So I thought I would just share some pics of my mods to my AD700's thus far.  They are really coming along nicely.  Just waiting on my Dremel to come in the mail and they will be completed with a detachable cable.  Anyways, onto the eye candy.     Detachable Cable (Original Modded)  ...

Hello!   I'm buying headphones for electronic dance music production, but not sure which one to buy because I have no experience and knowledge in this area. If I had a chance to try before buy I'd definately do that, but since I don't have I'll have to rely on your opinions.Headphones I'm...

[EDIT] After rereading the review and taking in to account some comments it received, i realised that some very important parts were rather vague. Like the neurotic i truly am, i decided to rewrite the parts that concern the sound, trying to be more precise and thorough this time around. I am...

So I recently posted a thread asking for help finding a new pair of headphones (link: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/514332/i-need-a-new-pair-of-headphones-and-am-completely-lost-in-the-limitless-choices#post_6951605) and now I've narrowed it down but still don't know which to choose.  ...

The ATH-M50 is getting rave reviews in the pro audio world, praised by big name recording engineers, producers...etc. I'm wondering how is Audio-Technica's studio line of headphones different from their audiophile line of headphones? For example, the M50 vs. the A500 or A700 (similar price range)?

Hello all. I just received my first pair of "real" cans. Audio-Technica ATH-M50. I am givin em a shot on my itunes library on the laptop. First impressions? Much better than I am used to. I had (have) a pair of Bost TP-1's and they are outmatched by the M50's. So far, lovin em. Now, keep in...

Ok, about 6 weeks ago I bought some M50's (coiled cable) to listen to my ipod while I was at work. Before using them I left them playing for 48 hours. I love them, they are wonderful and I can see why they're so popular here on head-fi. These have no had in excess of 250 hours on them.   I...

Hey guys I finally received my heaphones from AudioCubes... first impressions are good. Nice box with simple packaging, simple yet effective carrying pouch. The cans themselves have a long half-coiled cable and they swivel 90 degrees so can rest them on your shoulders or have them sticking out...

Head-Fi,   Some of you may have read my other post asking where the place was to buy the ATH m50s. I think I am going to take the leap, but before I do I want to ask if there are other cans that might beat the quality of the m50s in a similar price range. I have also read that comfort might...

The m40's have better specs other then the 5mm smaller drivers according to the website, im a noob still so that 5mm might be a big difference.   Inform me why the m50's are "better"   M50 http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/57a64f4a9fdbefd9/index.html   M40...

So I was bored and since I am about to do my AD-700's in the satin midnight blue, I thought I would post different photos of what different colors look like.  I still think black looks the best, and most people have done gray, but the midnight blue I think makes mine unique and it still looks...

Hi All,   I recently won some Audio Technica ATH W1000x headphones in a competition and having failed to sell them (exchange rates made it impossible to get a decent amount for them), I have decided to keep them.   However, I have two issues now...   1. Does anyone know of any good...

Hi folks,   I own the Heed Canamp and the AKG K701, which I'm happy with but wouldn't exactly use with some of the heavier music I listen to (Opeth, High on Fire, Tool, Mars Volta, Kyuss etc). At the moment I'm using my Alessandro MS-1i for that kind of music, which is a GREAT headphone...

I did a search and was amazed I couldn't find an appreciation thread for these amazing cans. Well, let me just say that these are my favorite cans now and are more musical and complete sounding than anything Ive ever had before(check my profile). Plus these guys sound great even out of my ipod...

Hi everyone,   I am a super n00b in the headphone world. I spent most of my last 15 days reading posts on head-fi to zoom upon the ideal cans for my needs and my budget ( I am an engineering grad student and hence my purse is not very fat :| ).   As you would have guessed by now, I ended...

Hey guys, I just got the AD700 today and I really am enjoying them but I keep on thinking of ways to make them better since I enjoy modding things.   Question 1: What's the difference between the AD500 and the AD700? If it's just the drivers then could I buy a pair of AD500 and swap the...

Hello Head-fiers This is my first post here, so please bear with me, I'm still just a noob   After some lurking and reading on the subject I'd like to ask for help. I'm looking for full size headphones mainly for jazz (hard bop / post bop / modal, but lately also more recent stuff ) and...

Hey. I'm getting into headphones and, after looking around a bunch, decided to come to this forum. I currently own a pair of Koss Portapros (this is my first pair of headphones by the way) and want to upgrade. I'm mostly upgrading for three reasons: I want better sound quality (the Portapros are...

I listen to HipHop/Rap and the occasional rock as well, and once in a while classic music. I'm looking for headphones that cancel out sound fairly well without having to look luggish as i want them to look stylish too because i will probably use these outside a lot.   -Comfortable on the...

Hi all,   I'm a complete newbie when it comes to headphones... In the past I only used the default iPod / BlackBerry earplugs that Apple / RIM provided, but my friend lent me his grados for a week earlier in the month, and now it's safe to say I'm converted... Haha, now I'm looking to...

Found answer on my own please let this die.   The V900HD's are fake from ebay

Okay, I know this has been posted before, but it didn't really help me out. I was wondering which pair of cans is more durable, and I have a few questions. First of all, how does the driver size affect the sound quality and bass of a pair of headphones? And I need your opinions on which one is...

I would like to get a nice pair of headphones for my father. He works from home, and his office is in his bedroom so closed is a necessity! I have spent HOURS of researching and am down to the M50 ($100) Vs. A900 ($135 Used). He mostly listens to audio books, lots of movies and some music...
