In the market for either IEM or a full-sized cans (closed) that can be driven without AMP. Budget around $160 (USD) remote location means I'm stuck at ordering online. Any recommendations? Going to venture outside inner-fi this time - need more input.   Previously owned cans: - HD201 - HD202...

Hi to everyone!   This would be my first pair of "large" headphones, after years and years of in-ear phones.   I would like something ok, but not expensive at all. Something simple yet "flexible", that I can use to listen some music with my mp3 player/phone and to watch a film on my pc as...

I own around 5 pairs, 2 of them I normally use on a daily basis. I'm thinking of selling the rest because first of all, I only have one head and secondly, I barely use them now) but I'm not sure if I'll miss them... Here's what I have:   Denon D2000(I use almost everyday) Sennheiser HD...

A friend is looking to get his son a set of headphones for his iPod. Wants a full sized sealed design (so no Grado SR60), and with a price around $60 (US). His son has hinted for a pair of Hesh2 or Skullcruishers from Skull CandySkullCandy, but all my kid's friends with those have had them fail...

like some other people,  i take care of my cans like they're delicate babies.   and just holding on to them while walking around in school seems just too much for me to cringe about.   i want to be able to keep them in my Bookbag, but i cant do that because of the rowdiness of school...

Hello all, I've just joined after lurking for a week or two. Found the forum after searching for headphone reviews when looking for a decent-quality set of portable over-ear cans. After reading quite a few reviews and a visit to my local Richer Sounds hifi store I got myself a lovely pair of...

Go to mp3ornot.com and take the test using the best headphones you can. See if you can tell the difference between a 128kbps and 320kbps mp3 file. They use a random selection of music, some of it's a little disingenuous as they pick some tracks that would tend to mask compression artifacts, so...

I am looking for some proper headphones for listening to metal and rock. My budget is around 60$. I currently have the Sennheiser HD201.

[ Sorry for my English! ]   Hi. I was looking for a new headphones for myself and I found the XQISIT XQ Stereo Bluetooth Headset in the local store. They turned out to be really solid and very comfortable (!) but there were two issues for me: the price and the bass.   XQISIT XQ Stereo...

Hi, I've been wanting to purchase more headphones to add to my collection and rather than ask details about the sound, I thought that this method may get me responses faster and I can use it as reference for some future purchases. I own all the headphones in my sig, except Stax, but one...

I have some HP700 which sound great with music, but not having an amp of any kind makes them not that good to use with my pc, and the short coiled cable isn't the best to plug, not to say they aren't exactly the most comfortable headphones I've wore, that being said, can anyone tip me about some...

Hi,   There is a lot of information on these forums and I am thankful for it. Having done my research I am a bit more confused on what I should buy and wanted advice from this community.   My usage would primarily be for PC gaming and movies with some light play on PS3 (I primarily play...

I know this should probably go in another section but I am just wondering if anyone in this area is active on this site since I have not met any other audiophiles or head-fi'ers around here. It would be cool to meet someone with other full size headphones to try.

Hi there,   It's been a very long time since I have been on this site. Mostly because I'm content with what I have and don't need anything new. But now I need your help again. I'm looking for good closed back full sized cans with a bit of emphasis on the bass for under 15 euros. The only...

I am not, by any stretch of the term, an audiophile. I do care about sound quality and I've casually visited head-fi for a couple of years now but I'm ignorant to most of the world.   Anyway, a couple months ago I needed to replace some HD201's and came on here and found out about the...

Hi!   I would like to ask about other budget over ear headphones. I have Sennheiser HD 201.   I'm thinking of 50 to 100 dollar range the cheaper the better. I'm not in the US so I expect much higher price.   This features will be great. -removable cable -foldable -good case  ...
