I'm starting to concider these 2 headphones now as they seem to best meet my criterias.   I'm looking for the following:   - Quite bassy but balanced mids & highs signature - Balanced midbass (80 - 150Hz) vs subbass (0 - 80Hz) presence - Looking for textured punchy bass with impact...

Has anyone compared these cans?  I figure they're pretty different...Please advise which would the better of the three to buy...Thanks!

I've recently bought some PSB M4U 2's and was wondering if I would notice a big difference using an amp with them? I've been looking at a Fiio E17 or E11. I could also use the Dac in the E17 on my PC or Laptop. I travel alot for work so being portable is a must.   The M4U 2's can be used...

Recently got a set of PSB M4U1 and now after a amp to improve it.   I use a iMac playing flac files via VOX. So I believe my best call is to get not just a amp but also a dac. Dosen't need to be portable so hopefully that should save some money vs portable ones.   Went to 'Jaben Audio'...

My plan was to get the Sennheiser HD598's and the PSB M4U1's, but the thought occurred to me that one pair of HiFi Man HE-400's would be less expensive overall.   Please note that the PSB M4U1's are $300 and the Sennheiser HD598's are currently on sale for $150 at Fry's. That's $450 for both...

Browsing around this forum, I've heard lots and lots of great things about the Sennheiser MOMENTUM. When my old headphones (A pair of Gemini HSR-1000 studio reference 'phones), which I loved dearly, developed a major rattling and significant lack of bass in the left ear, I was very, very sad...

I was considering getting a pair of M-100s, but it looks like they aren't quite as audiophile friendly as I'd hoped. I'm looking for a fairly transparent set of headphones that will work with a wide variety of genres and are suitable for mixing, and from what I've been reading the M-100s don't...

I've currently got this, the Senn Momentum, and the Sony MDR-1R in-house. Sonically I think the PSB is pretty fabulous and is beating out the other two, but I have to say that I have my concerns about construction and durability. And they're BIG. Sheesh! Purely from a design and comfort...

Both are priced $250 on Amazon at the moment and I was wondering what would be the better option? I listen to a wide variety of music but probably I would go on the more modern side of things with the occasional old school rock and disco. I've had my ATH-M40X for quite a while now and I'm...

While I have been reading head-fi for about 6 mos, I am a new poster. I decided to get a decent set of phones about 6 mos ago. After tons of research and listening to dozens of phones settled on the PSB m4U 2. It is one of the best purchases I have made. Unfortunately it led me down this rabbit...

So i am a Bass lover and between those 3 headphones, which one is the ** Bassest** (the one who has more bass).   Cause i am sure that the 3 have a good sound quality i have no doubt about it, So i was hesitating and i said to myself :  - If i know that they all have a good sound quality...

Hi I'm new here but actually have been reading for a long time. About 2 years ago I get a pair of Klipsch s4 based on reviews and recommendations I found mostly in here and I just love them. That time was kind of an easy pick cuz the klipsch were the perfect fit for my budget. Unfortunately...

Hello all!   Realistically i am interested in both headphones, but i will only buy one. Which is better in audio quality (best all rounder) and comfort ONLY, i am not interested in build quality etc as they will live at home on my desk or on my head. I have a slightly larger than average head...

Hello all, I've been looking into both of these headphones for weeks now and I just can't decide between the two. I am going for the most natural and pleasing sound I can get. I use headphones on the bus, when walking around campus (I'm a college student), and when just doing homework at my...

Hey all,   I'm relatively new to the audiophile headphone market.   I currently own:   AKG Q701 Sennheiser HD 555 Sennheiser PX 200 II   Right now the only headphones I bother to amplify are the Q701s. My amp is a cMoyBB v2.03 from JDS Labs, and it makes the Q701s sound a bit...

Hi,   Im looking into buying new headphones and i wanted your advice on the matter. My budget is approx. 150 - 200 euros and i want to make the best possible choice on the matter. I need the best possible audio quality on the predefined budget. I currently own sennheisers RS180 wireless but i...

They're all similar in price, I don't have much experience in closed headphones sadly, does anyone know how they compare to one another? I'm certain answers will be useful to many in the future too.

Hi I'm looking to spend approximate £250 to £300 on headphones, I recently brought the m4u1's which were good but had to be returned as faulty, I've considered the m4u2's as they offer passive and neutral and noise cancelling and I really like the style of the sennheiser Momentums (the more...

Hi There, I've been reviewing the different closed headphones here and have narrowed down my choices to a few. I'm looking to audition these choices now and wanted to find out if anyone knew where I might be able to find these in Calgary. Specifically I'm looking to audition the ATH-M50, HD...

Hey, guys so I was looking for new closed headphones in the 350 or lower price range. And there's a looooot to choose from. So I've decided to make a poll, where you can vote for your favourite headset to help me choose :3   Now if you vote it would be awesome if you leave a comment stating...

Hello,   I'm looking for a pretty decent jack of all trades to use both at home and on the go.  I mostly listen to IDM and ambient but also various electronic, indie, hip-hop, classical and more.  I would ideally like to spend less than $300 but my budget is flexible.  It's important that...

Just picked up a new set of the PSB M4U 2's, I seriously love the sound quality I get from them, but I've noticed while I have Noise cancelation on I get static, not a good thing for $399 headphones. Has anyone experience anything similar.? I've been thinking in swapping them and getting the...

1) How large are the earcups? My AKG K240s are large enough, but the Sennheiser Momentums are too small for me.   2) Do they benefit from an amp? They're 32 ohms, and I've heard that they don't require one, but would a fiio e17 be a significant improvement? (for the amp or DAC) I'm currently...

I made a thread yesterday about a group of headphones. I narrowed it down to the Sennhieser Momentums and the PSB M4U 2. I normally listen to around 3 clicks before halfway on an iPod and I listen to all genres. I now that one is NC and the other isn't and that there are other options for less...
