So I've been looking at many different headphones and I do not understand how you would determine which one is better than which.  For example, the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro has a frequency response of 8Hz -  25KHz whereas the Sennheiser HD 555 have a frequency response of 15Hz - 28KHz.  Many say...

Im in the process of purchasing new headphones and I was wondering which setup you would suggest for listening for ROCK music. Heres what I was thinking: 1. Sennheiser HD555 + Onboard Sound 2. Sennheiser HD280 Pro + Audigy 2 (Possibly ZS, but would that make a difference) 3. AKG K 81 DJ +...

I'm looking for some good headphones which produce good mids and highs.  I listen to alot of alternative rock and acoustic.  I like to hear good vocals.   I'd like some headphones with some moderate noise cancellation (doesn't have to be totally blocked out). Also, the more portable they...

Dear Everyone,   I bought the Audio-Technica ATH-M50S a couple of months ago and have been using it since. The sound is clear, but I feel these headphones does not produce a base full enough. Regardless, the sound quality was good given its price.   However, my ears burn up so fast...

Basically i've been producing recreationally for a while and i'm about to start college on a music production course, and we have to supply our own headphones. At home I use Sennheiser HD650s but I don't really want to risk taking them in considering how much I paid for them, what headphones...

Hey guys, just created an account because I wanted to get some experienced advice on my next purchase. I have been using Sennheiser HD 415s for 4 years now and they have served me brilliantly, but the cable has become damage and although I soldered it and they work, I think it's time for an...

 Sound quality is the most important, along with durability, comfort and style.   I listen to many types of music, everything from MGMT and Foster the People, Deadmau5, Classified, Justice, Immortal Technique, all the way to orchestral and piano styling pieces. The music will be played...

Pretty simple question right now. Just need some advice.    I'm pretty young and I can't afford much. I've just managed to save up to $250 Canadian, which is pretty big for me because that's the starting point of most affordable/budget headphone amps/ headphones. Right now all I have for...

I WILL BE USING THESE FOR MUSIC PRODUCTION ON A PC RUNNING THROUGH AN AVERAGE AMP (100W PER CHANNEL) AND A EQ,, HEADPHONES WILL BE CONNECTED TO THE AMP   CAN GET THE SONYS V6 FOR 65 ISH AND THE SENNS 555 ARE 75 POUNDS BUT ARE GRADE C WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE BEEN REFURBISHED BY THE MANUFACTURER...

  Hi there, I'm looking for a set of headphones where I work.  It's real noisy in here and I need to block out people talking as I can't concentrate to do my work (programming).  I currently have a pair of Shure SE310 Isolating IEMs which have fantastic sound quality but the isolation isn't...

JUST order the ATH M50s for $90 off of ebay (the seller had 100% positive feedback too and seemed to develop a rep selling M50's). First pair of headphones over $50 and I mainly bought them for the sound, design, and "portability". However, I've never seen anyone with a coiled cable in public...

I have both the Sony MDR-7506's and the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's.  Considering factors like build quality, comfort, sound isolation and leakage, and of course sound signature which would you say is the better headphone?  I want to hear from other people.  I find myself going back to Sony MDR-7506...

Edit: Disregard what I said about not wanting an amp below. I am now planning on getting an amp and am currently leaning towards getting an HD 650 + Audio-GD NFB-12.   Edit 2: I have just purchased a brand new HD 650 and Audio-GD NFB-12. Waiting for them to arrive in the mail now :)  ...

Hey guys,   I'm looking to buy sub $100 headphones, preferably closed-ear/around the ear. I've come across the AKG K81DJ, Shure SRH440, and Sennheiser HD280Pro as the more positive-rated ones. Which one would you choose as the best bang for your buck overall? Or is there a better sounding...

Hey guys, I have decided I need a new headphone for my music. My price limit is $100. I like every type of music (literally). I also need this to plug into a ipod, and from my research ipods can't power good headphones. I have heard good stuff about the senn hd280 pro, or the hd428's but whatever.

Hi guys,   I currently have the Aviator from Skullcandy.  It sounds pretty good with 320kb mp3 and lossless files, with good fidelity & acceptable bass.  However, anything lower than 192kb or has bad compression will sound a bit harsh.   An alternative I'm looking at is the Sennheiser HD...

I listen to around 80% Hip hop and 20& rock

I just got my payment and I want REALLY good headphones for under $300. Too be honest I don't know much about audio so I came here. I listen to dubstep/drum & bass. I want something that has good noise cancellation well. I was looking at the Bose QC15's but I am not sure if they are good in...

Another newbie looking for headphone advice; I apologize for making a new thread instead of posting in the "buying headphones" thread but I figured this has enough specifics and details to warrant a separate thread...plus it seems like this would just get lost in the sea of replies if posted...

Hey! I got a hundred bucks and I've narrowed down my choices of headphones to these two as I like electronic, indie/alternative rock, and dubstep(I am definitely a bass lover but I also like musical balance). I believe that a thread was posted before comparing these and a few other headphones...

Hey, After researching and researching and reading this forum a bunch, I've managed to only confuse myself more.   I am looking for a good pair of closed cans that will both insulate me from the outside world and insulate my roommate from my music substantially. I will be listening to...

I have never owned a more than $20 pair of headphones.  The last set I bought were some Phillips earbuds that were ok.  I went on vacation and was going to be taking a long plane ride and I finally broke down and purchased a decent set of earbuds.  I bought the Sennheiser CX 475 earbuds from...

I'm looking into buying some headphones, I'm having trouble narrowing them down, and I'm seeking advice.    Right now, I would mostly use them to listen to music, but I would like to be able to use them for gaming and movies, as well. I listen to a wide variety of music - I consider myself a...

I take the bus about 2 hours a day too and from work. I currently use a sansa c100 express and some creative ep-630 plugs but I want more sound.   I listen to mostly hip-hop, reggae and R&B and I like bass/deep sounds.   I was thinking of getting the fiido e5/ some m50's and just keep my...
