Hello,   All in subject really, which are the best quality headphones for use straight out of an iPod using FLAC as source? Without the need for amping.   Will be using these on the tube, so closed back preferable, although I do not mind listening to the music slightly less loud if...

I want to upgrade from my m50s and want a can that I will definitely be able to hear a difference. Of the following, which do you think will give me that experience and also give me a sound similar to the m50s with a strong bass? I listen to house music, trance, and hip hop mainly. Also I'm ok...

Hello everybody, this is my first message, but I know this is the place when it comes to headphones. My old affordable Equation RP21 is close to end it's life so I need new headphones. The budget 200$, new only. Requirments: Excellent built quality, I not planning to replace them...

I currently own an M50 and love it - I even prefer it over my TF10 and its currently my favorite headphone. So, I've been wanting to pick up a Beyerdynamic T50P for portable use - would the sound signature/quality satisfy me, coming from the M50?   Also, I should add that money is not an...

Well i have literally been doing anything possible to find the correct headphone because im really nervous about spending my money and then not liking the headphone so i was wondering i have these options (i listen to dubstep, rock, pop, hip hop, alternative, reggae, R&B, classical almost all...

So I am looking to get some headphones my budget is around $200-$250 I am willing to go a little higher but not too much. I will mainly be using them for listening to music on my computer. I mainly listen to electronic or dubstep also I don't have an amp but might get one if necessary. Also I...

advice on which headphones to buy for mixing/critical listening in studio I have been struggling for some time with getting the right headphones for my needs. I own a Benchmark DAC1 and am looking for the right pair of phones to pair with it for mixing/editing and critical listening. For...

I'm hoping I can get a little guidance, as I'm in over my head, and out of my league. Firstly, let me say that I am by know means an audiophile, but I am looking to get started down the right path. I'm looking for a decent set of over the ear headphones, and I'm open to any brand. I have a price...

I just joined head fi and I'm a bit of a noob compared to most here so please excuse any dumb things I might say. I'm currently using my V-Moda Crossfade Lp's. They're good, but I'm looking for an upgrade. I mainly listen to rap and rock, with some metal and a little bit of pop. The lp's are...

Greetings!     Have had the fortune of chancing upon this site while surfing and figured i would seek some opinions and suggestions from you guys regarding a new pair of headphones i am intending to get. Am fairly new to higher-end audio product and hence possess little knowledge about...

My pads and band have started flaking so I am looking to replace them. I know of the Lawton audio pads so I might buy those to replace, but I haven't heard of any type of replacement band for these headphones. Are there options out there other than from Denon since I don't want them to flake...

So as the title says I have the D2000s and the Ultrasone pro900s, both are really bass heavy and because of this I was thinking about adding a less "muddied", "mid-recessed" can to my collection. I listen to a lot of electronica/dub/house/glitchhop...etc, but I also listen to a ton of classic...

I've been enjoying SM3, UM3X, EX1000 and FX700 and am considering venturing into full size phones for $400 usd.   Can an Ipod Touch and a portable (which ones) amp work well?

So a few weeks ago I had to send my ultrasone pro 900s away because the drivers mysteriously stopped working. I use a fiio e17 amp and while I listen to music loud the gain is only set to 6db and I never turn the amp up all the way. I sent away my headphones because the bass was sounding tired...

I dont know much about headphone amps or even these nice headphones since this will be my first time purchasing one. Can someone please fill me up to date on the best headphones(closed or open) for rock music like alterbridge, creed, shinedown, digital summer, stereoside, etc. Also when i do buy...

UPDATE: I've made my decision and purchased headphones, I'm just leaving this around for people who may be in the same situation as me.   I've been going back and forth between a lot of my options for literally hours a day everyday for the past few weeks, unable to find precisely what I'm...

I am looking for a pair of closed / semi closed headphones purely for electronic music to replace my D2000.   I have the HD650 for other genres but they do not really "cut the mustard" with electronic / bass heavy genres.   I want fast, textured, tight, deep bass response as well as...

A bit of background, currently I have Denon 2000s and Brainwavz B2s powered by a Fiio E10. I like a bit of bass, and I find the B2s to be a bit too trebly and harsh (sibilant?).   My favourite headphones were the TF 10s I used to have and I also quite like the sound of my Denons.   What...

Ok,I know this subject has been talked about AD Nauseum.  I just bought a pair of AKG 271's. I have put about 35 hrs on them. The sound has tighten up a tad but nothing spectacular. The biggest point of contention is the highs are incredibly harsh and make my ears hurt. That and the overall lack...

I currently own a set of Denon ADH-1100's but the plastic attaching the cups to the headbands are breaking. I'm thinking of using this as an excuse to buy something a little nicer. Is the HE-400 the best choice for about $400? I listen to a good variety of music from classical, rock to metal and...

Hello everybody, I am new to the world of audiophile headphones. In the past I have had Beats solos, studios, the skull candy bass headphones, and the currently the bose qc15. After finding out that these headphones aren't the best for the money I want a pair that are. I listen to alt rock...

Hey guys, So I'm off to college and am looking to buy new headphones to listen to music, watch movies, and play my electric guitar with. I care a lot about sound quality and listen mainly to classic rock. So headphones with big bass and nothing else will not cut it. I would like over the ear...

I'm looking into getting a pair of headphones for someone as a gift. I have Beyer T70s ( which I love), but the intended recipient thinks they are too light on the bass side. I'm not really up on whats available on the bass line, but am looking for a closed can, around the same price point or...

I have been using the standard ipod headphones for the last 5 years already and feel like I need an upgrade. Ever since I heard the sound from a pair of AKG headphones, I don't want to look back.    I saved around $400 so far for a pair of headphones...however I am not sure which pair to...
