Hello Head-Fi,   I'm currently a satisfied owner of a Titanium HD, Matrix M-Stage and a Q701. I've had this setup for two years now and it's been truly great. I listened to a lot of rock, folk, prog and acoustic music with this setup and it always sounds super nice. However, the past few...

Sennheiser HD 280 pro are  fine  cans for the  money(especially  at current prices)  good bass extension reasonably tight well  controlled bass smooth slightly rolled off treble fairly   balanced midrange .  They do require a long break in and get better after months of  use  HD 280 pro's...

The application is for streaming gaming audio, so isolation is a requirement, even though it might hurt the soundstage. I am going to be using Polk 6750s for music, movies, and most gaming, and closed circumaurals (which I've found are generally, although not exclusively, superior in comfort to...

Hello everyone. I've been looking for a new pair of headphones since my IEMs recently bit the dust. The only experience I have with headphones is the Pioneer MJ51, which had terrible build quality - one the speakers actually broke off the headband :mad:. So I had to turn to some IEMs that came...

Hey there guys, so I've been producing EDM (electro/dutch/house) for a little over 4 months now.  I use FL studio and crappy logitech speakers (here and there) and beats by dre to produce all my songs on. (yes I know beats by dre are **** on a stick, I got these as a gift.)    That being said...

So I have a pair of 8400s and I love the fit/ambient isolation/inline fader, but the sound...not so much.  I find the upper mids and mid highs abrasive.  I'm no basshead, I was using AKG 271 or 171 before this, and both those are known for their "lean" bass, but these krks seem to lack bass even...

So I was stupid listened to some peoples advice on this forum few years ago and bought these (Shure SE215) IN EAR CANAL EARPHONES or IEM or whatever, for music listening.   Lots of time has passed since I purchased those horrible earphones, I took up music professionally and get to work with...

I just got some KRK KNS 8400 headphones for Christmas, and I'm new to the nice headphone realm. I love everything about these headphones except for the cable. It isn't that bad, but the length does bother me a bit as I prefer a more portable cable (the stock ones are about 7 ft I believe?). They...

Looking at an extra set of ear pads and trying to decide. From my reading beyerdynamic velour are good. I also read the memory foam on the krk kns 8400 are really nice. The other as the beyer jellies but they look to be discontinued.

Hey people, i would love to do a comparison myself but my budget won't allow it yet.   I own the KRK's at the moment and i must say they really do sound nice, especially for metal and punk. I believe them to be really quite neutral and so far proven themselves against my Rockit RP6 G2's so...

Hello guys, i need your recommendations for my next headphone that I'll purchase in the near future. I've owned the HD595 and kns8400 for quite some time. The kns8400 really needs an amp to boost up its volume so that's the reason I don't want to bring it around so much. I'm looking for a...

Need recommendations for best sub-$100 USB headphone amp/DAC to match best ~$100 headphones, taking into account driving capability/matching.  Prices may be for used.  Under $100 for each is target.   Headphones under consideration from the "Best ~$100 Headphone thread"   AKG K240...

KRK KNS-8400 vs Sennheiser HD800 & Beyerdynamic Tesla T1   Can anyone please compare the KRK with the  Sennheiser HD800 & Beyerdynamic Tesla T1. Thanks, any information on the pro's and cons will be helpful. My main objective is non colored, transparent and balanced dimensional "3d stage...

My interest in headphones started about a year ago while tracking drums using Sennheiser HD 205's and AKG K77's and thinking their must be something better than this for overall audio quality and isolation. Shortly after that thought i was fortunate enough to stumble upon a pair of KRK KNS...

I listen to everything apart from rock so want some good all around headphones... Just wondering if these would be good for a bit of everything, they are right at the top end of my £100 budget. I like thongs a bit bassy but would rather have good Mids and highs over just good lows.. So would...

So, I purchased the m50s and found they weren't all that comfortable by comparison to my other headphones(AD700s, HD555s, Astro A40s) and thought I'd see if there were other monitoring headphones which were more comfortable. I ran across a thread on head-fi which had a whole bunch of people...

Hey head-fi.   So i recently bought the KRK KNS 8400 headphones, and nearly at first listen, i got the feeling "these doesn't fit me" - balance wise. There was not enough bass, and the highs was in some occasions a "tsst". Tomorrow or someday soon, i'll be returning them to the store where i...

I'm looking to buy a pair of decent headphones, and i think for my taste, it's going to be one of these. The comfort is an important factor. Also the headset will be used without any amp. My taste of music is very extensive.   Which one should i get ?

I currently own the Bose Around Ear (first version) and i am considering upgrading to the Audio Technica ATH-M50.       Reason for upgrade: -Can't wear my bose for more than 1 hour without it starting to hurt my ears and after 2 hours it hurts the top of my head. -Looking for an...

I'm looking for a pair of headphones with good sound. Decent build quality. IDC if they are plastic just so they don't fall apart. A pair that I can wear while while I'm out, I'll be using them with my phone and when I'm home on my amp. I live with friends, and since I'll be out with them I'd...

I didn't get a response in the recommendations thread, so I will try in a thread.   I currently have the original Bose AE, and they are finally completely falling apart (pads and wire coming loose). I have been reading on here for the last few hours and have seen a ton of recommendations...

NOTE: PLEASE READ!! This is an update to the review posted below.   I owned the KRK KNS-8400 for over 6 months. Eventually I found myself not needing an extra closed portable headphone so I sold it. I always liked it, so I decided to give it another try in July 2011. I should have kept it...

tdockweiler already wrote a review of these, but I've been so blown away by them that I had to sing their praises, as well.  A shout-out thanks to him for pointing me in this direction.  I was in the market for some closed cans with good isolation, clarity and durability. I was looking at the...

About two weeks before Christmas, I had the pleasure of receiving a pair of KRK KNS-8400 studio headphones and a Fiio E11 portable amp. I've spent about an hour to three hours almost every day since then, listening to these headphones and I feel like I know them relatively well now. So, on to...
