I'm looking for a decent pair of cans under US$125. for immersive gaming. I nailed down my options to ATH A700, HARX900 and a used BT 777 pro 80. I will use the cans with a dolby headphones processor (ear force dss). to help with the soundstage.   I have spent two weeks in research...

I am a long time reader, first time poster.  I've never owned any audiophile quality headphones.  I currently have a pair of Phillips noise-canceling that I use to block out some background sound for studying, but I really don't like them for anything else.  What I use to listen to most of my...

  Hi everyone!   I'm really happy to be here, from all the forums I found this one to be the most friendly and well informed   I always dreamed with 5.1 headphones, now I have the change of getting a good set of headphones and a DH amp. I had done some really extensive research...

Just going from straight out of the box impressions, but they seem pretty detailed in the highs compared to my HD 580s. Somewhat similar to my old M1000s but with less bass an less treble extremities. They also sound closed but not that obviously. Also they're pretty comfy haha but they get a...

Hi guys:  I'm new here but I have been reading through a lot of posts on headphones and particularly gaming.  I have learned that what is ideal is hugely variable depending on your particular set-up, manufacturer, sound preferences, etc.  I'm really confused on what would work best with my...

Hi there. I finally decided on my new headphones (I hope :P)   As you can see from the title I listen to metal (mainly, but I also listen movies's sound tracks, some hip-hop and classic music one in a while). Is there any difference between the two JVC that would suggest me to buy a pair...

Hey all, my old headset finally had the cable pull out of one ear, while it's still usable, if you're willing to go about soldering the cable back on, I don't have a solderer, and don't feel like messing with it. Anyone have some suggestions for a good gaming headset around $50, or a more...

N ow i know there are tons of threads out there  i am a newbie here from Australia>> tasmania...   looking for a decent set of cans to use for gaming and listening to music( Philips go gear aria).. source is just a plain ol on-board sound... a new motherboard with what i was told is a decent...

Hi guys, I want headphones purely for gaming and I can spend up to $100. My problem is that my soundcard is onboard and I don't have enough money to get both a soundcard and a headset. I read that the ATH-AD700 are pretty good, but does that hold true even when the soundcard is onboard? What...

Would someone else please buy a pair and lmk if I am losing my mind? I really am starting to think that these $60 headphones are better than most any other dynamic I have ever heard. That can't be right. I have tried most of the popular cans from every manufacturer. Seems like these have some...

Ok, I have my JVC HA-RX900s, which I love, but are a bit messed up from all the times I've dropped them (). So I'm in the market for new headphones. BUDGET: $100-200, keep it as low as possible, I still need money left over for a new computer. Tastes & Uses: I like electronic stuff, like...

Hey, I'm a bit new to this scene and after years of sub par audio equipment I took the plunge into some audiophile "Approved" headphones when I purchased my HD201's as my first entry level cans. For $20 I got a hell of a deal I must say. This leaves me in a bit of a fix; however, I'm a little...

well of course during the first step of a tutorial i was following, you need to remove the ear pads, well i tried kinda of. but stopped because i didnt want to not be able to attach it after. needless to say im asking if anyone knows how to take off the pads safely if possible. I just found...

Hi guys,   I've been reading these forums for quite a well, but just decided to post today.  I'm currently using a Steelseries Siberia v2...which I'm pretty disappointed in overall.  I'm going to be purchasing a new set of headphones for gaming/ventrilo (and a little music) for somewhere...

Okay, I just finished doing the permanent mods on my RX900s (well, to be honest, I just finished enjoying listening to a bunch of music after finishing the mods!), and I'd like to put together a little bit of a picture guide for anyone who's interested in doing the same. Materials: -1/2...

Hi everyone.   I've spent the last week or so looking for a set of cans to bring to college this fall.    I've never really been a "headphone guy," as I much prefer listening to speakers (I have a pair of M-Audio Bx5as that I enjoy very much, and plan to take with me to college)...

I'm thinking about buying a pair of JVC's RX900 headphones off Amazon.  Originally I wanted a pair of the RX700s, but they've been discontinued  and are near impossible to find online for a good price--at the moment, the RX900s are only $10 more and seem to be worth it (because of the softer...

Hey guys, I need some suggestions of some above decent headphones. I am a college student, and I need a pretty comfy all around headphone. I am probably going to study with these headphones in a school's library, so I am looking for a headphones that has minimum noise leaks, maybe noise...

I have been happy with my current headphones for a while now, but I think I should really get a newer pair, but don't have much to spend.   My budget is £50, which normally works out about $70, but we get ripped off over here so take this lightly. I will be using them mostly on my computer...

So my pc speakers have shorted out, I've decided to get my first full sized headphones instead of a new speaker set.   My price range is around 50-75, willing to go a bit over.   I have never bought any headphones over 20 bucks and I can't find a place I can try on any headphones other...

A few points for consideration:   I like my Grado SR80s, but I need a set to listen to in bed while my wife snoozes next to me.   The Grados are a tad bit harsh on the top even with the EF2 tube amp. I'd like something with a bigger soundstage (wider and deeper), as well as better...

What are the best headphones for Drum N' Bass music that is under $120?

I currently am using a pair of Audio Technica NC27's and they are just too small on my ears. I am looking into getting a pair of the Sennheiser HD448's. They are just in my price range and I have heard good things about them. What do you guys think? I will include a link to them if you want to...

So I am thinking of buying a good <$50 headphone for the first time, an upgrade from my cheap ipod earbuds. Which from among these would you recommend? I need it for:   1. All around use. Music (classical and rock) and movies. 2. Durable. 3. Preferably sound isolating.   Looking...

Any recommendations? I've tried the Sony MDR V6 and Creative Aurvana Live, and found them too tight/uncomfortable. My main priorities are 1) low clamping force, 2) large/very large ear cups, 3) thick padding, and 4) excellent comfort for long usage. I'm basically looking for a closed version of...
