Hi all,   I am totall newbie in headphones world.   I am quite an expert for all other gadgets, IT equipment and audiophile guy   Since I have small daughter and because she sleeps so much, lol, I'm not able to listen music at right volume :-), and it seems that the only solution is...

Here is my thorough impression of the Shure SRH440. So to begin, I'm just a budding basshead and a virgin to amps and DACS but that does not stop me from enjoying my music. I look for music with a strong melody across a variety of instruments coupled with warm bass, which leads me to like...

  Hello,   I am looking to recommend headphones to my dad. He is interested in the Bose QC15 because of comfort and sound isolation.  Help me offer him something better for the money. His budget is 300$ and i could convince him to spend some of that on an amp.    I am looking...

a weird Bose QC15 thing, I've only noticed it with these headphones... So i was listening to Mt Eden Dubstep which has a strong Bass line. Upon slightly lifting 1 of the earcups to talk with someone, that earcup started to make fart like distortion noises when bass kicked in. Weird? Anyone...

Interesting article posted on audiophilia today regarding the state of headphones.  The guy is making some interesting points, what do you all think?   http://www.audiophilia.com/wp/?p=5306   Headphone Redux February 11, 2011 · 1 comment in Headphones, Misc   by Anthony...

Just wondering,   Both the Beats Studio's and Bose QC 15's are noise canceling but...   I found no ear pressure with the Studios, but find there is a slight pressure with the QC 15's.   Anyone know why this is?

they let me try them with my ipod and man they sounded terrible. i compared them to my shure srh750dj and they sounded muddy and the bass was very fake sounding. i dont understand how anyone could think the beats were the best headphones ever. for 1/2 the price my shures sound so much clearer...

if so what shoudl they be worth. i am pretty sure my 130$ shure srh750dj headphones are better but how do they compare to say 60$ sony or 100$ pioneer. i own the sony mdr xd200 and the pioneer se m390 headphones. how does bose compare to those.

Hello All, I'm brand new here. I just discovered this site via a thread on Audiokarma. I want to get a pair of headphones, but don't really know how to go about picking a pair. I live in Bismarck, ND, so I don't have the option of auditioning any quality cans; I need to buy on-line. I have a...

A little bit about me:   Mostly listening to symphonic/melodic metal and rock. Currently own Bose QC15's and Shure SRH840's. Currently using FiiO E7/E9 combination. I listen to music on a desktop PC and laptop PC, no MP3 player or other portable equivalent. 95% of my music is 320 or...

Tried searching for a thread like this so apologies if I just don't know the right way to find it.  Love this forum to death and spend way too much time wading through it, so I know I'll get straight answers from people who like to talk about headphones.   Comfort is soon becoming a huge...

hi all, im new here and also new to these high end headphones. Im thinking of getting a pair of good headphones. I can get the Beats Studio for 130, ATH-ANC7B for 120, bose qc 15 for 225 + tax. Out of these three, which one would be the best buy? if you have another pair in mind, please don't...

just curious any comparsion between the two?

just curious for its price how good is it compare to other brand with the same prize?

 First of all I just want to say I have recently bought a pair of Monster Beats by Dr Dre Studio Edition, more so for the fashion and style than the audio quality. I have come to fall in love with the tremendous upgrade of sound quality from my stock Apple earphones. Still, I hear people talking...

  So I'm new when it comes to buying headphones and was wondering if someone could recommend some IEM's for under $200. Under $300 if there is a huge significant in sound quality.   I've heard my friend's SE530s for a bit and was impressed, just too expensive.  No experience on what I might...

ok well i receive xmas money every year from my parents and this year i want to buy myself a nice pair of headphones that will last around a year or two. things regarding what i want: 1. i listen to mostly ska, and some hip hop. and a little of all other genres. 2. i prefer over the ear...

I currently have both, and need to return one.   Noise cancellation is not a feature I am interested.   In terms of audio quality, which headphone do you believe is better.  I keep switching between both and they sound very similar.   I listen to mostly Jazz, Country, and...

...So I've asked a few questions, started a thread about getting new headphones and I think I'm all over the place :(  After ALOT of searching, I think I figured out there is no PERFECT headphone for me, so instead of paying full price for something that doesn't completely meet my needs, I have...

I've owned simple ear buds and in ear headphones. i actually bought a pair of fake beats by dre in ear headphones. did the job for a couple weeks then broke but hey, i bought them for $5 lol   I'm definitely going to pick up some headphones. Very tired of ear buds and in ear headphones...

Hi everyone,   I'm trying to decide between the following:   Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7b ($120 on Amazon) Bose QC15 ($300) Klipsch Image One ($150 at Apple Store)   Here's what I'm looking for:   I'm looking for noise-canceling (I know Klipsch is noise-isolating) to help me at...

Hi Guys,   I'm a college student who listens to a ton of music/watches a lot of movies whose looking for his first high-end set of headphones.  These would mostly be used in my dorm and traveling.  The only real 'decent' headphone I've used is the Bose QC 15.  I like the noise canceling but...

i just need nice portable headphones that will let me listen to my music in peace   -comfort mattasss -so does sound!   is the bose or phiaton ps 500 good for electronica/dance/techno

I tried them at Best Buy and I must say that I was VERY impressed by the noise cancellation. Repetitive sound or not, it canceled it out very well. Also, listening to the demo track, I found the headphones to be of a warm character and the highs to be a tad bit grainy. The highs were still not...
