I know that Audio-Technica, AKG, Ultrasone and Shure headphones are the best and most recommended for <$100, but I know that iPhones have trouble driving them.  I'm looking for some fairly balanced, over-ear headphones that my iPhone won't have much trouble driving for around under $100.  Any...

Hello guys, been a long time lurker of Head-Fi and finally going to take the time to upgrade my headphones, I have a budget of around £120 but that can stretch a little if need be?   If I need to give any more information please let me know.   Many thanks, Luke.

Hey guys, havent been on here in a while, so I might have missed some new stuff.    I'm really looking for something primarily noise canceling (I know a lot of people don't like the active canceling ones like Bose QC 15, Sennheiser 450's , Akg has one I believe). I like to block out as much...

Hey guys, I am looking for some over the ear headphones to take to the gym with me. Here is what I am looking for:   -strait cord -works well with mp3 players -around $100 -good for listening to metal   Any suggestions?

First of all, I am new here, and I was wondering what is better: in-ear or over-ear headphones? I kinda want to try over-ear headphones, so which are the best? (I don't want to spend over $150)   a.) I listen to dubstep (I love the bass, but don't want headphones that are too overwhelming...

Hey, I bought my first pair of headphones that don't suck (denon d2000) and I gotta say they are lovely I can easily wear them for 12 hours straight without any discomfort and they sound GREAT.   Now I'm spending alot of time on campus at my school so I decided it's time to upgrade from my...

I can't find anything through my searches that has helped me enough, only guided me. So, I am not an audiophile at all; I know absolutely nothing. In fact, I believe I tried on a pair of Beats Solo HD's a few months ago and thought they were amazing.   Anyway, I've realized they are awful...

As you will probably see, i am a newby on this forum, i am living in the Netherlands. Before i start i want to excuse myself for my bad English and probably long post.   I have been looking a long time for a headphone that will fit my needs completely. I am not an audiophile at all, but when...

Please advise on the portability, SQ and noise isolation.....

Just found this website as I was searching for reviews on Over-Ear headphones and portable headphone amps. I am currently looking to upgrade my portable listening experience. I have saved up about $600 to use between a new set of over-ear headphones and a portable amp to be used with an...

I am a newbie and searching for a pair of over-ear headphones.   Where: 95% Home 5% Elsewhere   Genre: RNB, Rap 45%  Pop 40% Other 15%   Use: 40% Music 20% Movies 40% Games   Price: <$150, but would go for more   Key: Comfort is the biggest issue here. I...

If you use an over the ear phone under the ear the left and right channel is reversed. Does it matter or not? Are they made symmetric or not?

Ok, this actually isn't for me, but for my girlfriend.  She currently has Sennheiser HD239s, which is happy with sound wise, but now she's started commuting by train, at least a couple of hours a day, and obviously they let a lot of noise in and out, and are far from ideal for that.  She also...

Hello all, Im using the Bose AE2i right now on my PC for music/games/skype calls (i know bose do not get much love over here but i love them so much) I am very picky when it comes to design and comfort, let alone sound quality, I tried many cans ranging from klipsch, sony, philips, sennheiser...

Hi guys, I'm thinking about buying a good budget over the ear set of cans (open or closed). I want them to be fairly portable as my main purpose for these is travel use around campus, or on the metro, in the library, etc. I used to be an iem guy for portability, but lately I've been...

        Hello,  As you could probably tell by me not knowing anything I'm doing, I'm new around here. But I have one question. I am interested in up-grading from Beats by Dre (Solos) And BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING, because I know how you all love Beats.. I am very aware that they are very...

Hello all, I hate to bring up another one of *these* threads, Ive seen plenty of them in my search for the correct answer. Im looking for the best (in your personal opinion) set of headphones for under $100 that fit my tastes. I'm a broke college student but I would spend more if I could, and I...

My friend wants a headphone that sounds good, but doesn't want a headphone that looks weird. I am assuming that he will not buy a DAC.   Anyone got a suggestion? I have HD 25-1 II, and it's very uncomfortable to me. Something comfortable would be nice, since he said he wants to listen...

Hi there, whoever can help me out and all others!   As of recent, I've been looking around for some over-ear headphones that provide a comfortable and clear listening experience. I believe this is basically what everyone looks for, but I will first mention that I listen to metal...

Hi all,   I'm looking for a set of headphones that I can fold up, put in a carrying case and bring with me on business trips. Supra-aurals and IEMs will not be as comfortable for extended listening sessions, so circumaural would be best. However I don't know any that can be stored easily in...

Hi all. I would like some advise on a good pair headphones that I can use with my smartphone. My price limit is about $200. I'm listen to music that has a lot of bass. Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I'm looking for some advice on a new pair of cans.  I work in an open office environment, and need something that sounds good but also does a good job isolating me from the noise around me, and also isolates my music from my neighbors.  I have a pair SE535s which I use at times, but I find it...

Im getting some nice headphones for my 15 th birthday in october. I listen to rap, hip hop, rock, classical, and everything in between. I was also looking at in ear headphones because i will also be listening on my bus ride home from school. I like having powerful bass. I looked at the shure...

Got a pair of Bose AE2 headphones for my birthday an then learned that Bose is overpriced. So, I am looking for a new pair of headphones. I just use an iPod touch and Walkman for my music. I listen several hours a day primarily just at home but in the car also. It's almost all music. Enough so...
