I've had a few headphones, mostly driven by my UDAC 2, but have also played around with various Chinese amps, from the top of my head: AKG 700 - Great soundstage, but too lacking in bass. Denon D2000 - Overall great, but a bit cumbersome and not the best value for money. Sennheiser HD600 -...

Narrowed my choices down to these two. I listen to everything, but I lean towards rap/hiphop and edm. I'm looking for accurate sound, punchy, exciting bass, and wonderful highs and mids. Comfort is important. Which one should I get? 

So I was in the process of moving basically halfway across the U.S., and I lost my all-time favorite headphones, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 (Looked through all the boxes, those headphones are goners). As it is not currently in my budget to just buy another pair, are there any headphones with a...

Hi,   I am looking for a great pair of over the ears headphones for use when traveling.  I am hoping to spend $300 or less and I would like for the headphones to be able to work with my iPhone via bluetooth or cable, and have active noise canceling.  Of course I want them to be super...

Hello everyone. I've been looking for a new pair of headphones since my IEMs recently bit the dust. The only experience I have with headphones is the Pioneer MJ51, which had terrible build quality - one the speakers actually broke off the headband :mad:. So I had to turn to some IEMs that came...

During a recent trip, one of the ear pads of my Creative Aurvana Live headphones - which are OUTSTANDING portable cans, btw - somehow fell off and got lost.  I've searched the forums for possible sources for a replacement pad (only one is missing) - but can't find any.   Can any fellow...

I listen to pop, rock and rap (sorted from the most I listen to the least)   I also hear more ganres but this is the most I hear   Which phones should I take for this ganres?   Grado sr60i   OR   Creative Aurvana Live

Hi all, I recently built a  very decent Gaming PC, and i was wondering what the best headphone/mic or headset setup was for the price range. It will mostly be moderately competitive gaming with friends including games such as:Dayz,BF4,Watchdogs,AC4.... Any help will be very appreciated as i am...

  Impedance: 32ohms (variable volume) Sensitivity: 105dB/mW Cable Length: 1.2m Price: US$199 ($129 now)   The original Creative Aurvana Live! (aka CAL!), which is still available for sale, was derived from Denon D1001/D1000 using Foster drivers.  CAL! is not only cheaper, but some would...

Paid 70 usd with taxes and shipping fee (50 usd product + 14 usd shipping + taxes). I really don't think this is worth 70 usd. I would pay something like 30 USD plus shipping on them (compared to my other headphones).   My other headphones: Sennheiser HD-25 Creative Aurvana Live KSC-75...

Hi all,   I'm technically a new user here, but I've been reading through head-fi threads/reviews for headphones for several years now, and have made a couple of purchases based on people's recommendations that have been really useful. I originally posted this in the recommended newbie forum...

Hi, I just started looking at headphones for the first time and i'm interested in buying some higher quality headphones than the usual in ears I use. I listen to a lot of edm, techno, trance house type of music, probably my most listened to genre, but I also enjoy listening to classical music...

Which one has the best detail, clarity, instrument separation and soundstage for rap/hiphop music and vocals only? Also, which one sounds more neutral?

Is it more on the loose side or is it kind of tight?

So the sibilance and over exaggerated highs on the K540 is a big problem for me. Will the Xonar U3 get rid of those problems?

We've all seen it. For some reason the uninitiated seem to think loud bass is the only thing that makes a good headphone. Even the bassheads among us will admit that bass volume isn't everything; texture, impact, clarity, seperation, coherence, and PRaT all matter greatly, often more so than...

Looking at getting a set of Creative lives, but have seen some reviews on Amazon of the cable being a bit fragile, so if anyone on here has them could they please let me know if its a an issue or not. And would you say there worth the asking price, there technically cheap but its the most o...

So over the past few months I have tried out a number of headphones, all failing on me.   The SR850's - Hated the pads, sock mod fixed this somewhat but the pads kept coming off, leather headband broke after a few months, I hated everything about these other then the sound quality.   The...

What I'm looking for: - costs less than $100 - Decently stylish, but not necessarily glamorous (used both in public and in privacy of home/room, so willing to sacrifice some sound quality to get decent style) - Great overall sound, with emphasis on bass (non-muddy) - Decent sound leakage...

The usual: I've got about £60 to spend and I'm looking for headphones, I would like something with a decent design (I'm a sucker for shiny plastic and LED's), decent comfort but foremost good sound quality (for the price ofc). I'm not an audiophile and good bass is usually enough to make me...

I'm in the category of listeners who are 'treble sensitive.' I love my details, hanker for them really, but simply can't listen for extended periods to any 'phones with a treble boost. I'm wondering what headphones offer the best compromise, ie offer clarity and detail while allowing for...

After the connector on my Creative Aurvana Lives started being faulty I decided to do a full recable with using this thread as guidance http://www.head-fi.org/t/353941/recabling-denon-ah-d1001-d1000. I think I will use Canare L-4E5C Mini Quad but I don't know which size or type of cable sleeving...

I've been lurking head-fi for quite a while, and the forum quite influenced me on my last pickup of IEM's (GR07's) and I've decided to make an account And now, I've decided on getting a full-sized pair, and I'm currently looking at the Senn HD598's Would these be a great pickup, or are there...

Im looking to buy a nice pair of headphones under $300.00. I had beats solo hd's. Which sounded ok to good. I mostly listen to rock hip hop and rap. Im really looking for something loud and that sounds good. Most headphones ive come across, the cheaper ones just dont sound good. Any models or...
