I have always loved music and most of all i always loved rap, hip-hop, rock, dubstep, and things of those sort. In my past i have had a decent headphone Me-elec m9 and have appreciated it, but it died shortly after purchase. I am now using my jvc hfx-101 (updated model) and im liking it, but...

Hi there,   I've been runing my ATh-m50 for 3 or 4 years now with great result. They are starting to fall appart a little (cord and earpads) and i'm telling myself it's time for a change. On the boxing day i got myselft Sony MDR-nc-500d for a cheap price on fs website. I couldn't listen to...

Is there anywhere in New York that I can drop my ATH M50's to get fixed? There is DEFINITELY something wrong with the sound and if I fiddle with the jack enough it goes back to normal so I'm going to assume it's something wrong with that. However I have absolutely no experience with soldering...

I'm mostly looking for something to use at home without waking up the family.  I've been looking into the Creative Aurvana Live!, ATH-M50's and Ultrasone HFI-580's but I'm not sure which of these would be better, but I'm open to any other suggestions.  I'm going to be plugging them into a Asus...

Freshmen for over- ear headphones: Do you have any suggestions for sennheiser headphones? Budget: below $100-150, I do not mind buying used headphones, but I do not know what place is good for buying used one. If there are no good headphones in sennheiser around my budget, would you mind...

To begin with, I don't know a whole lot about headphones, which is the reason I am here. I have a few questions that I'd like to ask, and if anybody could tell me some things that I should know I'd love to hear it. I am trying to buy some high quality headphones but don't know where to start or...

Hey all! I'm narrowing my choices for my next set of cans to replace the old garbage I'm using now, and I'd really like the input! The first contender is the ever-popular ATH M50. I know they're the go-to set for most people who are just getting into the game or looking for a nice pair they...

Preface This is a work in progress, primarily to help me organize my thoughts about my current stable, and to help me decide which cans should be culled from the herd and which cans I may want to look into in the future.  I am posting it here in the hopes that it will help others make somewhat...

So I need some help choosing headphones.  I have read alot on this forum and I am stuck between a pair of Audio Technica ath-m50 and Monster Beats Studio.  Right now, you are probably going to say not the beats, but I can get them for $80 from a friend, perfectly good and everything.  I mainly...

Sorry if this is long but I want to give a clear picture of what I am looking for.  First off I'm using a $10 pair of ear buds currently.  I want to get a better pair of headphones because I like listening to music in my car.  I don't have anything special in my car I just like the clear...

I have a pair of Grado SR-80s that have done me well for several years, but of course they have an open design so my coworker is able to hear my music. I'm looking for a decent set of closed headphones to use in the office, for ~$200-250 or so. I mostly listen to metal, and don't really want...

Hey guys, as the title says, I'm looking for a good upgrade for the M50. I listen to a lot of trance, indie and sometimes rock. Well I listen to quite a lot of genres. Please leave some comments and the strengths of the cans. Thanks a lot. :-)

Hi all,   I've spent a lot of money on headphones (at least relative to income). I somehow feel like this compels me to use them everyday. Does this happen to you? How many hours a day do you end up listening to music?

Hey guys, I have read and read and done a lot of research.  After being an audio lover for many years I decided to get into hi-fi.  I've currently have what I consider a good setup, but I am looking for more.  I am looking for more because I know there is more out there.  However, I get...

Hi all,   I'm looking to get myself some new headphones.  These will be my first pair of dedicated, portable headphones, so they need to be closed.  Currently I am using the CX 300-II IEM and they're showing their age.  I listen to a wide variety of music such as house, electronic...

Hello,   After deciding to dump the choice of the ath m50, and instead going to buying a combo of the aurvana live and a $50 or less earphone, i thought this is a better choice since i have a chance to get the best of both worlds, and also, take earphones to the gym.   All I can tell u...

Hey guys, I currently own the ATH-M50's and the Philips citiscape Uptowns (also SoundMagic HP200/ Philips Fidelio S2 IEM's on the way) so I'm not sure whether I should buy a DAC. Theyre both fairly efficient headphones so I'm not sure if buying a DAC would be worth it. So do you think I should...

I have about 200$ Canadian to spend on new headphones. I really like the sound of my shure SE215-Ks and would preferably find something like them  headphone sized. I've been looking at the m50s and the a700. I listen to rock and classicalish music.

Hi all,   I did the "removable cable mod, but I had to remove the the clip that was attached with 3 screws otherwise it wouldn't close well, so now I have no bass in that speaker at all. It is also less loud than the right speaker, is this a plug issue or is it that the speaker isn't...

I'm the manager of an artist that goes by AntiMatterAudio. Him and I are going to get the same pair of Monitors. He makes Dubstep,Chillstep...Electronic Music, so we need them to be closed style and something that will let us hear High and Low Frequencies. We love to hear it loud and bassy but...

Hello, I currently have the standard ATH-M50s atm. Just recently the left ear of the headphones suddenly stopped working. If it helps there's a bit of a concern with the wires close to the jack. There are a few exposed wires under the metal coiling. I want to know if there's any way i can fix them?
