Hi, I want to buy a headphone around the 100-150 USD range. I used a lot of IEM and canal phones and so, my experience with headphone is limited to the Sennheiser HD202(Love the bass), and ATH FC700(they are nothing special). As for the IEMS, I have the UE triplefi 10vi(i dont use them often for...

Hi guys, today I have a chance to auditioned a pair of grado sr80 (non-i version), and I prefer its sound to my mspro.   I spend most of time listen to rock/metal music, what I love about sr80s is their agressive treble, it makes rock/metal music really engaging, the highs of mspro...

Hey guys first post and long time home theatre lover here. I am just now getting into the world of headphones and wanted to start with something small. I have around 100 bucks to spend and listen to mostly Hip-Hop and Dubstep however I listen to pretty much everything. I value a pair that is...

I am completely new to the world of higher-end headphones. I've been researching for a while, hoping to find a mid-priced option to upgrade from the standard Apple/Sony headphones I typically buy from a box store.   I ended up deciding on the Grado SR-60i, but then found a used pair of...

I am new to headphones and don't have a lot of experience with them. I'm an allround listener and listen to music almost everywhere.   My current(broken) headphones are the Skullcrushers by Skullcandy - I was not satisfied with this pair at all. I am now looking at Grado's SR60i, but I can't...

Lets start a thread. What do you guys want to get for christmas? Ill start off a pair of either-Grado SR60i or Grado SR80i, and ide like to get the Koss Portapros. They look nice and are cheap enough to try out ;)  

Hello everybody!   I was searching around about 5 hours and read dozens of threads like this one... but while reading, instead of getting clearer, the picture got more confusing. So I decided to open "my" own thread.   Short version: I want a revealing, direct, resolving, emotions...

  Hi, Should I get: 1. Grado sr325i 2. Sen HD 598 3. Sen HD 600?   I mainly listen to rock like: Russian Circles, Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin.  But I also listen to music by Wax Tailor alot.  I'm not looking for massive bass, just something good for a bit of everything.  ...

I have a budget of $450.00  for some things that I want.   1. Closed back for bassy things 2. Open back for gaming and mid/high things 3. IEMs for on the go etc 4. Amp   What I have so far is   1. M50s 2. Grado SR60is OR ATH-AD700s 3. ??? 4. E7 + L3 (for iPhone)  ...

Hey ya'll. This might be a stupid question, but where do you get slip-on housings? Do you make 'em yourself or do you buy them somewhere? If it helps, it'd be for the SR60i.

I've never tried a good pair of open phones, and since the weather is getting warmer and I'm not broke, it seems like a good time to do it I have the newer Ultrasone DJ1 (same as HFI-580, almost same as HFI-550/older DJ1), and I love the sound, except for me they have an unpleasant peak...

Edit:  D'oh!  Typo in the title but I can't seem to edit it.  It should be "How important is distortion *in* choosing headphones?"     Hi Folks,   I'm getting close to buying my first set of "real" headphones.  I'm coming from the speaker world where I've dabbled in designing...

Soooooo besides the 20$ difference, whats the differences between the 60's and the 80's? I heard there is more bass in the 80's but cant i just turn up the eq? Also, whatever the differences are, is it worth 20 extra bucks? (I listen to kpop, dubstep, techno/electronica and **** like that.)

I wonder if anyone knows if there is any decent headphone shops in central London. I wanna try out the new Westone 4.

Hi im new here. :)   Im looking for a new pair of headphones and I've looked at this ones   Denon AH-D1100   SRH440 Professional Studie   Shure SRH840   I listen to heavy metal and dubsteb,   I dont know with ones to take.   Sorry about my english.

I need some headphones that sound good but that I can toss into my backpack. I was thinking MS1's but apparently they are too fragile. Are SR60i or SR80i tough enough to be tossed into my backpack with some care? If not, what else do you recommend? And how fragile are the MS1's compared to the...

Hi. Do you have any comfort issues with m-50?   Thanks.   P.S. What's the size of the cans? P.P.S. Any more comfy and more portable suggestions ?    

Hello, I decided to mod my SR60is.  Here is a photo-documentary of my processes.  Feel free to comment/ criticize.  Just bear in mind that : a) I'm 15 years old b) This was my first attempt at anything like this c)This was done for under $20 (not including the headphones of course)  ...

Hi,   After a few weeks of lurking around the forums and reading as much as I can, I thought it's finally time to step up to the plate and ask around for advice on some cans. It all is very confusing and without many options to try on a set around my location ( nearest place being 2 hours...

  Im new to the head fi forums, so hello to all of you :) But anyways, i joined to ask for help with my next headphone purchase. I have a budget of about 70-100$ and i was wondering if anyone who had tried any of these (shure 440/840, Grado sr80i, or the M50's) could tell me which one they...

Hello  i've recently bought a Sennheiser HD205 and they are a Huge failure,there not bad,they just doesn't that clear "inside The Head" sound that i'm looking for. could you please have suggestions about a Full size Headphones In about 100$ budget BTW: I listen Only to Heavy Rock and...

Hey guys I'm new to this forum, and heard that it is the place to go, if interested in really quality headphones.  I've been doing a lot of research on here and narrowed down to a few pairs that I seem to hear good things about.  So I want to be sure that I am getting the best I can by asking...

Alright... Here's my issue.  My Sennheiser 598s are great for at home listening, but they are not the greatest thing to carry around campus.  I'd like something more fit for hard rock and metal this time around as well as a different sound signature. (I'm curious...)  So far I've narrowed my...

Hello all. I've been enjoying getting into headphones a lot and learning from everyone here. I currently have Koss ksc 75,modded (cut out and drilled).  I liked the sound at first and enjoyed it even more with mods.   My question is this I want to keep the same clear highs I'm getting...

Posted in the main suggestion thread a couple times, but no responses.   Looking for something with a laid back sound, smooth top end, non fatiguing. If any frequency is forward, I'd prefer it to be the mids or a little extra midbass for a warm sound. Balanced is still fine though, as long...
