Hello fellow can fans, got these couple of weeks ago and feel ready to give some impressions.   I have been comparing them to my ES55's , Beats Studio's and HD600.   BUILD QUALITY   Good, feel very light but solid, cables are not too thin and the connection to the headphone is...

Hello audio purist, first time poster in search of some advice and suggestions. I am mod addict and had some headphones laying around that long pass their return date that I wasn't happy with and decided to make a frankinphone out of them.   My current equipment that rotate use around are...

Hello,   I´m looking for a set of closed full-sized headphones to give them away as a birthday present for my girlfriend. I need to make my mind in the upcoming days, because the date is quite close and they need to be shipped and all that stuff.   She mainly listens to Rock (Franz...

Hey, just started on this forum and so far has proved to be most awesome.   I'm currently after a new pair of cans to replace my Phillips Stretch's and have been looking at the Audio Technica ATH ES7 and ES55's. I'm more inclined to go for the ES7's as judging by what I've heard about them...

Hi!   I have been searching around these forums for a while, and although there's a few threads about closed back phones it normally comes down to HD25s or Beyer DT1350. I used to have HD25s, and they were GREAT headphones, but they weren't VERY portable, and they are also very expensive...

In my quest for some good portable closed back headphones I found two intriguing Audio-Technica models... There's the ATH-FC700 (~£50) and the ATH-ES55BK (~£80).   Now both are closed, and both are well reviewed (although, interestingly, it's harder to find the ES55 for sale?), so now I am...

Recently got my self a pair of Audio Techinca ATH -ES55's. They look and sound great, but there's one thing that has been bothering me about them, their cable. It's one of those thin flimsy cables you usually find on IEMs and it bothers me any time I listen to them   So I was wondering do...

I'm looking for headphones (and) to listen to alternative rock and trance. Like:     Linkin Park, Papa Roach , Korn , 30 Seconds to Mars,Thousand Foot Krutch Ferry Corsten, Armin. I have  Audio Technica ATH-ES55 , but they are weak and do not clean bass. Advise please headphones with...

Hey there,   I've recently purchased a set of GMP 8.3500 headphones, on the premise that they can be easily driven by a DAP, which they certainly can, sound great, isolate great and are suitable for on the move without amplification.   It would be fair to say that all of the above...

Hey all, I've decided I don't really like IEMs as a portable experience (I've tried well regarded from earsonics, ultimate ears, westone, and audio-technica and all seemed to have what I considered to be common shortcomings).  I would now like to get some portable over the ear phones instead...

Hi, I'm new here and after some new headphones for my iPod, but i need to fit them in my work bag so they need to fold as flat and small as possible, but I would like them to be closed and isolate as much as possible.   I was about to go out and buy some Bose OE, but when I noticed that...

Hey   Had a pair of akg 450 and now there broken so now im on a hunt for a new pair of headphones.   I was looking for a pair of portable headphones with a good sound stage as possible ... i know full size are the way to go in this department but i dont mind taking a hit in quality at...

Hey everybody,   I am new to these forum, write from France and would like to replace my Senn HD238, which were OK for me but way to fragile (broke two in 18months, bent the plug). So I decided to go for a slightly higher tier, with a budget of $100-$200.   These are my criteria Has to be...

I'm looking to buy some new headphones for around £100 and I'm currently torn between a few:   I want a comfortable, robust/durable pair of headphones that are portable but have big enough cups to fit around my ears (rather than sit on top of them).   Currently I'm interested in several...

Hi All.   I am sure the answers are somewhere already, but afraid I don't have time to read through so many discussions about specifics.... I have no idea about frequencies, waves, maths and such.   I am looking for some headphones, as swimmer's ear stops me from using my IEMs (...

So, initially I wanted a pair of ES7's, but when I found out that they made a smaller, more portable version (the ES55's), I opted for those since I do most of my listening on the train and portability would be a huge plus for me.   So I rang the local stockist here in Melbourne, and they...

Hey guys,   I posted a similar thread in the IEM forums.  Basically, I'm looking for my first quality pair of headphones.  I don't want them to be too big as I want them to be fairly portable.    The only criteria besides the price (~$80-$100) and size is that I want them to be good at...

With the expected announcement of the ATH-ESW10JPN and the somewhat unexpected AD1000PRM (ESW10 thread here), Audio-Technica quietly announced the new ES55. Unlike the ES5, this new Ear Suit model looks somewhat like a miniature version of the ES7. The ES55 will be released in Japan in late...

Cowboom.com is Best Buy's copy of woot.com, a website that has 1 deal per day.  They currently have the ES5, which seems to be AT's version of PX200.  For half the price, I'll bite.

Hello everyone,   I've been looking for set of portable headphones with great sound quality, great isolation, and no leakage.   There are a few reviews about the AKG K450 which pretty much praise it to the heavens, but some very bad ones too.   With that in mind, I've been eyeing the...

Hello everyone,   Someone is selling Audio-Technica ATH-ES55 (in both colors, black and white) and I'm really interested in them as the price is very good. The seller has an online store and has various headphones from many brands for sell. I asked the seller where the headphones were made...

Hello everybody,   I'm new on this forum so i don't know if this is the right spot to place it..    I already possess the Shure SRH-840 which it think is wonderful..   Now my question --> I need a portable headphone in the price range of 80>150 euro's.. I have read many positive...
