Hello all. New around here and looking for some suggestions on headphones.   First, my current cans are Grado SR80s, which I highly enjoy. In fact these are my 2nd set of Grados and Grado is the only brand of headphones I've been using for the past 8 years or so.   The main reason I'm...

I've had a pair of Denon AH-D1001 for almost three years now. They are my first pair of headphones costing more than about $20. I've been using them without an amp. They've revolutionized the way I listen to and appreciate music. However, they have taken some bumps over the years, due in part to...

Hello there, i need help on choosing my next headphone since i'm gonna sell my Momentums, which i didn't like and don't think are an "audiophile" hp at all. I listen to Rock, Metal, and occasionally Eletro music. I Would like a headphone with good detail and soundstage and with strong bass if...

Greetings fellow music lovers   I recently got myself a pair of IEMs - the Monster MDT's - and I'm loving them so far. They are very enjoyable to listen to - very "alive" sounding and offer me a great option when I want ultra portability. But I can't help but feel something is missing...

I am looking for a good portable can that is very comfortable and isolates a ton of noise. These two seem like very good candidates, and I was wondering which one you think I should get. I listen to mostly rock, with a little bit of pop.

Okay so I'm looking for some new headphones; They have to be closed over my ears. Price under $250 Able to drive sound from an iPhone Stay on my head (I'll be working out with these on) Durable. The types of music I listen to is Trance and Hip Hop. I listen to all other types of...

Hey Head-fi'ers   I'm looking to get a portable for my Beyerdynamic DT 1350. I listen to primarily rock, metal and ska, with the occassional pop, hip hop and rap.    Don't want to break the bank, but I don't know the average cost either, help would be appreciated. 

Hi guys, I'm new to high end audio stuff but right now I'm looking to buy a new headphone and I know that you guys are the most experienced people I can ask. Right now I'm using a Sennheiser HD 595 but I'm looking for a portable headphone that isolates well and if possible have around the same...

Hi, I am looking to invest in a quality headphone and I am torn between the two.     I'm planning to use the headphone mainly with my iPhone (using a 30-pin line out) and laptop to play FLAC files (I listen mainly to hip hop, dubstep, hard rock, classical rock, and classical music), paired...

Hey everyone. I'm a bit of a lurker, but decided to finally sign up because I need some advice on buying a portable headphone. My Sennheiser px-100 broke the other day so I'd like to step up and replace them with something better. I've been thinking about getting an Audio Technica -ESW10, but...

I have a freakishly small pea head and most headphones look very awkward on me. I'm limited to online shopping so its very difficult for me to find something that fits correctly so as of right now, I value the headphone's look more so than the specifications. The only headphones that I look...

My T1 is one of my favorite headphones ever. I like the Beyer sound signature (also own the fantastic DT 880/600 ohm and the DT 1350).   But when i watched some photos of the disassembled headphone, i noticed that the T1 has no dampening material, only plastic.   This is different from...

I'm working on a project and need some suggestions for open and closed headphones in the $300-$500 range. Thanks!

I've decided to do a shootout amoung a number of popular cans: Sennheiser HD25-1-ii Sennheiser HD25-13-ii (600 ohm version of the above) Beyerdynamic DT1350 Beyerdynamic T50p Pioneer HDJ-2000 Pioneer HDJ-2000mod...

Hi, I'm looking for a set of portable closed-back headphones, as I travel long distances on public transport relatively frequently and I want to be able to listen to my music without disturbing anyone or being disturbed. Any recommendations? Goes without saying that sound quality comes first and...

I travel a lot for work and have used Shure e5C in-ear monitors for years with my iPod loaded with lossless files.  Used Shure E3s before that.   Am thinking I'd like to switch to an on-ear, rugged, portable HP.  Have been reading a lot about the Beyer DT 1350s and Senn HD-251 II.  Are there...

Not 'can I use an amp', but 'do I need an amp'. Also, does this change with Rockbox?

Hi Everyone,   I am thinking of purchasing the ATH-ES10 but just had a few quick questions. How is the sound straight out of an ipod or computer? If I buy an amp such as the D-Zero or E11 will that be enough to get quality sound or will I need a better amp, or does it not matter much with...

So I've been looking everywhere and I cant seem to find a general discussion about the "best" portable headphone/ iem that are actually reasonably priced. (If there is one I apologize)   For the most part I would be willing to look into anything, as long as its closed. (Over ear, on ear, in...

Hi Everyone, I have a couple of questions regarding some headphones and amps. Let me just give you a quick background and hopefully you can help me out. I've explored this site somewhat on and off for some time. About 3 years ago (maybe more) I did alot of research especially on this site and...

Moved to appropriate subforum. Please delete this mods.   I'm very new to the world of hi-fi music. I only just bought my first batch of CDs (was a pirate before) and learnt all about ripping and encoding and was amazed at how good a FLAC could sound compared to an MP3 I downloaded.  ...

  Hi all.   I'm new to Head-Fi, and I'm an absolute noob with these sort of things, so any help and advice will be greatly appreciated! I've recently started paying attention to music quality, and now that I have a job I've stopped pirating music and am buying CDs, and ripping as...

I'm looking into getting some new headphones next week before I travel to Canada. I LOVE my HD25s and I'm not getting rid of it (I also have some M50s for home but I don't travel with these).   However I would really like something similar witha slightly wider soundtage, and I could...
