I've had a pair of HD202's for awhile, and after running across the EH 350s, I started entertaining the idea of converting mine to open back.  I couldn't find a whole lot related to this idea on the net, so I figured I'd just ask.  Is converting [any set of] headphones to open-back a bad idea?  

Hello Fellow Head-Fi Headphone Lovers,   HeadRoom was fortunate to have Ronny Tsai President/CEO of Spider Audio drop by our booth (incognito!) at T.H.E. SHOW in California last weekend and present us with his brand-new Moonlight full-size sealed headphones. We debuted it over the course of...

I was able to spend some time with this headphones so I thought I give you my thoughts on it in a video.  It's an amazing open design headphones.  It's like having an open MDR-Xb1000 but with better highs and mids.  I wish I have more time with this review unit so I can compare it to other Open...

Can anyone reccomened any of these? I've found them all for good prices. I'm interested in the audio for each of them, or if there are any MAJOR design flaws in them. It would even be good if you could just cross one of them off my list 

Looking for a high-end set of cans that would be optimal for the trance genre. I have no budget, looking to spend a minimum of $800, but would like to see suggestions in the thousands. Some cans that i remember but havent looked too far into are audeze lcd2 and lcd3 and ultrasones signature pro...

I am kind of on the $100 budget. I know I made so many threads for helping me find a pair of headphones, but I wanted this to be a little more clear and tell you what I am truly looking for. I know it may seem impossible, but I want to try and get closest to the sound I am looking for. I know...

Hi,   This is my first post here and I'm very happy to join to such a great community.   I want to buy a pair of headphone and upgrade from my AKG K240S. Hifiman HE-400 grabs my attention but when I went to head-direct I found out that it has another model that is 449 $. Can anyone tell...

I've been seeing scares of fake M50's. Unfortunately I ordered a pair before I knew there were fakes around.   I just wanted to see if any of you can tell me: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ULAP4U/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00   this is legit, right?

How are the Sennheiser HD 202? I am asking this because ive never had a pair of full size headphones, and I want something to get me started. I would like to know how these are compared to my Klipsch Image X10. I know they wont come very close to what the Klipsch Image can do, but can they at...

For example:   Rodrigo y Gabriela's new album "Area 52"...   I find this music in some sections to be very, very fast, and with some complex parts.    So, in this album, with the combination of Rodrigo y Gabriela's high emotion energy, and with the addition of an almost salsa-esqe...

I go by train to school and i want portable bassy headphones ( for rap/hip hop) to listen to. You can give me other suggestions. Anything Under $100.

I'm searching for a pair of headphones that have:    Really good sound quality    Comfortable    Stylish (doesn't have to be as long as the rest of the requirements are fulfilled)    Circumaurul or Closed    Good isolation   Comes with a hard case  ...

Just wondering if it's normal for the first use, but I hear electrical feedback in the headphones so far after a couple hours of use.   No amp, just plugged into my laptop where I watch movies on a regular basis.   So far, it's an electrical tone or beep that can change slightly after...

New to the site and I have a quick question. My father is a custom furniture maker and we have decided to use the speakers/electronics in a pair of headphones to make a custom pair of wooden over-ear headphones. Is there anywhere to find a how to or tips and best practices. He has and incredible...

tl;dr - comfortable headphones, £200 - £300, predominantly for trance/progressive house/DnB, driven from audio-gd NFB-5, D2000/K701/DT880/HD650/AD900?   I've just moved into a new house & to my utter dismay sound travels between the bedrooms very easily so the new speaker setup I just spend...

The major criticism for AKG K70X is they are too analytical and less engaging... I have read that Q701s are 'bit' warmer. Could anyone tell whats their opinion about Q701 on being 'musical enough', fuller sounding etc

From my limited experience I find headphones that grip hard are uncomfortable. Although they may sound good, certain folks may not be able to listen to them for long. Perhaps it is not so much on the clamping force but the whole thing sticking to the head like a parasite, or the pressure that...

ok so i have the hd 380s for about a week now and i just find them lacking its a hollow type of sound that has no life, they work good for music but for movies they just sound odd and when gaming some stuff sounds good but like movies people voices just sound off and lacking and i just cant get...

I read it from another forum, and Denon's about to come out with this new flagship model called D7100.  Original source: http://bbs.headphoneclub.com/thread-182305-1-1.html http://www.andaudio.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=101128        ...

I have had the Denons for a couple of days now and haven't been all that thrilled with them. First they just don't feel very comfortable to me compared to all my other cans (yes, I know, most people think they are extremely comfortable). Second, the sound has a kind of closed-in, almost...

Price: I'm going to be pretty vague about this one. I certainly don't believe you need to pay a fortune to get something really good. I'm not looking for the best; I want something that is a great value. But I'm willing to pay for headphones that will last a lifetime. Design: Full-size...

HI, im brand new to this forum, but I have a question for those "in the know". I currently own the Audio Technica ATH A700 headphones, and to me they sound excellent. Of course I bought them years ago, long before I knew what to look for in headphones, and figured they must be good if they were...

I work in a shared office.  I need full-sized cans that isolate well enough to not annoy my officemates.  My JH13 is too annoying to keep inserting and removing throughout the day.  My brand-new Denon D5000 leaks too much.   I like transparency, high resolution, and full-range reproduction...

Im currently using a pair of bose ie2s..in ear headphones. I really want to upgrade to a really good over the ear phones. I listen to a lot of heavy rock and dubstep, and after extensive research i came across the m-audio q40s . Is the increase in sound quality worth it? Im very unfamiliar with...

i bought a Sony MDR-XB500 headphones form amazon.co.uk. It cost be around £40 ($ 62) .    and this package came with the headphone. it says made in Thailand. But i found few other different packaging boxes in the internet. Why these headphones comes in different packages? im have doubts...
