So my first real headphones got delivered yesterday - AKG K550's and I am unsure if I made the right decision. I have upgraded from a pair of Senn HD205's. I am not an audiophile but I was expecting to hear a huge difference between the two and i simply dont. Is this normal to react this way to...

Hey, I am planning to buy new headphones, and I would like to get some advices on what headphone is the best for me. I read and thought of buying one of these 2 headphones: Sennheiser HD205 or Superlux HD681, they both cost the same in my country (around 200 NIS=$50), so I really don't know...

Hello everybody, it's my first time posting in this forum. I'm looking for the best headphones I can buy for under 50$ to replace my broken HD 202s. I'll mostly use them to listen to music (classic rock mostly but also classical and pop) and movies on my desktop or laptop and I'm a bit of a...

Upgrade from HD205, would love a detachable cable and comfort is a must! More bass would be nice, but not sacrificing mids and highs. My budget is £120 or under. I'm thinking of the following: Ath m50 Akg k550 Sennheiser hd 380 pro Sennheiser hd 439 Denon ah d340 Any suggestions on these or...

So my HD205s needed new earpads. Can't sell these for more than $10 and  I wasn't about ready to send a letter to Germany to request those crappy pleather earpads of pain. I wanted velour and I wanted to MOD!  I heard a lot of people put DT 250 pads on their MDR-V6s to improve comfort and keep a...

Just wondering if the FiiO E5 would improve the sound quality of Sennhesier 205HD's played from an iPod. I believe they're 32ohms. I was hoping to get my girlfriend something to get better quality sound and a good bass boost. If there is something better for a good price like the E5 I'm all...

Hi peeps. Been reading through the forums, and I need help on what to get. My Monster Turbine Coppers are broken, standard cable-wiggle-for-sound issue. I don't mind paying for good headphones, but I don't want to pay for too much either. Problem is, I live in the Philippines, so I don't have...

After much reading here there and everywhere I've decided to make these my 1st £100+ purchase on closed cans. The last set I had was the closed HD205, my head is quite big and I found these to be way to tight after wearing for around 10 minutes, the sound was great for the price, but the...

  A few months ago I purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD201’s, I liked them enough to buy a pair of HD202’s, Which soon led me to buy their “older cousin” The Sennheiser HD205’s so far I have mostly positive comments about these headphones and I think they are a good deal for the money. First...

Hey, I am new to this field. And just want to get a headphone, while I was using iphone ear phone for daily use. Since Chase UR has rebated, and can get either one between $40-$65. So any recommendations? Thanks a lot!

Hi there, could anyone recommend replacement ear pads for the Sennheiser hd 205, as the ones supplied with them seem to be tight and uncomfortable on the ears. I would like to replace them with something softer? :)

Recently I have gotten into (Dubstep/Electronic) music production at home, but my headphones were not cutting it.   I own a BROKEN Skullcandy S6HEDZ-058 Hesh Over-Ear Headphone.  (Yes, I understand that Skullcandys are terrible, but I got it for christmas... Who wouldn't use free stuff?)  ...

Review:  The Sennheiser HD 215 (The HD 205's Bigger Brother)       Introduction   These days, it seems that every headphone manufacturer and their mothers have at least one pair of DJ cans out in the market.   As a result, Sennheiser might not be the first name that comes to...
