Hi all, First time poster, ( joined 5 minutes ago) Which headphones out of these 3 should I get? I'm getting one of these + Samson sr850 ( 1 open, 1 closed) My uses will be as follows: 80% gaming 20% music Music such as ed sheeran, the script, mumphord and sons, eminem, b.o.b and others...

Hi, I'm looking to get some closed back headphones for a friend. They're for someone who listens pop and country music, isn't too big on bass (so something that isn't considered overly "bassy" would be preferred), and enjoys vocals (usually female, sometimes male). Good isolation is a definite...

Hey there!   Got my Audio Technica's for 6 years already, so i need a replacement.   I'm not hep to anything regarding headphones these days, so are there any better headphones than ATH-A500 in the same price range out there? ($130-180)   I'm listening to music and watching movies...

Hello!   I'm looking for some "good" around-ear headphones somewhere in the $100-$250 range. I was originally looking at the ATH-AD700s, but started getting second thoughts recently. I've been getting a lot of mixed reviews about them, and I'm a little afraid to purchase them and be...

Heyo,   I only recently started looking into what I've come to think of as "real" headphones, after seeing so many people suggest brands I'd never even heard of.  Right now I own a Razer Carcharias, with which I've not really noticed too many problems; however, with all the people praising...

Heya,     First off, i hope this is the right Sub- forum to ask for advice, if not, then my apologies.   So recently i decided to replace my crappy onboard- soundcard and 30€ Headset with something good.   I purchased a Asus DX from Amazone aswell as a Audio Technica ATH A700...

Hey guys,   The last few days I am tyrannizing myself over picking the right pair of phones for the job. I will try to be be concise. The qualities that we're looking for are:   1) Portability. They will be listened to on buses, at the library, maybe while biking etc. and carried...

So I've been looking around this forum as well as reading reviews on some over ear cans, and I've come down to a small list and would like some opinions. First off my price range is around $200, and I don't have an amp to drive any headphones, but I'm perfectly fine with buying one if need...

Hey all,   For the past week or so I've been on Head-fi trying to get recommendations for various different headphones for under 300.    The users of Head-Fi were nice enough to give me several suggestions, and today I was able to get myself down to Bay and Bloor Radio in Toronto to test...

I just broke my HD 280 pro's and I would like to upgrade to a better 'phone at a higher pricepoint.  I was looking at Sennheiser's HD 598's, but I was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations for headphones ~$200?

After doing a lot of research about a year ago I settled on the Ultrasone HFI 680, which have been great. I replaced the stock earpads with velour which improved comfort quite a lot. I use them for music and gaming on my computer. However I am now looking to buy a pair of open cans to get more...

HI, im brand new to this forum, but I have a question for those "in the know". I currently own the Audio Technica ATH A700 headphones, and to me they sound excellent. Of course I bought them years ago, long before I knew what to look for in headphones, and figured they must be good if they were...

hello head-fi,   got tired of my hd201 and felt a need to upgrade my cans, i searched for a decent product for under 200$ and i stumbled on the ATH AD700. iv'e been hearing that they have amazing soundstage for the price and that almost bought me but my heart belongs to alt-rock and bassy...

I listen to absolutely everything, with an emphasis on progressive metal, folk/indie, electronica, and post rock (basically I need something that can handle everything very well, as I'm pretty picky when it comes to sound) I've never bought a pair of audiophile quality headphones, but I've owned...

Alright so I currently am deciding between three Sennheiser headphones: the Hd 380, Hd 558 and Hd 595. I will be using the headphones for my electric drums a lot but also will use them for my computer and Ipod. I know the 380's are the best choice for a musician trying to analyse the sound for...

Greetings all. New to the forum and actual "audiophile"-isem. I know what I enjoy, and maybe I put too much emphasis on brand/looks of equipment. After doing a bit of looking around, I've decided to get the NuForce Icon for it's DAC capabilities. But that's where my direction goes a stray. I...

Why the AKG K271 MKII is an exceptional safe-lab headphone: The Short Version™ Comfortable enough that I can wear them for a long time Isolating enough that you won’t hear the drone around you Ugly enough that they won’t be stolen Cheap enough that they can be stolen Nice looking enough...

Hello Head-Fi'ers!   I have to first preface this post with an enormous thank you to (everyone) here on this site that helped me decide on my MP3 player. After a few weeks of reading reviews, specs, etc, the suggestions found from this site were the most enlightening and detailed I came...

Hi guys, Wondering what is the difference between the AD700 opened and closed. Would also wonder which is better unamp. I like the kind of sound signature frm my ER-6i. Just need a full sized one now. And how does it compares with SR80i??? Thank you!!

Hi guys, been bitten by the I want a new toy bug. Need recommendation for a headphone in the $150~300 range that is closed, over the ear, comfortable (HD580 level), and different in sound signature from my Sennheiser HD 580 and HD280 pro (I'm happy with the HD 580, just want to get something...

Hi, I'm looking for a pair of over the ear headphones for about $150, $175 if they are REALLY nice.  I've been looking at the Bose AE2s but I'm not completely sold on them.  I want ones the are comfy, have great sound quality, and are durable.  Portability isn't a big issue, I'd like ones that...

Hey, this is my first review, like ever, dudes. I usually just read reviews instead of writing them, but I felt like I had write some things about these headphones I bought which contradicts most reviews I've read. Some of the reviews, I read on this site, head-fi, so I'm sending a review back...

http://www.shopaudiotechnica.com/detail/TCL+ATH-AD700   I was thinking about getting this for gaming? And attach a mic to it. But I was wondering since it's open, are people gonna hear it when i listen to music?  Also, is there anything better around that price?

Got my AD700 pad's today courtesy of Audio Technica. Put them on my A700's. Comfort level increased a ton. Bass isn't as punchy, sound mellowed out a lot more and sounds more well balanced imo. I am a happy Head-Fi'er right now.
