Has anyone made this comparison? I own the DT770 LEs and am curious how they would compare, amped and unamped from a portable source, especially in terms of isolation, soundstage, and vocal performance. I love my LEs but their mids are somewhat underwhelming compared to the detail and texture in...

I have looked up many headphones on Ultrastone and Bayerdynamic and i mean all of the PRO and HFI series in Ultrastone and DT ones by Bayerdynamic. First of all, i am ameteur when it comes to headphones. i have only had a Grado SR60 and a Sennheiser 280  My Music collections include   Bands...

Looking for some headphones that will make me feel like I'm at a club or massive rave.  Any suggestions under a million dollars?  Just kidding - ideally under $200 please.  If under $100, I'll be doing backflips.   Currently have: Sony XB500 (with EQing, love the bass, but it sounds very...

Hello,   I am hoping someone could help me out in finding a pair of headphones that would best suit my needs...   1) Price Range: $250-350 2) Over-Ear, Closed (maybe Noise Canceling?) that are good for all types of music... I listen to a lot of progressive house as well as a lot of...

So, I've been lurking on this forum for a long time.  I've been trying to decide what to buy and what is exactly what I want.   I listen to dubstep, techno, pop, rock and video game music.  I'm looking for good headphones for this.   I've seen tons of suggestions, but they are either so...

I'm renting an apartment and god it's noisy, so noisy. I'll pay up to 600 dollars for something that can give me peace and quiet. Make that a thousand. In-ear monitors aren't an option, they're too uncomfortable for me. This is something I'll be wearing every time I don't feel like listening...

I have this brother I am trying to not convince to get Beats or Bose. Many of you understand this struggle, if not with family than with friends. I have an obligation to show my little bro there is a better place for him and his music nirvana. Unfortunately, his needs and mine are different,and...

Sup, been lurking this forum for awhile. Anytime I need my headphone info I always add to the search "head-fi" lol. Anyways, I've been looking for replacements for my Sennheiser PC350s forever now. They have been great (bass mod as well). They are really a great unit. But after time, you just...

Hi everyone,   Yes, it's another "what should I buy" thread, and yes, I know there's a fixed topic for that, but the fact is it's a mess. It’s very hard to get more than one or two advices before the next poster asks for something completely different. That being said, please move/merge it...

Ok, let's say price isn't a big concern. Does there is such thing: strong deep bass (with bigger impact than on dt770) and at the same time, mids and treble aren't recessed in any way with at least average soundstage, but closed type?  Maybe 2-way drivers or smth?

Hello! For those who just want a quick rundown, refer below. Otherwise, here's my situation: I'm definitely not an audiophile or anything, but I do enjoy my music. I am in need of an upgrade from my Sennheiser hd 201's, which are okay, but the cups are uncomfortable and the high's(I think) are...

Hey guys, I was looking on ebay today and saw these   http://www.ebay.com/itm/1Pair-Ear-Pads-Cushions-Replaces-for-Beyerdynamic-DT770-DT551-DT880-DT531-DT801-/290832906028?pt=US_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item43b6fdf72c   I was wondering if anyone here's had a chance to try these and...

Hi Guys!   Once again, I'm looking for some earphones. I lost my Shure SE215s almost a year ago and I've been using the big Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro 80ohms on my daily commute. They sound great, but they are far from being compact, and now that summer is here, they are too warm and I can't...

I have been searching for months, reading reviews, asking around, trying to get a solid can in my price range. Currently I'm looking at spending no more then 250$ For a amp and some cans. Right now I'm stuck with two, the akg k 240 mk II and some DT 770's. I have also been looking into a...

What I want: Since I listen to a lot of techno and vocal trance and just vocal things in general (opera stuff, cover songs etc) I want something that has the clarity of the Shure 440s with as much possible bass. The shure440 have shown me things in songs I never knew existed and I want...

Hi folks! I've finally decided to invest in a decent ish pair of headphones. I'm certainly no audiophile and sound clarity isn't something I'm very well versed in. I'm generally just used to toying around with large PA systems and revelling at the bass. As a result the only headphones of note...

Hey guys, new to the forum.   Gonna get straight into this and say, I own a pair of Beats by Dre Studios, was a gift about 2 years ago. Back then I didn't go too in-depth on sound quality and such, but over the years I've kinda developed a sort of sound I'd like. So I thought it was about...

Rules Just like any other HEAL/HURT game, except with headphone models. Let's see what's Head-Fi's fav. Add one point to the model you like saying HEAL, and remove one from the one you don't like saying HURT. All models start with 10 life. Just copy the last post and add your votes in it; would...

I'm not talking about cheap headphones.   I'm talking about some expensive headphones like shure srh940,sennheiser hd 59* series etc,that some people had problems with build quality (cracks).   I would like to see what other headphones are known to have similar or other build quality...

So on my 225s that I love, I now realize how much I dislike the standard Grado headband. my SR80s have a wide leather one that is fairly comfortable. But this vinyl one isn't so great. I was curious, I've seen the beyer headbands that snap on ( 770s and 880s i believe ) and I'm wondering if...

Alright, there's tons of threads all over the web about the impedance on the Beyerdynamic DT770s, but I couldn't quite figure out that the amp I have personally, the E07K, could drive the 250 ohms. I'm looking to buy one of the models because I'm a huge HUGE basshead and I've heard unanimous...

Ear cups need to be big, so they don't pinch my ears.   The ear cups need to be sound blocking (so hard plastic or whatever is necessary)   Background:  I am so desperate to find something, that I am willing to pay $2,000 or build it myself.  I have asked friends and family to help and...

Every once in a while, eBay turns up some interesting stuff. This month's most interesting find is a seller peddling handmade planars out of the Ukraine. He goes by Koval and offers a few different models ranging from ~$150 up to a pair that is no longer listed which was marked up around $600...

Looking for a $300 pair of closed/semi-closed headphones that sound great without an amplifier. Some features I'm looking for are   Amp-less: I will be driving these out of a laptop/portable media player. I don't plan on purchasing an amp soon so scalability is not an issue for me. I'd just...

Hi! Im a complete noob ! I came to site by mistake but I decided to take a look around and was amazed by the knowledge about headphones of some of the guys ! Wow !  And now I want help in selecting headphones ! And i honestly cant tell much difference in them ! After hours of surfing on the...
