Hello there first post since i'm new. Im a 20 year old college student looking for some appealing but has amazing sound quality. I know there the beats but for me the beats are used by everyone and is over-rated I  listen to all kind of music except jazz classical country blues. Just all...

So, I'm just going to lay this out there. I'm really, really not liking the IE7s. Way too powerful bass for my taste. They have had about 100hrs of burn in on them, and I've tried them with with a tight seal, loose seal, amped/not amped, and just can't deal with them anymore. Now I start the...

Have had trouble finding good reviews on the PS 500. Seems like its good for my uses though. How does it compare to the MS 400 also by Phiaton? How does it compare with Sennheiser hd 380 and ath m-50, as I know these headphones? If you can focus on sound quality, that is most important.   Thanks

Well after an angry adventure with UPS and customs, look at what I've got sitting in front of me...     Gorgeous packaging: MS 300 & PS 500   side by side: MS 300, PS 500 (note the huge size difference)   side by side (front view): PS 500, MS 300   side by side: PS...

I'm looking for a portable/pseudo-portable, circumaural, and comfortable headphone as my next purchase. The three I've looked at mostly have been - the Audiotechnica M50 (mostly for the value proposition), AT ESW9A, and the Phiaton MS400. Can anyone with two of these headphones, or have worn at...

Title says it all. In my own personal interest I want to know the best under $150.  HOWEVER, I like to hear discourse regardless on this kind of thing.  Go for it. 

I'm looking for a nice set of closed cans to listen to at work (no amp).  My price range is up to 300, and these two pairs of headphones are the best matches I've been able to come up with.     The major tradeoffs between these two from what I understand are comfort vs portability.  The...

Discuss!! But seriously, I'm looking for a pair of phones that completely engulf my ear, have soft, comfortable pads and are very lightweight. All recommendations are highly appreciated, as I'm looking to make a quick purchase. I like the look/feel of the senn 228's, but i hear their sound...

  I'm a newbie to high end audio, but I want to learn.  I need to find a set of headphones, but I'm finding it very difficult to do any real comparison shopping.  Money isn't really an issue, but I'd prefer to shoot for a $300 target, if possible. Last week I picked up a pair of V-Moda...

Just wondering if anyone has compared them.  Don't care if you've heard that one is better than the other, looking for personal experience.  

      Why did I do this?  I don't know, don't question great epic things lol.     The phiaton ms400 technically has on ear pads even though its said to have circumaurial. this is not a review of the stock version. Here is my overall review on the stock version...

Hey everyone, I am after a high-end pair of portable headphones and have narrowed it down to the Audio-Technica ATH-ES7 or the Phiaton MS400. I would really appreciate any feedback as to which headphone would be better (as a whole), and the pros and cons of each. I should also add I'll be...

Hello everyone, wanted to get some personal advise between these different cans.  I was mainly going to use them for mixing and editing music.  I also listen to a substantial amount of music that is heavy in bass content.  I would say the bass extension and "impact" is more favorable attribute...

Hello everyone, was in the market for some decent new cans and was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience with these two heaphones?  If any suggestions or comments good or bad...  If any better alternatives please advise. Currently using off of computer with XI-FI platinum edition...

hello, does anybody has experience with both of these??? i want to get a portable headphone and only thing that matters is sound quality....(they both passed appearance test).... So please help me decide... by the way how much better is esw10 over esw9...i will listen to those thru D2... and...

***Update*** Oct. 13th 2010   I decided to open them up and see what is inside.  The drivers are attached to the plate that unscrews, do not pull the plate, gently raise it off and take a gander at what is in there.  There are foam dampeners resting right behind the Phiaton Logo on the...

This little powerhouse is almost unheard of here on headfi, which is a shame. Reviews online are practically nil*, and to the best of my knowledge ALO Audio is the only distributor in North America. edit: Headfonia posted a review a couple weeks ago: http://www.headfonia.com/ortofon-hd-q7/  ...

I have been looking for a good pair of cans to replace my PortaPros. I currently listen to a lot of chiptunes, some indie rock, and a smattering of classical music. Both of these cans have their strengths and weaknesses, so I want you to decide. (I don't trust myself) Quick note: These cans will...

Are there portable sets that are small but still over the ears ( jvc has700, phiaton ms400ish, bose )  that have a great soundstage ?

would 160$ be too expensive?   I just saw one a few days ago listed here in mint condition for 100$ but i fear that was an immensely rare deal far below normal price.  Just curious how much they go for used.

These look interesting. http://www.phiaton.com/fulfillment/p...asp?prod=12469 Has anyone here tried them?

I am interested in both of these headphones. I like to listen to all kinds of music. I probably listen to more hip hop than anything else, so I like good bass. Which is the better headphone for sound and comfort? Thanks

I'm expecting delivery of two of the more buzzed-about new phones on the market, the flashy Phiaton MS400 and the astute and retro-looking Fischer Audio FA-004br. I've been using quality studio monitor phones for many years. About 5 years ago the Alessandro MS-1 kind of opened my ears to more...

Hi Head-fiers,   I'm looking for a pair of portable circumaural headphones. I've basically narrowed my choices down to these two because I've heard good things about their sound and I like their looks. But of course, I can only buy one. Which one would you recommend?  I already have a pair...

I'm hoping Head Fi can help me and post comparisons of these two from first hand experience.   I'm a bass head and these two have fallen into my radar as my next set of bassy closed cans. But they are either too new or too obscure that it seems doubtful anyone has listened to both.   ...
