A true Diamond in the rough - Onn Enhanced Bass Professional Dynamic Open Air HiFi   I thought I was finished with full size headphones. Honest I really thought I was just going to just use IEM’s, but a head-fi meet changed all that. One afternoon of listening to Denon AH D7000, Beyerdynamic...

I still can't decide which to buy between these two. Can anyone please tell me their opinion and the headphones' pros and cons? please reply ASAP

On September 20, Audio-Technica announced their latest products in the popular A-series "ART Monitor" linen of full-sized closed headphones, marking the first time in nine years that the company has completely revamped its midrange offerings. The ATH-A500X, ATH-A700X, and ATH-A900X are all said...

I am replacing some aging audiotechnica A900s that I bought around Christmas of 2005.  My source is an Edirol ua-25.   Overall, the A900 was a great headphone and great introduction to the audiophile world.  I have no regrets buying it and have recommended it to other people looking for...

Hi,   This is my first post on this forum. While I am new to this forum I am not new to audio. I am looking into purchasing a tube based headphone amp and came across the Little Dot Mark IV which seems to be a nice amp from what I've read. I am a long time "tube head" and like the many types...

Right now I have Sennheiser PX100's and Sennheiser HD202's and they are nice but I want some real audiophile headphones now... My choices are between: Sony MDR7506 (I've heard they are they best sounding headphones under $200) Amazon.com: Sony MDR7506 Professional Large Diaphragm...

I know this topic has been discussed before here at head-fi but I am looking for some current recommendations for replacement ear pads for my ATH-A900 headphones.  These headphones are about 6 years old and the cheap pleather ear pads are finally falling apart - well, the pleather is tearing and...

Hey! I'm looking for some comfortable closed cans, and have narrowed my choice down to these two: 1. Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm (or maby the 32 Ohm?) 2. AKG K 272 HD I have also considered ATH M50, ATH A700\900 and Sennheiser HD 280 Pro but I have excluded these for now. I'm...

i understand they were designed as an upgrade correct? should i be excited or were the a700s better?

Computer headphones -- probably a good 7-ish years old? Mix of gaming, music, movies, varied but priority is probably gaming. Always use basic headphone mode. What would be a very significant upgrade to this? My only firm requirement is that they are closed cans. Price maybe $200-750 (if really...

I'm trying to find a headphone that has a really clear sound, deep bass, quick and defined treble, large soundstage that sounds 3d, great isolation, 100-200$.   I prefer Audio Technica headphones if it matches the spec I want. 

I am looking for a nice headset setup for gaming on my Xbox 360, PC when Diablo 3 is released (I am mostly a console gamer), occasionally for Movies, and DEFINITELY great for music. As for my requirements, I'm extremely open to suggestions and appreciate any and all input. I am quite close to...

Okay, I have never owned a "nice" pair of over ear headphones, just some 1st gen bose in ears, and at night my girlfriend complains that my tv/music keeps her up so she was going to get me a pair of headphones. So I've done a bunch of reading, and see the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 constantly pop...

Hello All:   Sorry for the longish post, but I would like a little advise and thought I should give a bit of background.  My current setup is a PC laptop running J.River 16, mini cable to RCA into a Little Dot MK III (Voshkod 6ZH1P-EV Driver tubes) and then into my Audio Technicia...

Ok I have done alot of researching and learned alot (or I am pretty sure I have) since I joined this forum to find a headphone. I am a competitive gamer, but I also listen to music like classic rock, and dubstep, rarely movies, and like to be immersed with gaming(CS 1.6/CZ(don't make fun of...

Hi I am new here and yes I know that the under $200 headphone question has been asked a ton. but I looked at the discussions and cant seem to find what I am looking for.   Here is what my wants/ needs are.   Good for trance/dance music and also for movies.   no IEM   I also need...

As a K701 and DT880 fan, I was surprised to read in these forums - repeatedly - about how great the ATH A-900 was. Are they great, or just a great deal? How do they compare to the above mentioned phones? Anything else in the AT line that you'd strongly recommend?

My first jump into decent headphones came with me getting a Asus Essence Xonar ST and a pair of HD555's. I have really enjoyed the step up in fidelity they have given me, and they are great for games and movies as well. Now I am thinking another pair maybe more refined for music would be good...

Hi everybody. I like to replace my SR80i (served me well) & take a leap in the headphones class. My budget is mentioned in the tile. My music taste is mainly rock (all forms of it), a little electric music & jazz. I'd go for an advanced Grados but I found them uncomfortable. Thanks.

Okay so  I have been in the market for a nice pair of closed headphones for a while and have done a decent amount of research to cut done my choices. I will not be using any amp at all ever, my devices are Hp pavilion, Samsung tab 10.1, and htc evo. My main question is how do the 272s sound un...

Well I work in a cubicle environment, and listening to music or watching a movie is what I do 90% of my day, and I've decided that I need some decent sound quality in my life. I listen to quite a bit of hip hop and rock and roll and do enjoy a good bass sound but I don't need to focus my...

ok guys I've decided that my next pair of cans will be Audio Technica. With that outa the way all i have to decide is what model. i know of all the top models (A700, A900, AD900, M50 and the M30 and 20) i want that smooth acoustic sound with poppy plucks and rhythmic strumming on high and low...

Hello, I'm new to the audiophile scene.  For the longest time, I've been stuck with these cheap, $20 pair of Skull Candies, and at this point I'm utterly sick of 'em.  I need a real pair of cans!  There's a couple things I want from them:     - Preferably circumaural, closed-back -...

Hi All:   I figured out how to remove the old pads from my ATH-A900 and orderd a new set from Audio Cubes.  Any hints for getting them back on?  This looks like the tricky part.  I'm guessing you streach the pads over, but then how do you get the edge tucked into the slot all around?  TIA...
