This is my first thread on this forum, so bear with me as I'm just starting out. I'm looking for some advice on headphones or IEMs with great build quality for commuting.   My past experience has been mostly with IEMs, as I like their discreetness a lot when I go somewhere. I've had Denon...

Hi guys,i'm new on the head-fi and this is my first post!! I'm planning to buy Sennheiser hd 25 and i was wondering if it's possible to change the cable on them.I want to put shorter cable because i'll be using  them mostly on the go,on my way to work,gym and so on... The original in just to...

I have bought many pairs of headphones expecting them to be sturdy. I have tried brands known to be "strong" such as skullcandy and beats. My 3 pair of skullcandies all broke, two of which I threw away and one of which I sent in for warranty (SK pro) only to never see again. My beats also just...

I already did some searching but couldn't find a thread that answered everything, I really like how IEMs work for blocking out most noise but I prefer the ease of headphones, most my music is rock and metal  so I want something clear and grado like I really don't want other people to hear my...

Can someone please help me and let me know which IEM would sound closest to the sennheiser hd-25 ? It needs excellent treble but still maintaining  that punchy bass sound which doesn't bleed into the midrange.. i recently bought the shure se535 and am very dissapointed with those with how muddy...

Adidas Originals Sennheiser HD 25-1-2   Same sound quality and indestructability, but in a much prettier package. For those of us who don't like the looks of the original HD25, these are a no-brainer. I might pick these up later this month.  ...

Hi,   Though I have benefitted from the conversations I have come across on Head-Fi forums a number of times (a very valuable resource), this is the first time I have started a thread.   My situation is that I am looking for a great music listening setup for on the go, with lossless...

I recently purchased the TMA-1 Headphones by AIAIAI, and I'm enjoying them quite a bit. I like their deep bass punch and clarity. However, I have wanted to compare them to other phones I have had in the past, and others I have heard of. I have tried the SRH-840's and my local London drugs, and...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a second purchase after my ATH-M50s broke.  I want to try a different headphone now. I came across this interesting mention of the Roland RH-300s, which one reviewer said was better than the very popular ATH-M50s.  That's a pretty big claim if you ask me.  Look at...

hello there, as title says I have a pair of sennheiser hd25s (mk1) and an iPod touch 2g, sometimes use a blackberry 8520. sound is mostly better than my old in ear phones (various shure, Sony, sennheiser) but needs more oomph. can anyone recommend an amp that would help? cheers

Hello Head-fi,   I've been stalking this forum for a very long time now. My 2 years old PXC 250s are dying and I've been looking for replacement. Since most of the time I listen on the go I didn't want any big headphones and I was also looking for something looking decent. I have two pairs...

Hi All.   I am sure the answers are somewhere already, but afraid I don't have time to read through so many discussions about specifics.... I have no idea about frequencies, waves, maths and such.   I am looking for some headphones, as swimmer's ear stops me from using my IEMs (...

Hey guys looking for some new headphones fo use with iphone and also DJing, these two seem the best ? just wondering f people have any experience with them, im leaning toward the 2000's at the moment due to build quality and looks aswell as apparently as good / better sound.   Any help ?  ...

I understand there are a so many threads on people looking for closed headphones.  I did read many but I do have a specific question that hopefully someone can answer.   I totally love the Sony sound and comfort.  I generally game with the MDR-F1, listen to music with the MDR-SA5000, and...

I already ordered these cans, but I always think it looks cheap from the pictures on the web. Does it look better in real life? Do you think it looks cheap? My also said it looks cheaper than it is. I always expected it to look something as nice as the audio technicas higher end cans. No...

Hey guys, I have the M50s right now, and I like them a lot.  However they are broken right now (I'll be fixing them) and I am thinking about buying myself another good pair of $50~$200 headphones to complement the M50s; that is, do somethings differently while being very solid cans overall.  I...

Hey head-fi, its been a bit. Hope you've been well.    Anywho,after moving 3,300 miles and diving into budget-fi for a while prior to the move and after(my Maxells broke on the trip, apparently 4 pillows will break the swivel bar, and my free replacements(that guy on amazon is so nice!) they...

I recently found my K81DJ earpads were degrading rapidly from years in my bag. I needed a replacement set quickly because I use these on the bus all the time, and short of in-ears, which I can't wear, I've found these to be a great compromise of sound quality, isolation, comfort, and...

If anyone is interested, here are some pictures of the Sennheiser HD-25-1 II and the AIAIAI tma-1. Both headphones have aftermarket cables on them. I’ve had the HD-25’s for about 4 months and was curious about the tma-1’s from all the posts here so I ended up ordering a pair last week.    ...

Hello all! Ive been a long time lurker of this forum and decided to finally join...   What im looking for a headphone with more bass. I really like the amount of bass that the Beats by Dre have (i think thats the only thing i like... lol!) , but I REALLY enjoy the wide soundstage and clarity...

I have two hundred dollars to drop for upgrading my portable setup, and I am at a loss for choices. The current system is a pair of HD25-1 IIs plugged directly into an iPod for some chiptune, breakcore, soundtrack, and indie rock listening on the go. Would switching to a Cowon player have a...

Hi everyone, i'm an EDM music producer (specializing in trance) looking for an upgrade from my Sennheiser HD25MKII headphones. I am currently using a Focusrite Saffire 6 soundcard as an output on my PC straight in to the HD25's. I am looking for headphones that will colour the sound as little...

Hi, I'm a big music fan but I'm not too keen on the differences in types of headphones that are best suited for different situations. I travel a fair amount (buses/planes) and wanted to buy a pair of on-ear/over-ear headphones to enjoy my music. I enjoy a wide range of genres from rock to rap to...

How much more comfortable are Velour pads on your ears, in general?  I'm thinking about ordering some replacement pads for my ATH ES7's.
