Here's what I'm looking for and perhaps you all can steer me in the right direction. 1) If I'm watching movies/games I would like some form of surround (virtual/real). So that if I'm gaming, I'd like to be able to tell if someone is behind me. 2) I need them to be portable. I plan on using...

Damn, I hate the web sometimes.  I had a written this post once already and was just about to hit send.  Instead I fat finger some damn key on the keyboard and all my text is gone without warning.  Arghh!!!  So, starting over.....   I am in need of a new pair of cans.  Short version, I...

Hello, this is a very confusing topic for me. I have had the AD700 before which felt like pillows on the side of my head, although it did touch my ears which was a bit annoying, but others say that they could not get it to fit and made their ears hot and itch some. I have tried the HD 598 at...

I'm looking for a new set of headphones and to start off (and I feel bad about this now D: ) is that I own a set of Beats Pros and Plan to sell them (to a friend) so I could buy another. I've looked into several headphones, The Audio-Technica ATH M50's, Crossfade M-80's and the Incase Sonic. The...

Hi, I want to get into more comfortable headphones that also hit harder if possible with my current dac/amp. Gaming, Movies and music.  The gaming and movies have a lot of the same sound..Explosions all around, gun fire and so on lol...   Music is rock mostly and the grado's do great on my...

Hello guys! I’m new to the headphones world and i need your help! I’m a stating audiophile (sounds funny I know :D) and i have really hard times choosing myself a good pair of cans. The place where i live there is almost no good headphones, so i can’t try out anything myself and i don’t have...

I have a price range of about up to ~200$. Seek for a well balance set because my music taste is wide.   It is mainly for the weather, the snowy/rainy weather when commuting. I am going start looking right now, =] but I wonder if you guys have any suggestion. Been living in Toronto...

Hey guys, I've owned a pair of Creative Aurvana Live's for about 2 and a half years now, they were the first pair of decent cans I owned (bought on recommendation from this forum) and I have been incredibly happy with them. However this morning I tripped on them whilst they were plugged in to my...

Hello, all! I'm looking for great headphones for dubstep. I'm talking super bassy bass. I love the level of bass beats have, but they're way too expensive and over priced. On-ear prefered. Thank you for any help! I was looking at the sol republic tracks. Are they good for dubstep? My friend has...

        Hello,  As you could probably tell by me not knowing anything I'm doing, I'm new around here. But I have one question. I am interested in up-grading from Beats by Dre (Solos) And BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING, because I know how you all love Beats.. I am very aware that they are very...

Hi guys   I'm hoping some of you can nudge me in the direction of my next set of headphones. I'm pretty amateur at this stuff, so please excuse the language and lack of knowledge.   I'm currently on Senn HD25s. I listen to Trance most of the time, so am looking for equivalent or...

Hi, I'm in the market for a great, long-lasting pair of full-size closed headphones.  I've been browsing the Head-Fi forums for a while now and have gotten quite a lot of great information (thanks!).  After demo-ing a few models at a local pro-audio store, I'm left with a few questions that they...

Current Setup: Audinst-Hud-MX1 -> AKG Q701 / Sennheiser HD 280.   I like my setup a lot but here's the problem - Q701 are too detailed for bass heavy music like electronic and hip hop. HD 280's on other hand do those genres well but get too sweaty and uncomfortable really quick.   What I...

I am currently using the 598 with ultrasone hfi580 mixed in depending on music but the ultrasones are uncomfortable and fatiguing and the 598 lack enough bass for my taste so I'm looking for a decent upgrade. I listen to classical,country, lots of Elvis and a little of most other genres mixed...

Ok so I've been lurking around on these forums for about a month now, and I've realized how many requests you guys get on suggesting headphones for others. I also realize that this is kinda hard to do, because everyone has different uses, taste etc. However I am as mentioned clueless, so I'd...

Hey guys   I've been a long time lurker and learned many things from your useful insights. I wanted to buy new headphones and trawled the internet for different ones. I came up with a top 5 list, narrowed it down to perhaps 3.    I read MalVeauX's terrific review of the M-Audio...

Hello all,   I am going to be making a headphone purchase soon. I will be replacing my bose QC2. I have been reading posts on this website about headphones and I think I narrowed it down to these three:   AKG K550 Denon AHD2000 Ultrasone Pro 750   Any comments or other...

I have no idea what I'm doing, so if someone could explain why they're suggesting what they're suggesting, that would be awesome.   I want to get a pair of headphones that have clear directional audio in the source engine, particularly Team Fortress 2, and good performance in Counter-Strike...

I know a lot of people have problems with sibilance in this forum, and for whatever reason haven't seen this plugin mentioned much here on head-fi... does anyone here use it?  I started looking for solution for sibilance on my main computer rig ever since I got my HD800 and D2000, both of which...

What would you guys recommend for around $300?   I listen to mainly soft alternative and a little bit of jazz.   I'm not a big fan of earphones/iem but I expecting to be traveling soon and   I don't want to lug my headphones around.   So which eaphone or iem would you guys...

Hi everyone.    Currently I have the Sennheiser HD 558 headphones (foam modded). I love these headphones a lot, great sound and excellent sound-stage. However, I am looking to upgrade headphones and I am looking for similar qualities that exist with the 558's. Such as sound-stage. Closed or...

Are these good enough headphones that spend $200-$250 on? I need headphones with great comfort (around ear) so that they could be worn for 5+ hours without breaks. They also have to be very good at noise cancelling. I found a pair of these on eBay for $198 and a pair on amazon for $240. Please...
