This warrants a re-edit   This set is built very well, its the perfect size and I love the materials used.  Out of the box most people report a decent overall sound with hopes of a light burn in helping things out.  This is not the case.  It gets far worse after some use.  My original review...

I've been looking at the AKG K 181 DJ but I'm not sure that's what I want because they don't look very fashionable and the wire is like 5 feet and 8   What I want is a great great sound where I can listen to my techno, electric-pop music. the appearance of the headphones really important...

Where and why I bought the Audio Technica ATH-ES7 Where - I bought mine here, at J&R Electronics for $99. Since I bought mine a few months ago the price has dropped to $89 which is a real bargain for these headphones. J&R only ships to the US & Canada however. If you live in the US and attempt...

I've just recently received some ATH-AD700s, and they're great but I have a couple problems. For one it's a bit lacking in bass, but the main problem is just how it sits on my head. The back/bottom of the ear phones rub against the sides of the back of my neck and give me a pretty bad crick...

My ATH AD 700s are falling apart and the erapads are starting to rip up. I've been using them for about 2 years and I haven't found any headphones better than it for around the same price. Any suggestions on <200$ open air headphones that are designed to feel super light, and with same or better...

    I listen to techno/trance/house a lot   Grado sr60i with huge pads or Audio Technica ath-a700's?

             I recently got the astro mixamp and some AD700's.  I used the zalman clip on mic but my friends constantly told me they could never hear me so I decided I need a boom mic.  I had heard about fragtality's velcro mod but I wanted something more elegant so I decided to actually...

I went to guitar center today and gave them a listen they were super comfortable, high quality, looked nice. Problem is i feel like the bass wasn't heavy enough. I have bass booster EQ on my ipod and it still wasn't enough any headphones similar to these but higher bass?

Hi, Can you guys toss me some suggestions on which headphones to get for my mom?   Here are the criteria: Low price <$50 if possible. Very strong cord. (Sennheiser HD 202 cord was pulled and broke.)  Closed back (due to machine noise in the background). Hopefully a loose fit and/or...

Long time lurker. Going there in a few days and need some help.

As a lurker here I just wanted to pop in and say that thanks you the wonderful reviews on here I picked up my first set of real cans yesterday (ATH-M50 non-S) and it was so worth it.   I have a Nuforce uDac on order but I'm already obscenely happy.   I have a bunch of 24/96 files in iTunes that...

I've been through some Grado SR 80s, AKG 81DJs, and Senn HD 497s. I want a set that are over ear and very comfortable, and are not too open so that my roommate doesn't strangle me. I'm thinking around 150 or less. Let me know what your suggestions would be! THANKS ALOT.

Let me start by saying I am not interested in the ATH M50's, I'm not a fan of lots of boomy bass which I have heard is present in these. (Had to make that clear since every thread that mentions $100 they come up lol).   I like a sound similar to my RE0's, neutral, accurate fast bass...

Hey guys! I've been lurking the forum a bit and I have found that I'm no where near experienced enough to understand what kind of headphones to look for. From searching, I've seen that the Audio Technica M50 might be good for me, but I don't want the bass too overpowering. I mainly listen to...

I'm considering in getting the ATH-M50 for an all purpose stationary headphone, unamped or with the Fiio E5, but I'm still not certain. I primarily listen to gothic and symphonic metal, electronic, j-pop, classical, as well as for stereo tv and movies. However I've read in a few threads that...

Hi !   This is my first post on this forum I've been reading for a month now, glad to finally join this community. I'm a french reader of Head-Fi, and will probably stay there for a moment !   But first, I'll begin as many, by a question, even I read tons of posts to find my answer...

Well an evil dachshund gnawed away at my Shure SE110s so it seems I am buying a pair of UE SuperFi 5. But that is not the issue. Now I need something on my wishlist...   Needs: Full size, comfortable, a little bass (not bass heavy), sound quality, and soundstage.   I hear the AD700 is...

Well, I've been thinking of replacing my crumbling HD555s that I've been using for 3 some years. Mainly, I listen to Game music (soundtracks, touhou, OCremix), Electronic music and Classical/Orchestral music with some J-Pop mixed in. What I want from the headphones would be 1. Good for the...

hi everyone,i wonder which phone to buy between sennheiser IE8 for 180 euros or  audio technica m50 for 145 euros,i know about IE8's soundstage and bass,and m50 good value,so i don't know what to buy,i listen to hiphop/rnb/jazz so i'd like your advices,thanks ^^

i have a disease- its called adhd -or- attention deficit headphone disorder. i had spotted the jvc harx series a while back and could find zero info on them except for specs. i was interested in the 700 and 900 particularly. after waiting for a while i finally decided to spend 38$ shipped...

Hello once again, fellow head-fiers. I've got a little question concerning closed headphones.   What is the flattest frequency response you can get in a pair of closed headphones for up to $300?    I've been told to research some headphones for an environment with a constant 60dB...

Will there be any problem if i left my Ath-M50s burning in with pink noise- 60% volume for 24 hours a day? Any proof that there's any difference with a faster burn in then a slower burn in?

So, I have finally decided after many helpful suggestions and threads on this board to two head phones the ESW9A and the ES10.    For ESW9A the price I found was 225. For ES10 the price I found was 370.   Is the ES10 higher price justified? I will be running unamped out of my iphone 3gs...

I recently bought one 2nd-hand. Interestingly enough I find the sound more 'natural' compared to my ESW9's. It also has better decay. The circumaural design is a plus too, I'm beginning to loathe supra-aural pressure on my pinna more and more now.   I also found these to be the first pair of...

Like you hopefully read, these are my first good pair of headphones and my first review, so please give me a little bit of slack and feel free to give constructive criticism where due. For all people who previously helped me, sorry I haven't done the review sooner. I have been very busy and have...
