edit- Jus saw the post about not posting new threads regarding headphone advice....sorry.  Disregard this if its in the wrong place.      Hey there! I am lookin to purchase my first pair of audiophile headphones. I am a huge noob, but I love music and figured I should invest in a good pair...

Which one is better, QC3 is more expensive but QC15 seems to have more feature

  For years I have been told by Head Fi that never get Bose, Bose sucks, Bose is overpriced and I completely ignored Bose. Always managed my long flights with in-ear monitors (Westone 3) but living in NYC, the passive Noise cancelling just wasnt cutting it for me. I always liked the noise...

I have been so excited to get myself a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 15s tomorrow but i've been researching and people say there are so many better options ... I will be using them to listen to music on planes sometimes, but also to record my own music so i want something that has noise...

I want to buy my first pair of full size headphones and keeping noise out is a pretty high priority for me. I'm aware IEM would do a better job of this but i'm really quite keen on the idea of full cans. So far the M50's look like they'll suit me perfectly but i need to know how much noise they...

Hi everyone! I just need some quick advice as I've been searching the internet for reviews of on/around the ear headphones (preferrably noise cancelling), which cost NO greater than $300, that look stylish and I'm stumped. EVERY set I come across has its' negative reviews and they are almost ALL...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum... As said in the thread title, I'm looking for orchestral music.... I'm listening to x-ray dogs and other artist and I want to enjoy better the sounds, can you help me?   Ty guys

Hello, i am looking for a verry nice pair of headphones. i am looking to spend no more than $300 but if the quality is that much better i could spend a little more.  i use my headphones mostly on my ipod but sometimes on my computer.  please tell me your sugestions on headphones, and what do...

I'm a noob here at head-fi but I've been lurking and searching for a while but I can't find anyone with my same needs and tastes. I'm complicated it seems. First off I consider myself an audiophile in that I love great sounding audio, whether it be movies, music or games. As for my tastes...I...

i decide to get a headphone. i used to listen to rap and hip-hop music. i look thru the forum, and i found some headphone that might be good for rap and hip-hop. i like it to have more bass and sound quality are good. Also have decent noise cancellation.   phiaton ms400 v-moda...

Newbie here, and thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier first posting on this full size headphone forum, "Convince me not to buy the Bose QC 15's." I have done a ton of reading on these forums, and with so many detailed opinions and reviews, I've decided on getting a pair of the ATH...

  I've heard many audiofiles rip on bose saying it's overhyped and all marketing, etc, and that their sound quality is inferior to shure, sennheiser, etc, but for what I'm looking for, (active noise isolation and bass) I doubt there is anything out there on the market for 300 that can match the...

The combo has to be a total of $600 and this includes the used price in FS section as $600 used combo MAY be much better than new combo for $600.   Priorities   1. overall sound quality, it needs to sound like a high-end headphone transparent, great clarity, non sibilant 2. good bass...

I'm planning to get a pair of headphones that offer clear deep bass sound but also great mids and highs, I have no knowledge about headphones on the market, I'm so confused about the Beast Studio, Bose QC15, Ultrasone Pro 900, Pioneer HDJ-1000, Sony XB1000. Which one fit me the most?  ...

I'd love some opinions/answers on something I've been thinking about. First of all, I've seen many people saying that the Sennheiser HD 598 sound quality is very close to both HD 558 and HD 518. I've also seen/heard (and forgive me if it appears a random train of thought) some people claiming...

I am relatively to new to the world of headphones, and I currently have the Bose IE 2. I was thinking about getting a pair of full-size headphones; either the Bose QC 15 or the Denon AH-D2000. I would use these headphones at home or for the next 4 years of my life in a boarding school dorm...

    I currently have the P5's but thinking of switching to the Bose QC15 because the P5's are not very comfortable if worn more than a few hours at a time.  I tried the QC15's at the store and over the ear design seems to be my best bet, but I'm concerned about the Audio Quality.  I don't...

I am looking for a pair of closed headphones around 100-200 dollars.  Noise cancelling would be helpful but not needed. I am looking for very good sound for the price. I will be using these for bus and airplane trips but also every day doing homework. Looking for good balance and accurate and...

It's my birthday today, so I was thinking of buying myself a present. I've been doing research for the past weeks on headphones, but I finally gave in because I am having a hard time making a decision. I had originally planned on spending $300 on the Bose QC15 because the Beats by Dre clearly...

Hi guys,   I was wondering if I could get some advice, I am in the market for a set of headphone in the 250-300 range. I have my eye on the Monster Inspirations or Bose QC15. I will be using them with my ipad and laptop for music and movies. Are these good or should I be looking at something...

Just a quick thread to see what your opinions are. I personally have tried both and think that they offer the same noise cancellation in terms of canceling noise. However, I do think that the Able Planet's sound a tad bit better. I'll post a video soon.  

Hi,    First time poster here. I am a college student and am looking into buying a good pair of over the ear headphones to study with and I just wanted to you your opinions on what to get. I am looking for something that will let me study and zone out distractions in the library or in the...

Wasnt sure if this should be in this section or the regular headphones portion.   I am hoping for some advice and/or direction.  I want to get a new set of headphones and was going to go with the Bose QC 15 over ears because the on ears make my ears sore on long flights (15+hours).  Then I...

I currently have Bose QC15 and I'm not gonna lie, I do quite enjoy the sound. Its warm and detailed. BUT I am aware of the colouring in the sound, and I don't think there is enough impact to the sound, just from bass. As I'm looking to get M50s, what should I expect in differences in the sound...

Ever since everyone at my school now own Beats, i have been looking for an alternative to beat them out. I first started with the Denon AH-D2000. I liked these but i think that the Sennheisers may be better. Im looking in terms of sound quality and performance as well as noise cancellation on...
