Hello, i just joined sorry for my bad english  i'm Italian .   I wanted to buy my first my first open headphones and listen mainly rock with a sansa clip+ rockbox or pc (flac). My budget is 300 Euro.   Thanks  Carlo

I'm new here but have been doing a lot of searching on the forums and haven't been able to find anything quite like what I'm looking for. I'm a long time musician who is finally deciding to really make the jump into being more of an audiophile. I have a nice set of studio monitors that I love at...

I currently have the m50 and the hd555, i have used them for quite a while and would like to know what i should do next. I am not sure if i should buy a better pair of headphones or get a dac, amp, or even a soundcard for that sake.   Whatever it comes down to could i get a price estimate i...

hey guys i want to get a very good looking white headphone and i think these two are the best for my taste but i cant decide which one is more efficent both about the sound and the isolation. thanks a lot

As a current Dt990 owner, I have to say I am loving what i see!

Hello there everybody! I am new to the forum and I am looking for a new around ear headphones that i can use on public transport and long bus trips. I have no external amps, just my ipod and some classical rock and some She and Him. My two options that i found were the Shure SRH840 and the...

Just saw this on Sony web site.  I wonder why?  

Does anybody have these yet? If so, how do they sound? They have 70mm drivers and are open back. Sony describes a special mechanism that allows strong bass despite it being open backed. Looks intriguing.

I'm new here so firstly wanna say hi...Great website you guys have got here, very informative.   I have been producing jungle drum and bass for around 8 years and circumstances have recently pushed me into requiring headphones for mixing, almost in place of my monitors.(I am aware this is...

I find it unbelievable how I couldn't find an appreciation thread for these uniquely balanced closed cans. I am not saying uniquely balanced meaning that they have a weird unique balance on their own although they do but I say this because It is rare among closed headphones to find something...

Hi,  Currently, I am considering to buy the Audeze LCD2 However, the only thing that I am worried about is the place where I stay.   My room has quite high level of humidity (tropical area with no air conditioner at all) Hence, I am worried that I will grow a colony of fungus on the...

Hi guys,   i'll be getting a new set of headphones as part of my new PC and just wanted to get some opinions between my selections.   Ive narrowed it down between the Sennheiser HD 598's and the Astro A40 2011. Now a majority of people recommend the 598s as they give the best sound...

I will get the chance to audition these three at my local shop in the next week where the T1 and LCD2 are priced $1000 and the HD800 $1200. I will be listening 90% of the time through an iphone (320mp3) and ALO RX mkII and 10% of the time through a Cyrus CD/ Amp output to the ALO (the Cyrus...

So I've been searching for a closed can to be my second go to for a long time. There weren't that many options up until fairly recently but now with so many hitting at once I'm not sure where to look anymore so I'm looking for impressions and comparisons on the various choices.   Ultrasone...

I have come across so many people who, like myself, own and love headphones from both of these excellent companies - Grado Labs and Beyerdynamic - so I figured it was time that we have our own thread. Of course, now that I say that there probably won't be anyone who posts here, but I KNOW YOU'RE...

I'm leaning towards the Denon AH-D5000's or 7000's, but I'd like to see what everyone else thinks on this matter. They have to be closed back (if there are any open back headphones with little bleeding feel free to throw those into the mix). Price range doesnt matter, I'm interested in quality. 

Hi, I'm actually really clueless about headphones, I only got my first pair 3 years ago as a birthday present- Panasonic RP-HTX7-W1. (over ear headphones) I really really like the sound quality of it but unfortunately i broke it when I stood up while it was still plugged into my laptop. (the...

Money is a tight at the current moment, and I'd really like to have a new pair of headphones for music and a new headset for gaming, but I can't really afford both, so I was wondering what would be the best headphone for gaming and listening to music (Mainly rock/alternative). I only have ~$300...

I am trying to determine which full sized can sounds like the EX1000.   So far, no one in the full sized forum has heard this Sony iem.   Thank You

Hello head-fi community. Ive been lurking around these forums for a while, and i have two headphones that caught my attention, but i dont know which one would be perfect for me. So im asking you guys for help in deciding between the Samson SR850 and the Panasonic RP-HTF600-S   Ok, so...

I am looking for some new relatively inexpensive full-sized headphones which are highly moddable. I will use them at the computer for playing Counter-Strike and listening to mostly rock music, however I would definitely like some nice punchy bass. Therefore I have been looking for some...

Hey guys,   So I got my hands on some 24bit flac that has 96,000Hz sample rate. While I understand that the higher bit rate and sample rate the better it sounds, is sample related to "frequency response" in any way? I'm using the audio technica ATH-M50 and it has a response from 15-28,000...

I was going to buy these at advancedmp3players.com but apparently they just stopped selling it. So now I have to find a new, legit reseller that ships to europe and offers at least 1 year warranty (but I'd much rather have 2 of course which advancedmp3players.com offered).   Do you know any...

Does anyone else have these headphones. I read around and everywhere people are saying that the treble is pretty bright but doesn't venture into sibilance. Well I just bought them and WOW they are VERY VERY sibilant to my ears.   People from this topic...
