Us Brits are awash with great, great hi-fi manufacturers. We have a decent music business (good musicians and bands, lots of decent pro studios) and loads of audiophiles.   So where are the British headphone manufacturers? We can make headphones amps, but not the headphones themselves, it...

Hi everyone! I'm starting a new thread to compare these three headphones. I'm going to buy a new pair of headphones and i am considering these 3. Basically i will use them with iphone and computers. If you know something about them please let me know. Also, if you have other suggestions don't...

I'm looking for something better for listening at work in a cubicle. Granted, I could probably wear whatever I wanted, but I'd rather not look like a cyberman at work.   I used to have AD700s, which were terrifically comfortable for home use (although I sold them because of the lack of bass)...

Hey guys,     I've just received my new Bowers& Wilkins P5's and I was wondering how/if I should break them in ? I'm a real noob when it comes to this stuff, but I remember someone talking about a program which does it for you ? If so, are there any recommendations on which program I...

  Hi, you may know me as the guy who comes on the forums once each month, pokes around, asks about headphones knowing nothing about anything and then leaves, only to repeat.   Well here I go again, looking for headphones. But this time I know a bit more.   Im looking for some...

I'm sure this question has been debated many times so I apologize for the redundancy.   I'm looking to get a nice pair of headphones based on a few things. Money not being much of an issue, but don't want to spend more than 350-400; ideally less, but want a good pair of cans. To clarify, I...

Advantages of a headphone amp over conventional equipment?   Anyway, I have quite a few headphones now - I'm not an audiophile or 'headphile', just an audio enthusiast.   Denon ADH-2000 B&W P5's Shure SRH-440's and 480s Sennheiser HD555s Grado S60's     Here is some of my...

hey these two seems really equal in price and praise ^_^  they would be a great match against each other. i wonder if anyone had tried them both? any1? im just hunting for fa-004 then i saw these CAL! and they seem really popular as well.   i would  use them at home/portable.. m50 is...

Hi all :) I know this is a subjective thing, but I'm looking for a pair of portable headphones that are not silly looking for use in public cafes.     Things that seem like they fit the bill looks-wise:   Senn PX100, Bose Triports, Bose on-ear.   Anyone have experience with the Senn...

Hello everyone,   I'm new to this site and new to headphones and audio equipment in general.  I picked up the B&O's to use with my iphone/ipad/macbook, and while I enjoyed their realistic sound, they lacked much in the low end.  So I recently got a pair of P5's, and while I love the sound...

Hey everyone, I wanted to gather opinions.   I could get a pair of the B&W P5's for $200 and I heard they were amazing. But...   I'm looking for a pair of headphones that are well balanced, but have a little more bass. (As much I can get without it sounding like jumbled up garbage or...

Hi its been awhile since I visited this site, but the time has come to replace my Shure SE110. They are starting to sound muffle in one side...   Any ways I'll be using my Nokia N900 to run the headphones for now. I do have an archos 70, but my niece pretty much claimed it for her self.. So...

Right so I am on the market for a set of headphones having been looking at reviews going back and forth for the past week now.    I originally had a set of Goldrings NS1000 which were ok I guess but they aren't that well built so had developed cracks and thus have been returned.  I am back...

I recently purchased quietcomfort 15 and beats studio for 349.99 Canadian each to test, and now that I started reading up, Im finding that both dont get that great reviews.  Mainly Im finding that for the dollar value I can be getting much better headphones.  Ive also been told by many to visit...

hi i like to give a nice birthday gift to my gf this year her birthday is in a few weeks time i was thinking about a headphone from monster beats, http://www.allgoods.us/ Wich model do you think are more suitable for a lady??   Thank you

Like I mention in this thread (http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/540138/headphones-with-detachable-wire#post_7284248)   I'm looking for a set of headphones that meet my criteria and I was wondering where the best places to try these products in Montreal? The best buys and future shops here...

Just as the thread title says.    I got this idea after seeing quite a few pictures of people's collections and set ups. I realized that there was no way everyone will put out a review on every single one they own, but if it's small like this, it could give others good ideas on what they...

Over the last several years, the high-end audio industry has taken notice of the growing importance of personal audio. Some of audiophiledom's most revered brands have heeded the call with trick new products purpose-built to work with computers, iPods/iPhones, and, of course, headphones. One...

Introduction   Gone are the days when headphones costing more than a day’s pay were only purchased by audiophiles and music professionals - the revolution in consumer-class portables, started by the likes of Bose and Sony, has resulted in the bridging of the gap between style-focused...

I have bought many pairs of headphones expecting them to be sturdy. I have tried brands known to be "strong" such as skullcandy and beats. My 3 pair of skullcandies all broke, two of which I threw away and one of which I sent in for warranty (SK pro) only to never see again. My beats also just...

^^ just wondering

I am a happy Beyer owner. With all the buzz on the B&Ws I was excited to borrow a co-worker's pair of P5s to compare. The two are pretty close in bass, surprising with the very different design. The B&Ws are more forward in the midrange and little more recessed in the highs. Sound isolation is...

Well, I'm looking into buying myself an early college graduation / late birthday present in a month or so. I suppose now is the time to start doing my research.    Currently, I own Grado SR325is set #1667, as well as a set of SR60's. I have G, L, and S-Cush pads (big bowls, OE bowls, and...

So, I am not quite as into doing the whole review thing as I was a few years back, yet I realised after getting the B&Ws last week that I have three of the main (easy to buy without importing) contenders in the $200-$350 portable headphone range...   Anyways, seeing that I am asking this in...

hey guys, i love my B&W P5, i am looking for a IEM similar to that sound signature. darker sound, low end, but still very natural. Where it adapts to the music i am playing, rather than the music adapting to the headphone. Thanks mates! hopefully you can help. I would go to 200 if needed. but...
