Hi there,   I'm trying to buy a set of new earphones and I really need your advice.   Currently, I own pair of brainwavz m4 but the left side of the earphone stopped working recently. I believe it's caused by the cable that bends around the jack so I'm thinking to get one with straight...

In my new job, I spend 1/2 to 3/4 of my workday in a huge (20,000+ square foot) raised floor server farm environment.  The noise levels are incredible.   I'm hoping to find a solution that will provide: maximum noise isolation ability to listen to spoken word podcasts and some music  ...

New guy post...Finally :)   Been a long time lurker on here, but finally decided to make an account and rant/inquire about higher end IEM's.   So, I always used a Bose QC15 when out and about because of the noise cancellation and decent sound quality, although as most of you know it's not...

I'm a frequent flier and am looking for a headphone that cancels noise but has great sound. I've heard the Bose QuietComfort's have the best noise-cancelling but not the greatest sound. What headphone, in your opinion, has the best of both worlds? I'm not looking to spend more than the Bose's...

What are some good IEMs out there that offer good noise isolation + comfort.  Both of these two things are very very important to me.  I have been reading that earbuds offer more comfort than IEMs, is that true?  I don't even know if IEMs is what I should be looking at if I'm after noise...

Hey Guys / Gals,   Could anyone please recommend a portable set of headphones that support bluetooth?   I have read / watched so many reviews on so many different headphones lately its sick. I can not come up with a single pair of cans that really shine when it comes to bluetooth...

Hi All,   So I don't know if I can officially categorize myself as an audiophile since oh man are there some crazy music lovers out there. =)  But I come pretty close.  I live in headphones whether its listening to music, watching movies, tv shows, etc.  I feel like I'm going through so many...

Hi, I was wondering what headphones have the best noise isolation / cancelation or ambient noise attenuation? Thank you very much.

I need budget priced headphones so i came down to these two.

I have always been fascinated by noise cancelling (NC) headphones.  But whenever I tried them (perhaps for the first time decades ago and usually at the Sharper Image) I was always disappointed that they only cancelled low frequency sounds. They did nothing about voices or unwanted outside...

Alright, so the current pair of cans I own are Bose's QC15 cans, for those of you who don't already know, and basically I'm in pursuit of something bigger and better that also costs less. I'm considering Grado's SR60i or maybe Sennheiser's HD518 or 558. I'm going to try and test any pair of...

Rules Just like any other HEAL/HURT game, except with headphone models. Let's see what's Head-Fi's fav. Add one point to the model you like saying HEAL, and remove one from the one you don't like saying HURT. All models start with 10 life. Just copy the last post and add your votes in it; would...

Hi Guys,   Long time lurker here.   I don't really have the audio vocabulary that most of you guys throw around here and there, but I'm attempting to learn. At any rate, I'm looking for a new pair of headphones and am currently in possession of Audiotechnica AT-Pro700's from about 3...

Hi I this is my second post here. Hope I do it better this time. I am a noob hearer, looking for a some headphones. I live abroad so, I can't physically try much before buying, and we also don't have the option of returning them, unless of course its faulty. I have tried the Bose Q15 for a few...

Hi Guys   I know your not a big fan of Bose in this forum however I've purchased these (from ebay..) because it does the noise cancelling so well, I've been reading online there are fakes of the QC15 which look very similar to the real thing, question was is there the same issue with QC3? if...

Sorry for the repost, but I didn't get too many responses in the recommendations thread...   I've been a silent reader on these forums and am looking for some help as I'm far too confused at this point! I'm looking for a set of headphones within the $300-400 range.  I have a marantz...

I have the hfi 580 and i have had my friend listen to them (he likes dubstep and electronic just like me) but he INSISTS that bose is much better. Technically he has only heard 300$ and 1000$ bose which i can understand him thinking that from listening to those but what my question is, is would...

I mostly watch movies on my laptop, so I wanted headphones that are super comfortable considering I'll have it on for long periods of time, also, I am only looking for circumaural headphones that have a really refined soundstage and possibly don't leak out too much sound, as I tend to watch...

The cable on my Bose AE2s recently broke, and I'm using this as an opportunity to try new things out.  I'm not an audiophile that can tell the nit picky differences between headphones.  Equal to or better quality than the AE2s are fine.  I ride the bus for about two hours every day, so a good...

Hi guys, I just bought the Bose QC15's yesterday after having trouble deciding between the Bose QC15's and the Audio Technica M50's Limited Edition. I know that the sound quality of the Audio Technica are superior to the Bose; however, the AT was too uncomfortable for me. So, I went with the...

Hi, I am looking for headphones with a good ability to isolate from noisy environments. I tried Bose QC15, but I felt sick after wearing them for a while, so I want to try some with passive noise reduction. Can anybody give me recommendations?

I'm looking for a pair of good over the ear headphones. I would prefer noise canceling, but not critical. My 2 main priorities are comfort (I have a really cheap pair of over the ear headphones now and I can't wear them for longer than 15 minutes without my ears hurting) and quality sound ( I...

Or are they just another pair of crappy overpriced cans with cool looking features?

Hello, all. In my last post I asked for help on what headphones to get. I decided to take a leap and get the Sol Republic Tracks HD. For all of you that are iffy on whether or not to try this pair of cans, I will give an honest review on what I think of them.   Saturday afternoon, I went to...

An universal with identical internal components to a custom should provide near identical sound if both have a perfect fit.    So I don't believe a duo driver custom will sound better than a trip/quad driver universal when both have a good seal.    And customs can't be shared with others and...
