When Rockbob posted the “Name our latest soon to be released product from ROCK JAW” thread for the Kontrol replacement, I took the first chance I get to enter. Several agonising days of waiting until the closing date, and finally the announcement, I was greeted by a PM from Rockbob himself...

Must be extremely durable (must last for many years), preferably with detachable cable, easily driven straight from laptop, very comfortable and similar in performance to:  Akg 501 Goldring dr150 Superlux hd668b . Akg k240 Fostex t50rp

Whats the headphone with the closest sound to the Sennheiser Momentum, but with a bigger soundstage? Thanks in advance! :)

Got these in the mail today from Mantra Audio in the U.K. Didn't expect them so quickly, it only took about 6 days to ship fron England to Texas. The first thing i noticed was the size of the headphones, they're smaller than the pictures make them look. Not small, but not as big as Senn. 6...

Hi,   I listen to rock/jazz/classical/folk on flac using foobar2000/wasapi. My collection includes poorly mastered hyper-compressed rock/jazz recordings (think about the Stooges-Raw Power or anyone of the early Blue Note RVG remasters) as well as audiophile classical/acoustic recordings -...

Hey guys! This is my first post. I am 20, male, in college, and have never owned a nice pair of over ear headphones so I assume I'm in for quite a treat.   Stats: I listen to math rock, country, electronic dance music, classic rock, basically everything but rap. I don't like roaring bass...

With only a few more days in 2007 left, I thought I'd put my audio experience acquired over the past year to some use to share what I think are the best of the best for headphone hi-fi. Not all these products came out in 2007 but all are still available on the market. These are, of course, my...

Hey,   Hopefully, this is the right place to post such requests.   I'm looking for a pair of on-the-go headphones. I'd consider over-the-ear or in-ear, although the second category usually (from what I've seen) comes with a thin, thin, not-so-sturdy cable. here's what I'm looking for in...

Hello all, I hate to bring up another one of *these* threads, Ive seen plenty of them in my search for the correct answer. Im looking for the best (in your personal opinion) set of headphones for under $100 that fit my tastes. I'm a broke college student but I would spend more if I could, and I...

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...

Hello guys. I'm looking to upgrade from my first set of audiophile cans (Grado SR60i) and I'm not sure what to get. I like the sound of the Grados, but I don't have much to compare them to. While I want good accurate sound, I wouldn't mind if my new pair had a little more low-end punch than the...

hi i have had some audio techica ath-sj5s for years now and never had the money to upgrade. i got a voucher for amazon.co.uk and the goldring and senn. are both about £40 (voucher amount).   is there a clear winner?   i know they are open and closed cans but that wont matter.   i...

...up to £250? (Up to $400 really)   I currently own 2 fotm's (Goldring 150's and Superlux 662B), fine, one open, one closed, and I thought they were great. Recently however, I have started becoming more critical of my music and might just focus on one particular instrument through an entire...

Hello, I just got the Goldring DR150s.   Is there anything less than £70 ($115) that is better than these headphones?   I will use them for gaming, classical music, jazz, rock and more modern music.

Hello   I just got the Goldring DR150s, and the sound quality is good.   However the Goldring NS1000s have lots of extra features, like a detacheable cable, active noise reduction and closed-cups (I want closed ones)   Is the sound quality of the NS1000s equal or better to that of...

Hello   Following other discussions on these forums I am getting the Senn HD 595s and the Goldring DR150s. (I'm only keeping one of them long-term)   I will mostly use these big cans with my PC, but if I were to use them with my Galaxy S2 would a Fiio amp improve SQ?   I really...

Hey,   I'm on the lookout for a new set of 'phones for gaming and music use. I have a budget of approximately £50 and don't want to go much over it.   Suggestions I received so far include the Shure SHR240s, JVC HA-RX700s, and the Sennheisers HD448s.   Are there any others I should...

Need some advice on my next headphones, I'm not all that knowledgeable when it comes to good headphones so forgive the newbness.    I have a pair of UR-40's that I have been using for the past few years that are starting to fall apart.  I always liked them but didn't learn that they are...

After scouring for reviews and finding none, I snagged a pair about a week ago on the seemingly high level of faith in BD's lower end stuff. I've been rocking them for a few days and have been quite pleased. Though I'm not sure how 5 years of HD-202s and eh150s (same thing, I'm quite sure) may...

Hello :) Having breezed through several pairs (and when I say breezed through, I mean irreparably broken) of portapros, I am looking to move onwards and upwards. Any recommendations for good, sturdy headphones? Over or on ear, I don't mind. (Music: I listen to all sorts, but not Mahler or...

Hello people sorry for the double...i tried to delete the first on but i couldn't. the first post didn't get any attention, eccept from Armaegis(thank u for the reply) so i tought i'd post here.Be gentle im a total noob.    Being a googloholic, i've been googling myself to death these past...

First things first, I'm really sorry if this isn't in the right section, and if so, could the mods please move it?   Well now that's out of the way, I should first say that I've been lurking the forums for a few days now, and have gained a little bit of knowledge about some of the tech...

first let me introduce myself (wes) and say that this forum is one of the busiest i've seen. currently 400+ viewing this one alone. wow.   anyway i'm in the market for a set of headphones and looking to spend around 100 dollars.  please don't be sorry about my wallet.  reason being, i've...

You know what its like,sometimes a relatively cheap phone will come along,get ignored by everyone and no one ever knows how great they are. Enter the new-ish SHP4500 from philips Oh my goodness these open cans are quite a revelation I picked these up today for £20 because primarily i liked...
