A bit about myself: I have the HFI-580 as my first pair of headphones, and while I enjoy the V-shaped frequency response, I'm looking to see what other sound signatures have to offer. So for my second pair I'm looking for either closed or semi-open phones with an emphasized midrange, for under...

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...

           Ive been a member here a while,but almost never post,so I thought Id tell you a bit about me and the hobby.                                 Im mainly a vintage Hi-Fi guy,but on my travels I end up with more great headphone buys than I do anything else,it seems like.heres some of...

I'm a noob so please be kind.  I've searched but with little luck for my question.   I like full size cans for comfort, but fear they need more then what my iPod Touch can send to a set.  I understand a headphone amp would help with that.  But to be honest, I would most often be too lazy to...

I've been looking at buying the SR60 or SR80, and leaning toward the SR80. Now that the updates to all Grado's have been announced, and based on the description of the upgrade to the SR80i, do you think I should wait for the SR80i? OR, should I go ahead and get the plain 'ole SR80, maybe taking...

Hi peeps,   I need a pair of portable noise isolating headphones   Like: Portapro's, K-702's, ATH-M50's (15mins in GuitarCenter)   Dislike: HD280's, Grado SR-60, Beats, Bose, Skullcrud     I have been decinding between the Beyer T50p for $190, BW P5 for Full Retail, and the...

Oye....I've got a few pics for your viewing.  Pics taken with a Nikon D90.  Enjoy.  

Where can I purchase such a pair? Except Jmoney's (to expensive for me).

Hey everyone, I've recently upgraded from a nuforce portable amp/dac to the HiFiMan EF2 and I must say the difference is astounding. Listening to these with my grado sr60i is an absolutely amazing experience for now I am in audio bliss once again :) About my question though, I bought this amp...

Hi head-fi!  I was looking for a budget full-sized phone I could use on the bus on my way to school and these had cropped up in my search.  A guy just happened to be selling an almost new pair here in saskatoon for $30 so I said, what the heck, let's do it!  It would cost more than that to order...

I'm in the market, like so many others, for budget head/ear/IEMs. Based on what I've read here, I'm split between the Pk3's, pl30's, and brainwavez's proalpha and m1's. Meeelectronics m6 are also an option, but I dont like the over the ear feature, so maybe m9's instead. I'm curious to know if...

  Hi guys, I want an 'open' set of cans for rock/Classical/acoustic music. Comfortable for long listening sessions. I am not a basshead. I stay in India and so I cannot try out or audition many headphones here, however I do understand(have heard) what decent sound is like. I searched a lot...

Advantages of a headphone amp over conventional equipment?   Anyway, I have quite a few headphones now - I'm not an audiophile or 'headphile', just an audio enthusiast.   Denon ADH-2000 B&W P5's Shure SRH-440's and 480s Sennheiser HD555s Grado S60's     Here is some of my...

Hey all, new to headphones and trying to find a good headphone for the $200-$300 range--can be used, so like a Grado 225i new 325i used or Sennheiser HD595 or HD600.  Just started my research.    Listed to mostly rock which I understand is Grado's territory.  Some jazz and a lot of acoustic...

Last year on a trip I found this pair of in ear monitors. And I've been very impressed with their quality. So impressed, that I've been using them non-stop for the past year. When I first found them I attempted to identify them, but so far have been unable to, so now I'm asking you fine folks...

Creative Aurvana Live (Denon 1001) Alienware Ozma 5 (Ultrasone HFI-550)   any others?

Hi I'm recently getting into vinyl and I'm looking to get a pair of headphones n the $100-150 range. Currently I'm looking at The SRH440's, SRH750DJ's, and Sennheiser HD595. I'm looking at comfort and how portable the headphones are (I want something that is small enough to walk around with)...

Hello,   My problem is that I brake headphones very easily. I have had bunch of Sennheiser HD-595, HD-550, Grado SR-60 and Koss Porta pro  headphones and they usually last 1-2 years. Recently I just broke the frame from my HD-590 and the repair shop told me to send them in. Well, apparently...

I'm interested in getting my first pair of good headphones, and after days of research I am looking keenly at the Sennheiser HD 228.   I've seen a lot of posts in this forum regarding that headphone, about how the positioning of the headphones on the ear makes a huge difference and some...

  I'm not aware of many people owning the Koss UR-55, but I just did a mod the other day and I liked it so much that I felt I absolutely MUST share it with everyone. It turns a good headphone into something really great and improves many things. I always liked the UR-55 but sometimes I felt...

Hello i'm quite new to this whole high quality headphone hobby. I have a pair of SR60s that i love to death however reading many threads on this forum i felt the need to upgrade. I currently own a cowon s9 and i just purchased a fiio E9 and i'm planning on buying a AKG k701/2 (i have searched...

has anyone had problems with loose connections at base of these headphones with loss of signal?                                                                                                  thanks...

so i searched, and i was saddened to see that there was no hp1000 appreciation thread. this is quite a bummer. there are grado sr-60, akg-k240, koss ksc75, bose triport, and even senheisser appreciation threads, but the hp1000 gets no love. naturally, the other variants should get love too, so...

I have a pair of Grado SR80i's right now and I'm probably going to upgrade to the HD600s before the end of the year I don't currently have an amp or DAC and am looking to get a setup of some sort in the sub $200 range.   I want to get the amp/dac before i upgrade to the senheisers so it...

      Recently I got a pair of grado SR60 with no box from ebay in superb condition;the seller does not know much about headphones so he couldn't give me additional information. The price was amazing so I took the plunge. I was more amazed when I realized what I received was not just...
