I'm looking for a pair of active noise canceling headphones for around $100.   - I have a pretty big head so they can't be too tight - I am primarily using them to block out ambient/background noise without music playing in order to work/study - I plan on using them for 6+ hours a day...

  Take a plane anywhere in the US and you are more than likely going to see many choices for music listening.  In my experience noise canceling headphones are #1 with earbuds #2, other headphones #3, and in-ear headphones a distant 4th.  What NC headphones have I primarily seen?  Bose, of...

So I know there are a few threads which touch on this, but I've been reading for a few days and still have some unanswered questions.   I fly every week for work, and have been using Monoprice 8320s with Comply TX-400 tips on the plane. I'm looking to upgrade, partially because I have an 18...

Hi all,   I've been lurking Head-Fi for a couple of months now, reading up on your reviews of over ear headphones. The reason why I'm making this post is that I'm not much of an audiophile and I would like to gain some advice. Recently my current headphones have finally started...

Testing six eight eleven headphones from £ 80 to £ 1,200                        Introduction   When you listen from the loudspeakers, your right ear not only hears the sound from the right loudspeaker, it hears the sound from your left loudspeaker too and...

Where can I get replacement earpads for my Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7?   The sources for Shure earpads seem to be more plentiful -- does anyone know what Shure earpad model number is the equivalent to the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 earpad?

Hello evb,   I am new to audiophile , I just got an Audio Technica ATH-ANC7B. but I owned Grado SR 80i for some time now , I m now planning to buy an entry level headphone amp . so I heard that normal headphone like grado Sr80i will have some improvement with an amp but I want to know can an...

Hello. I have done some research on noise cancelling headphones and decided to buy a pair. I am seventeen and I want to use the money I earn to buy the best noise cancelling headphones, the pair who has the best noise cancelling and sound quality. I found 3 headphones and I am not sure what...

I know a lot has been said about these three headphones, but I need and advice more specific to my needs. In this moment, I own a Klipsch Reference One. They become really uncomfortable after 2 hours of use and its sound has nothing especial on it. My needs and tastes are these:  I spend...

Hi, i'm looking for a pair of good quality noise-canceling headphones for my boyfriend who is a drummer. I have absolutely no idea what is good and any help is much appreciated! He would need them for ear protection while drumming (so as much sound cancellation as possible) and for frequent use...

First of all, I am NOT a audiophile, yet. I am just a beginner, my wallet is very slim   I am relatively inexperienced, but after surfing around here I think I have experience in writing reviews in audiophile terms. But I try my best expressing them in layman terms. I am 16 and i joined here...

First up I must confess to being an audio nutter who has been playing around with this hobby for 65 years - yes I'm well & truly a "senior", but one who has only come seriously to headphones in the last few years.   Two factors have taken me down the headphone path: 1. My wife dislikes the...

Hi,   ATH-ANC7b was my very first headphone and I love it so much. But I cannot use it in the office environment because of the sound leakage.   I searched many places but I don't see any thread talking about fixing this sound leakage.   I do have an idea and hopefully someone can...

My new anc7b is too tight for the ear around place. 2 problems 1,the ear pad is hard, does anybody changed it before, change to feather or bose qc15 ear pad. Will the change cause any quality loss in NC effect or sound quality?   2, the whole circle is tight, I now use a large pure water...

okay! I've given up on my research. it has been days but I cant help myself decide between these two. I like them both but cant help which one to go for. please help guys!    Im new to all these headphones stuff. What I really need is:   Isolation (because I travel a lot) No or minimal...

I am a student, and am looking to get some good headphones. I listen to classical music constantly (though not exclusively-- i listen also to other kinds of music. Classical is just the best genre for writing) and don't want to kill my ears by having to pump up the volume. At the same time, I...

Which one is better for active noise cancellation?   I need this for a plane flight to South Korea.   Please help! Thanks :D

Hello everyone. This is my first post, so bare with me. I'm going to be putting in a Sound Blaster X-fi titanium, and I need help deciding on a pair of good headphones out of a list I constructed. I'm going to be using these for gaming mainly (because I hear it's better to get headphones, rather...

Newbie here, but have lurked for a while just reading. Anyways I am looking to buy a pair of over the ear headphones. I am not convinced that I need noise cancelling, but at least sound isolating is a must. I want light, comfortable headphones and although I am not an audiophile I want good...

I am trying to decide between the ATH-ANC7B and the ATH-M50 for listening to music and noise cancelling (active or passive) on an airplane ride between the US and India. I have heard that the noise cancelling really lowers the quality of the audio. Also, I have never used neutral headphones (I...

Hey guys, I'm just starting to get into all this "audiophile" stuff, so bare with me. I'm always listening to music, but one thing I hate is when I'm hearing everything but my music. I'm looking for portable headphones that have great sound (the way music was intended to sound) and aren't a...

Hi everyone,   I'm trying to decide between the following:   Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7b ($120 on Amazon) Bose QC15 ($300) Klipsch Image One ($150 at Apple Store)   Here's what I'm looking for:   I'm looking for noise-canceling (I know Klipsch is noise-isolating) to help me at...

Hey guys, planning on getting a gift for a friend who mainly listens to his iPhone.   Basically I am on a 150$ budget (Though I would prefer 130 max), and he wants a foldable headphones with case (Like Beats by Dr Dre), noise isolation/cancel, and better than Beats as they were his last...

First, I really appreciate the help from you guys :) This is going to be my first headphone.  I did researches on different headphones and narrowed down to 3-4 choice, Audio Technica or Sennheiser.   I mainly listen to classical music / orchestra / musical.  Sometimes pop and rarely rap...

Hello, everyone.   I'm trying to find myself a pair of over/on-the-ear headphones. I use my PC to make music, with programs such as FL Studio and others. Essentially, all I need is for the sound to be crisp and clear with good bass. They do not need to be portable nor do they need to have...
