    M50's making noise that's not supposed to be there

    I got my m50's about a month ago, and about a week after I got I noticed that when I was listening to some bassy songs, there would be some noises coming out of the left speaker that aren't supposed to be there, sorta like wobbly or something. Not sure how to explain it but it happens when...

    Sennheiser HD 380 Pro

    Hey everybody, this is my first post on Head-Fi =). As the title suggests, I've got a question about the HD 380 Pros. When I was researching headphones and came across these Sennheisers, nearly every single review praised the passive noise attenuation, saying that you can't hear anything else...

    Looking for a pair of noise-canceling headhpones for my dad (who knows nothing about sound)

    I'm an entry-level audiophile, so I scoffed when he asked me if he should buy a pair of Bose cans.  He's basically looking for something noise-canceling for planes, trains, etc.  I doubt he could tell the difference between anything, sound-quality wise, so that's not really a concern.  $$ is...

    Limits of Noise Canceling Headphones

    I have several pairs of more than decent over ear headphones, along with an ATH-M30 and an HFI-580. I love my 580s, and I am always very satisfied with the amount of noise they block out and their very balanced natural sound quality (More than my other headphones, anyway.) Recently, I took my...

    Headphones with noise isolation like Bose quietcomfort *battery operated* with great audio and bass for 150 or less?

    There anything comparible? I like a bit of bass but not overly thumping. Maybe some better bass than bose, and better audio clairty (if possible). I liked the quiet comfort and how it works with the triple a battery, was wondering if any other brands use the same technology with the same or...

    Former Bose User - Need a Recommendation!

    Hi all,   After a good 5-year run with my Bose QuietComfort2 headphones, an x-mas gift, they seem to have finally died for good. Nothing happens when I try to turn the power on on the side, and they were pretty beat up already (one side held together with electrical tape). I am thinking now...

    Another newbie's what-to-do-with-no-$ question

    Hi there: I've just signed up, after a lot of poking around in various forums trying to figure out which way to go.

    Physically Flat Headphones

    I am the owner of two solid pair of headphones, but they are too wide, I need nice long headphones that are narrow and cover most of the ear's area. They should be relatively portable because I want them for when I am in the subway or on the run.   To specify, they don't need to be sports...

    Headphones for around ~ HD 598

    What headphones would be the best around the price range of the HD 598.   Also would the headphones require an amp, if so recommend me one, price range maybe a 100-200$, some thing around there   I don't want a amp that "color" the sound. I'm on a budget, so no amp if possible.

    Sennheiser BTD 300I & Sennheiser PX 360 BT

    Hi guys, I can't honestly say I know anything about what physically goes into making a good headphone but this set seems like a good alternative to lugging around wires wherever I go. It'd be nice just to get some opinions on whether bluetooth headphones as a concept are any good at all and if...
