Hello knowledgeable head-fiers, I was in the Apple store yesterday and got a chance to test some full sized headphones, some based on reading mostly positive reviews on Head-Fi, Inner Fidelity and the like. I'm looking for full size closed phones that I can use on my train commute and at the...

I've been looking at the Shure SRH940 and the KRK KNS 8400 - but I've read soundonsound reviews of both of them which said that they've both got great mid-range response and ok (not bad by any means, but not stand-out) treble. I've heard similar things said of the AKG K272 HD and 271.  ...

Hello all,   Based on all the great reviews about the clarity of the Shure 940's I overlooked the comments about build quality and purchased them. I figured that the "cheap plastic" wouldn't be a concern for me since I'm generally easy on my stuff and it had the nice hard case included. Well...

Hey, I'm looking to buy some new full size over the ear headphones, i like nice punchy well composed bass that's not overwhelming but definitely there and I also want very clear mids and crisp highs (these are in order of priority). I'm currently looking at the klipsch image ones, beyerdynamic...

Looking for some recommendations of closed cans with good isolation for those with larger ears (and <$300). Don't have the option to easily demo headphones where I am. Looking for something to use commuting and for studying. Looking for a good all-arounder, and like I mentioned good isolation.

Hey all,   For the past week or so I've been on Head-fi trying to get recommendations for various different headphones for under 300.    The users of Head-Fi were nice enough to give me several suggestions, and today I was able to get myself down to Bay and Bloor Radio in Toronto to test...

I know there are threads about closed headphones for classical or there are reviews both LA7000 or T5p. But i can't find right answer for me.   I have to decide between these headphones for classical music. I love symphonic music, jazz pieces and soundtracks.    What should i go betwwen...

So i recently purchased a pair of ultrasone pro 900s and at first I really liked them, but I've been having this nagging problem that the midrange is way to recessed and I'm thinking that maybe I should try a different set of cans now. I absolute love the detail in the pro 900s and the mid bass...

I need some good travel headphones and I really like what I hear about these two. I listen to mostly rock with some hip hop and I was wondering which one would be better. My main priority is comfort, and if you have any other suggestions let me hear them.

Hey,   I'm going to buy a pair of DT660s for listening to jazz/classical, but i'm going to need a case for them, as they don't come with the standard Beyerdynamic case. I've heard great things about the Slappa Hardbody PRO, but i'm not sure that the DT660s are going to fit into them.  ...

Hi, this is my first post in this forum and I'm wondering if you guys could help me decide between Audio Technica ATH-M50, Beyerdynamic DT440, or Alessandro MS-1. I did some research in the forum and find the urge to make a thread to help me more lol. My budget is around $100- $200ish...

Hi there, brand new meat here   Although I have been researching a lot recently into which headphones to buy, so I know a certain amount, I've only just now realised that maybe more expensive headphones are not worth it when used with an MP3 player not a hi-fi? Any help would be appreciated...

Hi there, basically.. I have a 160gb Ipod classic, I am hoping to purchase some quality headphones, atm looking at sennheiser hd595s, audio technica m50's, shure srh 840s, beyerdynamic dt 770's or the 660's, and I was wondering for each of those, which you'd recommend, and which benefit from a...

Hi, I am new on this forum but I've been coming here many times, to look at headphones reviews. I am asking for your help today because I'm looking for some Headphones with a maximum price of 200$ (or slightly more), and don't know what to choose.   I always listen to music on my iPhone...

Hi!   I'm a very, very nascent audiophile who has been searching long and far for a nice pair of headphones upto $300 suitable for both day-to-day mp3 bus commuting and computer use as well as prospective home vinyl listening and couldn't think of any better place to come for a final second...

Hey, looking for some advise on some new headphones for my iTouch. Basicly I listen to jazz.Don't need the overdose of bass at the sacrifice of other frequencies but pretty much smooth across the spectrum and capable of that bass kick when necessary. Currently looking at three choices under...

My MDR-V6s are old and very broken. My parents gave me "consumer" "beats by dre" for christmas, which were promptly stolen (not to mention mediocre and overpriced). So I'm looking to get some new cans, for about 140$. Now I know there are plenty of sites and old threads that could tell me which...

Hi there!   Im in the market for some new cans and i´m having a hard time to make up my mind as usual.    What i´m looking for is a pair of closed hps with some fun in them. Not by any means the super-disco sounding type but something with a little punch.   At the moment i got the...

I've been looking for some good headphones for a while now and am looking for some help. I'm not a huge sound snob, but I want a good pair. I've been doing a lot of research on this website and I have a few in mind. I was hoping you guys could help me make up  my mind. I want something that has...

Hi. since I'm new here, I don't no where to ask question (whether in full size or portable headphones), so i'm just posting in both forum. (excuse me :))      I'm a student who loves listening to musics.    I've been using bose OE series. (I no it's not good headphones after all but...

Hello, I'm relatively new to buying into expensive headphones, this will be my first purchase that is 200 or over, and that is also my price range. I have some questions, like which brands, open or closed. I listen to music in a home environment, or during school. Im not looking for anything...

Hey all,   DavidMahler here.  I put up my review for Beyerdynamic's DT660 earlier this week.  You can find it here.  Since trying the DT660s, they have since become one my most used headphones because I feel they sound highly refined, natural and spacious directly out of an iPod.  However...

I Have the Auzentech Prelude sound card, so I have no need for a DAC, and I can buy an amp, but I only have a $300 budget.    I mostly listen to music(85-90%): Dubstep (60%) Screamo/metal/anything like that(30%) Other Techno-ish music(10%) The other 10-15% is: Movies Gaming Youtube...

      I already posted this question in this thread, but it doesn't seem to get as much love as all the other threads (which I can understand), so I decided to created a new thread. If I'm woefully out of line, please tell and I'd happily close this thread :)   Anyway, I'm 'in...

When I first tried these I was underwhelmed.  I had a preconception that because the headphones were closed back that they would resemble the DT770 in a way and have that extra impact bass.  These headphones are in fact so pronouncedly different from every other Beyer I've tried, that I wasn't...
