Hey guys, So after being away from Head-fi for a while, it is nice to come back.  I had someone send me all of his headphones to mod and I have to say it was a very fun project getting to test each headphone and mod them.  I just recabled all of them basically.  I did a couple dynamat mods I...

Hi!   IEM crisis is knocking softly on my door (again), and I'll try to make this as short as possible.    My PL50s are starting to fail on me and therefore I need a new pair of IEMs. Actually, I want two pairs. One for workout and one for mobility use when traveling. I'm not going to do...

I will be using these headphones for music (rock, electronic, some ambient), gaming, and some movie-watching.  I was going to get the Audio Technica AD700 or AD900, but I worry about the reports of anemic bass.  I know that the AD series are open, and price-wise the 700s are a bit higher than...

i want to pair either the rx700/900 with an astro mixamp for gaming. i know that the ath ad700's superior but i'm wondering if the RX700 or 900 would be a good cheaper alternative. a lot of people are saying that sound on video games and the xbox 360 is not very good, so is it even worth getting...

Hey guys,   My brother wanted cheap headphones for his studio class.  He liked my Ultrasone HFI-580 (finally went out and bought them, and they sound gorgeous, thanks for all the suggestions on those!), however, he does not want to spend the money for them, he just wants something similar...

Well, I was researching for headset for gaming. I mostly play WoW and I need a mic to talk to my friends. There's currently a deal for Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 for $43, but I dig a little deeper and found that the AD700 plus mic mod was a better choice.  So I might buy the AD700 depending on...

Hey guys,      I'm all excited about my first post here and can't wait to interact with the head-fi community. Last week, I finally decided to get myself a full-size headphone after two loyal years with in-ears. I am still a fledgling audiophile and so I am not as educated as most of the...

Looking for some nice-looking headphones that also sound good for $50-60

Hi everyone,   I want to buy an entry level headphone about $100, I have looked a lot and learn a lot in last two weeks, but I also don't know which one to buy. So I ask for help here. I use it to listen music, usually pop and rock, also like new age and classic. I play games, but I just...

I've searched through countless threads and have went through many choices, but i finally narrowed it down to the these two phones JVC HARX900 ($60) and ATH A700 ($120) CAL ($100) My budget was around 100, but i saw the good reviews on the ATH700 and it was selling for only 20...

So i've been on the market for a pair of decent headphones (on a budget).   After hours of research and recommendations, these 3 headphones seem to come up the most.   JVC rx700 (People seem to choose these over the rx900 but I don't really understand why..)   SAMSON sr850  ...

After having several headphones recommended to me last week, I've had little success narrowing down my choices.    My choices are between:   Audio-Technica ATH-M50 JVC HARX900 Superlux HD 681 Audio Technica ATH-A700 Audio Technica ATH-AD700 - ^not sure of the differences between...

  Hey, I'm stuck between these two headphones, which do you recommend and why? I'll be using it for music (rock/rap/dubstep) and gaming. Thanks.   Kicker HP541 vs. JVC HARX700   Links: Kicker...

I'm trying to decide between these two sets of headphones as my first set of headphones. Since I will likely be using them for hours on end, one of my main priorities is comfort. The only thing keeping me from ordering the HD668Bs is the fact that they are widely regarded to be uncomfortable...

i need a new pair of headphones to pair up with my turtlebeach earforce dss for gaming on my xbox360. i was about to buy the ad700's but i came across these jvc's that people have been saying good things about for 30 dollars cheaper. i want a big soundstage for fps gaming. Anyone own any of...

Hi guys. I'm looking to buy headphones mainly for gaming, listen to music casually and watching movies at home. (My brother is buying another TV for the basement, so if he's using it, I'll be using the headphones when I'm doing what I'm doing) I've decided that the JVC HARX model line is the...

i am looking new headphones to use indoors. i don't want to use my in-ear headphones at home since it gets too uncomfortable after long times. i would really like to be as close to $100 as possible, maybe a little over if needed. i have looked at headphones such as the sennhesier hd555, hd518...

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...

So I am in the market for some new headphones, and again and again keep coming back to and considering these. I have looked at a few others, but everything being said (mostly on this site) says for the price, they can't be beaten.   So, I have a budget of ~£50, give or take a few quid. These...

Hello oncemore, Head-fi. As I was browsing a different brand of cans today (JVC), I found this line extremely similar to that of the Sennheiser HD201,202,203 line. I heard many people debate on the use of bass in this new trio also. So, my question is... what are the pros and cons of these? I...

Guys, here is the thing:   I've been reading Head-Fi for a few weeks now, but the many threads I have read don't seem to solve all my problems.   I'm not much of an audiophile, but I'm entering this world. Still pretty new in business, but I'm trying to grow.   First of all, I'm...

I'm new to these forums, but a buddy of mine visits this site every day and referred me here. I am about to go to college and want some headphones. The max I want to spend is $150, but preferably want to spend around $100 (or less ).   Uses: - Music. I don't need 100% perfect sound...

Soundstage, Techno/House/Dubstep, and Hard Rock and Metal? ( I mean 3 different headphones, not one for all three.)   I've been reading that the HARX900's and V600's are pretty good for electronic stuff, and the AD-700's seem good for soundstage.

Another newbie looking for headphone advice; I apologize for making a new thread instead of posting in the "buying headphones" thread but I figured this has enough specifics and details to warrant a separate thread...plus it seems like this would just get lost in the sea of replies if posted...

First post!   Looking to spend around $100 on some decent headphones. They will be used for gaming and music. I listen to pretty much everything (Mozart to Death Metal).   What would the experts tell me to get?   I do not have an amp. They will be plugged in to my PC sound card.   ...
