Hey Everyone, I'm trying to compare the Shure SRH 940 to the Audio Technica ATH 900. Here's what I'm looking for: I am looking for a closed or noise canceling headphone system that is good for mainly jazz but won't torch the few songs of classic/modern rock that I have in my library. I DO...

Hey Everyone, I've decided to take a vote for the best jazz cans. I'm trying to figure out which ones would be the best to buy for my specific use of them. Here's the gist of what I'm looking for:   I am looking for a closed or noise canceling headphone system that is good for mainly jazz...

They still work but the frame/structure of them are pretty bad. I was using rubber bands to hold them together so I can use them but its annoying to keep messing with them and they don't get close enough to my ears. I tried to RMA them, I had them for less than a year actually. They wanted $140...

Those of you who found the dt 770's to have too much bass and/or treble what headphone did you end up buying instead?

The title says most. I am wondering, what you would get, if you were me. The budget is around 350 dollars, and alternatively I can get my money back on my new dt-880, which would get me approximately 350 dollars extra.   I would really like a CIEM, but i am only 17, so i guess it would be...

Hey guys, I've had some audio technica a900's for quite a while now. They finally broke (my fault) and I'm looking for something to replace them. I've heard a lot about the m50's, and they sound like a pretty solid choice for 100$. I'm just wondering if this would be a significant step down from...

I plan to buy my first pair of good headphones this year. I listen most of classical music (symphony most of time) and easy music. I don't want to spend too much on it but can reach $300. Not sure if HD 449, 518, 598 or AKG K518. Thanks for help. 

Hey head-fi! I am a budding audiophile that is using a Onkyo HT-R3330 AV receiver as an amp. However, I am upgrading my ath A900's, and would also like to get rid of my receiver. Could anyone tell me it is any good, or any better, than a 100-300$ amp? I was planning to get the Q701's or HD...

My friend who plays acoustic guitar wants a pair of sond MDR-X10's with the reason that beats vocals sound underwater-like (Finally someone gets it). I warned him saying that MDR-X10s are bassy too, and are also underwater-like. He doesn't like swampy bass, but he also can stand anemic bass...

I currently have the Sony MDR-7506 and the Grado SR80i.  I love both of these headphones but I am now starting to see the limitations of them both.  I love the fact that they both have a flat response and provide an accurate reproduction of what the artist intended the music to sound like.  ...

Let's start with the pursuit: ever since I first came to Head-Fi, I've always been looking for a closed portable headphone that I could use at work. So in the interest of tracing history I'll go back to the beginning and explain why I tossed out each one I ran into: - Senn PX 200...

of the 2, which is generally the better headphone?   im looking for something with strong, controlled bass, up front mids, and detailed highs.  would like it as detailed as possible.  listen to a lot of rock, indie, pop, acoustic, progressive metal, with sprinkles of rap.  also would like it...

I've gotten to demo quite a few cans, and was curious what might be considered an "upgrade" from the 840's. So far, I have gotten to sample the K701's, DT770's, AD2000's, and the HD598's; all of which I found to be slightly less desirable than the 940's

As the title says, what are the closed headphones (I need some for tracking vocals) that sound closest to my beloved K 702s?

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my thread!   I am currently looking for a nice headset for gaming and music purposes (would also consider headphones with clip on mic). I would mostly be playing MMOs and some FPS games like BF3 on the PC and the music I listen to is mostly from...

Hello, this is my first post on Head-fi. I am here because I love music, I listen to it for hours every day on MOG. I am looking for headphone that will offer a "one and done" solution for listening. I currently own Seinnheiser HD202. I must admit they sound OK, but I want something very...

What do you all suggest for a set of wired headphones for home theatre use? I tried sennheiser wireless and don't like them, not enough for me. So many options, my budget is $200 or so. sennheiser hd598 and hd588. I also am interested in audio technica ath-900a and ath-m50. What would...

I am quite noob with everything related to audio but I have a decent ears and I like quality. I only got two little question for you guys today.     I Got my eyes on the ATH-A900 headphone and X-Fi Titanium HD Sound card as my source and an very nice guy on this forum advised me to get...

My Audio Technica A900 headphones made it five and a half years of pretty much constant daily use (maybe 10-12 hours a day).  But in the last few months the arm holding the ear cup to the band has failed on both sides so I think it's time to retire them.  I wanted to try something new, and have...

Here's what I'm looking for and perhaps you all can steer me in the right direction. 1) If I'm watching movies/games I would like some form of surround (virtual/real). So that if I'm gaming, I'd like to be able to tell if someone is behind me. 2) I need them to be portable. I plan on using...

Hi. While I don't post, I've been lurking here for a long time now. I'm looking for good quality headphones for watching movies and listening to music.   I have a Sennheiser HD202, and I don't like it that much. The ear cover is now worn out, and it feels really uncomfortable. It doesn't...

Hello Head-Fiers, I currently own a pair of Audio Technica ATH AD-700's and am looking for an upgrade as I need closed headphones and some bass. I was thinking of getting the Audio Technica ATH-A900's for ~$190  I would like the Sennheiser HD 598's but they are open backed, sadly. Do you...

Hello,   ATH-A900s were my first decent headphones which I still use but they're old and I'm considering replacing them with something better (nothing crazy expensive though). What I'm looking at right now is the HE-400 which seems to be reasonably priced and is getting good reviews. Would you...

Ok so ive only just begun getting into higher quality audio. I picked up a pair of ATH-A900s the other day and ive been letting them burn in but I feel the bass is a tad bit lower than I was hoping. I am pairing the headphones with a X-Fi Titanium HD sound card, I mainly game and listen to...

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...
