I currently have the HD 201's. They are pretty decent quality but I would like to upgrade my sound. New headphones would cost me about $100, but I heard an amp really improves the sound quality of the 201's, so I could get a E3 amp for $13 and save some money.   What do you guys think?

One day as I was searching for "stuff" in Amazon I came across a can that in the big scheme of things was quite inexpensive. Since I already had another inexpensive closed back can I purchased it to see how well or not they would compare. In the back of my mind I also contemplated comparing...

  Hi all new to the forum so I hope this is in the correct place, if not I am very sorry about the mistake.   If it is possible I was hoping to get your advice and maybe some solid answers and a few questions that I have. I am looking at getting some new headphones for gaming and music in...

I just ordered the HD595 and I'd like to ask just how big of a change I would like to expect in sound quality coming out of a laptop/ ipod touch 2g with 320k Mp3. Currently using Hd201 and Ksc75 Thanks for all replies:)

Hello, I know very little about sound quality really, but more than your average person off the street. I have been through a couple of what I call MP3 players and various headphones and earphones. I started off with a cell phone and some crappy nokia earphones, thinking "wow I love listening to...

Sorry for making a 2nd thread about a recommendation, but I really need help. I've just purchased a Grado SR-60i (haven't received it as yet). I bought this due to the recommendations for metal, easy to drive, etc. However, I originally wanted a closed-style pair of headphones (I live with...

Hey guys,   I'm looking to buy extreme budget headphones as the title says. The main purpose for these headphones is for use in front of a computer along with an input keyboard. Since these will be bought en masse for a school library (like 10-20 max), the ideal price range for them would be...

Hello, Head-Fi. Audiophile newbie is looking for your advice here.   Brief description of my situation:   I'm a designer working long hours at my home office. Although I'm alone there most of the time and making noise wouldn't be a problem at all, somehow I always use headphones as my...

Hello everyone!   I am going to doing some air travel this spring and summer and I am in the market for a set of new headphones or earbuds that I can use while I am on the plane.   I have a cheap Sandisk Sansa MP3 player and in the past I used the ear buds that came with it. Needless to...

I'm looking for a cheap pair of closed back headphones. I've narrowed it down to Sennheiser HD201 and HD202 MkII. The 202 MkII pair costs approx £10 GBP/ $16 USD more. Are they worth the extra?   Thanks!

Hey guys,   I've had my AKG (http://www.head-fi.org/products/akg-k518dj) for 2 years, but recently something died... I don't know, the left speaker doesn't work anymore... I'm not a repairman, so I need to buy something else. Problem is I'm extremely tight on cash, I still want closed...

Recently sold some stuff and I have about $100 to spend, ultimately I decided that I should buy another pair of headphones as a step-up from my current headphones; TekNmotion Pulsewave 2 (gaming headphones) and my modded Senn HD 201's. Could any of you give me good suggestions? I mainly listen...

Hey guys I currently have a pair of HD 201 headphones and I love them, but I hav been noticing some crackling noises from my left can, so I'm due for a replacement, these things are about 5 years old. Anyway I have a budget of $40 maaaybe $50. It's still tough to drop $40-$50 on a pair of...

The time has come that after a few years of use the cable is starting to go in my main headphones, so a new pair is in order. Rather than just going out and buying the same again I figured it might be worth finding what else is out there and what has come about since I was last shopping...  ...

Hey people.   I've looked all the way through all the forum, looking for this. I've heard of the Koss Portapros, the PX100, the Sennheiser HD 201 (which fall into the category I'm looking for), KSC75. So you see, I've seen a lot.   I'm looking for ISOLATION, and the Portapros don't have...

My source is a computer connection options are USB and coaxial. My use of headphones is the music - movies - and games, I currently have HD201 headphones. I love the sound flat and low bass. Headphones should be closed.   (I thought of such a combination, feel free to change any of the...

Hi, I've been lurking these forums for a couple of years and finally decided to sign up, currently have a range of Sennheiser's, unfortunately my friends dog decided to snack on the cable of my HD595's, I soldered them back up and had them working for a while but after constant bmxing and...

Hi everyone, I am new here. I recently bought HD 598 headphones. In the beginning, I could easily tell the difference between this and my old HD 201, but recently I bought Asus Xonar Essence Stx, which has an headphone amp card. Now even my HD 201 has an almost equivalent wide soundstage as my...

I need to find my mom some budget headphones but real good music quality mainly for ipad/iphone, would like some good bass but more importantly good balance.  Any suggestions?   Thanks

Out of senheisser: HD 201, HD 202, eh 150 and HD 408 which is the best sounding headphone? I have a budget constraint which at best accommodates the 408. I wanted to know which one of these will be the best for Not only listening to but also for composing music. Thank you!

Hey there,      I have been a long term follower of the forum on Head-fi but this will be my first actual post =). Over the years I have owned a Koss ksc75, Sennheiser HD201, Sennheiser HD580, Sennheiser HD595 and thoroughly enjoyed them. Recently, I decided I wanted a different sound and...

After some lurking around the forum I decided to join up. This month after 21 years of service my Sony MDR V4 cans pooped the bed. One driver is burned out, there is a short in the cord. Eventually I'll find a new driver and recable them. Wifey surprised me with some Grado SR60i's for V day. I...

I'm fairly new to this forum, but seeing the type of music i like and thanks to RPGWiZaRd and others who replied to my PM's and all, My sony xb500's are on their way, just a small entry into an uncharted territory for me, but a start nonetheless.   So, there's this friend who likes his stock...

Suppose I better give you some background - I currently own some Soundmagic PL21 IEMs and I like them, but after a year of use they've finally come to their death and they need replacing, I am in the UK so bear in mind, some headphone choices which are available in the USA might not be...

Is the sennheiser hd 201 a good pair of headphones?
