First of all, I have the JVC HA-S500s and I've been burning them in overnight:     They sound fantastic. A lot of the music I listen to sounds great with these headphones.   However, I also listen to a lot of electronic, rap, glitch, acid jazz and drumstep, and this is where I find...

Generally have never liked IEMs cause they slide out of my greasy italian ears! :) But I want something low profile to enjoy. Currently my portable can are JVC HA-s500's modded to the hilt but I want something even lower profile. My preferences are Transparency, Neutrality, Soundstage, (I loved...

Hi. Complete noob to this site. Ive done a lot of research and just really haven't had any luck getting a straight answer. I want a headphone with Good bass but doesn't completely ignore highs and mids Comfort Decent style I'll be using it mostly with my iphone so it needs to be portable. I...

Hey head-fi'ers,   I'm looking to cut my collection down a bit.  This week I'm targetting my ultra-portable sealed headphones.   I own a an ATH-ESW9 "Woodie".  It is the nicest sealed "portable" I own and I'll refer to it as a reference below.  So here are my brief thoughts on the K450...

Hello all,   I have a friend who is after a pair of headphones at around the cost of $100 (preferably $100 or under AUD). He is new to the audio scene, and I have had a mental blank of what he could get that's worthy around that price range.    He had considered SOL Republic/Beats line...

Would love to hear recommends for the BEST in portable headphones straight out of your idevice/phone. Any size will do as long as you think it portable. One suggestion per person. Price is no object, but suggest something you have auditioned or own. Feel free to say nothing but suggestion, or...

I was wondering what would be a good upgrade to my Sony mdr-xb 500. Now im looking for a pair of canns that are gonna be more suited to electronic music, also they need to be comfortable, i spend most of my day with them on. Another big point for me is they need to be good for mobile use, which...

I'm looking to buy a new pair of cans. I've been using a Sennheiser HD428, but I I am no audiophile (yet), and I need some advice. I've been checking out a couple of headphones; Sony mdr v6 or 7056's, shure 440's. Among these which would you recommend, or if there are other sets that I can check...

I'm wondering if anyone might have some insight into this issue. I've been seeing more headphones with carbon nanotube diaphragms popping up lately. However, I know that prolonged exposure to CNT's can be quite dangerous, since the thin structures can pierce right through cells and cause various...

My maximum budget is $80, and I want some crisp and clear neutral sounding over-ear comfortable headphone with not TOO much bass, but still quite a lot of bass. They also shouldn't leak a lot. I want to have them on my head for 2 hours, and they shouldn't hurt my ears or head. I own a AKG K540...

Hello ! This is my very first post on head fi, although I've been lurking here and there for a little time. I am (was ?) an owner of beats by dre studios, which disapointed me. Not because of the sound quality, because they were the first "expensive" pair of headphone I tried, so I don't have...

Good morning guys, I'm not really sure if this is the right place for my thread I'v just registered this moment and I'v been searching lately for the best headphones I can find for my budget around $70-75 maybe a little bit more but surely not over $80.   I mainly listen to rock/metal and as...

When Rockbob posted the “Name our latest soon to be released product from ROCK JAW” thread for the Kontrol replacement, I took the first chance I get to enter. Several agonising days of waiting until the closing date, and finally the announcement, I was greeted by a PM from Rockbob himself...

Hi All,   Need some quick advice here. I received a european coupon for 30% discount for the logitech store,Valid for just 1 day. Alot of headsets have been already discounted by 50%. So quite an attractive deal.   The one i am looking at is the UE 6000. From 199€ tot 60€ including...

Hello! I need new budget headphones for my tablet Acer Iconia B1. The budget it's VERY tight and can't pass 100$. Thanks.

Hi guys Ive been lurking this forum for quite some time and now Ive got the guts to ask a question :) I currently own jvc ha s500 headphones. They are a wonderful sounding cans; very nice bass and full sound. I was wondering if the Sennheiser Hd 25 or amperiors would be a worthy upgrade.

As the title says, I wish to get a new 'phone or two for portable use. I'll be using them with my Clip+.   ATM my go-to portable 'phone is the KSC75 (not with the clips—clips don't work for me—with Portapros frames) and, while they sound great, they leak lots of sound which makes them...

I´m sorry if this thread doesn´t belong here, but the Recomendation sub-forum doesn´t seem too active. Well, I was looking for some new headphones, because I´m getting tired of using my cheap Energy Sistem cans, they don´t sound very good (decent bass, but ugly highs and mids) and after 1-2...

Howdy all - like I said in the title, I need to chat with people as opposed to just reading threads....   I have a decent flac collection, foobar, etc. I use a Gilmore lite + psu and an emotiva xda1. My current phones are AKG k601, AT ESW9, JVC HA s500, and a pair of px100s. (I also have the...

I have a htc one, I see the akg 44 9n sake for 19 but I'm guessing smartphones don't have the power to push them properly. What's a good headphone mostly closed to use my smartphone? I was guessing the jvc s400 or s500.

Hello everybody, it's my first time posting in this forum. I'm looking for the best headphones I can buy for under 50$ to replace my broken HD 202s. I'll mostly use them to listen to music (classic rock mostly but also classical and pop) and movies on my desktop or laptop and I'm a bit of a...
