Hey guys,   So, I've been lurking around head-fi for a while now and I've seen several of the "beginners guides to finding the right headphone", but I feel as if the headphones I'm looking for are sort of unique.   Ideally, they'd be a pair of over-ear headphones.    SQ should be...

First, let me clarify the title - I had a listen to these recently in less than ideal conditions (Apple store), an to me there was a clear difference compared to the P5, with the P3 sounding noticeable worse than the P5. So, to me, the P3 sound needs something done to improve it, hence using the...

I received a $50 gift certificate to Crutchfield.com    I'm looking for a new set of portable headphones under $200, so I'd pay no more than $150 ultimately.    I'm considering the Bowers p3. I like how the Grado SR80i sound but they're not really portable in my view, given how large...

Hello,   AvGuide finally posted my review of the B&W P3 headphones. Here's the link   If this is inappropriate feel free to delete ( this post, not the review...:))   Steven Stone

Does anybody have both of these that could give me a good comparison, on sound, build, comfort, and portability? Thanks!

On comfort and sound quality, mostly focused on bass out of the 2, which has more?

Hello,   All in subject really, which are the best quality headphones for use straight out of an iPod using FLAC as source? Without the need for amping.   Will be using these on the tube, so closed back preferable, although I do not mind listening to the music slightly less loud if...

Hey, newcomer to the Headphones world here!   I always used the old Ipod earbud, but now they are broken, so I though about buying a headphone.I like rock music, most grunge, and mpb(brazillian music), also, I am not a competitive player, but I would like to play Team Fortress 2 with the...

I want to get some over ear, closed  headphones for my iPod and computer. Looking for headphones that work well with rap and hip hop that have a good amount of bass that isn't overpowering. But they also have to have some style cuz I'm 15. Headphones I've looked at: audio technica ath m-50...

Just got my hands on this yesterday.  Stay tuned for my impressions.          

Brand new from Pioneer that claims to be "audiophile" grade. Take a look and stay tuned for my impressions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLgijtLaCgI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Ok, let me just start off saying that I am not a big fan of beats (I used to 'til I did more research.) A lot of people that I know either own beats or want beats. My brother already bought beats tour and is planning on buying studio beats. I keep telling him that there are way better...

Five new models - two IEMs, one on-ear, and two over-ear headphones. One of the over-ears are bluetooth compatible, and the other are wired noise canceling headphones. Anyone think they'll be any good? Looks like it's going to be an Apple Store only product, like the B&W P5's and P3's.  ...

I know B&W  will launch the new model P3 in JUNE. Does anyone know what exact date it will be available in stores? Also, where should I go to buy it?

Hey guys! Newbie here. I had recently bought a couple pairs of different headphones that I just hated and returned i.e. Sony (ew I know). I was looking at a pair of B&W P3's and I tried the P5's at the Apple Store. Do you think I'll like them? I'm looking for a forever pair. Thanks in advance.

I have an Ipad, a Fiio E7 and the apple camera kit.   I use this setup to play 24/96 Flac files though my headphones(B&W P3). I use FlacPlayer app and store a limited amount of Flac files on the Ipad as this app does not allow streaming from my NAS.   I also have an Iphone 4s 16gb and I...

So anyone heard of these yet? Rumor has it the sound quality is better than P5 and the bass is very sweet. Size is smaller than the big brother and they can be folded into smaller size for dragging along?

Hi guys,   I need some help with choosing a pair of over ear headphones. i have been lurking in the forums for quite some time now and decided to create an account because there is nobody around me who is knowledgeable about these stuff, and the shop owners just do whatever they can to make me...

As a lot of people have discovered, while an overall nice sound and amazing design, there's a sort of bass bloated-ness that bleeds into the mids with these headphones, and makes for a sort of muffled sound. For many, this is unacceptable in a 200 dollar headset, no matter how well designed.  ...

I'm looking for a closed set since they can't leak much sound and won't be used in a super quiet environment. They will most likely be used unamped so something competent without one would be nice although I would also like there to be some nice improvement with an amp as I own two, just not in...

As the title shows, I'm trying to decide between the V Moda M80s and the Bowers and Wilkins P3s.   These are the qualities I want my headphones to have:   1)  Amazing sound quality (I listen mainly to alternative rock, rock, etc.) 2)  Very high comfort level (comfortable to wear for...

Greetings Soundheads,   I'm looking to get an ultra-portable headphone after years of switching between IEM's (which I've finally decided I can't deal with for comfort reasons) and long cable full-size cans for my commute.   The two models that appeal to me the most are the MEElectronics...

I have done a soft mod after reading about the improvement in trebles when you put the pads upside down. It was working indeed, however magnets wouldn't hold the pads. The problem was about foam absorbing sound waves especially in high frequencies. When you put pads upside down foam part doesnt...

Hi all, I just signed up so I can get some advice from people who love music and have tried all that's out there for a fair comparison.  I went to Best Buy today prepared to purchase some Beats for my 11 yr old nephew for Christmas (don't judge).  When I listened to the sound I felt...
