Hey all,   Looking to upgrade my Sennheiser PX360s for no other reason than to justify buying a new set of headphones. I actually like my 360s very much, they do an admirable job of providing me with a quality sound when I am away from home and my Sennheiser HD650s. But the wife always wants...

Hi head-fi. I'm looking for a DAP that's simple (sturdy/mechanical interface) and not ridiculously expensive like I find most other DAP's to be. I really want to stray away from the smart-phone-interface-like DAP'ers like the Cowon and Ibasso (which are also a bit expensive) that seems to be...

I bought a second hand pair of HD25s and the left earpiece label looks exactly like the one in this picture:         Mine seem to be the HD25-1 Mark 1s; they have the right-angled cable with the flat connector pins going into the (delightful leatherette) earcups. The split headbands...

Hi im seeking some nice Headphones. Mainly Jazz, Tom Waits, Classical. No Beats! - Sennheiser HD25 - Sony MDR1 - Beyer DT 770 ? - Grado?   Or even something else?   I did never own some really nice Headphones. Buyed some iBeats in November. First was impressed by the Bass, but...

Hi guys, This is actually my first post here, and, as you can guess, I'm quite new to the audio world The thing is I'm looking for a nice portable headphone that will be used mostly on buses on my way to school. I listen mostly to Classical, but to jazz and rock too. The headphones MUST be...

Greetings all, I am new here and I don't think I am by any means a true audiophile, although I like to think I am. What I mean by that is I can hear a headphone and like or not like the sound with 0 consistency as to what is universally agreed upon as "good" or "not good."  I use my headphones...

Looking for:   - OK or better isolation (passive or active) on train/plane - On-ear  - Lightweight very portable (for travelling) - Good price ($100-$200 or so) maybe a litte more but I'm not thrilled about it ;)   So far I've been looking at the following models:   V-moda m-80...

Well I'm an absolute noob in headphone like I know absolutely zero and this is going to be my first purchase of "good" over ear preffered or on ear headphones, I know there's that other thread to post this but I'm on my iPhone and i get some can not allocate memory effort when I try to open...

Ok guys, I am looking to buy a new pair of headphones, but I need you to put me on the right way. Especially now.   My favorites were: Denon AHD600 and D400, AKG K550/K551, AKG K167 and K267, Vmoda M100, Sony MDR 1RNC, Sennheiser Momentum, and Ultrasone Pro 900.   I really need your...

Hello! I recently got my hands on a pair of Sennheiser 25-1-ii headphones for Christmas after much begging and offering to reimburse some money and I'm just wondering if there is a cheap amplifier that would be around 100-150 dollars that i could plug into my headphones and ipod/iphone into...

So, I'm going to look at headphones today, and for metal and rock this forum seems to give a lot of love to the HD 25-1 ii. Now, I WAS going to go with Grado Labs, but I was not very happy when I heard them and I realized how little they block out sound. They don't even try, and I plan to use...

Hello head-fi. I'm on vacation in New York this week, and in the States until January, and my goodness is it cold. As the title suggests, I'm using my portable sets while out and about, and I wanted to hear from people who have visited or live in cold countries (cold enough for snow, etc.); is...

Hello everyone,   I own an Ipod classic 160GB from 2008. All my mp3 files are in 256kps, and i mostly listen to death and progressive metal, as well as some prog rock and blues.    I want to buy a new set of head or earphones, and i have been looking at forums, review sites etc.   ...

Hello everyone,   I'm considering to buy Sennheiser HD 25-1-II cans ($300, 70 ohm). I do not have them yet. On my computer, I have poor onboard audio and some $50 Creative 2.1 speakers.   So before purchasing the headphones, I firstly want to buy a PCI soundcard for my computer. I...

First off the only 'real' pair of headphones I have are PX200 ii's. Bought these last year for the portability of them, however I found that I couldn't use them on a plane or bus because of the poor isolation. I cannot decide between the hd 25s or m80's as an upgrade! From what I have read on...

Hello everyone~   I am looking for an alternative for the HD25/Amperior due to the sibilance issue they have. I changed from the HD25 to Amperior thinking that there would be a large improvement on the sibilance issue, but sadly, although I like the highs on the Amperiors more than the HD25...

Is anyone but Sennheiser making cables for the HD25 that are not super expensive? I have little belief in gaining any significant sound improvements by using $100+ on a cable for such a headphone, but the stock cable is really, really bad.   I've owned two, and both have had problems with...

Hi All,   I know there is a lot of threads like this but I have been reading for days now and I cannot decide on the right set of headphones for me ao I said I ask myself directly.   I am looking for suggestions for an upgrade to my Sennheiser HD205 headphones.   I am in no way an...

Good day bros, unfortunately i didnt get to know these forums before i placed my latest order... Got Sennheisers HD429, what are your thoughts about them? Never had a brand name speakers so am excited to try them.. Almost finished narrowing down my next purchase list, got 100$ to spend, And...

Hey guys, my friend recommended this site for helpful information from other audiophiles. Before anything, NO GARBEATS BY DRE! The situation is that I have a budget of $350 for a pair of headphones, to add I already have FiiO e11 if that makes a huge difference. I was interested in Sennheiser...

K here is what I got   Shure SRH-840 - little grainy and forward (shouty?) in the mids but other wise great (how I like) in the mids and treble, but no lowend.   DT-770 Pro 80ohm - Use to like them but there really muffled and laid back kind of, not like Sennheiser, they have good speed...

Okay so i am new to the world of quality headphones. I am not a DJ or anything like that but I do have a desire for really really nice sounding headphones. My budget is $300 MAX and $200 minimum. Right now im thinking HD 598, mm500-x, tma-1... Also, i am not sure that i want to go with open...

Hi!   So I've been looking up headphones and soundcards all day to gather information on what's good and bad. I haven't bought a headphone for about 7 years so I'm kinda out of the loop. What I have now is "Sony MDR-V700" (which I really loved when I bought them) and a Creative Fatal1ty...

I have a 10 yr old pr of Grado SR80, which I like, and RE-0 from HiFiMan, plus a couple Yuin...  All sub-$100.  I'm waffling between Senn HD-25-1 ll and V Moda crossfade m80 right now.  I'll probably use them primarily at home, mostly direct from a tube CDP (Eastern Electric minimax, which...

I have a few headphones and IEMs.  I like all of them but I favor the HD 25-1 II which I generally drive with an IBasso D10. What would be a significant upgrade from the HD 25-1 II with a similar but more refined/improved sound.  Budget would be under $400, the more under the better....I get...
