I just moved to the United States for studies and would like to buy portable headphones to use with my computer and media player because I will be at campus all day long. My budget is 200$ and could stretch a bit for something a lot better, I could also give less for something bang for the buck...

  Hello all, I am currently shopping around for some full size headphones and was hoping to get some pointers from the experts. I listen to a range of music from Indie Rock (Arcade Fire, Radio Dept, ect) to electronic stuff  and Rap (M83, James Blake, Daft Punk, The Roots, Das Racist), to the...

I had packed my HD590s away years ago in the mistaken recollection that they were broken, only to realize that they're still working fine -- I just need to buy new earpads for them. I'd been thinking about buying the ATH-AD700 as a replacement open-backed phone because it goes for pretty cheap...

I know this is probably a stupid question but how is the midrange clarity (transparency) of the LCD-2 in comparison to the ATH-ad900? On a scale of 1-20 rank the clarity (transparency) of both.

  Hello again. I’ve haven’t been in the market for headphones for a while, mainly because my wallet hates me, so I'm not up on the latest models, but I may start looking around again. I gave up on IEMs because they irritate my ear canals, but most of the time I have to wear closed-design...

Hi guys, looking for a headphone amp for ath-ad900. Was thinking of getting the asgard at first,but after i read 6moon review, they said that the asgard hum. Since ath-ad900 is open back, and i can't stand hum, so any other recommendations? (does the asgard still hum? if it doesn't then i'd...

right now i currently own the ad700 and i really like the sound of it. but then theres the ad900 that cost up to 3 times ad700's price. is it worth upgrading from ad700 to ad900? is there's a vast improvement from the ad700 to ad900? i read that the ad900 is a more refined version of it...

  I want to buy a pair of headphones within a 150$ budget.     -I will run them through sound card on my PC. -I listen to every genre of music -Should be comfortable for long time   What you think about the AKG K 240 MK II?  or are they any other candidates, more suitable...

I am trying to find the DT 990 Premium 250Ohm for a good price, and am wondering if anyone knows of any resellers or websites that might possibly sell them for around or below 250$..   And here is another question, I am really set on the Beyers.... BUT I was also considering the Audio...

Hey everyone, this is my first post, and my first real step into hi-fi headphones really. My last pair of headphones was the Bose Noise Canceling Headphones, which bit the dust a year ago, and I'm ready for something new that is not an over-expensive name brand.   What I like about music is...

Hey guys,   My first post here and lets say a newbie on the audiophile headphones. Hope you guys could help, I'm eyeing on buying either the M50 or 7509HD for my practice mainly in my digital piano and maybe to listen some music at home. Which one do you think is better? I saw a lot of good...

    I would like to thank iBasso for the opportunity to review their new USB and portable D-Zero amp/DAC. iBasso has been making quality amps and DACs for audio enthusiasts for years and I consider it an honor for them to allow me to review their product.   Pros: Looks, build quality...

A rep from a large online headphone retailer told me I could run a pair of AKG Q701s directly from my iphone.  Saying it wouldn't reach the full potential of the headphones but would work just fine.  Yes, no, maybe?

Recently sold my k701s as I just couldnt get on with them, too much sibilance, not enough drive and as exciting as watching paint dry. I actually prefer my aging and far cheaper Beyerdynamic dt 311s (which considering their age and cost are remarkably musical.) The k701s did demonstrate though...

I am about to pull the trigger on the Shure 940's, but I am wondering if they would sound good with music genres such as movie themes. I listen to alot of John Williams, Hans Zimmer, etc. Would the Shure 940's sound good with that kind of genre. If not, then which headphones in the 300 price...

In the June 2008 issue, Sam Tellig sings the praises of the Audio-Technica ATH-AD700, which he scored for ~$110 delivered from NewEgg.com (they've still got inventory). Some select quotes: "almost as open as, and maybe even more airy than, the far more expensive AKG 701"; "almost pulled off the...

I have a pair of M50's that I use with my udac2 and mostly everything sounds the way I like it. However I am just starting to get into some classical music (symphonies atm) and it's not sounding so perfect, everything sounds too 'close' to me if that makes sense, no depth. Even my Razer...

Hello , can anyone recommend a pair of headphones for Classical music.I own a Graham slee Ultra Linier Headphone Amap .Thanks.

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...

As my headphones have recently died, I've been reading up on relevant threads and have put together this list of headphones:   1. Sennheiser HD 598 2. Beyer Dynamic DT 880 3. AD900   I will be using these headphones for FPS games, and I've been reading multiple threads supporting...

in the 200-250 dollar price range. I was considering the senn 598's but I don't know if they need an amp. This is for home use, but I don't want them to be super easily broken.

      Pros: Light, clean sound, comfortable, great value. Cons: Not for a basshead. This review is written from the perspective of the Ad900 stock, no external amp or DAC to give readers an idea of what to expect if they buy these without an amp/DAC. Packaging: I was rather...

- Budget $250 - Inputs will be onboard sound for PC, MP3 player, or hooked straight up to the audio jack of a TV set (please stick to these parameters and don't recommend me get an amp or sound card or whatever...Yes, it's a weird situation, I know...) - I want something that will be...

Hi all,   I need some help regarding the AD900. On the right ear cup, behind the small velvet thing, the driver (?) seems to be loose. It can be slightly depressed unlike my left ear cup which is quite sturdy in place (can't depress nor feel loose).   While shaking the right cup a...

Hi everyone,   I want to buy an entry level headphone about $100, I have looked a lot and learn a lot in last two weeks, but I also don't know which one to buy. So I ask for help here. I use it to listen music, usually pop and rock, also like new age and classic. I play games, but I just...
