Tyll Hertsens with Bose QuietComfort 15 ANC Headphones

Hi all,   I have tinnitus, I can hear to it during pin drop silent. I watch movies every day at night and was looking for a headphones. Many people suggested using QC 15 instead of open headphones. (Previously I was using closed ones)   So just few hours back, I brought the QC 15. I...

So I'm a college student who travels a decent amount and I'm looking for headphones that will block out airplane noise and keep out background noise while I study. So far I've narrowed down my search to Bose's QC15 and the much less expensive IEM Etymotic HF5. I really wanna go for the...

So I've decided to get a new pair of headphones, I currently own the B&W P3, but i am not satisfied at all, mostly due to the the mids being to excessed for my liking. My problem is that I wanted something for commuting, as well as home-use, and i can't find any can that meets all of my...

The following table is based on measurements, not manufacturer specs.   Target SPL is 110 dB SPL. The source is assumed to output 2 V. The amp is assumed to be a voltage source (0 ohm output impedance). Voltage, current, power are RMS figures.   What do the columns mean? S@1V is the...

Hi. This is my first post on this forum and I was wondering for some help. I have recently been very intrigued by music and was hoping for some of the best sounding around the ear headphones around the $300 range or less. I am going so far as to only buy CDs for now on instead of iTunes music...

  Hello! Let's talk about the model akg k 495nc. I know that it is not yet widespread, but I'm very interested to hear a little about this model. And your opinion about it. I'm curious to know about the quality of its sound and power of the bass. well I'm interested in noise reduction...

Hi all, I've recently purchased a Sony Playstation Pulse wireless headset on a whim (paid about $130 after tax) and I regret my decision now that I've realized that 7.1 only works with a PS3 (I sold my PS3) and that I really should be getting something for noise cancelling. I have about...

First review so bare with my ramblings and lack of use of "buzz" words   I had heard a lot about PSB's first venture into headphones and although I'm a tad late on the uptake and impressions have been well documented, I felt I still wanted to share my thoughts.   I hear some would have...

To get this out of the way, I am considering "low end" to be around and below 400$, and these headphones I have selected are what are available to me the most easily, which leaves me with very commercialized and mainstream headphones popular with people who aren't very particular about sound...

I want to buy sr125e but I see that it is on-ear which I worry might give too much pressure to the ears and hurt them on the long run.  I used to have a noise cancelling Bose (QuietComfort 15) and it was pretty comfortable to wear but it had a strange ear pressure (not on the ear itself but the...

I just got my first pair of non-apple earbud headphones and I am new to changing the equalizer, so I have a question!   I was randomly searching on the internet and found this http://www.43folders.com/2007/08/27/perfect-itunes   I tried it and it sounded great with my new headphones...

Hi everyone my name is Theexxx and I am pretty new to Head-fi and I have a question to ask.     What are the best gaming earbuds? Such as noise canceling, beautiful surround sound, and fit (for long gaming sections).    Thanks guys I am excited for your results.   Theexxx

Hello to everyone   As a new member, the pursuit of audiophile nirvana has led me to your door. I hope someone is in.....   Forgive me for my sins, but presently I am the proud owner of an Ipod nano and Bose QC 15's. Gasp, horror....no! Well, for my office environment and my fear of...

Love my Denon D2000 but just to large for walking around town abd on the plane. Anything else I could buy? Say around $300

I would appreciate anyone who can assist me with weeding out my headphone collection.   I currently own:   Beyer Dynamic DT 1350 Sennheiser HD 25 ii  Parrot Zik Beats By Dr Dre Pro (Detox Limited Edition) Bose Q15 2  Beats By Dr Dre Studio (1 in white & 1 blk) 2  Bower &...

I have a pair of the QC15's that I got as a gift, however I'm not terribly impressed with them especially when it comes to studying in the library, or blocking out roommate noise when I'm trying to sleep. Problem is, I don't have anything to really compare them to. I do like the design however...

Dear experts,   I'm trying to get some advice exactly for what the title says :-) just because I'm not comfortable with reviews elsewhere before making a big purchase. This is a lower domain (if I may say so) for Head-Fi experts, that is why I want you guys to come down a little – forget...

Hi! Ii'm currently looking for some new headphones. What i'm looking for in theese headphones are a good and solid bass, noise cancelling ( always nice to shut the rest of the world out ;)), and a well balanced tune. Good looking is always a positive thing. i'm thinking the cost should be...

Can be $200-300 give or take I don't mind.    I mainly listen to Hip Hop, Rap, and Pop. So good bass is a plus. I have a pair of Beats Mixrs and while I think they sound great I am going into a career soon and I am getting older. I don't see myself wearing these around the office and I still...

If noise canceling designs have a built-in amp, are they designed to be used with a headphone jack or can they be used with an adjustable line-level? I assume a dedicated amp is not needed, but are there any known impedance considerations with feeding one line-level? Is the performance better...

I just got $300 to spend at the Apple store.  I think I want headphones, and they sell what have been my Holy Grail, the B&W P5.  But I'm going to open this up to anything the Apple store sells in the same price range.  Audio source is an iPhone 4, and I have no interest in keeping an amp...

Hi! First of all, I want to thank you guys very very much for all the wealth of information you so selflessly provide here. I would be lost completely if it weren't for you.   Now, I have a pair of Bose QC 15, or at least had, until wife got them on her side of the desk. So, I need new...

Hey everyone! I've been looking around online and I'm debating what type of over ear headphones I should get. I have the Denon AH-NC800's and they are alright, but I'm looking for something new now. For a while I've been really looking at the B&W P5's, they look great, I went to the store to...
