Hi! I am looking for a new par of headphones to buy this December. I currently have the Sennheiser HD 558 and until now I am very happy with the sound when pair with the Ipod Classic without amplification.   The ideal headphone to me should be relatively easy to drive, circumaural open...

Ok last time I left off i returned the Grado SR80i because of comfort and sound leakage.  I returned the ATHM50s because of comfort.  Now I am returning the K550 because of fit.  I love the sound of these cans but i cant get them to fit snug on my head for the life of me.  I even tried bending...

Title says it all :)

I'm sorry if the review is not adequate. So that's why I called them mini review. This is purely my impression, so forgive me if there's a lot of miss spoken word in my review   Not to be mistaken with Govibe Vulcan that has DAC and Amp, Vulcan+ only is an amp only unit, and also more...

Hi Everyone,   This is a follow-up to my previous post regarding choosing in between AKG K550 and Vmoda M100. I bought both and was hoping to choose one to conclude my research for a semi-portable headphone. Unfortunately, I returned both. My requirements were:   Best sound quality I...

I have been STRUGGLING with this decision for some time now. Both can come in at the same price (399.99).   My current setup: Laptop -> Audioquest Dragonfly -> Schiit Lyr -> HD650/DT990 Premium   I am looking something that complements the HD650, especially in terms of making my female...

It would be interesting for everyone to list their THREE most comfortable cans they've ever worn.... BarryT

I am looking for advice concerning a new purchase of some closed back headphones. The primary use will be in an office environment during the day, but they will also be used for travelling and possibly some late night gaming or film watching. I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD 595 which are...

I used to own a K1000 and I remember that it had superb "outside the head" imaging. I sold it a while back. I just picked up a Hifiman HE-500 and I'm impressed with the imaging, and it does get "outside the head" and feel "open" almost to the degree the K1000 did, but it's been a while since I...

I would like to hear comments from users of Kenwood KH-K1000 headphones.   Someone say that they resemble Sennheiser 650?   I have sony mdr cd3000   If Kenwoods are half as goos as the sony I buy it ;-)

     I am currently running a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M 50's. They sound very good, but their sound stage is pretty much non existent, and I find the bass to lack quite a bit. I listen to a lot of atmospheric, chill step, mellow indie, dubstep, and trance music with a little bit of pop / rap...

Hello, I'm new to the forum, so I'm still a Dummie on headphones.   I have a Bose AE2 and since I saw the P5 I've been thinking if it's really worth it for 300 bucks if I paid 150 on the AE2s. I don't really care for noise isolation. And I wanted a headphone for home use and the sound...

First, please forgive me I did recently just post, but I wasn't able to edit my thread (was too much text before). Right now I own the hd280s, I have for years and absolutely love them. But about a year ago I decided upgrade time, and got some BeyerDynamic DT880s. Back when I got these I was...

I love my Sennheiser 598's but I feel for certain types of music they are lacking in bass.  I'm looking for headphones that would go well as a contrast to these headphones, with a budget of up to $300 but not a hard limit.

Hey all, I've been mostly into IEMs for the 2 years I've been on Head-Fi, and I've got pretty much everything I want in that department, but I'm beginning to dabble with a friend in producing electronic music, so I want to take it to the next level and get a real full-size can.   I have 3...

Right now I currently own the ATH-M50's and XB500's. I'm looking for something that has detailed sound quality like the M50's, but they lack some bass(to me atleast). I got used to the bass on the XB500's and I'm a basshead, but I also love outstanding sound quality. So, maybe something similar...

Just traded my ATH-ESW9 for my friend's T70 a few months since he said he really needs something portable. I noticed that these headphones lack texture and bass details, but when I press them against my ears, they sound like a totally different headphone. The bass suddenly become really detailed...

Forgetting bluetooth, noise cancelling, comfort, and all other such factors.. which of these headphones would you guys consider as the best in terms of sound quality alone? Given that all of them are used in their peak form, without any amps! Listening Genre is rock and metal. 

Hi,   I've been looking around for the past few months to replace/upgrade from my dying/dead Audio Technica ATH-M50's. As a result, and after seeing all the possibilities, I ended up creating the "Mid-Fi Closed Portable Battle 2012 Discussion" thread, seeing as many people were in similar...

I'm looking for something with a heavy bass, (Large Drivers) such as the XB500 or XB1000. Preferably over ear and closed cans, but I'm fine with open cans. Over ear is mandatory though. Price range doesn't really matter, as long as it's reasonable to buy. (under 1000$)

My old D5000's turned into this.     So now i need advice on what to get.   Anything that improves upon the D5000 is welcome. Except for the D7000.

Hello I ask for your help in the choice of headphones. I purchased a pair of denon ah d2000 and now after a month, the seller tells me that it can't send because they are finished.   Now I need an alternative. I listen r & b, nusoul, hip pop, brit pop, indie and pop and very important film...

So,   I received a pair of ATH-M50's for Christmas a few years ago, but never quite fell in love with them.  Listened to them just 4 or 5 times after breaking them in for ~ 40 hours.   I think overall closed headphones aren't just for me.  Could you please recommend a headphone that: ...

Im looking for a nice upgrade from the AKG q701. I really like the sound of clarity and sound stage of the q701's. Bass seems just fine to me in these headphones. But i want something that sounds Neutral, not so hard to amp. and has a nice smooth sound to it. I listen to alot of Jazz Like Paul...

k after extending my collection a bit, i have to say i am totally not cool with bright headphones, especially since they hurt your ears at higher volumes. what i'm looking for are warm, full sized, closed headphones, with clear (but not too bright) treble and punchy bass. any suggestions?
