Could anyone give me an opinion on which is better in comfort, quality and sound isolation between the HD429 and HD439. The only music i listen to is Metal and various sub genres of metal. Thanks

So I'm in for buying a pair of headphones under $100 and I have narrowed down to 3 of the available options:   Pioneer SE-A 1000 Sennheiser HD 439 Sennheiser HD 449   I live in Pakistan where I don't have much choice to pick from and all the good products on Amazon/ebay are either not...

I'm looking at buying a soundcard and headphones. I was thinking this combination. http://www.amazon.com/product/dp/B000Y03A3A?tag=donations09-20 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132010 Am I maximizing my soundcard with the current headphones? If I am not what should I...

Hi everyone. I'm choosing a new pair of headphones as I broke the previous again. The reason is always the same: CABLE So I decided to choose a pair with a detachable one. I'm thrashing about HD 215 II and HD 439: both have detachable cord and nice price $60-70. The thing that doesn't let me...

Been debating between the CAL! and the JVC-HAS500.  However, the HD439 has recently popped up on my radar.  Looking for a comfortable, full size, but yet somewhat portable, all arounder headphone for office use (minimal leakage).  Like the removable cable concept.  Any love out there for this...

Hey guy, I'm new to this forum and would like some advice in purchasing headphones. I've been looking into getting some cheaper over-the-ear headphones (my first pair of non in-ear) under $50. I am leaning towards buying a pair of used-very good or used-like new headphones on amazon, for the...

Hi, I've recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 439s, but I somehow find them a bit lacking in bass and midrange when using them from my laptop and iPhone. Now I'm new to decent audio equipment, so I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking for. I've got a friend who's an audiophile, who...

Hi, a few months ago I bought my first headphones (Creative Aurvana Live), the sound is pretty good but, they make too much pressure in my head and my ears hurts a lot, I need something more comfortable. For me comfort is as important as the sound, I don't know if the Sennheiser HD 439 or...

Hey, the depth of the HD-439's ear-pads is low and when I boost the headphone, the drivers touch my ear. I've tried putting cable under the pads but I want a long-term solution. Changing the Ear-Pads maybe? Do HD 4xx series have another pad that has more depth? Maybe 449's pleather pads?

I just received the Sennheiser HD 439 and have run into a little issue. When playing certain songs with low frequency bass it will cause an annoying rattling sound. Is there a way to get rid of this issue? Is this normal with these headphones because I don't get this issue with the JVC...

I was thinking of buying a headphone in the price range of Rs.5000 ($100) and I shortlisted the HD429 and HD439 and now I'd like to know which one is better in terms of bass and volume (how much volume you can get when connected to a portable player). So anybody have an opinion?

I purchased the HD 439 because it was suggested that it sounded like my Beloved Momentum at a much lower costs. Best Buy is selling them for 59.99, and I thought that was too good of a deal to pass up. After a night of listening to them, I would have to agree, they do sound a lot like the...

Well ive been using my new Sennheiser HD 439 for about 3 weeks...   no problem at all... i made the burn in process at a 70% level for few nights, almost 70 hours i guess and i think i havent done on a to high volume (pink noise file seems to have a louder volume even on low levels,but i got...

Soo yeah In your opinion what are the most overrated and underrated in your opinion and why?   I'll start     Overated: For years the M50 was considered to most over hyped. For me personally as of right now I would say the V-Moda m100. I own it, It's sexy stylish. The sound though when you...

Hey, I'm looking for some headphones that have rattling bass. I currently own the sony mdr-xb500's, and I would like to kno if there are anymore headphones that have more vibrating bass. I want vibrating, punchy strong bass that rattle and shake the headphones.

Hello thanks for the forum :) I wanted to buy a new pair of Headphones for HipHop. I mostly hear Rap,Hiphop or Electro which means i need a good and heavy bass. I've had the Shure Srh750Dj but they didn't have a clear and good sound in my opinion and a bit more bass wouldn't hurt. I am a...

I'm interest in sennheiser but i don't know which can match my listening genre I'm like pop and r&b music sometime rock

I dont need advice but for the new head-fiers needing some suggestions! I think the Koss PortaPros are the best for the lowest price :) i dont like them but they have such good value! No specific genres or type, just all out best value!

question of harryrupam   I've few questions   1) As Sennheiser HD 439 specifies that they have rich bass experience..Does that mean HD 449 will be lacking in bass?? Cause I've heard HD 449 has very good Sound stage and very descent Mid/High...Do they perform pretty Good on Bass too...

I'd dumped my hd202 'phones at my parents' place to use if over there thinking they were not up to much, but today have been stunned at the sound when used with my kobo arc tablet, just suddenly a natural sound whatever music i've played in the last hour, with the best volume of any headphones...

Hi,    I'm searching headphones with: - Good isolation - Office, Flights - Very good sound - without sound leak - Comfortable - As I would like to use them during long flights    I currently Sennheiser 218 which are not that comfortable and hurts after one hour.   I read...

Allo. After trying a lovely set of Monster Titanium headphones at the Bullring the other day I'm on the hunt for a nice pair but am completely overwhelmed by the huge choice on offer! I'm looking for an over-ear big set, and they will be used at home, whilst out and about an also whilst...
