I'm looking to purchase a new headphone and I'm tempted by the Ultrasone edition 8. It is also expensive but I have no issues with that if it's going to have great quality. Question I have is how much better is the sound quality to something that's lower in price? Is the jump in sound quality...

Hi! First time posting here, long time lurker. I've owned and loved a pair of M50's for a while now, but am looking for a pair of open cans to use at home. I've been looking around, and the two that have caught my attention the most are the AD700's and HD518's. Unfortunately, I've yet to see...

I mostly listen through my PC using Itunes (aac)>dragonfly>o2 amp> to my q701's, I'm just looking for a second headphone to complement them I mostly listen to rock,metal,drums and bass and indie some house( I also enjoy experimental bands)... I really enjoy my q701's for the soundstage clarity...

I will be purchasing a headphone and mainly listen to solo classical piano (and some piano concertos too, but that's not primary).   I am considering the Senn HD598. Would you guys recommend it for this purpose?   What else should I be considering?   Budget is $250.   Any advice...

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

Hi everyone,   I'm really big into trance/vocal trance/chill music and have been researching for the best headphones. People recommend Denons (D5) for Ultrasone (Pro 900) for EDM which is great, but which would be better for vocal trance or are there any other headphones that do a better...

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...

While I enjoy my ATH-A900X a lot, they aren't always the best for all types of music. Now that I've upgraded my source, I feel like I'm getting the very best from these cans, but I know the music well enough to know what I'm missing. Basically, the A900X lack depth in bass, I really like their...

Well I'm sorry for starting another recommendation thread well I was just wondering what the best pair of headphones would be for me. I am an avid classical music listener I also like the bass to be present. I don't have a budget set in stone but I just purchased the monster Ntunes on...

I currently have a Titanium HD and AD700s that I use for gaming, and I love them.  However as everyone knows they are pretty bass light, and I'm looking for a pair of headphones that I'll use for music.  As far as genres go, I listen to all types of rock, and a ton of instrumental stuff from big...

I was hoping for some help in choosing some headphones for a gift. Budget is $100-200 and as it says in the title the user has an Essence STX and listens mainly to Rock with some gaming and TV streaming too.   Any suggestions appreciated.

Hello guys, been a long time lurker of Head-Fi and finally going to take the time to upgrade my headphones, I have a budget of around £120 but that can stretch a little if need be?   If I need to give any more information please let me know.   Many thanks, Luke.

Hey all,   I want a versatile, solid pair of headphones for use with many genres of music, video, some casual gaming, and for playing with electronic drums. They should almost definitely be closed because when playing electronic drums the pads do make a significant amount of background noise...

I´m looking for the most comfortable headphone. A headphone that you can practically use all day long!! A headphone that when you put it in your head you only feel PLEASURE .    Post the headphone you think would win the title of the MOST COMFORTABLE. 

New here!     I want some over-ear headphones for everyday listening. I listen to pretty much every genre of music, but mainly hip hop, rap, and all kinds of electronic music, so I would like some with a good balance, but nice bass. I used to have Beats Pro, but I sold those and later...

dear headfier's, I found my new hobby after listening to my friends 650's. i went on with a big mistake as a first step of mine which was Atrio M5 mg7(A decent pair dont get me wrong but i found the treble to be a bit sharp for me) i do love the bass on these tiny little things though. Now i...

Is there a headphone that has the fantastic soundstage and forward mids of the HD598 but with more bass? The lack of bass will be a big problem for me...

havent seen too much about these guys, but they really took me by surprise.   So, I went into my local best buy to go test drive some AKG 550's.  and I REALLY wanted to like them.  generally they sounded pretty good.  i dont think i had any of the seal issues that were being touted.  the...

Okay, here's my current situation I'm looking for help with.    What I need is a pair of very nice cans that I can preferably amplify and use with computer as well as on the go. Looks are a plus but I won't not buy a pair of amazing head phones because of looks alone. I primarily listen to...

The first headphones I got and my current ones are the Sony Mdrxb500s these are great for like electronic and rap bass heavy stuff but I want to get some more headphones for listening to things like Hard rock Prog rock and bands like Tool My price range is $80 - $130

I am in the market for some new headphones and I'm looking for some suggestions of some headsets or headphone and microphone combos set ups to look in to. I have been watching the forums here off and on and the people here understand quality unlike many of the review on headset I have read on...

So I just purchased a pair of HD 650s from amazon, Will receive them some time next week :) I want to use them with my iPhone/macbook pro, What do I need to buy? A DAC? An amplifier? and i would like to change the cable into something less bulky with a 3.5mm end without losing sound quality...

I just bought a pair of $50 Koss TBSE (like Koss DJ100/200) and I am really surprised at how much I like them.  I am considering buying a better set of headphones ($200-300 if necessary) and would like to get some that have similar sound to the Koss but somewhat better with more detail and...

I'm new to the forums and also in the market for new headphones. My budget is $150-$250. Right now I'm leaning toward getting the Audio Technica M-50, but I need opinions.   I listen to Psychedelic, Classic Rock, Classical, and Oldies. I occasionally listen to Heavy Metal, Rap, Hip-Hop. Some...
