Hello!   Firstly, let me just say what a great community we've got here! I have been doing research for the past week about what kind of headphone is right for me, and Head-Fi has always provided me with the best insight! I've read so much stuff about each of the headphones I am about to...

Oh boy guys, I am overwhelmed! I've been sifting through posts here for the last 5 days and becoming more and more indecisive. I'm new here and am really enjoying the threads. Thank you all. I'm a film editor with a somewhat unique situation. I work on an older Avid Media Composer with a...

Hi Head-Fis, I've been looking into buying a new set of cans lately and have been impressed with the amount of activity and discussion on this site, so I thought I'd come here for some advice. I'm looking for a pair of headphones that is as honest and transparent as possible at around the $300...

What I am looking for are some closed headphones, preferably passive noise isolation. They must also be able to be easily driven on a mp3 player such as the iPod Touch 4th gen or the Touch HD, I don't want to carry a amp around so headphones which really need that are not an option. I listen to...

I'm in a search of a high-quality DJ style headphone. Looks and comfort are important to me, as well as sound quality. Something contemporary. New, flashy. Nothing dorky. up to about $150. $200 MAX if it's a a large improvement. Thanks!

Basically i've been producing recreationally for a while and i'm about to start college on a music production course, and we have to supply our own headphones. At home I use Sennheiser HD650s but I don't really want to risk taking them in considering how much I paid for them, what headphones...

So I listen to a lot of Hip Hop and Rap on my Ipod 3g. My price range is preferably $200 or under, the more bang for the buck, the better! I've done quite a bit of research recently and have narrowed my search to the following headphones.. Please tell me which you think is best (or the worst)...

Hello all,   I don't post alot, but have a question for anyone who might have experience in this topic.  I've tried to search the site for a similar topic, but to no avail.   I'm playing bass guitar in a church band, and we use hear-back units.  I'm able to separately adjust volume...

Accurate & detailed, comfortable, keeps noise out, leak out not an issue. In your opinion please.

Hi, long time since I came here but once again I seek your advice.  I'm looking for a fun headphone around $200.  I've been looking these two: http://www.amazon.com/Grado-Prestige-Series-SR225i-Headphones/dp/B0006GCCN6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1307500772&sr=8-1  ...

Hey there,   I've recently purchased a set of GMP 8.3500 headphones, on the premise that they can be easily driven by a DAP, which they certainly can, sound great, isolate great and are suitable for on the move without amplification.   It would be fair to say that all of the above...

Hi   I´m in search for a full size headphone that has excellent sound AND dosent leak much either ways.   My current setup is a Logitech Transporter -> Schiit Lyr -> Denon AH-D2000. The only real complaint I have about the SQ is the relative narrow soundstage, but I can live with it, and...

Hey everybody,   I know nothing about headphone technology and have up to this point owned nothing but crap (my last headphones were skull candy : ( But now that I am recording in the field and editing audio for the radio I am ready to step up to a high quality headphone so that I can...

Looking to buy some decent speakers together with a DAC or soundcard (whichever gives me better audio quality). Is there anything else I need for setting this up?   Budget for DAC/ soundcard: ~100eu Budget for speakers ~100eu Budget for sub~30eu   I can spend more, if you think it...

I'm trying to find the best full size headphones that suits my needs. I have a Sennheiser HD25-1 II and I love the sound of it, so I'd like to ask you guys if there is any full sized cans that has similar sound signature as the HD25 but it should be an upgrade sound quality wise.   I have no...

Right now I need closed headphones for actual professional monitoring needs. Not to sit home to enjoy music, rather, think of this as "mission critical". So the requirements are simple: As flat and as detailed as possible, all while remaining durable for outdoor (sometimes sheer wilderness)...

I have bought many pairs of headphones expecting them to be sturdy. I have tried brands known to be "strong" such as skullcandy and beats. My 3 pair of skullcandies all broke, two of which I threw away and one of which I sent in for warranty (SK pro) only to never see again. My beats also just...

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice, I currently have the 8.35D and I mainly use them to produce with Ableton, particularly tech house/house. I really like the 8.35D and I have another pair that I never used and wanted to trade or sell my pair and grab another. I'm also about to pick the...

I'm looking for some closed back headphones  to use with my macbook / ipod (some). I'm new to really high end headphones still, but just for reference, I bought Monster Beats a long time ago, and returned them after a week, now I have Monster Turbines (in ear), and I want to break into the hi-fi...

I listen to pretty much everything, but I'd say my focus is mainly on Rock/Metal and female vocals. I have a pair of k702s, but I'm thinking of returning them because I need closed cans for isolation and I'd like a tiny bit more oomph. They have about 200hrs of break in, so not sure how much...

this first part is more or less a direct coppy paste from another fourm that isnt realy responding to me. ----- my little brother recently broke his turtle Beach for the second time and it's out of warranty, what broke was a little piece of plastic that held the can onto the headband...
