Hey guys. First and foremost I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong section, I have a bunch of questions but I thought the headphones forum would be a good place to start.   In the coming months I'll be preparing for college and I'm really looking to get some nice audio gear to make the...

Hi, need headphones recommendations for my cousin.   -Willing to spend around $200 range. -Closed. -Good amount of bass, but not over the top. -Something not heavy. -Usually listens to rap/hip hop and movies.   You can recommend more than one, I can narrow it down from there...

Hey guys. My mom and I are thinking of buying my stepdad a nice pair of cans for christmas, as he travels a lot. She saw the B&W P5s in a magazine ad, and asked me if they were good, or if I could find something better. I'm pretty sure I can find something better, but there are some...

My friend who plays acoustic guitar wants a pair of sond MDR-X10's with the reason that beats vocals sound underwater-like (Finally someone gets it). I warned him saying that MDR-X10s are bassy too, and are also underwater-like. He doesn't like swampy bass, but he also can stand anemic bass...

Intro A short review for a very specific purpose, below follows my mini review comparison of the Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9 and Denon AH-D2000, as some requested via PM when they saw my recent FS ad. Equipment Used - Power cord: Signal Cable Silver Resolution Reference - Digital source...

Just traded my ATH-ESW9 for my friend's T70 a few months since he said he really needs something portable. I noticed that these headphones lack texture and bass details, but when I press them against my ears, they sound like a totally different headphone. The bass suddenly become really detailed...

Longtime lurker here. My beloved CK10's bit the dust recently, and I'm wanting to make the move to a pair of headphones as I am about to start working from home and portability isn't as much of a concern, though a massive set of cans is not desirable. I listen mostly to folk, folk rock, and...

I narrowed it down to these two headphones for my first (higher end) headphones, and I was wondering if anyone who's had experience with these could give me a little advice on which to pick. I listen to alot of Classical and jazz, and also music like Mumford & Sons (not really sure what genre...

for iphone,,,,, i think about the DT1350,,, there is a better option? very important that it will be small and comfort! regards, Uri

After much use, almost 3 years worth, the leather is deteriorating drastically.  The rest of the headphone still so pretty and yet the headband itself is just getting to the point where its ugly.  It has spots where the leather itself is gone and whats left is the inner layer before the metal...

I hesitated to post, wasn't sure as a newbie with a low post count but here goes...   I was over at Headfonia looking for versatile phones that don't leak much, are more closed than open, and that I'll be wearing around town. I listen to less aggressive rock, electronic (trance), movie...

Looking to upgrade my trusty SR 850s. I have been almost killed 6 times now and although I am a tank in most respects, I still have issues with heavier headphones over long periods of time.    What modes should I consider? I am thinking maybe the FA-011, Beyer 880. Something with a bit of...

hello   i really like the coloured, warm and sweet sound of my ATH ESW9 , i like also my HD25    my question is really simple : which earphone can give to me the same kind of sound ?   I have tried the RE262 but i am not really satisfied (need an amp ?)   do you think monster...

Hi guys, I wondered if you can help me... I want to be an audiophile, but I need help choosing headphones. These are my choices: HiFiMan HE-400 Shure SE215 (IEM) And I still have $300 for a more portable headphone, probably On-Ear. Grado 325i Grado 225i Koss PortaPro Sennheiser HD25 ATH-M50...

After using and loving my Sennheiser HD-25 II's for about a year I'm ready for an upgrade or just new sound. I'm thinking I want a closed headphone that I can use outside my house but if open phones are that much better I can make that sacrifice. Some thing's I have been looking at are the...

Well my lil sis has been looking for sexy closed higher end (mid fi) headphones for a few months. I've given her some suggestions like AKG's, but she says it's too expensive, so I'm just going to buy something for her birthday next month. She really is looking for something sophisticated I...

I have been an audiophile for 5 years now. Earlier this year, I have decided to move from speakers to headphones due to space constraint.   Being new to the headphones. I have decided to try the three common types, close, open and planar (maybe someday I will dabble into electrostatic). I...

  Good Morning Awesome People of earth, I posted this is the portable headphone section but some said that full size might be the answer.   Here is my plight,   I've been searching for a pair of headphones online for a about 2 months. The reason I haven't ordered any yet is because...

  Suddenly sound stopped coming from the left cup, after a while I figured it was because the wiring inside the rubber broke by the male connector. I opened the cable and found out that was the case. Unfortunately it happened so close to the connector that I had to buy a new one to attempt to...

I listen to absolutely everything, with an emphasis on progressive metal, folk/indie, electronica, and post rock (basically I need something that can handle everything very well, as I'm pretty picky when it comes to sound) I've never bought a pair of audiophile quality headphones, but I've owned...

Hello guys, this is practically my first post, and I apologize if I've broken any introduction rules. I'm a long time lurker and I thank you all for the pragmatic tone and great advice I've seen.   Now my problem. I'm back in the market for cans after using several low range all-stars for a...

Last thread I promise!   I had a thread in here a couple weeks back where I got some great suggestions. Problem is most of the suggestions aren't very portable (DT770 32Ohm comes to mind).   My price range is ~$300, I can go a bit higher if needed. I'm looking for closed back headphones...
