Hello, I'm a real beginner to all audiophilic things and I'm in the process of purchasing my first 'real' headphone setup. I'm ready to spend about 300 € (about $430) and possibly a bit more. As I said, I'm a total newbie, and though I know a bit about this stuff, I don't really know what the...

Hey   So I bought the Sennheiser HD518. I don't particularly like it. Its way too bassy.   I do like some things about it, its got a nice big sound, I can see why it may appeal others.   Anyways.   I'm driving it straight from my laptop's internal sound card.   So I put on some music...

i am looking new headphones to use indoors. i don't want to use my in-ear headphones at home since it gets too uncomfortable after long times. i would really like to be as close to $100 as possible, maybe a little over if needed. i have looked at headphones such as the sennhesier hd555, hd518...

Hi everyone,   I'm new on this forum and I'm here for some advice. Though I enjoy my music, I'm not that much of an audiophile. My cheap-ass Philips SHP8500's gave me all the "oh my goodness, I'm hearing things I never heard before" moments I could wish for. So why am I here? Well, a friend...

I'm sure you guys get these questions a lot... but I got $150 to spend. I'm wondering what is the best pair of headphones I can get for that money? I was looking at the Sennheiser HD 518's... they are pretty new from what I understand, so have any of you guys tried them out or own them? They are...

I have a pair of ath-cks77's and I was considering buying either a pair of headphones (ath-m50) or speakers. I really like the sound of my computer speakers and the sound of the speakers in my car compared to my IEMS. Obviously a large part of this may be due to the fact that my speakers are...

I think I narrowed my search to these two headphones. seems to me that the sony mdrxb700s are overrated. which would be better for an all around music listener but listening more to hip hop

I'm new to these forums, but a buddy of mine visits this site every day and referred me here. I am about to go to college and want some headphones. The max I want to spend is $150, but preferably want to spend around $100 (or less ).   Uses: - Music. I don't need 100% perfect sound...

I was listening to music today, and switching between my stereo receiver and my headphone amp.  In the course of switching, I switched the right and left RCA cables and put the white on red and red on white of the RCA-to-mini adapter.  I didn't really notice it until I heard certain songs, and I...

I am in doubt about which phone to buy because I'm from Brazil and we do not havemany affordable prices here and wait to buy on my next visit to the eua.eu were planning on spending a maximum of 300 dollars since we'll have to buy the sennheiser OriginalHD 25 for use on decks, when I play...

Is it true that every brand has its own unique sound signiature?Like that Grado's are "bright"sennheisers are "laid back" and ety's are very eehhm "analyctical". I find this true on the most senn's i have(tried),but is it also true for Other brands or do the future more diverse sound...

So I have a pair of m50's and I want another pair of more portable headphones I listen to Dubstep and hip hop and then a little rock    I found the 518's on amazon in yellow for 50 idk if its legit...

I'm interested in getting a decent set of headphones since the only ones I have used so far are the sony in-ear and the ipod ones. I have don't have that much money to spend. I'm looking to spend around $100. I'll be using them with my zune and the desktop that i'm planning on buidling. I listen...

Hi people   I am new to the forum and I came here to ask for some advice on a good all around headset, as I am not using it for any special purpose. I will be gaming, listening to music, watching some movies... the problem comes when i say my budget is maybe no more than 130 bucks. I don't...

Hey Guys, I am thinking about buying the Sennheiser HD518, But before I buy these headphones I just need a clear a few things. Could you guys please answer me these following questions about the Sennheiser HD518.   1. Do the Sennheiser HD518 use Velour Earpads? On the Sennheiser Website it...

Itm my birstday 24 april and i am sure what to get,a sennheiser HD 518 But do i need to have something like a portable amp for this or can i run it from pretty much any MP3 player/PC?  

I want either the phiaton ms 400 or sennheiser hd 518 which one is best for on the go and at home good sounding audio?

  Hi all   I'm from NZ - and unfortunately our headphone prices here are exorbitant - there is no simpler way to put it.  Classic example - am visiting New York in 2 weeks (biz trip), and have preordered a set of Shure SRH 840's for US 129 (NZ $175).  Same cans in NZ would be $429 (US 315)...

What's the gap between the Sennheiser 518's, the 558's, and the 598's?   Just starting out, and wondering if it's worth the extra money for the 598's.   thanks greg

Hi there, I currently use a X41 and I am very unsatisfied, I will be selling it to a friend so I will get $200 USD from that.  I don't care about 5.1/wireless and all that useless crap. it has to be: 3.5mm (absolutely no usb) Great for Movies Great for Music Great for Gaming (have to...

I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 Pros. They are the best cans I've owned so far, and have lasted me for three years at least. I must admit that I am not an audiophile because I don't have that much money to shell out and haven't had time to compare. I've been making a little wish list...

Noticed the very agreeable pricing out there on the HD555 these days. Is the HD555 still in production, or just being sold off? I know Sennheiser's brought out the new 558 & 598 as an upgrade/evolution of the 595, but I don't see a new model aimed at the 555 niche. You know ... mid-priced, 1/8"...

  So...I've had the HD558's for about 3 weeks now, and after about 100 or so hours of burning in, I think It's time to do a little review. I'm not an expert by any means, these are the most expensive headphones I've ever owned, so I wont use any technical data, I'm just gonna give an honest...

Do you guys reckon it is worth using a small, portable external DAC or amp with the FiiO X3 when on the move?   Headphones I'll be using: - Shure SE535 - Shure SE315 or something similar - Sennheiser HD518 - V-Moda M80 - Senn Momentum - ATH-A900X   I have a FiiO E12 and can get a FiiO...

I didn't find any reviews of these headphones on here, so I figured I'd order a pair and attempt to give the community a sense of the sound signature of these.  I paid about $100 for them from Razordogdeals on eBay. I think that with a bit of equalization, they are worth their selling price.  I...
