Of course this is certainly debatable but I thought it might be interested to list some common price points and list the hp that you feel is the best dazzle for the dollar at that respective price point. I know that similar things have been done here in the past but maybe a refresh would be nice...

Hello, I am new here.. And I am wondering what are some good headphones (over ear, or in ear) for 300 dollars or under? I listen to a lot of electronic music (house, dance, dubstep) and hiphop/rap so I would most likely want a deep bass headphone, but I also do listen to a bit of indie rock and...

I've had my sr325is for a few months now (my first real pair of headphones) and I was very impressed from the moment I put them on, and even now while I'm typing. The quality and clarity is a large step-up from all of the other $30 in-ears and a pair or sr60i's I'd had previously, but the...

The title says most. I am wondering, what you would get, if you were me. The budget is around 350 dollars, and alternatively I can get my money back on my new dt-880, which would get me approximately 350 dollars extra.   I would really like a CIEM, but i am only 17, so i guess it would be...

Was looking Woo WA2, but that doesn't look so ideal for low impedance phones like Mad Dogs, ESW9, etc.  WA6se, Ray Samuels, Eddie Current seem to, based on other posts, be more "SS sounding".   So the question is...what are some good tubey sounding amps for low impedance phones (<$2000)?  ...

Hey Everybody,   I'm hoping you can help me in deciding which pair of headphones would be most suitable for my musical library and needs. Below are the details:     Will be used about 80% of the time to listen to metal: Agalloch, Dark Empire, Primal Fear, Buckethead (not sure if he...

I was considering getting a pair of M-100s, but it looks like they aren't quite as audiophile friendly as I'd hoped. I'm looking for a fairly transparent set of headphones that will work with a wide variety of genres and are suitable for mixing, and from what I've been reading the M-100s don't...

Hey all --   I currently have a pair of Denon AH-D7000s that I use at work -- except despite the closed-back everyone else can hear them.    Any suggestions on comparable quality:price that I might be able to seek in a trade?   Thanks!

Hello I currently have a JDS Labs C421 (OPPA227) and an ODAC. I think it's time for an upgrade from a portable amp to a more powerful desktop amp and perhaps a new DAC as well. I enjoy this setup, but can only imagine how much better my setup would sound with a powerful desktop amp. My current...

Closed cans required. Thanks.

Just out of curiosity. Does anyone here know of any other headphone that is easy to drive and offers as close as possible the sound of the HE-500s costing no more than $300 and is closed? Doesn't have to replicate it. Just sound as close as possible with that price in mind.

Hey there, I'm trying to find the perfect headphones for me, and so far I have narrowed my options to these two cans: the AKG K 271 MK II and the Shure SHR940. I've already seen the unboxings and the features of both headphones on youtube, so I only need you to explain me the differences...

Ok, so I am looking for a closed over ear phone. But my problem is, that $300 seems to be where alot of phones call home. Ive looked at the VMODA M100, SONY MDR-1, Mad Dogs,AKG Tiestos, Sennhesier Momentums, Denon, Beyer, ....... the list jsut keeps going on and on! I listen to dubstep...

I would like to buy a nice pair of over ear headphones. I listen to a lot of top 40 music and would use them for gaming. I would like something that doesn't have too much sound leakage and noise cancellation if possible. I liked the build of the Beats Executives, but hate the flimsy plastic...

I plan to buy my first pair of good headphones this year. I listen most of classical music (symphony most of time) and easy music. I don't want to spend too much on it but can reach $300. Not sure if HD 449, 518, 598 or AKG K518. Thanks for help. 

I've been listening to my Sennheiser HD 650's and Hifiman he-400's for a while now. But I really want to know if the He-500's are worth the price tag/upgrade. I plan on using this on my Hisound Studio 3rd anniversary. Are the He-500's hard to drive? Do they require more power than my He-400. and...

While searching I came across this site a lot, so I decided to ask it here.   I need an affordable (max +- € 400) headphone that sounds quite awesome.   - closed back - connectable to my ipod touch without amp - clear, well balanced sound - I listen to a lot of music but mostly...

Picky Customer in the UK, that's me.   I know i went on and on about the Bose AE2, cos they were comfortable. I've had them for over a year, no complaints.   Well i bought my husband a pair of Sony MDR-V6 for Xmas - but he ain't getting them!!!!!!!!!!   Omg what the flipping 'eck...

I've been doing research, but seeing as how this will be my first step into higher-end headphones I thought I'd post. I've never heard open headphones before and to my knowledge there aren't any places local to Birmingham, AL for me to audition headphones in general. There's a local Guitar...

I was wondering if you guys can help me out.  Currently I have a HD600 + Lyr + Bifrost combo which I love, but I am looking for a set of headphones with these criteria for electronica/vocal trance/synthpop:   - Fast and controlled bass response - Deep and high impact bass but not muddy -...

Hi everyone, it's my first post here, i m not english fluent so sorry for my english.  Also, i really don't know if i m in the good place to ask this, if not, don't hestitate to notify me.    Ok, so, since 1 year I have a tinnitus :( and i can't stand anymore the Intra earphones (my last...

I have audio technica athm50s but I'm looking for something with a little more feel to it. Specifically, I want to hear every little detail in the music. I listen to almost every genre so something close to a flat eq would be preferred. Must fit around ears. $300 budget with a little flex. I was...

I'm a high school student looking for a pair of over-ear headphones that will be used when I'm on the way to school, in library, when I'm traveling, and studying.    Basically my point is ... -Over-ear, prefer detachable cords and not too long -Not too ugly looking, and closed back...

So out of these two headphones, around the same price, which one is worth more of the money? Is there any other headphone that can compare? To be more precise, which headphone is best from $300-$400 and is good for classic, 60's-70's music and hip hop, dubstep, electronic.....???? ( will be used...

I didn't know where to post this exactly as it's about upgrading my headphones and amp...     I haven't been on here in quite some time, but have recently gotten back into headphone listening and am considering doing some upgrades, but want to see which upgrade path to take.   By...
