Hey all, I've searched this forum and found some similar topics to this, but I haven't seen my question in particular. I'm wondering if the Sennheiser HD555's are significantly different (worse) than the HD558 and HD598 lines. I'm a big fan of the coloring for both the 558 and the 555 (matches...

Now I consider myself a pretty big gamer, have been since the 80's with my Nes. You could say I'm a bit of a Nintendo nut job for the most part. lol And I absolutely love playing the Wii on my 5.1 Surround Sound system...Sure the Wii may only pump out Dolby Pro Logic II, but it's still sounds...

Hey im new to headphones in general but i have been doing A LOT of research because i am dedicated to buying some this weekend.   The headphones i have in mind are Sennheiser HD555 , ATH-M50's , Sennheiser HD 280 , Audio Technica AD700   Now i know some of these are open and closed but i...

Hi,   I'm pretty new to all this technology and i'm looking at upgrading to a new pair of headphones. My current headset is the logitech G35, since these were my first i really LOVED them, i loved the sound quality, and the bass (since i really like alot of bass) and the comfort. But...

I am looking for good circumaural headphones that don't need amps... main thing is comfort sub $100. Open or closed dosn't matter, but moderate sound isolation is a plus.   Does anyone know if there's a good reivew list like the following for full sized headphones...

a friend of mine wants to get a good pair of headphones that are 200 dollars or less but would only get them if they were good for both gaming(great soundstage) and studio(making beats) usage.   any suggestions?

Hi,   So I've got some spare budget and I've been thinking about possibly upgrading some of my audio at home...   Currently I've a pair of DT1350's (amazing headphones for SQ, but a little uncomfortable for constant wear, especially since i seem to have largeish ears!)   A pair of...

On craigslist I found someone looking to sell a pair of audio technica ath-m50 for 100. The headphones are described as "Mint condition. Email for more pictures. Comes with everything it came with, except for the original box." No pictures included. Is it suspicious or understandable that he...

Hey guys I'm relatively new to the high end headphones and was thinking of getting my first set, but couldn't  decide on which set to get.  I did a little research online and went to the stores in my area and I've narrowed it down to the Audio-Technica ATH-M50s and the Sennheiser HD 518's I also...

Hello everyone, I'm new here and am a total newbie at headphones. I'm looking to pick up my first set of headphones and have actually looked around.    For now, I prefer the headphones to be able to play well without amps. I like more of pop rock music, however, don't really know how to...

Anyone have any experience with this amp? I'm planning on buying one off someone for $40 but I'm not quite sure on how much it's actually worth seeing as it's pretty old and it's not exactly easy finding a concrete price on it.   Is $40 a good deal on it? Also, anyone used one of these...

Let me preface this by saying that my taste for sound reproduction devices is very simple--accuracy, neutrality, defined, clear, no hype or dip in any frequency range, as deep a soundstage and expansive stereo imaging to accommodate all recording's original intent, fast transient response...

Okay, now I did start a previous thread down in the Computer Audio section of these forums, and while I was "fixed" on the Sennheiser HD 555s, I was suggested the Superlux HD 668B w/AKG Velour Replacement Pads.  Both of these headphones like good choices, but I also been looking at the Ultrasone...

First off, I want to say that I've been lurking around the forums for a while but this is my first official post.. so hello to you all!    I'm still very new to high-end audio but already I've learnt so much since discovering this website in the last year. I was persuaded to buy a pair of HD...

Hey all, been browsing everyday since I joined, just don't post much :p I haven't seen a single HD555 wallpaper, besides just high quality pictures of it, so I decided to try to make one as I just ordered a pair and am anxious. If anyone wants me to I'm sure I could switch it out for another...

I've finally decided to upgrade my HD555 headphones to the HD600s, and I was wondering what amplifier should I get to drive them properly. I will be using the computer as the source, and currently I only have an on-board sound card... So should I just get a card like the Xonar Essence ST that...

Hi, thought I would finally join on here after a long time lurker.   I've been researching much over the past few months, as I'm after some new headphones for gaming and listening to music. I have some HD555's at the moment and after much reading I want to go for the DT 880.   Now I know...

Hi,   Are the headbands on the Sennheiser 515/555/595 (if there are others please state them) the same?   I own the 595's and would like to replace the leather headband with one with an outer plastic coating so I can go about having them spray painted therefore would like to know which...

My first jump into decent headphones came with me getting a Asus Essence Xonar ST and a pair of HD555's. I have really enjoyed the step up in fidelity they have given me, and they are great for games and movies as well. Now I am thinking another pair maybe more refined for music would be good...

So it's been many months since I returned my Sony MDR-7506 headphone since they sounded very flat and I still can't decide on a good pair of headphones.   I have decided to lower my budget since I'm short on money but I still want to make a worthy investment. My budget is now around $50. I...

Hey guys I was just wondering if you could explain what the benefits of switching my Sennehsier HD 555 cable to a Blue Dragon Moon Audio Cable would be, and if it's really worth the 150$.

Right now I'm considering: -555 -595 -A700 -AD700 -M50 -V Moda Crossfades I mostly FPS game and listen to dubstep(sometimes rock, but mostly bass heavy dubstep), and watch a ton of movies  

I've been asking in several different places for the right headphones to get but have yet to decide on one to actually spend my money on. Primary use will be for all kinds of metal music, including (but not limited to) Thrash Metal, Death Metal, Black Metal, Heavy Metal, Metalcore, Deathcore...
