After using and loving my Sennheiser HD-25 II's for about a year I'm ready for an upgrade or just new sound. I'm thinking I want a closed headphone that I can use outside my house but if open phones are that much better I can make that sacrifice. Some thing's I have been looking at are the...

Hi!   I am looking for headphones with price up to 400$. My current setup consists of the following, laptop with lossless music, FiiO E7 as DAC and FiiO E9 as amp. Will be listening only at home.   Today went to store to try out some models which:   Beyerdynamic DT990 (32ohm) -...

So after using my Sennheiser IE80 iems for a while i've decided to sell them off because of discomfort issues. I haven't sold them yet but they will be in the For Sale section soon if anyone's interested.   Anyway this is a big disappointment to me because the IE80s offer everything i ever...

Lately, there are a ton of new headphones that came to market or is coming from major brands and Head-Fi members in the form of mods.  What is the one or two headphones you like to see (video) and read a review on?  Let's keep the price at $199+.   I am excited about the V-Moda M-100.

I wanted to share some quick impressions on my search for a new full sized headphone.  Practicality and portability are important to me.  I travel often and they need to be durable and able to be powered off of a portable amp and the occasional laptop/iphone/sansa.  I am in NYC this week for...

As I'm leaving for university, and giving my ATH M50s to my sister, it's time for new cans.   I'll use them in my room, alone, for music mainly (jazz to rock to electronica), then films and gaming. Good noise cancellation. Comfortable for long hours.   Price 400 - 450$. No need for...

I'm off to uni in a week, and leaving my M50s for my sister.   Time for new cans.   Use: Music in dorm room, while studying - so isolation from the outside world is a must.   Music ranges from Radiohead to Deadmau5 and Miles Davis, all FLAC.   The HD650s caught my eye as bang for...

Hey guys,   I'm looking for a new headphone in the $400 - $500 range. I really like bass - mids - treble (in this order), or at least that's what I think. I really liked my modded D2000's, so I might buy one with Lantinen cups back. Unless there are really good headphones that beat them by a...

I'm going portable with my new love for making music (Dubstep/Electro House/ Hip Hop)   So I got a New Macbook Pro/Tools and soon will have everything setup. Now I need a good pair of audio headphones to go with my portable studio. Since I do a lot of traveling I find myself in weird...

Hi all, I still dream of an LCD-2, but I'm pretty sure it will remain out of reach unless I sold all my gear (which would leave me listening to it out of my laptop).  I have read a bit about a modded T50rp being able to get 80% the way to an LCD-2.  While it might be hyperbole based on the...

Is there a better neutral headphone than the Paradox (T50RP mod)? I already have the Paradox and I'm just wondering if there is anything else left to upgrade to.

Hi, I'm in the market for a great, long-lasting pair of full-size closed headphones.  I've been browsing the Head-Fi forums for a while now and have gotten quite a lot of great information (thanks!).  After demo-ing a few models at a local pro-audio store, I'm left with a few questions that they...

Current Setup: Audinst-Hud-MX1 -> AKG Q701 / Sennheiser HD 280.   I like my setup a lot but here's the problem - Q701 are too detailed for bass heavy music like electronic and hip hop. HD 280's on other hand do those genres well but get too sweaty and uncomfortable really quick.   What I...

Hi - relative newbie here although lurking for long time.   I am thinking about acquiring a desktop computer system that is relatively inexpensive (have $500 in my account for this).  I currently have an old pair of Grado 60's that I plug directly into my laptop - my Grado's are about 15 years...

Hey Head-fi, just want a quick input on my next upgrade. I'm currently using two main headphones - the Denon D5000 and AKG K701, hooked up to an O2 amp. I don't have enough cash for high-end stuff, but I'm looking at headphones around the $400-700 range.   TBH, this will be my first purchase...

I'm looking to improve my music set-up but I'm not sure whether there is a "weak link" in my chain or if I should simply add another pair of headphones to my collection. Currently I am Using: Sources: PC / iPod Touch 1st Gen / Samsung Galaxy S3 (wolfson Chip) all with .m4a apple lossless files...

Greetings Headfi-ers!   I'm a newbie here after sticking around looking at reviews and comments in the forum and also relatively new to the world of high end equipments (about three months). I've always been itching to ask questions here but due to the lack of experience in the audio field...

Hello, and a premature thank you to anyone who can help. I am trying to find a really, really nice pair of headphones, and I think I found what I want. I would rather like to get the Audeze LCD2 Rosewoods. I would just like to get some extra background opinions. To anyone who owns/owned these...

Im planning on selling my atm-m50 for a better closed can. I listen mostly to rock and pop rock, sometimes electronic but very rarely. Which headphone is best for rock and pop rock at the 300 dollar price range. Is the AKG K550 good for rock? Also, could you suggest something other than the akg...

Good Day   I want to get a new pair of headphones and I've come to HE-400 and Paradox T50RP. Which one do you think is a better choice and if anyone own both of them, it would be great if compare them briefly.     Music Preferences: Metal (Drone, Sludge, Doom) Ambient Martial...

Hi all   I've been looking at buying a pair of Fostex T50RP to send to LFF for modification.   Having bought two pairs of T50RP's in the past for my own modification pleasure, and gotten one pair of Mk II and one pair of Mk I which were described as Mk II, I'm worried about buying the...

Another newbie here . I just got into sound soon after I buying my a30's for gaming. Now I'm seeking out true audiophileism and need some help.    Im looking for something purely for music. What I listen to is mostly indie, rock, folk, jazz, and some bluegrass. So probably need some cans...

So I'm looking to buy a new pair of headphones, my issue is I have never heard the three headphones in the title. I had the LCD-2 rev.2 but had to sell them to help pay for expenses when I moved recently. I'm going to be saving on for my next pair which will prob take me 2 months or more. I...
