Cliff Notes: I want to aquire comfortable, closed, around the ear headphones that have an emphasis on range and balance, clarity and imaging only using 100 dollars. Is this possible? How?     I hope that these kind of threads aren't terribly common, or frustrating....   So I've already...

I'm new to the Head-FI world, but I've had a few years going with a speaker and amp setup. Due to some circumstances (sold the Amp and speakers) I've began to think about getting a head phone setup. I now need your help and input to make the most out of the 200$ budget I've set. This is the...

Hello Head-Fi-er's, I am on the hunt for a new pair of cans, and have researched and researched for days to discover my audio needs based on where I am and what I listen to. I travel to and from school a lot, so home and school almost all the time, with extended listening periods for hours.  ...

I'm currently using my D7000's at work and they are not working out too well. First of all, I'm always scared to scratch the wood and then the FiiO E7 doesn't really make them sound so well.    My company just started to offer $100 grant to get any headphone so I need your expert advice. I...

I've used search on the forum, but I haven't found much talk about these headphones. I noticed they use a 53mm driver like  Audio-Technica's higher models, but seem to use a little more plastic in construction. Reviews online seem to also be limited. There is one guy who said they were of...

I missed out on the deal by 3 days. Why does life have to be so cruel...?   I may have to postpone the search for a pair of headphones under $130. </3

Recently I have a renewed interest in really upping my musical listening experience and have jumped in deep.  Got my Etymotic hf3's in my ears right now following 100 hours of burn-in (33 white, 33 pink, 33 brown) and another 100 of mixed music from my library  and they sound way way better then...

Sorry to have to make another one of these threads but I've reached the point where I no longer feel I'll find my perfect headphones alone. I've done a lot of lurking but it just seems like there are so many options for each of which I manage to find someone who's been dissatisfied with them...

Hey everyone!  I have some general questions about headphones, because I don't know much about the audio side of computers and technology.   First of all, I want a full-size pair of headphones that will suffice for gaming and music mainly, but something that could work for movies and...

I'd like to get my 8 year old a pair of over the ear headphones for his birthday. He saw the Monster, I think beats, headphones in a commercial and got all excited for them...

I'm more of a casual listener but I've been an avid fan of the Grado sound. I have in my collection:   1. Unmodded SR60i 2. Unmodded SR225i 3. Modded SR60i (mesh cloth removed, punched 10 holes, felt mod)   I also have all the three pads - S, L and G. Of all combinations, I have come...

I'm having real trouble finding headphones that meet my requirements. I'm trying to use these for office work, keep the noise out, and keep the music in. I prefer a flat response, but I can always mix the levels myself in software.   Things I've tried:   sennheiser-hd-280-pro -- These...

Hi, I know this is going to make people stew, but I am looking for a pair of quality sound headphones around the $80 mark. I dont care about the looks, (well, to the point it can be worn in public) and I am looking mainly for sound quality. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :D

I'm thinking about either getting the Sennheiser HD 280 which is the cheapest at $80 http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-280-Pro-Headphones/dp/B000065BPB The Audio Technica ATH M50 which I've heard about a lot and it's about $130...

Hello guys, I would like to get a new pair of full-size headphones under $100 mostly for home use (but even better if they are portable anyway, foldable, low impedance, etc ).   I am going to used them with my PC replacing the not so good MDR-XD200 and I will use them mostly for listening...

I have been reading here that the HD280 does not have bass, which is very confusing. I had Klipsh Image s4i's before I got these, which were supposed to have a "lot of bass" but the bass was extremely quiet and only noticeable at very loud volumes with bass booster on. About the amount of bass...

The best time in the video to see them up close is at 2:14; but even then only for a second. Thought maybe one of you head-fi'ers out there might know. Please let me know if you know the brand and or model. (they look super comfy) Thanks. - Ryan

Hi. While I don't post, I've been lurking here for a long time now. I'm looking for good quality headphones for watching movies and listening to music.   I have a Sennheiser HD202, and I don't like it that much. The ear cover is now worn out, and it feels really uncomfortable. It doesn't...

Hi everyone, i need advice    I do mostly mastering and sometimes mixing of electronica music. I use my monitors and speakers for my work, however, i do like using headphones for analysis of details plus making sure sub bass is right. Also for checking my masters as people will listen to...

Well I've been reading a lot of reviews and articles about headphones the past few weeks. I've decided it's probably best to ask the opinions of the awesome people on this forum, since many of you have far more experience with this. I plan to use the headphones for cartoon voice-overs and...

Hi guys, as the title says, i'm looking for a good quality headphones at a reasonable price. My price range is at 70€. I'm going to use them to listen to bands like: Trivium, Metallica, Lamb of God,etc. Between these kinds of bands. Now I wouldn't call myself a bass head, but i do love...

Hey guys.   So I'm in the market for some new gear to upgrade the stock earphones in my Sansa Fuze (which are incredible since I haven't really sampled any high end gear).   My options are:   Sennheiser HD201   Sennheiser HD202   Sennheiser HD205 MK-II    Sennheiser...

I've got two bills to drop on a nice pair of over ear headphones. I was hoping I could tap into the well of knowledge that is you bonified audiophiles.   I'm mostly going to be using them for commuting around town, and listening at my computer for long periods of time.   I mostly listen...
