Before I start, please excuse my english, as it isn't my first language. I'll do my best.   Well, I've been looking for a good 100€ (~130$) pair of closed headphones for weeks. Hours and hours spent in this forum where I've learnt more about the huge universe of possibilities high-fidelity...

I'm torn between those things! My requests are: Comfortable (my ears are about 6cm long/ each,lol) to wear on long flight (8-15 hours), Isolation must be good too, sound quality to listen to mostly Linkin Park, Rap, David Guetta, need much bass and zero sibilance. Durability is very important...

     i have been looking to get a new headphone or headset to use for FPS/MMORPG gaming and listening to music on occasion.  I know that if I went for a pair of headphones, which i have seen multiple times be the preferred option, that I would need a  modmic.  I am looking for headphones that...

Hey Everyone, I'm debating between either getting the Sennheiser HD380 Pro or the Able Planet Clear Harmony NC1150. I plan to listen to mainly Jazz music and some classic rock so I'm curious to see what people have to say about which is better oriented to those genres. I'd like to be able to...

You can see a few of the elastic straps on the above picture. Does anyone know what they are used for? They look like they might be used to restrain the cord, but I can't figure out how that would work.

I have just purchased some Sennheiser HD380 pros and the way the packaging looped the cable back through the plastic has ended up damaging the cable.   The damage looks like someone pressed their fingernails into it really hard...no metal showing. Should I be concerned? I can take them back...

As the title says, I have no idea what headphones to get.. I am a fan of T.Swift.. Thanks! :) Amp: I don't have one yet.. Might be getting cricri or D2+ boa

Hi guys,   I've been wanting new headphones for a while now and had done a good bit of research here over the past few weeks. My price range topped out at around $200. I went to a guitar center to try out a few after coming up with a list of good candidates. DT770, AT M50's, and Senheiser HD...

I am currently only really able to buy from www.Tigerdirect.com because of a promotion and returns that are in process for me, so my options are pretty limited. I have seen the Sennheiser 280 HD Pro, 380 HD Pro, AKG K172HD, AKF K142HD, etc. Any of these would be better then a standard generic...

Hello, so i would need help in picking up my first "pro" headphones. So i would want from them to be very comfortable so i could wear them literally whole day without noticing of any pain becouse i am a gamer. About the budget, well i could go up to 180$ , but if you recommend me any good ones...

Basically, I'm a super newbie and I have no idea what I'm doing. All I can say is that I listen to a lot of music and do a lot of gaming. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 380's, and a Creative X-Fi Titanium.  I got that sound card at random because my motherboard's onboard sound was terrible and I...

Hey guys,   This is my 1st ever post here. Just wanted to get some input on headphones. I've recently just put together a good vinyl player setup using separates (my 1st venture into this) and I want a really good set of headphones to go with it. I'm considering either the Shure SRH840 or...

So, I went to a local Best Buy today and just purchased the Sennheiser HD360 Pro on sale for $100. Right next to them were the identically spec'ed and looking PX360. No one at the store could tell me what the differences between the two were in terms of SQ, and they didn't have any extra to open...

Hey everyone I'm a programmer. I work in a shared office space so it's very noisy with people talking, moving around etc. I've been scouring this forum and the internet in general in search for the right pair of headphones for me. I'm looking for headphones that are:   comfortable- to...

I have the Sennheiser HD 380 Pro's and am currently on onboard sound, I wanted to upgrade my audio and was considering an Asus Xonar DX soundcard. I ONLY use headphones so I'm not sure if I need to buy an amp to connect it to the sound card, or what...o.O Can someone please educate a noob? :)

I am new to head fi and I am going to be getting my first good pair of headphones. i listen to all kinds of music from rap to dubstep and some metal. i have 4 headphones in mind i just dont know which ones would be best. i was looking at the hd360pro, hd380pro, hd429 and the px 360. i was trying...

I was considering getting a pair of M-100s, but it looks like they aren't quite as audiophile friendly as I'd hoped. I'm looking for a fairly transparent set of headphones that will work with a wide variety of genres and are suitable for mixing, and from what I've been reading the M-100s don't...

Hi everyone, first post for me on this very nice forum (I hope I don't break any rules by posting here).   The title says it: I'm searching a headphone (maybe headset but  I don't care too much about the mic) for essentially playing games (no competition) and watching movies, and the main...

I'm a new university student studying music tech and i would like to have some headphones to record in a studio and to use them to mix and produce. I appreciate detail and depth a lot, a reasonable balance, soundstage and i'm new to over the ear headphones. I've only really used earphones, and...

Alright, hello, I'm new here, and I've come across head-fi throughout my constant search for the perfect audio equipment and now I have nowhere else to turn so I was hoping you guys could help me.   I have big ears   Every over-ear headset I've ever owned (Turtle Beach, XB500, and now...

Hello everyone iv been searching around the Internet for a decent pair of headphones for xmas. The ones that i found that i am now thinking of getting are the AudioTechnica A900X. iv heard good things about them but I'm still not sure if i should get them or if i should keep looking. I still...

Hey there, I'm trying to find the perfect headphones for me, and so far I have narrowed my options to these two cans: the AKG K 271 MK II and the Shure SHR940. I've already seen the unboxings and the features of both headphones on youtube, so I only need you to explain me the differences...

I am decideig which headphones to buy, the headphones in the title, but I'm leaning towards the ATH M50S LE. I want headphones that have a good soundstage, don't require an amp, and have good sound quality. Also, the headphones should be able to be driven solely by an iPhone 5 with 128 bitrate...

Picky Customer in the UK, that's me.   I know i went on and on about the Bose AE2, cos they were comfortable. I've had them for over a year, no complaints.   Well i bought my husband a pair of Sony MDR-V6 for Xmas - but he ain't getting them!!!!!!!!!!   Omg what the flipping 'eck...

Ey guys,   I am thinking about buying a good comfortable headset for gaming and trance music for 150 euro (190 dollar). I also care abit about the looks (but that's personal ofcourse, so you can't decide for me) so I wonder what you guys suggest. So far I have been searching and I got this...
