Alright guys, i have been looking for a good pair of cans under 200$ usd but i do not really know what to get   They need good sound quality, good soundstage, but they have to be closed back and circumaural, but i might consider open back ones if they don't leak that badly.   they will...

I recently purchased the AIAIAI TMA-1 Studio, hoping it would be a nice upgrade and circumaural counterpart to the regular TMA-1, which I love. Unfortunately, I have been pretty disappointed with the sound of the Studios and will probably be taking them back to Best Buy.   I'm looking for...

Hello!   So Ive currently had a Argon HA2 DAC + Denon AH-D2000 setup for the last 2 years, and therefore looking for an upgrade.  I do not, unfortunaly, have any knowledge about headfi so I would like to get some help! My budget is max 2000 bucks and I do not mind buying used gear. ...

Dear Head-Fi'ers.    This is yet another thread where a person asks for help in deciding which headphones he should purchase. I'm well aware that there are thousands of threads that are very similar to mine but unfortunately, none of the more recent ones seem to fit my case so being a...

Okay so im looking for the most comfrotable headphones with good sound for $300 or less. I have glasses and my current pair of headphones the  Philips HN 110 Folding Noise-Canceling Headphones kinda crush my glasses into my head causing pain. I've been looking for an upgrade anyway the two...

So I'm about to buy my first cans....at first i was going to buy beats (thinking about it wants me to beat myself) but after doing some research on the internet beats was definitely out of the option....So after reading reviews on many cans,I narrowed my options to 3 that i likes the most : AKG...

I'm new to head fi and I'm wondering if you guys can help me find mi next headphone. My current headphone is the Sony xb500 and mi budget is 300$ but I can manage to put it up to 350 if necessary. I listen to alot of hip hop/rap music( mostly old scool ) from my itouch 4 so I need good bass. I...

Hey people.  I've just been introduced to REALLY hearing music for the first time.  Sadly, it was Dre beats, but at least it got me in the door.  So I've done a lot of researching to see what can handle the high highs for trance, yet still give the vibrating bass for dubstep.  I'm mostly only...

Interested in getting a closed headphone in the $300 range.  Currently have DT770 (non-pro 250ohm), best closed headphone I have heard to date.  Recently tried the ATH-A900x , enjoy the larger soundstage and "brighter" sound to the DT770, but they keep sliding down my head and the sound becomes...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a usb DAC/amp that is an upgrade to the E10 that I can listen to music on my computer. Ive been reading through a lot of threads but not really sure what to get. I'd also like something with a decent bass boost. Preferrably under $200, less is better. Thanks.

I am looking for the best all around headphones that can handle all genres of music out of the three.  I am trying to decide between the Beyerdynamic dt880s 600 ohm, the Denon d2000, and the Sennheiser HD600.  If i were to get the Denons I would get a Schiit Asgard while if I were to get the...

i listen to dubstep, rap/hip-hop and some rock. mainly rap/hop-hip though. would there be an improvement of bass in the 598 compared to the 558? ive heard the 558's before. i like it. i already have a pair of M50 but i want something thats open eared. what really attracted me to sennheiser is...

Hiya   I was wondering if anyone can tell me how a stax sr 207 or 202 (older model) compare to the beyerdynamic DT 770/880/990's   Also one of my most important questions i have is the bass, is it able to produce a thicker/deeper/more detailed bass than the DT's?   I have the DT 990...

I'm looking for a pair of headphones for ~250 or under for all-around use (music/movies/gaming). I listen to mostly pop and rock (random sample of last four songs: Natasha Bedingfield, Train, Eminem, Kelly Clarkson). I don't listen to dubstep, trance, or most rap (with the exception of a few...

Hello all, total newbie here looking for advice on a good pair of headphones under $500. My music library is a real mix of files, but most of what I currently listen to are 256 kbps MP3s downloaded from iTunes. I'll probably be switching over to Google Music as they offer 320. I prefer...

I am new to the whole headphone game. I came across this site last week and have been looking since. I have been to BB and heard the Studios. I like the base. So since I have heard different things about them I asked my friend if he knew anything as good or better for $300. He said look at...

I used to think the denon's did not need an amp until I got the Fiio 5. I know its not the best amp or even close but with it I notice a difference with the denons. They sound smoother and more satifying.    This is the part I don't get, denon's freq are 5~45k.. yet on this forum people seem...

So after extensive research i finally bought these cans.  My most recent pair of headphones used are Shure SRH840's.  I listened to these amped on a FiiO E7.   To test these headphones out i listened to almost every genre under the sun.  Some of the songs include.   Mozart - Requiem K...

Im relatively new to this and am in the process of building my system. I use an older Pioneer DV-F07 300 cd changer as my main source and a computer as my secondary source. Right now I run everything through my Pioneer vsx 1020 receivers DAC. I want to invest in a separate and better DAC. I read...

I've been looking at the Headphone Buying Guide for headphones around $300-350, but there are multiple options for my price range and I frankly don't have enough experience to know what would be the best to get in my situation. I'd prefer closed-backs unless there are fairly quiet open-backs (it...
