I figured there should be one of these. I'll start! Amazon has AKG 701 (original $539.99) for $279.99

Hello Head-Fi! I know I'm just another one of those uninformed newbies, but I would really, really appreciate it if I could get some suggestions. Thanks in advance.   As the title says: My budget is around $80 - anything lower is fine. I am looking for Portable Headphones - something...

Obviously, directly comparing these two and saying one is better than the other wouldn't be fair to either.  Since they are very different in terms of sound signature, I'm wondering if anyone with experience with both phones (like Skylab...but he's owned everything, lol) can chime in and give me...

Hey there Head-Fi, I need some advice from all you experts out there :D. I'm planning on buying my first (legit) pair of over-the-ear headphones. I'll be in colllege next year so I'm looking for them to be durable but I'll take great care of them. I listen to hip-hop and rockand occasionally a...

My koss spark plugs finally met their final death (after 1.5 years of life and half an year of pure necromancy), and I'm now looking for a good replacement - some other IEMs for outdoor use. I'm using the sansa clip+ mp3 player, and listening mostly to new age, ambient, jazz and metal, so my...

I've been wanting to buy a good headphone for some time. I'm looking for a closed one, with a max price of $300. I want one that sounds good but also look good. The ones i've been interested on are the ATH-M50, the ESW9a and the phiaton ms-400. I like the m50 because it has pretty good reviews...

Here's my situation: I'm leaving for Afghan on Friday and I need a descent set of headphones to take with me. I want something that has good bass, because 95% of my music is rap/hip-hop. I also need something with descent noise cancellation, because I'll be staying about 500yds from an airfield...

how do they compare ? i only care about listening to music at my computer.. mainly hip-hop ... does Ath m50 is worth extra paying over the price of direct re0 ?

Hi guys, I'm looking for a pair of comfortable cans for home listening, preferably at least semi-closed because there's going to be background noise. They have to be VERY comfortable, because I wear glasses and significant pressure aches after a while. Currently I'm using SRH440s unamped, and...

I recieved my LCD-2. I am loving this. It seems that I have ordered 2. Now I could cancel this or you can take my que and not wait for a month. I am not asking for anything. PM if you are interested.

It's finally getting bearable outside in SW Ontario. I'm thinking of bringing my cans on the road but the cable is quite long, 3m. I was wondering if anyone used a cable turtle to solve this and which sized one? The cable seems so thick, I worry if I spin it around something so little it would...

Nor sure if this is legit but I found this. Just felt like sharing.   http://www.7cheapest.com/product_info.php?cPath=266_267&products_id=3617

Good evening,   My pair of SR80i's arrived last week, and from the get-go I noticed something weird with the sound. Originally I figured I was just driving them too loud, and turned the volume down, but the feeling that something was wrong on the right side kept bugging me, so I did some...

I’ve been reviewing my everyday audio gear as of late, and as much as I like the T1’s for their speed and overall precision without overwhelmingly trebly performance, I’ve been feeling generally that they are, well, high-end DT880’s… i.e. a bit antiseptic. They are also really heavy on the head...

Well I was at best buy today, also I'm anti best buy now they totally screwed me charging me a 25$ restocking fee for a never opened item I returned. anyways I was looking for some IEM's the UE7, Klishp Image 2 and S4. Some lady comes up with the beats and says they will blow me away, not...

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...

guys, currently looking at a prospective trade for a pair of akg k601's, would a total airhead by headroom power these fine?   thanks in advance   James

Hi there My name is john and im relativly new at the forums I was planning on getting a pair of grados sr 80i for a sub 100 dolar headphone because i have heard wonders about them, but i wnated to ask a few questions first to someone that owns this headphone( or the grados sr 60 since they...

Hey Head-fi! After my first foray into quality audio was a success, I've been looking into getting a pair of open headphones around the $150 mark to compliment my ATH-M50s. I did some looking around and it seems like my main contender is the 125i, but I've heard some complaints that Grados can...

I originally saw this done by warrior05 way back, who also suggested that I do it eventually, and I have been meaning to do it for some time now, and finally got around to it. I took some pics of the result One original cushion, and one of the DT770 pads cushions, for comparison...

Hi there Headfiers!   I just ordered a pair of HD25-1-IIs and a HiFiMAN HM-601, and since I live in New Zealand, it'll probably take around 2 weeks to arrive, but could take even longer due to the Christmas season, so I was wondering what your opinions on this combo were?   Cheers

The title is pretty self explanatory

So I have been lurking on these boards for awhile now and finally just decided to just ask the experts directly, what are some good cans for my music style. As you can see I like rock, alt, funk, progressive, reggae, chill music for the most part. My budget is around 300 and was thinking about...

Haven't posted in a long while (making the wallpapers for HF was fun) but recently bit the bullet and grabbed the Grado PS1000. After falling in love with the Grado sound, thanks to my 225i's, I couldn't hold back any longer and now I'm in audio bliss. But there's a small problem. Unfortunately...

Apparently we don't have a W1000 appreciation thread... and so I felt I should fix this mistake.     These 'phones are awesome!!     []s Walfredo
