Hello, I am new to head-fi and I currently own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-PRO5V and I would like to upgrade to something else. A common issue on this headphones was the actual build quality of the headphones. The cups are ripped and the headphones are uncomfortable. The sound quality is...

I have used many headphones brands over the years for Street use quality mostly Koss,Sennheiser and Sony   Currently I use Sennheiser PX100 II which is great for Pop and some Bassy Dance music, and yea i'm a basshead.   Recentnly i got Denon D5000 (jena cabled with furutech conector) ...

Hey guys,       Here is my situation....     I am a college student living in a duplex with 3 up top with me and two downstairs. There is usually a decent amount of noise in the house with this situation. Which is why I'm a little hesitant to get open cans, but I have never had...

the only time my listening gets "loud" is the occasional big band, classical orchestra. even my pop/rock stuff is from the 50's 60's and 70's. i've had a number of sennheisers and loved them all, px100, sp 25, 550, 210. i have a denon 1001, etynomics. as you can see i try to keep the purchases...

V-MODA Crossfade LP Metal Headphone Sennheiser HD 439 Headphones   Grado Prestige Series SR80i Stereo Headphone   These three are the ones Ive been looking at, any other suggestions?  I listen to soft rock to metal and everything in between, and I am a bit of a gamer.   Thanks

Just wanted to point out a not very well known site that i think is great for buying headphones. They have very good prices, especially on the refurbished phones. Refurbs are essentially new, but much cheaper. I got my HD428's for $24 and love them.   No, I'm not affiliated with them, I just...

I woke up today to find my headphones only working in one ear (I just left them on my desk like I always do, however, they are always plugged in)   Some of the symptoms:   I only hear sound in one ear (That is, I hear ALL sound in one ear, it goes mono, and I can hear all sound meant...

Hi all,   Last summer, my girlfriend bought me some Beats Solos. I am not a big fan of them and I do not really like them. However, I didn't have any other headphones at the time and I kept them to make my girlfriend happy.   Now, I am ready to upgrade my cans. I just moved into a new...

Hey, I am now looking for a pair of new headphones since my headset just died on me and I realize I don't really need the mic. So for the moment I'm using a cheap $30 earbuds and sounds in general sound really lacking. So, I'm looking for some advice of what you people here would recommend me. ...

I'm really new to the world of music. I've browsed through the site and found it very informative. Although I'm still stumped and in need of assistance. I own a pair of Bose AE2 headphones and the chord has broke twice since I bought it a while back. I wouldn't know much but it seems too fragile...

hello i'm planning to buy c751, i wonder if it sounds similar to d1000 / d1001 / CAL ? and i wonder will it scales up nicely if amped? thanks!

I am choosing between the Audio Technica ATH-M50 and the Sony MDR XB700. I mainly listen to hip hop so i want a good bass. Also, any other suggestions that I havent listed?

Ive currently got some sennheiser px200 and sony mdr v700's, and i dont really like either, im looking for more detailed sound. i am not going to be using an amp, not at the moment anyway! i listen to dubstep and a lot of chilled. basically all i want to know is if the HD380 pro's are a lot...

Hi there, can you please tell me which of these headphones are the best overall for home use? not taking into consideration the music i listen to or anything like that, just statistically:   Sennheiser HD 380 pro Denon D1001 Sony Mdr V700 DJ   Thanks guys

I think this thread should be a little different than most headphones recommendation threads... A couple months back I picked up an electronic drum kit (Yamaha DTXpress iv special, if there's any curious E-drummers here). Luckily, I already had a bit of an arsenal of headphones to pick...

Hi there, i had some sony mdr v700's and they have recently broken, i think they may have been fake! For my next headphones,i want some headphones with a much higher sound quality, everytime i go into HMV or somewhere they have headphones to test and their always so amazing! I like full size...

Are these decent?   I don't need any sound isolation or portability but it would be nice.   I will be playing mainly adventure RPG games, with a bit of FPS; and have found these for £55

Just wonder if there are any good all round cans you can recommend. Like ive heard that the Shure SRH750DJ';s are pretty good for modern music like hip hop, pop and electrop dubstep sorta stuff. I heard that the Denon D1001's are pretty decent as well. Since im planning on getting a pair, im...

Hey Guys. I've been browsing around for a little while and I'm having trouble finding a replacement to my Sony MDR 7506 headphones. I found them comfy and decent for isolation, however I'm fully aware that I've probably been missing out on most of music listening experience with them (although...

I'm looking for new a new headphone again. I've had JBL-Reference 420's for about 1,5 year, and now they are broken down for the second time...So I lost trust in these ones, and now I'm heading for new ones.  So what do I want:P First, to start of, what do I own: Main audio source: Cowon...

I have a pair of Denon d1001's from a couple yrs ago and I'm wondering how the ultrasone HFI-780 stacks up against it. It seems to me like some of ultrasone's "technologies" that they put into their hfi series are pretty gimmicky but i don't know because I've never listened to any of them. How...

I currently have Creative Aurvana Lives, and I'm thinking of upgrading to some AHT-M50s. Recently I heard some people on this forum say their M50s sound different because they were in a white or black box. Is there any truth to this?   Also, is there any difference in sound quality between...

I'm in the market for my first pair of "quality" cans (currently own the discontinued Senn HD497's, which are falling apart). I listen almost exclusively to modern rock music. My highest priority is that they sound good, clear, and forward with heavy rock music along the lines of Tool, Porcupine...

I'm looking for a portable headphone similar to my D7000'sbut not exactly like them.   Closed.  Good isolation, both for external sounds and for leakage.  Less present bass, a bit more present mids.  The same wonderful, detailed but not brittle highs.   Over the ear, not on the ear...

Hi all - long time lurker here!   My browser crashed when I was in the middle of writing this post so this rewrite might be really succinct.     Currently, I am using a pair of Shure SRH 440's. I love the design of these headphones. They look very nice, can be folded, and have a cool...
