've been looking at the Xone: XD-53s because I've heard good things about them previously, and then through searching similar headphones I came across the Pro700Mk2s.  Has anyone had any...

         I've been searching for a pair of headphones for a few days now and I'm stuck. I'm looking for headphones with great sound quality (nice bass); I will be mixing/mastering my own music on these (mostly dance/dubstep/electronic). Isolation is also important, I want something that can...

  So, i have had the Allen & Heath XD-53 for quite a while. They're good and all, but I'm looking for an upgrade. I love detail and clarity (with a nice bassline to accompany it, of course) The XD-53 deffinitly have the bass, but i know they could get MUCH more detailed (since, they are "dj"...

Hey all.  I'm looking for a good quality pair of cans for around 200-400 dollars.  They will be used for DJing in clubs, and also for daily listening.  I listen to primarily liquid drum and bass, drum and bass, dubstep, beat mix-tapes (i.e. gramatik), hip hop, and experimental electronic (i.e...

  ok, so after asking around and researching on head-fi, i've decided to (slowly) convert my library in 16/44.1 flac and have decided on the audio technica pro 700 (+ fiio e11). but then i realised that the pro700 is known to break after a few weeks of use. there is two other models of...

Im looking for big, feel-able bass (I assume this is where the xb1000 will shine). I listen to a lot of bass heavy genres; especially in the electronic dance music spectrum. However, more bass is only good if it doesnt sacrifice too much of the rest of the sound. That being said, Im looking for...
