What are your thoughts on both of these and which do you think is the best for genres overall

Hello all, I am posting to thank the members of this forum for the valuable information I found and used to purchase my first set of good headphones. I have been very tempted the past few days to create a new "which headphones should I buy" thread, but I resisted and just kept searching...

Hi guys(and girls),   As mentioned above, I am contemplating either buying the Audio Technica m50 or the Shure SHR840. Anyone have tried them before and any verdict? Personally I tried both of them before but at different occasion and told myself they are great cas however i kind of...

Just got my HA-5000 from jmcmasterj. I have not plugged it in yet. There are two sets of inputs on the back ... one is marked "AC Coupled" and the other is "DC Direct." What is the difference? Can I use both sets ... say one for CD Player and one for PC soundcard?

Hello everyone Well I finally bit the bullet, went to the Headphone shop in Perth and got a pair of the sexy mirror finished cupped Audio Technica ATH-ES7’s. My initial impressions are fantastic and they do exactly what I was after. They are small, portable, have reasonable isolation, are able...

I'm going off too college in a few months, and want to bring headphones along for those times when my roommates don't want my speakers to be on. I'd prefer to spend under/up to $100, but of course, if you have a good suggestion that is a few dollars over, feel free to post it. I don't have any...

Hey, I've posted here and there and I've been considering getting some new headphones after something just did not feel as awesome with my sr-80s, which led me to here(contrary to popular belief avoiding this forum will not save your wallet) I want something that can pump lots of bass when I...

Ok, I'm not exactly sure where to post this, so if a mod needs to move it, that's cool.     Ok, I'm using a cheap C-Media soundcard to encode Dolby Digital Live and send it to my astro mixamp via optical for decoding, for use on my PC and PS3 for gaming.    Here's my question,   In...

I am torn between the MS1 and the AD700. First of all my intentions are to start a headphone collection. I am going to be buying a pair of Grado or Alessandros regardless. If that wasn't the case then I would go with the AD700! So I was thinking get the AD700 and get a pair of Grado's later...

Hi,   Like a lot of people, I had problems with AD700 fit and comfort. They were loose on my head and the top portion of the earpads were appart of my head. Moreover, the AD700 is not really circumaural, since the ear rests on the (very large) earpad. This bothers me so I had to make some...

  Looking for a M50 sound with its linear prat and great body – just a little brighter in general + strong good highs (beyerdynamic 770), and more transient attack, a tad less wooly bass on my htc desire. I am after a portable headphone + large headphone with the described soundsignature. What...

Stumbled upon this today; seemed like a good deal so I thought I'd share.   http://www.amazon.com/Technica-ATH-AD700-Open-air-Audiophile-Headphones/dp/B000CMS0XU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1280714532&sr=8-1 (this deal not available outside the US)   And for my fellow Canucks...

Hey i am planning to buy new headphones but am really confused as what to buy. My budget is $100 and just want to use it for my ipod. I mostly listen to punk rock, RnB, metallic, etc. Portability is a vital factor for me and also would prefer if the cans are closed ones.

Hello guys and girls...   Last year I bought an Audio Technica ESW9 from Beach Camera, through amazon.com I have been a previous owner of ESW9s and could confirm they are legit, mainly by woodcup texture and driver colour...   Thing is that about some weeks ago I started to sense the...

I have a Macbook Pro and I listen to music a lot on it. I want an excellent pair of headphones that I can use with the Mac. I started to look at AKG K702, but from all the reading I did I learned that you really just can not plug the headphone in your computer especially to get bass. What is a...

Oka..im thinking about buying a pair of headphones....i have always used earbuds..but im getting tired of the lack of comfort and sound quality. okay...here is what i want   1. good sound quality (duh) but im not an audiophile..(but the way things are going i may become one) so i dont need...

So I recently found a very old pair of sennheiser HD 497's in my closet. However, after listening to songs with them, i want to get a new pair that is better, especially in the bass department. I've done a few days worth of research, and basically i've narrowed my search to 3 options. But first...

One day I was walking around in Best Buy and came across the Koss UR-55. Since it was a new product and cheap ($40-$50!) I figured I'd give it a try. I almost didn't because I have this bad habit of buying headphones I don't need! I expected that i'd be returning them the next day. I clearly...

I'm currently in search of the best headphones around $300-$500, maybe higher if it's really good.  I tried several of the recommended ones, and found problems with them, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.  I currently have the DT990s.  The only thing I don't like is their...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good set of full size headphones for a 14 yr old boy. He listens to music that ranges from the Ramones to alternative and hip hop. I would like to spend no more than $100 with the possible suggestion on what is a good bass headphone compared to a good...

Okay, here's the headphones that came with the SoundBurger portable record player. My pair came without the pads anymore. I gave it a listen without the pads and noticed the midrange has lots of potential. So I hunted for a pair of pads that will fit it's smallish drivers but to no avail. The...

Hi, I love the sound of my PX100's but I'm looking to find something better if possible. I'll be listening to Apple Lossless on an iPod (possibly via a line-out to a Graham Slee Voyager if necessary). Music taste is very varied. I recently tried the Senn HD650’s and after extended...

My ES7's wire got caught on a fence today and got torn. I bought it from BeachCamera back in May and it says there's a full one year warranty. I was wondering if it's covered. Also, I'm looking at the service form right now and it says I need a serial number, but the problem is I can't find the...

As the title says, i was looking for a pair of closed and detailed earphones, analytical it's the most appropriate term in my opinion.. so, 150$-200$. No amp and in combo with a cowon d2+. No matter if i'm gonna equalize them. Thanks. Also, i live in europe... i prefeer an european store.

I have been using my WS70s for a couple of months and i love it alot and im wondering if it will sound better with amps. I mostly listen to rock, metal and the occasional Pop. If so, what amp will you people recommend? Im using a iTouch 32GB.
