Hello guys, I'm new here so please be gentle    A little background on me before I get into my issues.  I'm into music production and have a home studio setup here.  I'm running a RME Fireface UC audio interface (which includes a good headphone pre) and was looking to get myself a good new...

So I have been using a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones for about 2 years now and they have always been bothering me cause they put pressure on my glasses but it wasn't to bad until just recently as I got a new pair of glasses which make these headphones be even more annoying.   So I...

Sup guys,   Ive had this pair of HD 280, but they recently broke during transport. That is to say, the right ear stopped functioning. Here's a pic of the pair, and here a close up of the speaker of the right ear. I've messed around a bit with the pair, here's what came up: - The left ear...

What are the key differences, which is better in your opinion. I listen to classical.

I am looking to upgrade to AKG K272 HD's from my 280's. I like the 280's but they lack depth and to me are very cold sounding. I'm going to be running them from my MacBook Pro with no amp and I don't plan on getting an amp. My question is are the AKG's going to be noticeably better? I thought...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I purchased a set of HD 280 Pros about 2-3 months ago because I wanted quality headphones and read some good stuff about these. They've been really great, first headphones I've had that haven't been complete crap. The thing is, I've been having some issues with the...

After writing this out, I realize I'm all over the place.   I'm asking if: a. my iPhone 4 is ruining my listening experience. What are the mainstream (eg. affordable) answers to portable audio sources? b. an LOD would help c. I simply don't like headphones (or just closed cans) d. an...

Could anyone who own or has tried on the SRH440s and ATH-M50 comment on their relative comfort level (how long can you wear them, how they press against your head) and isolation (how well they can reduce outside noise)? If I were to buy the SRH440s, I'd replace their ear pads with the ones from...

I'm not sure what's with the hate of them that i've seen around recently. I've got the Denon 2000s, AKG K702's and Grado SR80is and these still manage to find their way into my rotation. I like the darker sound that they have as a nice contrast to the akgs and grados, they're nice and forward...

Currently I'm listening only through the on-board sound of my Gigabye EP45-UD3P motherboard, which includes a Realtek ALC889A chipset.   I wanted to step up to the warmer, richer sound that's offered with a DAC and Amplifier, and with the amount of listening I do, was considering dropping...

I am thinking of getting the HD280's and before I buy them I want to know if there are better headphones at this price.  I listen to a lot of electric/techno music and game a little thanks

Hi again, I have narrowed my choice down to these two. Can anyone comment on either of these or the HD 438 which should be similar? The 280 is 4 cents cheaper so price isn't an issue.   Also, if there is something else I should be considering please let me know. I have a budget of $100.  ...

Guys! I know I am comparing between two different kinds of earphones, but I have a simple question. Which one of these sounds better, Sennheiser HD280 Pro or  Klipsch X10 when you listen to them directly from a laptop?

Hi guys .... so ... I've been using the in ear headphones that came with iPhone (i know, don't kill me). I've used them simply due to comfort of having small wires as I listen to music only on the train. I do not walk the streets with music on, or jog, or anything. Just on the train.   Now...

I'm leaning more towards ATH-M50 but most of my friends recommend Sennheiser. CAn someone tell me the pros and cons of both headphones and if I choose to buy either one of them what will i miss that i can get from the other one? Thanks!

Starting a new job tomorrow, so I am looking for a headphone refresh.  Currently, I have:   iPhone 4 -> Line out cmoyBB 2.03 w/ AD8620ARZ HD280 Pro   I listen to mostly iTunes Match music (256 AAC) and internet radio(higher quality AAC).  My music choices are pretty wide ranging:  ...

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right spot.   Anyway, I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 pros which I am very pleased with. Unfortunately I ran over the headphone jack with my wheely chair and now need a replacement. I have always found the absurdly long HD 280 cord to be a nuisance and...

Hi,   I bought my Sennheiser HD 280 pro roughly two years ago when I moved into an apartment. I got them during a labor day sale and haven't looked back. I've come to appreciate higher quality music, speakers and headphones as a result and have been using them 2-8 hours daily. However, the...

Hey guys! I really like the sound of my JVC Flats, but I feel as though I'm wanting more soundstage. Do you guys think the Sennheiser HD Pro would be a good upgrade overall from the Flats?

Hello, I want to buy a pair of decent headphones (under 100$) but I'm not sure which one, from what I have been looking on the internet I narrowed the choice to these 3. I have read and watched lots of reviews on all of them and they all seem to be great also everybody say that you will be happy...

Hi, I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, but I definitely appreciate good quality sound. Hence, I have a pair of HD-280s. Right now I've just been plugging them directly into my Macbook Pro. This sounds great to my untrained ears, and is plenty loud, but I've heard that a good amp can make...

Well my cord is shot, broke off into the laptop jack and the cable is all tangled anyways so I am trying to find a replacement cord. I'm pretty decent with soldering (Done it at a friends house) but I don't know much about replacement parts here.  ...

Hey, so this happened to my Sennheiser HD280 Pros:      They're old-ish (2006-7 purchased?) but they still sound fine. They came undone like this (that's the L side of the headphones with the cable attached. Both ears still work just fine.   I've unscrewed the part on the righthand...

I've spent hours reading through many threads in the last month or so. I'm looking for a circumaural headphone with specific requirements, but I'm not sure if I've found anything just yet.   Unlike most people here -- who have impeccable hearing (I envy you) -- my hearing is not very good at...

This is a topic I have wanted to post on an audio and hifi site for sometime, just to read peoples reactions to which headphone they think is better.  My current headphone collection consists of Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's, Sony MDR-7506's, Sony MDR-XB700's, the new Apple "Ear Pods" (Which I must...
