sennheiser-hd-449-headphones

Hi guys, this is my first time posting anything on head fi, so bear with me haha. I've been searching for a good pair of headphones for a couple of months now, and I am absolutely confused as to what to get. I've decided on closed back circumaural headphones below like 150 bucks, but that's...

Hi.   I'm currently using a Sennheiser HD 205-II.    I want to upgrade to a 400 series.   I was thinking about the 439, because it's a tad bassier than the 449. 449 should have better clarity, but I also want the headphone to be "fun", so I think the "neutral sound" of the 449 may be...

Hello, I have only recently found out about Head-Fi and the wonderful world of audiophilia, and I was wondering if there's anything I can do to improve my listening experience without having to spend too much. I am currently using a pair of Roccat Kave 5.1 headphones that are probably mediocre...

Hello to all Forum members, new member and I'm just getting interested in headphones and how they may be able to help me enjoy music and radio again. I've been retired now for seven years and just coming to terms with the loss of some hearing frequencies. Shooting full bore pistols and rifles...

I'm not sure if this is like desktop computers vs laptops, where in desktops you'll get more of a computer for the money. Does the same apply for on ear headphones vs IEMs?   I love my IEM, I spent about 150 them. Was wondering if a $150 full size would have better quality?

I had hd 25 1-II for two years and its sound quality is superb. Since when i change the wire from hd 25-sp, the left and right connectors starts to be a problem. I need to jigger whenever i use it. So i changed to original wire but same result. hd 25 is a legend but after more or less 20...

Hey guys whats up?   So i recently broke my HD201's and my god was i sad! The best $30 i have ever spent, to just break like that - it almost made me cry. Oh my god, they were the ants pants. They sounded all so, so good. They had deep up-tight bass (especially with an amp), decent mids and...

Hi everyone. I've joined to ask for help on getting a new pair of headphones. They will be my first "worthy" pair of headphones that have cost me more than $10. I've just started recording some music at home, mostly acoustic/folk/alt/vocals and I need a good pair of headphones for playback that...

Hi, headfiers.   All we know that it's quite hard to compare headphones. Different music, different tastes. So here goes my short story of headphones and question afterwards.   I started with Sennheiser EH250. Really liked it. Lightweight, easy to wear, a very strong bass. Then I switched to...

Hi all.  I haven't been to this forum in months.   I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 449 which I got for $78 after tax!  I thought it was a good price so I went for it.   Now to the question...   I have long hair and when I was just trying on my new headphones the earmuffs got kind...

Here's what I did. - Created a 30 seconds pink noise in Audacity - Converted it to stereo - Played it in foobar2000 with the EQ as the only DSP, except the next one - Used a Spectrum analyzer VST - The DSP Window looks like this - Equalizer - Spectrum Analyzer VST - Played...

Hii guys I'm completely noob in this. Well, recently I just gained my interest for good quality audio then I decided to buy my first headphone,it's AKG 518 LE and I'm completely not happy with it. It's not very comfortable for long use and my main concern is the well balanced and detail...

Hi,   I'm currently using the HD449, I quite like the sound, however I find it a little lacking in bass. My main issue with the 'phones is that they clamp down on my head too hard and give me a headache quite quickly, my ears poke out a bit more than most! I will spend up to £200 (not that...

I've been recently researching new over the ear headphones because my Sennheiser HD449's just don't do it for me. I'm mainly looking for comfort and great sound quality here, but cannot exceed 150 dollars. I am also looking for a Bluetooth feature if possible. These will be used on the go...

I'm currently using a pair of Sennheiser HD 449's when I'm on my commute to and from work on the bus, and in a few months I'll be going back to school which will necessitate a 2 hour long transit commute, and I'm looking at various IEM's and pondering the benefits of the noise isolation, but I...

Hello, I currently have a Sennheiser HD449 which I don't plan on using (cuz imma basshead), and I wanna trade-in for something else (probably the 439s). I've already tried combing through Funan, no luck, so anyone got any ideas where can I do so? Sim Lim? O.o   I also don't mind selling it...

Alright, so I'm taking the plunge into high quality sound. I have been using some old Logitech headphones with mic for a long time and they just died. I am looking into getting a nice pair of headphones and a sound card. I plan on spending at the most $120 for the headphones and sound card. so...

Hi, I know there are many better headphones at this similar price. I have a free voucher that I can only pick this 2 choices. Which one will you pick? The ZX700 seems to have some no too positive review while the 449 seems to have more neutral opinion...
