Hey everbody, I'm looking for some good headphones and this seems to be the place to go. I've been looking in the $100-$200 range pricewise.  After reading some reviews around here I think im most interested in the audiotechnica ath ad700's or the ad 900's. Although I'm not sure if the 900's...

Got a cMoy BB 2.03 2x9V and for some songs the bass is sounding a little more crackly that I think it should, my question... is this a lack of sufficent power from my amp or an issue with audio quality   Here's the Song where I first Noticed the lack in bass   Nujabes Luv Sic Part 1...

First of all, and I'm sure you hear this all the time, I'm a newbie to audio.     Currently I have a pair of HD280 Pros that I enjoy.  Typically I listen to them through a receiver which is connected via stereo splitter to the 3.5mm jack on my desktop.  I realize that that isn't an ideal...

Hello,   I have been using a Sennheiser cx500 in-ear headphones for about three years and now decided to buy a better headphone. After a small research Sennheiser HD598 seemed like a good choice. But I wanted to take your opinions:   I mostly listen to classical, jazz and postrock...

I have an Asus xonar dx (I know) and was looking for a pair of headphones for FPS games like bf3 and counter strike. I also want to be able to use it for music. I mainly listen to electronic music like dubstep and some rock. If you also know of a good external mic that would be awesome :D I was...

Hello everyone .   I am totally new to the forum and the audiophile section. I ve been listening to a lot of rock music , classic rock .   Recently a friend of mine bought me the Beyerdynamics DT880 250ohm edition . i like the headphones very much and the music is very crisp and clear ...

Hey,   I've been looking into some Beyerdynamic 880s and 990s but I'm not sure about if you NEED an amp for them since I'm a noob to audiophillia. I would probably eventually get an amp but not in the near future, would I be able to use them straight into a Z77 ASUS Sabertooth motherboard...

Alright im sure there has been a ton of posts on this... but nothing i have found really helps. im looking to buy my first pair of descent headphones somewhwere between 200-300 posibly even $350 if i feel its worth it. i have a fiio e7 amp already. i mostily listen to alternative rock, and rock...

I've read tons of posts and researched for weeks and I've decided on the DT 880s (250 ohm). There are still some things that are unclear to me and haven't been definitively answered (so far as I could find). Some of you may recognize me from a post I made a while ago which was crucial in my...

Well I'm sorry for starting another recommendation thread well I was just wondering what the best pair of headphones would be for me. I am an avid classical music listener I also like the bass to be present. I don't have a budget set in stone but I just purchased the monster Ntunes on...

I'v recently been looking around for some open-eared headphones and I've come across Grado. Where is a good place to start with Grado for under $200? If you could link reviews or give your own, it would be really appreciated. I don't exactly care so much if its on-eared or over-eared, as long as...

I currently have a Titanium HD and AD700s that I use for gaming, and I love them.  However as everyone knows they are pretty bass light, and I'm looking for a pair of headphones that I'll use for music.  As far as genres go, I listen to all types of rock, and a ton of instrumental stuff from big...

Hi everyone, I’m going to buy new headphones for listening to mainly classical and jazz music at home.  My budget is about 250-300 $ maximum.  I did some research and came up with a selection of six headphones (please feel free to suggest any other cans).    Beyerdynamic DT880 or DT990...

I was hoping for some help in choosing some headphones for a gift. Budget is $100-200 and as it says in the title the user has an Essence STX and listens mainly to Rock with some gaming and TV streaming too.   Any suggestions appreciated.

hi everybody, I'm new to this forum I'm looking forward to buy a new set of headphones, I only own some AKG480 NC and now I decided I want an around ear set of headphones. I'm looking at this two headphones both from Beyerdynamic: 770 PRO and 880 PRO. I don't really care about the looks, I...

Posted this on another forum but didn't get too much of a response.. I'm looking for some help on adding a decent pair of headphones to my system, mainly for late night TV use as I've been getting some complaints about keeping others up!    Probably best to list my current set up I guess -...

I'm looking for open cans. I have a fiio E10 and because of other financial commitments (getting a tv, a Fiio E11, ipod classic) I would like to get the best possible open hp I can for around 300. So far I've looked at the AKG Q701 and the Grado SR225/325i. Would my E10 on high gain be able to...

Some smaller ensemble pieces, like also jazz instrumentals and vocals, other types not as much.   Running them off a NAD integrated amplifier.   If they exist would like to keep cost closer to $100 to $125 pair.  Read good things about Senns 518/558/598s, AKG's, ATHs.  Have owned AT...

I was wondering what people recommend my path should be in the world of head fi. I recently got some HE400s and reckon they are ace. However, as seems quite common, I am already thinking what next!   I only have an E17 portable amp at the moment so the logical thing to do would be to upgrade...

Is there a headphone that has the fantastic soundstage and forward mids of the HD598 but with more bass? The lack of bass will be a big problem for me...

Hello! This is my first post ever on this forum. I'm only 19 years old so I wouldn't consider myself old enough to be an audiophile, but I do have an affinity for good quality music. I have a decent Onkyo/Focal stereo setup back at home but I'm back in college now, and it's not practical for...

[Edit] Dang I just realized this should have went to the amp subsection. My bad guys.   Hey guys, I know some of you may say that this has been discussed already, but there are a few finer points that I want to hammer out which I haven't found an answer to.   I have already decided on...

Hello, you. I've bought a pair of refurbished Sennheiser HD 598 headphones and they're pretty good, but when I compared them to my dad's Bose QC2... The HD 598 didn't sound, but felt tinny, if you know what I mean. I think the clarity of it is... not that great. Vocals don't sound as real...

Simple enough, would you say that the DT 880 PRO would be a good recommendation as someone who loved the DT 990 PRO ?    I've heard people say it sounds same but less bass, but I've also heard people say it sounds quite a bit different after all it is a different headphone entirely.   ...

Hey all, got some DT880/250s 2 weeks ago and I'm loving them. Currently using a Fiio E17 as a DAC and amp. I'm looking to get an ODAC+O2 but I might just get the ODAC and wait for the ODA to come out. I've had some HD280s for about 5 years now and they served me well, but I stopped using them...
