I live in a "small" city in China, so it is unlikely I would be able to do any auditioning.    Currently most of my portable listening is through an iPod Classic / JDS Labs c421 / Sennheiser IE80 (silver cable/LOD and ACS custom sleeves).  Home listening usually on laptop through an...

Hello,   I'm a new user here and before I begin I'd like to mention that I know there's a Recommendation Page here already, but a quick look shows me there's a LOT of information and I know over enough time I could go over it all but in the meantime I'd just like to get some simple...

straight up guys, I'm looking for the headphones with the most bass :P I'm torn between these two because i cant chose one, can you guys tell me which one has more/better/punchy-er bass? (like the thump)    Thanks :'D

Hey guys.   First ever non cheapo cans was a pair of Sennheiser HD 201's. Loved the sound quality vs. cheapos, but they hurt my ears. I extended the pads away from the base, and I guess I have large ears, as the circumference seemed to be too small and caused ear pain after about 20-30...

I love my Sennheiser 598's but I feel for certain types of music they are lacking in bass.  I'm looking for headphones that would go well as a contrast to these headphones, with a budget of up to $300 but not a hard limit.

Hi all!   I am looking for a little advice really on my first pair of expensive headphones. I currently own CAL!, XB500 and D1100. Out of those I like the D110 with a little EQ the best. The reasons being that I like the non fatiguing sound signature, and the extreme comfort I get from them...

Guys, what is the definition of a"fun" headphone, compared to a serious headphone.   For example, I read this opinion:   "...SRH840, smoother, more refined, with best imaging I heard from closed headphone.  Or Shure SRH750 DJ for fun sounding and excellent bass"      I'm looking for...

Hello, I am looking for a full size or even portable amp that can power my Denon d1100s. I mainly listen to soft music (indie, guitar, classic, etc) and was wandering if the wonderful and knowledgable members of this forum could give me recommendations for possibly under 100 dollars. Thanks! 

Hey y'all. Just sold my Denon AH D5000s because they are impractical for me--I need something portable (which is why I love my Pro 900s). My friend who always used my 5000s is upset though because she really loved them. Would you consider the Denon AH D1100 a good replacement for the 5000s? She...

Hey Guys,   I was listening to my Denon AH-D1100 with my iPad. I ran into a wall, and the end of the gold plug broke off. Fortunately was able to get the plug out of my ipad, but now my Denons are broke.   What are my options here? Can i send them back to Denon and have them fix the...

I think so. It has a premium sound and requires NO amp. How can that be beat? It has a very full size sound to it. Now, they don't sound like the refined full sized big boys, but as a potable it has a meaty, fun BUT clear sound. Cons: Not for vocals or bass light recordings. Some rock...
