First things first, money aint no thang'! So I'm looking for headphones that accurately tells me where gunshots come from by sound. By this i mean they should have freaking amazing surround sound.   The reason i need closed back is because im going to be using it on LAN parties,   Thanks

If you've heard these two cans, which do you think is best? (The Beyers are 32 ohm).   I will be using them strictly for gaming, and am looking for decent bass and sound stage. I have heard that the 990s have sibilant highs, but this is hopefully toned down with the use of Dolby Headphone.  ...

So why is this "Japan imported" headphone cheaper? Is the quality the same with normal ath a900x? Is there any cons buying these?

Hi, I'm new to the scene here. Saw a decent deal on the ATH-A900X, and got one shipping out to me soon. I'm upgrading from HD 201's so hopefully it should be a nice upgrade. My question is, do I need to buy anything else to get the full effect? I have a Razer Barracuda AC 1 audio card, would...

I'm tempted to swap out my current ATH-A900X (Velour pads) headphones for the ATH-A900XLTD or ATH-W1000X. The price is the same. Anyone have any ideas on how those two headphones (A900XLTD & W1000X) would compare to each other?

Hello everyone.   I'm currently using A-T A900X with a zalman microphone. I am happy with my A900X but i am not happy with the quality of my microphone and i don't find it comfortable so i am planning to get a new headset.   I checked beyerdynamic's website and it has a ''New'' tag for MMX...

Hello. I am wanting a great pair of over the ear headphones specifically for music but I will use for gaming/movies. Some noise isolation would be awesome. Thing is I'd like to not spend more than 200 (I'm only 17 with no job lol). Thanks!

I am looking to upgrade from my ATH A900X and I don't know where to turn. If anyone wants to recommend a non-Audio Technica headphone that's perfectly fine too, but I'm just comfortable with ADT. Can anyone tell me if the ATH-W1000x is good enough (better than the A900X) to justify a purchase...

Hello alll,   I am quite new here.Hope all doing good and had a great weekend..I am looking for a portable amp for my ATH-a900X.. I saw good reviews for SMSL sAp-4s. Can some one put some light on it? Also I can see in some china stores and ebay selling the newer 2013 model called  SMSL...

Hey all I have a pair of Audio Technica ATH A900X's and I was wanting to know, what is the best amp under 300$ to pair with these cans that you know of?   Any suggestions are welcome, I have never really gotten into the Amp side of things yet, and I was also wondering does it really make that...

Looking to upgrade soon from my ath m50, what do you guys suggest?

Looking at a pair of DT 770s (the 250 Ohm / pro version) to use mainly on my desktop PC. Right now I don't have an amp/dac, but I do have a soundcard -- unfortunately it does not have a headphone amplifier. I was looking at the STX.. Thoughts?

I have every headphone I've ever wanted. An airy headphone (q701), a balanced closed back (q701), an orthodynamic (t50rp), an aesthetic portable (mdr1rmk2). But now that I want bass, the XB500 is nowhere to be found in Toronto, Canada. I really want to avoid online orders because I have over...

What are the best headphones under 300$ for rock/rap?

i've never experienced more of a headache and frustration than trying to shop for amps/dacs, i have searched the forums and read a bunch of threads but i'm still lost. any help is extremely, greatly appreciated! current headphones=audio-technica a900x / audio-technica ad700 / sennheiser hd600...

For as long as I've been on head-fi, I've seen Head-Fi'ers totally disregard how any headphone looks.  I on the other hand value a headphone that looks good, since I'd like to be able to sometimes share my interest in audio with others, and because I'd like to like how a can looks.  They can...

  Around 250$-300$, what would be best for Progressive Rock/Metal, Jazz, Acoustic, Classical? I currently own a Grado SR80 set. For ordering from Israel, the prices would be as follows: hd598 290$ a900x 305$ ad900 275$ q701  324$ etc...   Any absolute best choice for my music...

Hi! Currently, I have an AKG 550 connected to my iMac, a Fiio E10 as DAC and a Little Dot MKIII. Could you suggest me better closed headphones with similar sound/stage?

Well, as title suggest, I'm looking for the holy (affordable) grail of headphones. Current cans are HD280 pro, yes, you can laugh at me, these are my first "real" headphones, I've had them over 2 years now. Now please don't suggest something like the Senns HD800, because I'm still just a...

Hi, I am looking for a pair of headphones for around $200. I know skullcandy is hated on these forums, but the mixmasters look really nice, and have a lot of features. Open to anything though. Maybe Senn. HD 25-I ii.

Currently use my audio technica ATH-A900x headphones with the onboard sound card (Realtek ALC892). I use the onboard since my Xonar DX broke.   I'd like to get a pair of speakers mainly for music, tv, movies and possibly some light gaming.  I really like my 900X headphones and will likely use...

Well... My M50s are deteriorating (the pads are cracked as I don't know what and the headband is looking really rough), but the drivers work fine. This wouldn't be a problem if the wiring didn't get screwed up on it due to me accidentally applying force on the sides of it while the plug was...

Hey all, First time posting here, but I've spent a bit of time lurking and reading the basic guide for buying headphones. After some research and some deal searching, I decided on a pair of ATH-A900X's, which have been really great so far, however I've noticed that on deep piano songs, for...

So as many of you know who have experienced the ATH A900x, the wing design is kind of limiting due to the fact that it doesn't really fit people with small or narrow heads for example my girlfriend, where the headphones will just slide down the sides of her face.  A simple fix is to simply get a...

Ive always loved my grados but when it came time to upgrade i tried fischer audio FA-011s.  I had read they are like grados with bass, which i find not true at all.  Grados are bright and forward, i find the FA-011 Darker and with gobs of bass.  I want something in the middle, I like the bass...
