Hi guys,   I'm currently looking at getting a pair of headphones from the Sennheiser HD400 series, the 419, 429 or 439 as I like the reviews they get and they are within my price range.    I listen to a lot of Drum n' Bass, dubstep, house, that kind of music, so I'm a real fan of bass...

Over the last few months, i have been listening to more and more music, and going on longer car-rides, playing more guitar, ect. I have always wanted a decent pair of headphones to just bump up my music experience.  I've been looking at the Sennheiser HD 439s but have been reading very, very...

I just made an account, so i truly am sorry if this is posted in the wrong area.  Over the last few months, i have been listening to more and more music, and going on longer car-rides, playing more guitar, ect. I have always wanted a decent pair of headphones to just bump up my music...

I recently bought Sennheiser HD 439's and I feel like I'm not getting enough bass out of these. Would a decent headphone portable amp (pocket sized maybe?) be of any help? Black friday's coming up so I thought might as well.   Also a modding guide would be cool too, never done any of this...

Hello i got new pait of sennheiser hd 439 and i want to do bass mod on them opening only 1 hole,but i would like to know from some1 who did it will this mess up other frequencys? Thanks 

Currently deciding xb500s (70 bucks) vs. ATH-M50s (105)   Leaning toward xb500s cause I do love bass and while I do care about the mids and highs, I don't care for them as much.    Main question is how do the M50s bass compare to the xb500s? If its greater than or equal to the xb500s...

I'm trying to remove the earpads of it, but I've never done it before.   Am I supposed to pinch upon the earpad itself? Or the hard plastic thing beneath it? Also am I supposed to pull outward or inward?   Dubstep mod seems a bit confusing as well. Is there a substitute for blutack?

Hi! Joined not 10 minutes ago, though i've been reading topics and reviews on headphones for a while. Hope my inexperience doesn't bother some.   Alright, so i bought a pair of Senheiser HD439 about a month and a half back. I've been using them with an Ipod touch 4th gen, without an amp. ...

Hi there. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD439. I'm not audiophile at all, but I just want to discover better headphones. Maybe I'm missing out on something? I don't think I have golden ears, but surely I'll notice the difference if I move in to the HD500 series. My question is this. I can buy a...

My english is ****, but I'll do my best. I tend to use headphones a few hours a day for listening to music while studying and comfort has lately become a necessity. My unit requires:   1 Closed back (library use),   2 Velour pads (to keep my ears from burning)   3 Confortable for...

Hi everybody.   I currently use a pair of Sennheiser HD439 with an ipod Touch and a Fiio E6. The hd439 are a great pair of headphones for 89 US and i like the warm sound signature and accurate bass. But for Electronic music i like a bassy sound  and much more detailed can, preferably...

actually i am looking for a good set of over/around ear headphones for portable use. must haves:   - good isolation - dry bass down to sub bass region - no piercing highs - at least a little soundstage, the bigger the better   nice to have:   - lots of details - quite neutral...

Hey there, I was wondering which of these headphones is better sounding (clear highs and mids, and which bass response is better). I am not a bass head, but I like warm sounding cans (without sacrificing sound clarity on highs and mids). I've already seen the build quality on both of these...

I'm looking to buy a budget friendly (< 100) headphone that can be used as an all rounder. I'm by no means an audiophile and I'm not planning to spend a lot of money on audio equipment. I'm replacing an old Sennheiser HD 477.   Target usage in order of importance: Play computer games...

Hi there head-fiers (that doesn't sound right),   I've been lurking around this site for a good couple of years now, learning stuff and generally just drooling over some of you okes' setups. So, after many moons of wondering and deciding, I have finally made up my mind and decided to buy...

I have been using an old guitar amp too amp the sound but it does not do the sound quality justice. I found that out by first listening to a song from the amp and then straight from my iPod Classic 5.5g and the amp is just terrible. Please list some affordable amps.   The guitar amp I was...

hi everyone first time poster here   recently started to study piano again, and I chose an acustic piano Yamaha B1 with Yamaha Silent System, meaning I can plug a headphone and the sound comes from a digitalization of piano music. So even if the piano itself is off tune, the sound I will...

hi,i need a suggestion about my headphone: one my parents can give his HDJ 500,but i have just bought the seenheiser 439 at 60€. i don't know if turn back the sennheiser or if the HDJ 500 is very worse then the HD439. I listen rock,metal,gothic,punk and a little of rap.   P.S. sorry...

Hello everyone! I am new on head fi and I have a problem with deciding which headphones to buy as my first expensive headphones :D (expensive to me at least)  Headphones which I'm interested in atm are the sennheiser HD 439 because of the replacement cable and sennheiser RS 160 because they are...

What would anyone recommend as the best full size close headphones under £100. I have been looking at the Sennheiser HD 439 and 449's. I have heard they are slightly bass light and do not have the best isolation, but are otherwise great. Any thoughts or recommendations?

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 439's, should I buy a Fiio e11 amp with L9 LOD to upgrade my sennheisers, or should I buy V-Moda Crossfade LP's or ATH-M50s?   Requirements of New Headphones:   Budget ( 100-200)   Circumaural, closed back   Sound isolation (no battery)  ...

So I have senns so i was wondering if these 100$~ headphones are supposed to be able to handle pretty heavy bass? A lot of my dubstep songs are slightly boosted and the bass is really blatty and thuddy. Just wondering if they should be able to handle semi-lows...

Okay, as of now, I own a pair of Senneheiser HD 439's but the sound I am looking for isn't there. I want a pair of headphones that have good sound isolation (nothing that needs a battery like Bose) and I am also looking for headphones that I can blast (if I wear them around my neck) but at the...
