For home use in private is there any reason to use closed back headphones?. Let's assume ideal open back headphone conditions. What SQ advantages do closed back headphones have. I can't imagine any and yet people buy high end closed back headphones for home use, even when they own other high...

I've been researching many hours so far and haven't found anything that stands out. I know everyone's ear is different and is looking for different qualities. I'm looking for something that is closed back, so I can track, but also for referencing while I listen back to a track. I want the...

I'm searching for the one for all headphone where the focus will be single player games (Action/Adventure/RPG) and movies/tv shows (music would be secondary in this case). I have these in mind: Open back: Phillips Fidelio X2: I've tried them and they sound amazing, very wide soundstage and a...

Will be using it for commute and work. Should be efficient but would also scale well when used with an amp. I know soundstage and closed back is almost like an oxymoron, but it should at least have decent soundstage and not unnatural soundstage. I like neutral or near neutral, balanced sound...

The new Spirit Torino Radiante closed-back headphone with external passive radiator, a new headphone out of Italy, just won the Gold award at the 2019 Fujiya Avic headphone festival in Tokyo for headphones over 200,000 yen. We had a demo of this headphone recently and I was sad to see it go...

What's up, guys? I need a headphones to travel with, but suitable for audio works (mixing, editing) as well. So, DJ cans or gaming headphones are not an option. Preferably in a higher end of the line compared to my MDR-V6 and AKG k240. It should be a closed back design and must be foldable. My...

Heya, I want to try something more dense than my current SRH1540, something with better isolation, sub bass extension and low distortion. My current DAC is the Opus#11 (awesome dac for the size). Budget is around 500-ish USD, could go a little higher if it's really worth it. Thanks in advance! :)

I am getting a pair of headphones to replace an old Logitech pair and thought to buy a little more fidelity this time and not gaming gimmicky headsets. I have it down to these two... The Cooler Master MH752 are basically slightly tweaked Takstar Pro82. My First and highest concern is comfort...

Hey guys, obviously I'm new here, but i was looking to get my first "audio setup" as far as a pair of over $150 headphones, and also my first amp and dac. I've already done my research and decided on a Fiio k3 (sorry if some of the names i list are off, I'm going off memory) for the amp/dac...

Hey all, I've been searching for new headphones to replace my second pair of ATH-m50s for months now. I loved the things but the second pair just broke and I think it's finally time for an upgrade. I record ambient music, so the more neutral, the better, though I'm far from opposed to more...

Hey head-fi, so I have been using my DT770 80 ohms for a while now and I really love them. But I want to expand my closed back options but couldnt decide on what to get. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should try next?

Hi, im looking for a good closed back headphone for mainly gaming but music and movies as well. About 50% Gaming 30% Music and 20% Movies. I would use them for singleplayer games like Metro Exodus, so im more interested in an immersive experience as opposed to competitive gaming. Im not...

I meant the 177x Go. Go? Just judging by the FR charts, it looks like they corrected the 1770s in exactly the way I would have wished for. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-beyerdynamic-dt177x-go-headphones

As the title states I am looking at which to choose between this 2. I listen to alot of hip hop,EDM,rock and a mixture of others BUT NOT CLASSICAL , opera and other genre like them. I also play games so I was hoping this good an average soundstage but with good imaging. Which would more suit my...

So I go from an office with a bunch of loud talkers to a home full of loud talkers and kids who love to make noise. I am looking for a pair of headphones that can passively reduce noise so that some reasonable volume of noise can drown out that ambient noise. So I am looking for some closed...

Hello there, I am looking for a pair of headphone that is closed back, over-ear and portable (better to be foldable). Basically, I am really into the sound of my ad2000x but there is no way I can bring it to work, so I did some research and bought the se535 for its similar sounding to the...

Hi all. I'm on the market for a pair of closed headphones. I'm mostly looking for comfort and ease of listening as I'll be wearing these at work for 6-8 hours a day, as well as on the metro. I'm less so picky about the sound signature aside from that. Not a bass-head, and already have a pair...

Hi Head-fiers, I first made a post like this a few months ago. I'm starting a new thread because I'm still looking for my dream headphone, but now I have more knowledge about what I want. I'm looking for a closed back headphone that can be driven by my phone, and under $400. I've tried lots...
