Hey all, I'm a noob to the headphone scene and a friend of mine told me to try out the Superlux HD681 as my first pair. So far they've seemed like a great pair of entry cans, but I'm finding that the ear cushions wear out really quick (I've had them for about 2 months and feel like I'll...- matmer

HD 598 or AKG q701?
I'm having a hard time deciding which one of these headphones to pick up. They are both about the same price on amazon, the akg is actually about 10 bucks cheaper. Which would be the better choice? I'm just looking at sound quality. I'm fairly new to this so any help is appreciated :) Thanks- jdg214

Closed headphones with similar sound to Audio Technica M50 but without the bright treble?
As thread title says!! Any suggestions? No EQ advice please!! Ideally it should be a similar size to the M50 and in a similar price bracket. It seems most closed headphones that have heavy bass tend to recess the midrange and emphasize the highs - resulting in a 'V' shaped...- cactus_farmer

Help me choose headphones for rock/metal
Hey everyone. My friend has had some Bose Triports for a while now. He wants new headphones. He listens to only rock/metal and has a budget of $150. Open/closed doesn't matter, circumaural/supraural doesn't matter, although he prefers circumaural. Which do you think would be the best for him?- PomPWNius
