Hey Head-fi, just want a quick input on my next upgrade. I'm currently using two main headphones - the Denon D5000 and AKG K701, hooked up to an O2 amp. I don't have enough cash for high-end stuff, but I'm looking at headphones around the $400-700 range.   TBH, this will be my first purchase...

Hello fellow members ... I've enjoyed reading The forums the past few days but I think I've reached info overload and need a little help narrowing down my choices. My purpose for headphones primarily is home entertainment ie movies and gaming and some music. With that said I also want to use...

Sorry, slight change to my original post (which sadly got no answers)   I am between these three phones, mostly for electronic music (rev 2 is outside my budget)   any input is greatly appreciated...as a reference I have owned markl modded d5000's which I quite liked and really enjoyed...

What are the best bass headphones? This is the hunt for the "Top 10" Bass headphones on the consumer market. The list will be compiled and based on identical set-ups (or similar) and tracks with identical Eq sloping/boosting...

Hi all,   As per the Title, I am looking to invest in a pair of cans that will be great for bass music and that are somewhat "closed" so that they are portable and so people around me can't hear my music. The sound and bass is more of a priority than the "closed" criteria, just putting it...

I have been reading non stop for a week on these forums and I think ive narrowed it down to 4 unless you guys suggest another one that I will have to read about LOL   AKG K550 Beyer T70P Denon D5000 Ultrasone Pro 900   Ive read they are all different sounding and they all excel at...

Ok I listen to dubstep and artists like armin van burren. I want to buy great headphones.  Budget is up to $500 or a little more if they are nice.

I had to sell my Ultrasone 900 Pros because of college but I now have enough to buy them again, I was wondering if there is anything on the market with a similar signature. I can try to explain what I loved about them but I'm not sure I will word it right.   The low bass was detailed and...

My teammate is seeking closed headphones strictly for gaming for less than $150 max.   Preferences: Good isolation (We play in big lan centers/events with lots of excessive noise) No modifications required (Plug and play preferred) Soundstage comparable to open (I know this is abit...

Post headphones that sound like they cost twice as much as they do! Any price range is fine, just post headphones that sound significantly better than average headphones at the same price range.   I'll start, Superlux HD668B. No, it's not the best headphone ever, but holy crap does it sound...

Hi I want to upgrade my Ultrasone Pro 900 to a Denon phone. I've been researching and I've been getting a lot of differences between these two phones on genres of music that aren't EDM. I just wanna know which of the two would produce the better sound for EDM like dubstep, house, trance, glitch...

Hi,   So I've been the happy owner of a pair the Audio Technica's mentioned above for some time now. A HUGE thank you to everyone on the boards that helped guide me to that decision. I have absolutely loved the headphones since purchase.   That said, I think it's time for me to get...

Hi all,   I have a Yulong D100 MKII on order and should arrive soon. Wondering if anyone has tried this amp/dac with the Hifiman HE-500? Is this a sufficient amp/dac to generally get the most out of the HE-500? If not, what are your recommendations of an upgrade (without exceeding $1000)...

Denon AH-D400 or Hifiman HE-400   I mainly listen to electronic music with bass and vocals. It is so hard to make up my mind and I can only afford one pair at this time.     Thanks!         Which one would you choose?

My friend is looking for a pair of headphones around the 600 dollar range with his highest priority being soundstage.  He's running 3x2000rpm CPU fans so he'll also be looking into headphones with good isolation and does not like IEMs/earphones.   Besides the Denon D7000 are there any other...

I've been using the LCD-2 rev2 with a Lyr (Lorenz tubes) and bifrost (recent) for about a year as my only real headphones. I've owned the HD800's in the past and really enjoyed them for the level of detail, soundstage, and space. I've kept the LCD-2 so long because they have great emotion...

This is gonna be  bit of a rant here but I feel it needs to be done. If your easily offended leave now or just skip the rant section.   NB Trying for yourself is not always possible, although its the most desirable situation. This is aimed to guide people along what lines they must think...

I know this is probably a silly question coz a headphone like LCD2 is probably for someone who listens to instrumental music but im really interested in it! What im looking for is beautiful, rich, deep, punchy bass, (not beats kind) good detail, natural sound! i own sennheiser HD25 and...

Can you please recommend HP's which fit the Thread Title criteria. I tried HD650's but they were too dark for me. I have the AH-D5000 & love them, so was basically looking for a similar sound in an open can.

Hello there, I am looking to buy a pair of closed headphones that will go well with my NuForce Icon HDP amp. After looking around through a couple of "closed headphones" threads, here on the Head-Fi forums, I have my eye on a few pairs, although I am not quite sure which would fit me best. I am...

What are good headphones for metal music besides Grados?

At last, here is my coveted "go to" EQ setting that really makes the Q40 sing like the proverbial "Golden Canary". I am using an E11 set to "H" gain with a "0" colorless curve. -3.5 114 Hz +4.1 383 Hz -4.7 889 Hz -1.3 4375 Hz -4.7 9427 Hz +2.1 19.7 kHz At this setting, in my...

All,   I'm back from my regular 2-3 year hiatus from this board.  My last incursion brought me the JH16Pros (to replace SE530s which replaced UE10s which replaced every other headphone in/out production in 2004) and Sennheiser MX980s (which replaced broken Yuin PK1s which replaced my...

Was looking for a pair of cans that had similar frequency response to the Sennheiser 650s but closed back. I really like what I have seen/heard from them but my one big problem is that they are open back and consequently have lower bass and are really hurting in the sub bass area. This is no...

I have the Ultrasone Pro 900s and love them.  I am looking for a good companion headphone to go with them to make up for their shortcomings.   I've owned the Beyer DT770, the Sennheiser PC360, the AD700, and the Denon D7000.   The one I miss the most is the D7000 but they are out of my...
