Hi, I'm looking to get some closed back headphones for a friend. They're for someone who listens pop and country music, isn't too big on bass (so something that isn't considered overly "bassy" would be preferred), and enjoys vocals (usually female, sometimes male). Good isolation is a definite...

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...

Looking to get one of these pairs of headphones I listen to a lot of rock, rap, hip hop, rap, and some dubstep. I am looking for the most comfort and sound quality between these two headphones. I like a little extra bass in my music. Right now im am leaning towards the 439 because of the...

Currently planning out either a headphone or a speaker rig to be used when I move into an apartment in the future.   I'd prefer speakers, but my main concern is that I won't be able to play my speakers (2.0 bookshelf w/ surprisingly good low end) at good levels in an apartment.   I do...

First I  want to thank you for your time and knowledge hepling me, secondly: they are all Sennheiser because physical stores here suck (live in Mexico) and I don't have paypal or a credit card I can use online, but apparently I can pay by deposit at sennheiser's mexican site.   I'd use...

Hi, I just joined the site and I did so in order to find out what I should purchase...   What I'm looking for in a pair of headphones by priority is comfort. The most expensive headphones I have bought (which are over ear headphones) is the Steelseries Siberia v2, which are comfortable for...

V-MODA Crossfade LP Metal Headphone Sennheiser HD 439 Headphones   Grado Prestige Series SR80i Stereo Headphone   These three are the ones Ive been looking at, any other suggestions?  I listen to soft rock to metal and everything in between, and I am a bit of a gamer.   Thanks

Hi again, I have narrowed my choice down to these two. Can anyone comment on either of these or the HD 438 which should be similar? The 280 is 4 cents cheaper so price isn't an issue.   Also, if there is something else I should be considering please let me know. I have a budget of $100.  ...

Hi, I guess this is also an intro post as well as a question. I have recently been dipping my toes into higher quality audio by upgrading speakers etc. I would never consider myself an audiophile, but I can tell good from bad and I am very picky. I can't listen to any off-the-shelf...

Hey all,   For the past week or so I've been on Head-fi trying to get recommendations for various different headphones for under 300.    The users of Head-Fi were nice enough to give me several suggestions, and today I was able to get myself down to Bay and Bloor Radio in Toronto to test...

Which one is best for blasting dubstep but at the same time no one can hear my music?

If someone owns the HD 429, can you give me your honest impressions/reviews about them?

I listen to rap/hiphop and a lot of commentaries on Youtube, so vocals and bass are very important to me, does this can has enough bass for my taste? I'm no basshead, but I like atleast somewhat decent bass...

 I was looking for a cheap portable headphone I could pick up from an electronics store nearby. I decided on a pair of Senn's HD 428 mainly because I really liked the HD 448's sound, and according to Headroom's frequency response measurements the 428 and 448 are exactly the same, with the HD 438...

When I look at the specs on the website, it seems the HD 449 have better sound quality, but the HD 439 model is more comfortable with the cloth pads instead of the leatherette ones. I need this pair of headphones for casual, recreational use. Which headphone do you think would serve me best? I...

---Delete Thread Please :)

Right so let me start of by saying that I'm not all that clever with sound, I'm planning on purchasing a headphone to enjoy my music. My budget is quite tight (around £60-80), with that in mind I decided to take a look at some headphones on Amazon, I came across two that took my interest...thus...

Hello fellow can fans, got these couple of weeks ago and feel ready to give some impressions.   I have been comparing them to my ES55's , Beats Studio's and HD600.   BUILD QUALITY   Good, feel very light but solid, cables are not too thin and the connection to the headphone is...

I'm looking to get some closed back headphones for my work, where I sit next to someone in a small office and the HD650s I have are no longer appropriate.  I have come to love the HD650s (when amped) and have tried IEMs (tried UEs, Shures and W4s), but just can't listen for hours to them because...
