So I'm in the hunt for some audiophile grade headphones to go with my Astro Mixamp. I understand the 880's and the kGGs 701's will need an amp like the fiio e9 to power them so i am prepared to buy the amp if necessary. I am basically trying to figure out which pair of cans would provide me the...

I have been doing some searching, even checked out http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/478568/multi-iem-review-140-iems-compared-meelectronics-cc51-sp51-added-02-03 but I'm still not sure. I'm pretty sure I'm looking for a coloured sound that provides a tight punchy bass with great treble...

Well, I bought a pair of Ad700's for gaming purposes mainly, and I am awestruck the by the quality of a decent pair of phones compared to $20 sonys i had.  But now, like I'm sure many others have, I'm craving more!  I use these for movies, games, music, every use imaginable.  I don't really have...

  Hi!  I own a separates hi-fi setup based on a Marantz CD6000OSE player, Rega Planar 3 TT and Creek Evolution 85W integrated amplifier. I love my setup, but as I mostly listen to music in the evening or at nighttime, I can't always enjoy it fully due to neighbours, etc. Therefore I...

Hey,   Camelcamelcamel just told me that Audio Technica AD900's are $199 on Amazon right now.  If you were looking into buying a pair, I think this is the best price around.  ...

Hi everyone.   Was wondering if there is a specific way that these should be taken apart to be cleaned? The left hand side has a very slight vibrating noise which I've noticed is the same noise made when theres a hair stuck in there, but I can't seem to see any this time. Any help is much...

I am writing here to hopefully get some help finding some comfortable headphones. Due to the lack of good stores in my city I can't really go try the ones I have seen on the internet.    I am not an audiophile and I unfortunately haven't had the chance to get to try high quality headphones...

Hi Guys - I did some searching around and didn't find what I was looking for, but apologies if this has been posted before.     I do music production, mostly electronic very bass-heavy music, so everything under 100hz is really important.  I have a pair of focal monitors and a tannoy sub...

I'm looking for a pair of open circumaural headphones that are efficient enough to be driven from a FiiO E7 (as a DAC), and possibly the FiiO E7/E9 combo in the future. My price range is around USD$200-300. Some examples of what I'm looking for are DT990's, AD900's, K702's etc. I'm making the...

Hey guys, I found this forum when I was looking for an alternative to the HYPED Monster Beats phones. Suggestions to try the Ultrasone HFI-580's kept popping up, I scored a pair, and I'm in LOVE.   Now, I'd like to expand and experiment with some open headphones. I listen to a random mix of...

Greetings gentlemen,   I have been doing some research and haven't been able to find an answer to my specific question, a friend pointed me to these forums saying that this is the place to find the answers i seek. I have searched but couldn't find a previous thread that addresses my question...

I currently do not own any full size headphones---only iems. My current main iem is my fischer audio DBA-02, which I absolutely love. I have always preferred full size headphones to iems, but I have enjoyed the convenience of iems. I am looking for a full-size headphone that has a similar type...

The 'Underrated Headphones' thread uncovered a few DT440 fans, and I'm sure there are others out there.   First up - full disclosure : I sold mine a few months back in a fit of madness, along with most of my kit. I have regretted selling them and the K501 ever since. Even though I was able...

Hello, I posted this same query in the 'DON'T START A NEW THREAD' Thread, but I only got one reponse.  I'm hoping to get a little more input, so here goes:   I am contemplating a new headphone purchase and could use some help.  I currently own Audio Technica ATH-AD700's but am looking for...

Does anyone have any opinions the best heap]dhone choice for mainly jazz combo listening? My budget is $200.. I'm strongly considering Grado 225s, but very open to suggestions from a more experienced audiophile. 

I recently acquired $300 from selling textbooks and wish to purchase a pair of headphones.  As such, what are the best headphones for around $300?    If possible, I would appreciate suggestions that do not require the use of an external amp.   My musical preferences are as follows:  The...

Hi all, I was wondering what would be your answers... If you had a choice between Audio Technica AD900 and AD1000, which would you pick? I know it sounds stupid, but the difference is $90 only!! I have already pushed up myself from AD700 to AD900 which is about $125 dearer; I'm thinking if...

I was looking to pick up a pair of ATH-AD900's from Accessory Jack as right now they are offering a killer price (http://www.accessoryjack.com/Detail.bok?no=309). However, I've never had any interaction with this website and wanted to get some opinions prior to buying. It's such a great deal...

What do you guys think ?   I think there's something about the Stax sound that's captured me, I don't know what it is but its definitely different. I have a bunch of headphones now and a worthy amp. I think at first I was thinking along the lines of just collecting, but now it seems like...

Ok guys I have searched this site a couple times over and am looking for the best gaming headphone. Period. While everyone has their own opinion, I have heard consistently of these three headphones as the top leaders for gaming. I am not necessarily talking about music quality, as these will be...

Here we go, the AD1000 at the house now. They are not mine, I have to thanks iancraig10 for let me borrow his AD1000 Though there are not much positive comments about them in head-fi, since not many people own them, but I always want to hear them, now they are right next to me ATM I don't...

I am after advice and suggestions for alternatives. After an all rounder ~$300 - $400 AU.  Stumbled across the AD900 and it sounds quite good.  Do you think it would be suitable for a range of music from unaccompanied choral to hard rock with everything in between.  I don't listen to hip hop...

what do you guys think I am trying to find the best all around headphone for gaming/music. I have heard that the audio technica headphones do fairly well for gaming and they have a really nice sound stage. I need to know the pro and cons of the open vs closed ear headphones. Is the extra 100...

Hi everybody! (this is my first post, although I've been a silent reader for a little while)   Before everyone screams "search!". I spent literally all day yesterday sorting through dozens of threads. None of the "under $300" threads focused or cared about separation. Many were concerned...
