I'm in no way an audiophile (very clear after you read this post), but wanting a decent pair of headphones I did a bunch of research for a couple days and completely overwhelmed myself being as it was the first time I heard any kind of "in depth" audio terms.  But anyways, I wasn't interested in...

I've been looking for some headphones with big jaw-shaking bass like the Sony XB500's, but also with the crystal clear sound quality of the Audio-Technica ATH-M50's. I mostly listen to Trap music which is basically a Hip-Hop gangsta beat combined with Dubstep. Trap songs have a lot of bass and...

i know thts cheap but im saving for a new laptop so i cant spend much. my in ears are sick but my overs hurt my ears. any suggestions?   i listen to classic rock and metal, and dubstep. so they need good bass, but also clear mids and highs.   I'm fine to go a little over but not a ton...

As the title suggests. Have a limited budget, in the 200$ range. HiFiMan is not available here in India, I'll have to import it from China. As is the colorfly. I plan to use the player with a pair of SHN2500 IEMs from Philips till I save up enough for a pair of good cans. Looking at the Sony...

Guys,   I need your help here. I have narrowed it down to either the JVC or the Sony. Either the S500 or the XB400 or XB600.   I know all this is subjective, but I need some opinions from those who have owned or heard both S500 and XB400(or XB600). Basically just two simple questions as...

Just in case if anyone is interested to know. If anyone finds the HD800s to be cold, sterile and analytical, failing to invoke enjoyment or satisfaction in the listening experience, have a look at the JVC S500s if you are looking for a cheap portable design that doesn't require amplification...

my system is as follows: Asus xonar dx> FiiO e11> jvc ha-s500 I wanted to use a good cable to connect the asus xonar dx in fiio e11 ... 3.5mm to 3.5mm ... Any good for less than U $ 12.00?

Dear Head-fiers,   Just joined this community, and as an audio enthusiast new to hi-fi audio gear (can't describe myself as an audiophile...yet :) ), am looking forward to getting good guidance from all the experts here.   Requirements: - I'm looking for portable closed Over-ear...

I am new to the whole high quality headphones , yet I am very excited to get into this world and potentially be an audiophile. My first purchase was the Superlux HD 681's, which I like very much. I plan on slowly increasing my collection of hi fi headphones.     So my question comes in, I...

Hey guys,   I've recently run into a dilemma of sorts. I'm currently a senior in college and I've finally built up a full rig that I love (HD600, Schiit Asgard, Audioquest Dragonfly), but I barely use it. I'm eventually going to graduate school and work and can't see myself using this rig...

I want to get my sister a pair of headphones for Christmas. In conversation she's said she prefers over-ears to in-ears but being more of an IEM guy myself, I'm not sure what's good and what isn't when it comes to headphones. We agreed on a $100 limit with our gifts but it's okay if it goes...

Hi,   I know there are a lot of recommendations out there, but sometimes there's unfamiliar new gear worth seeking and sometimes old favorites are overlooked. A killer $100 phone found used for $50 is worth consideration. Or a closeout. Black Friday, etc. New or USED.   Please advise...

So this is my first post on here.  I love reading reviews on this site, but it seems like the more I read, the harder it is for me to make a decision.   I've never spent much on headphones.  Honestly the Monoprice 8323 is probably the nicest thing I have.  So that gives you an idea about...

I am looking for: best mids for under $300, Open, over-the-ear full size headphone - to use at basement home office. Looking for soundstage and separation.   I have not yet experienced bass detail, nor airiness - curious about these characteristics.   I thought I had wanted treble...

Hi, need headphones recommendations for my cousin.   -Willing to spend around $200 range. -Closed. -Good amount of bass, but not over the top. -Something not heavy. -Usually listens to rap/hip hop and movies.   You can recommend more than one, I can narrow it down from there...

Hello to all,   This is my first post on this forum and as my name says, I'm listening to flat portable music gear: an iPod classic 120 with standard white earphones from the box. I want to do something about it, but first I need some expert advice. Let me explain:   I'm an audiophile...

I'm on the hunt for some headphones that will probably end up being my first serious purchase, they will be used as an all round pair of headphones.   So what I'm looking for is a pair of ON-EAR closed back headphones. I'll be using them at home as well as outdoors, so that's why I'd like to...

Hey I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 and am looking for a good pair of headphones that sound great.  My price range is $200 or less. I like music like Linkin Park, Black Keys, and Foster the People. I was looking into the ultrasone pro-550. Any help would be great!

First off, I'm relatively new to the headphone world and I have a few questions about buying a new pair. I have a pair of Beats Solo HD's, and honestly they're awful. I've had em for ahwile but I can't stand em anymore. Can't wear em for more than 30 mins-1hr at a time, and the sound just isn't...

This was a favorite headphone for many years, however there was a shortage of them last year, and the price spiked as high as  around $150. At $125+ the V6 wasn't worth it, however at under $70 it is a good value. It seems like most have forgotten about this headphone.

hey guys,    Anyone recommend any particular closed-back cans for taking places and preferably with a decent case so I can store in my school bag and not ruin them. Probably willing to spend approximately 300 USD, but could slide a bit either way.    I'm one who mostly listens to rock...
