My last thread wasn't very successful so ill try again    I had Re0, Fischer eterna rev1, DDM in mind.. idk   i just need an IEM that has sufficient isolation for bus rides and 1. spacious soundstage 3d/imaging 2. defined/detailed bass that can go low 3. low sibilance and decent comfort...

  Intro: Okay, so Fanny Wang. Ridiculous name right? I mean who in their right mind would consider naming their company after something so…provocative? So when I found the Head-Fi thread talking about them, to put it simply, I figured it was a hoax. Especially since they seemed to look like...

I have had these headphones for almost 2 months now, and whenever I change the volume on the integrated volume controller there is a extremely noticeable amount of scratchy "noise". I was wondering why this is happening and is it going to develop on the left or right sound being lost which most...

Hello all,   Not a serious audiophile myself but wondering if you could possibly offer some opinions for me?  I'm looking for a pair of portable headphones for about £20-30, possibly stretching to 40. At the moment I have my eyes on the PX 100 and 200 or the HD 218 or 228.  Would people be...

I've been looking to buy my first pair of decent headphones. I definitely want on-ear and a good mix of bass and sound quality.   I'm probably going to get crap about this, but I tried on some Beats by Dr. Dre the other day. I thought they were very comfortable and sounded good, but after...

I think one of my speakers is broken. I've tried recabling as to http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/353941/recabling-denon-ah-d1001-d1000 also I attempted the recabling because it was broken, it did not break after recabling.     I'm pretty sure that the speaker is broken as I've...

Let me first say thanks for looking.   I stumbled upon this site when searching for info on Bose v. Beats headphones and read somebody getting flamed when asking the Bose or Beats question. So, hear me out.   I currently use the Bose in ear headphones and had been looking at the ibeats...

Hi All,   I am shopping for some good quality headphones for listening to music off a phone or MP3 player on the go. I have been reading a lot on your forums the last few days but still can't decide what's best for me. I like Sennheiser because they seem to be good value for money.  ...

There are quite a few online shops in the UK selling a "Koss Portapro-BBC", they look to be standard Portapro's but are all black (no blue/red housing), and a black and white cable.   They are slightly more expensive than the standard Portapro's and have an "enhanced frequency response"...

Hey guys, I made a thread few weeks ago asking for a good gift for my friend but now he doesn't want Noise Cancellation or over the hear anymore.   He wants ON-EAR specifically, noise cancellation would be plus, but does not matter.   Only ones I see that match the reqs would be this...

I have read tons of reviews about the HD-25-1 II headphones.   I have read just a few reviews about the Denon d1100's.     I love the looks of the denons and the audio quality of the Senn's, but think the Hd25's look sort of ugly.   Are the Senn's that much better sounding than...

Hi, I am looking for on/over ear headphones for use with portable devices (an mp3 player) with the best audio quality for around 100$.   I currently own RE0, and really really love their sound, but there are times where IEMs do not serve me right, so I am looking for something that do not...

I bought these for $50 brand new shipped. I have to say that I'm very impressed. They are miles ahead of iGrado in terms of comfort and design. They are super comfortable. There is just right amount of bass and overall the sound is very impressive for 50 bucks. I was hesitating to buy them as I...

I am confused about PL-50 tips. After searching here some posts say use the PL-30 or Sony tips, some say they do not fit. Did they change the size of the PL-50s? I just got mine and need to know what will fit as all the included tips do not work for me at all.   Thanks

Hello Headfi community bit of a lurker, coming out of the shadows. I was wondering if you could help me identify these headphones. This is me as a wee lad and I'm interested in what exactly I've got on my head! Any help would be great. About me, I'm not much of an audiophile but...

Hi guys,   I was browsing ebay looking for some nice headphone deals and I saw this headphone on there. It looks like the Sony XB series of headphone, but made out of plastic. Thing is the ear pads look the same and so does the basic construction. Anybody know anything about these??  ...

Around 100 - 150 $ Cover my ear (comfy padding yay). no earbuds. Solid noise cancellation. Will be using them to workout a lot. Don't want to bust my eardrum turning up the volume to compete with the gym's music. But won't be running with them, just lifting. light weight enough to work out...

Just want to share my POV for people who want to buy this. I purchase a set of 4 pairs at $2.99 incl. shipping. They are okay but not the same as the original Sony one. It's more a rubber then soft silicon so Sony's one is nicer to wear. Size to size is almost the same, moulding of the shape...

I've got a pair on order from Karmaloop for under $60US after some promo codes. I wasn't able to find anyone on Head-Fi with any type of review on these, but from the specs and the fact that I'm a sucker for retro styling, I've decided to pick up in a pair in Avocado.  ...

Take a look at this Superlux HD681 Semi-Open Professional Headphones - MacMusic . Is this a AKG rebadged? And I would assume at $49 rrp its cheaper as well? EDIT: and Beyer DT....880?? HD-330

I'm making a switch from in ears to either on ear or over ear headphones.   I like the B&W P5 a lot. Here's why. I like the style, I like how they fit (I've tried them), I really like that I can change the cord (all my headphones have always been discarded because of the cord. After...

Hello all, my wife is looking for some new portable headphones.  I've gotten help from this forum in finding my dream home headphones (Denon D-2000s) as well as portables (Sennheiser PX-100s), so I figured I'd ask again to get some help for my wife.   She is currently using the Bose Triport...

Are there any behind the neck headphones that you guys would recommend?   Such as these:   Sennheiser PMX 60 Lightweight Portable Headphones with Neckband   or these:     Philips Rich Bass Neckband Headphones SHS5200/28 (Replaces SHS5200)   I'm just looking for some...

Full specs:  http://store.apple.com/us/product/TX584ZM/A Overview: This headset was on display when I went to the Apple store several days ago, so like I did with every pair they had out to demo, I hooked up my iPhone and gave them a listen.  I had no expectations about this pair of...
