I wanted to make this thread for a long time (at least for 3 days now). And I couldn't find similar one so here we go:   Different brands have different sounds (everyone who has Grados will know). So my question is this: Which headphones represent the best qualities of each brand (or...

Hello, I am looking for a new set of headphones after my pair of Audio Technica ATH-ES7s broke last week. I'm looking for something similar- closed-ended, mid-range headphones that supply a fair balance of all frequency ranges-, but I would not like to spend more than $100. The ATH-ES7s were...

I currently have a pair of Denon AD-1001 and they suit me just fine. However, I'm both getting the urge to upgrade and noticing that they're taking quite a beating. More exactly, the hinges on the ear cups are a bit uneven from wear and tear in my bag. I've done a bit of research on a few...

first thing i would say about the sennheiser headphones is their craftsmanship, they are very well-built. engineered in germany and assembled in ireland--what a beautiful team! if you hold these cans in your hands and take a close look you will find detailed characteristics of professionalism...

my love - sr225 driver is dead. however, I have a denon d1001, which has the same driver size with grado. I always hate the bass from d1001, uncontrolled and slow for my main genre: metal. So... let's the operation begin               now, my grado has sweet...

After breaking in my new Denon AH-D1001 for about 200 hours, I was reasonably pleased with the sound of these sub-$100 cans, but the prodigious bass from these little suckers was definitely loose and not well controlled. So, I decided to try to tame it with a few of the mods that Head-Fi guy...

I'm currently using the Creative Aurvana Live!  which I like a lot, but the pads are starting to wear out, so I figured this would be a good time to start looking for an upgrade before they completely fall apart.  I'm looking for something with basically the same sound signature, but more...

 At first, sorry for my bad English. So, i plan to buy a portable headphone for listen to music with my iTouch. I really like Koss Pro DJ100, but i came from Asia so i'm quite small (short, about 5'3 and skinny). The DJ100 seem to big for me, so i wonder if you guy can help me with this.   I...

Hey,   I was wondering what a good headphone would be for under $150-200 or so...mostly I listen to ambient/instrumental music and need a headphone that can pick out all the tiny details in a track. I don't mind if they're open or closed but do not want TOO much sound leakage if they are...

I have lost the right channel of my AH-D1001s and took the ear cups apart but did not find any wires off or soldering broken. I tried to take apart the plug but I could not get it apart. I assumed the plug is threaded but I could not seem to get a good enough grip on it without damaging it. Is...

Hello, Head Fi Forumers.  As you can probably see, I'm brand new around here, so you'll just have to hang on for a while as I get used to things...   I've been looking for a good pair of headphones, and am really considering the Sennheiser HD 595's.  Right now, I have a pair of Bose...

Dear Head-Fi Community, I am looking to buy new headphones because it's about time i let my poor suffering ears get a taste of beautiful audio. [I've been stuck with lousy WeSC Alp Horns... which I bought a while back for the fashion statement of it.] Hopefully you guys can help me out...

Hi there! Please excuse me if this thread is in the wrong place or if I am breaking any rules, I'm new here. Recently my Koss PortaPros cable's jacket (I think it is called) had been pulled too much (I presume) and caused the right headphone ear to stop working, but it works if I twist the...
