Hey, newcomer to the Headphones world here!   I always used the old Ipod earbud, but now they are broken, so I though about buying a headphone.I like rock music, most grunge, and mpb(brazillian music), also, I am not a competitive player, but I would like to play Team Fortress 2 with the...

I want to get some over ear, closed  headphones for my iPod and computer. Looking for headphones that work well with rap and hip hop that have a good amount of bass that isn't overpowering. But they also have to have some style cuz I'm 15. Headphones I've looked at: audio technica ath m-50...

It is well known that the HM5, FA-003, and seemingly the Jaycar Pro Monitor Headphones are all rebranded Yoga CD-880's. I was reading around, and stumbled on a pair of Studiospares M1000's that seem to be the same, but unlike the rest, are available to buy very easily within the UK at the very...

Hey, I'm in the market for a <250$ reference monitor for light mixing, editing, eq... surgical detail work... I make mostly electronic/dance music, but my taste is quite eclectic, so I end up working on all sorts of stuff.   I've been reading a lot of threads and reviews, trying to narrow my...

Hey, so I've repriotized from my previous thread (Good gaming headphones) amd figured that I have more time for listening to classical music on my Ipod than gaming. So I've been looking at these headphones: 1. FA-003(USD165) 2. Q701(USD300~) 3. HE-300(USD200~ 4. DT880 Pro 600/Premium...

Hey guys,   I'm new here, and i have just recent bought the 8323s.  I think they sound fantastic, but the one thing that really takes away from the overall value of these is the comfort   Does anyone know if any velour pads will fit on the 8323s?  or if there is any other way to raise...

I should start off by saying I currently have a pair of Bose noise canceling headphones (I know what you're going to say). They were a gift from last christmas, and at the time I thought they'd be nice for studying and the sound wasn't bad. But now I've gotten more into audio equipment, and...

So, I was looking around for a decent pair of CLOSED headphones to ask for for my birthday. Looking for some that are relatively light, durable, and portable, with good sound (obviously). ABSOLUTE upper limit is $80. Also the headphones need to not leak sound (so closed, I guess). Usually I...

I've been waiting for a way to get a pair of FA-003's for a while now, but it's as if FA just stopped making them for some reason. Do any of you guys know of some less-known source or channel that I could grab a pair from? I do know about the OEMs, but many people have commented that the pads on...

Hi everyone,   I just joined Head-Fi but I have been browsing and searching the forums for a long time now. Since I was 15 years old or so I had a pair of Sennheiser HD 202's. They would break every 9 months or so, and it was always the left  ear cup that stopped working. I only stopped...

Get the most out of your Brainwavz HM5/Fischer Audio FA-003/Digitech Pro/Lindy Premium (Yoga CD-880) Headphones + a MOD INQUIRY   EDIT: Sorry this ended up being SOOO LONG; I'm actually exhausted myself! I don't see what I could take out though as I'm trying to address everything and...

New job, and new rules for me. I'm 40 years old and going to join a bunch of younger tech savvy hipsters that all look sooo cool. Office rules say that listening to music with cans must not bother others and is a aign you want to work in privacy. So in this setting I need overears a) with...

Hello.   I'm the proud owner of a Sennheiser HD555 which has served me well for movies, music, and games. But I'm off to college in the fall and as much as I love my HD555, its open cans won't serve me in a noisy dorm or a quiet library. So I need a new closed pair to take with me. I'm not...

I need sound quality, comfort, flattest equalizer and best sound stage, and easy to drive, but improve-able by an amp. I will be using it for home and portable listening and gaming, but portability is no object. 

I'm planning to upgrade to this from my Senn HD202, i've been at the shop multiple times, hered grados, shures, bayer dynamics, and a few more. eventually i narrowed it down to these 2 I wll be listening to mostly Electronic music, likely techno, house, trance, bit of dubstep , lots of drum...

I'm looking to get some closed back headphones for my work, where I sit next to someone in a small office and the HD650s I have are no longer appropriate.  I have come to love the HD650s (when amped) and have tried IEMs (tried UEs, Shures and W4s), but just can't listen for hours to them because...

It's been more than a year since I modified my Creative Aurvana Live! (CAL!), you can read the thread here.   This time I will use a similar approach to make the already quite neutral HM5 even flatter and better.   I am not the first person to modify the HM5 headphone; several people...

I want to know if there are any headphones that can be easily changed from open to close design and vice versa.    For instance, something like a swivel backplate on the outside of the phones that can be rotated to reveal open ports/vents and can be immediately closed when needed depending...

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...

Hi! I'm currently searching for a pair of headphones that have these qualities: Good sound quality Detachable cable Closed Comfortable Comes with a hardcase Good isolation Stylish (doesn't have to be as long as all the other requirements are fulfilled)   Also I don't plan on buying...

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what might have caused my FA-003s to develop a slight staticy distortion in the left driver. I've been using the cans for over a year with no issue.   I recently purchased a new turntable setup, including turntable (Rega RP-1), phono pre-amp (Rolls...

I'm currently at the $150 budget for a pair of headphones and my final decision comes down between the Audio Technica Ath M50 and the Fischer FA 003/HM5. I'm leaning towards the M50 with only two concerns, and I would really appreciate if anyone who owns the headphone can comment.   - I...

hey guys, i just ordered an fa-003 clone from jaycar, and i want a decent amp+dac to go with them. question is: will fiio e10 do the job or should i step it up to nfb-12.1 or o2+odac?

I just broke my HD 280 pro's and I would like to upgrade to a better 'phone at a higher pricepoint.  I was looking at Sennheiser's HD 598's, but I was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations for headphones ~$200?
