My wife wants some over the ear cans for home listening. She works for an Apple reseller and gets Skullcandy stuff at half off, so she could snag some Aviators for $75ish. I recently picked up some HD-280 Pros for home listening and isolation for playing my Roland TD8 drums (I scored the HD-280s...

Currently I own a DT880 but I am looking to get rid of these for something more private.   I'll be mainly using this to listen to music on normal consumer electronics (PC,ipod/phone)   My range is around $200.   Right now im looking at DENON AHD2000 and BEYERDYNAMIC DT770 PRO 80ohms...

I was recommended to get some headphones from sennheiser and I've heard mixed reviews about the sound output, things like dampened sound, too bright, and too high impedance. I would primarily use it with an iPod for personal use and I'm not sure it has enough power to get the most quality out of...

I've looked around, heeded some forum advice, and wonder if one on the following headphones on the list might suit my needs: Audio Technica ATH-M50 Sennheiser HD280 PRO Sennheiser HD448 Audio Technica ATH-A700   Following this criteria: Under $150 For electronic music (so great...

I'm going to make my first real headphone purchase, and after buying some terrible Skullcandy headphones a few years ago out of poor judgment, I don't want to get burned again. I have the choice of being gifted these two, and I have no idea which to choose. I'll be using them with my home PC to...

This is my first post, so sorry if this is in the wrong section.   I've always wanted to get a nice pair of headphones, but only recently decided to look into it. I've done some research, but none of it has really helped me narrow down my search. I plan on listening to music primarily...

Hello everyone.  I am leagally blind and was born that way and have lived with it all my life.  Back in the 90s when I was single I owned Sennheiser HD580, Grado SR225, and a Headroom Supreme headphone amp.  Life moves on, I am married and have a two year old daughter.      I now only own...

Right now I'm using Sony MDR-V6s w/ Beyerdynamic cushions; I really like them but I'm looking to upgrade to something a little better; preferably under or around $100 with more bass than the V6s.  I use the headphones for mostly music and some gaming.    Initially I was thinking of going...

hi i had a bit of a idea i see on sennheiser website that you can  order hd 600 drivers and i was wondering if there was any way to fit that assembly into a pair of 280 pro's. my pair is dying on me and i can't get replacement drivers for them. so it would be really cool if there was a way to...

Hey,   I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 pros about a year and a half ago. The padding got worn out and the cord got a bit loosened up, but so far they've been a durable and reliable way to listen to music. They're the first pair of headphones I ever really went out of my way to spend a...

Hey guys, I know black friday is coming up and I wanted to pick up a good set of over the ear headphones for around $100, perhaps Id buy a refub. pair too if it means I can get burned in cans for around $80. Ive looked at the sennheiser hd555 and the 280 pro. But Im sure there are other good...

Hello Everyone,   Need your help regarding headphones. Im looking to purchase a new headphone within the price of 100-150 dollars. I've had a look at the Sennheiser HD555 and Im currently using an HD202.   Im looking for good detailing. Like being able to hear low and high too. Like...

im thinking of buying a full size headphone and these are my choices.....   AKG K240 MKII  Sony MDR 7506 Sennheiser HD280pro   i usually listen to pop, rock, classical, jazz, country, bossa nova with my ipod classic or computer   my biggest concern is the clarity of the vocals...

I can't make up my mind which to get. The new Apple in-ear headphones or the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Both is about the same price Both is said to have excellent noise isolation Both is said to have good sound Anyone who have both give me some input? I know its comparing apples to...

im currently using the hd25sp and wish to upgrade. im looking at the hd280 pro as a possible replacement although i havent heard them myself and sound being subjective i would appreciate input on this plus any other recommendations.i like my headphones portable with maximum isolation and good...

Hi there! New to this excellent forum. I am a regular iPod and laptop user who decided to discard my ear buds and now look for a solid pair of larger phones, opened or closed. Primary use is longer trips and casual listening, so comfort is very important (cushions). Also, i do have a smaller...

I've found several threads comparing these but none compairing them for what I would be using them for: -I'm going to be using them with an HK AVR146 amplifier exclusively (I have separate earbuds I use with my iPod) -I'm going to use them in a college dorm so open/closed may factor in...

Hi Head Fi!   Long time lurker, first time poster here. Ok, so, after being disappointed by a few Sennheiser cans (HD280PRO, HD205-II), I've been looking for my first suitable Audio Technica pair from their entry to mid level headphones. I was looking for a pair to use travelling to...

Say what you like about them, they have bass so low you think it's either an earthquake or a huge truck outside, highs with detail from here to Sunday week, and mids like an abba concert. Or perhaps the mids are like a midget at a bikini competition. Either way, for the price you can't beat...

I need a new set of cans in the $200 range for production of Hip-Hop, Rock (sometimes), and EDM and I want the best bang for my buck. I would mostly be using the cans at home but sometimes in public.   Which ones would you guys recommend for me?

Hi all,   I'm newbie to this world, thats why I'm asking advice.   I can't find the Philips SBC HP 805 here, believe it's discontinued.   What about the Philips SHP2700 ? Is it a good choice for replacement?    I've heard goods about Senn 280 pro, but is another class e very hard...

I'm considering buying a pair of of AKG K181DJs but I heard they're quite uncomfortable and I haven't had the chance to wear them yet. However, I've also heard people complain about the comfort of the HD280Pros, and to be honest, they're not too bad. At first they were slightly uncomfortable...

Hello, firstly, for the forum skeptics, I have indeed used the "Search" Button, but it appears my situation is rather unique as I didn't find any specific related threads to what I'm looking for. Onwards to topic, I am looking for a decent pair of preferably CLOSED "Over the Ear"...
