Hey guys! I know that this is an old question but I would want to know which cans is better. I'm new to this kind of stuff, and because of my past experiences in buying hardware I should research about it before blindingly buying xD... And by that, I found that the SR80i has good...

I suspect that I have a somewhat different problem than most of the forum users here, but perhaps someone can suggest some solutions. A little over a year ago I suffered an overnight sudden hearing loss caused by a viral infection. I permanently lost all usable hearing in the right ear and had a...

I'm new here but have been doing a lot of searching on the forums and haven't been able to find anything quite like what I'm looking for. I'm a long time musician who is finally deciding to really make the jump into being more of an audiophile. I have a nice set of studio monitors that I love at...

I currently have the m50 and the hd555, i have used them for quite a while and would like to know what i should do next. I am not sure if i should buy a better pair of headphones or get a dac, amp, or even a soundcard for that sake.   Whatever it comes down to could i get a price estimate i...

I've grown tired of using over the head headphones and was wondering what you guys would recommend for behind the head solutions instead? My Headphone history includes a Audio Technica ATH-A900's, as well as Sennheiser HD-555's (foam modded to 595's). I'm basically looking for something in...

Hello guys I am planning my next open headphone purchase. And I am thinking of something withing that price range. (max 400 dollars) What are your guys thoughts about those four(4) headphones? If any help; I am really impressed with the HD555(modded to 595) run from my X-fi Sound card...

I was curious as to how different genres are affected by different qualities in headphones. I've read a lot in the past few days about bass, mids, highs. I don't know what this stuff means in terms of instrumentation.    The reason I ask is because I am considering buying a new set of...

Gday Guys,   First of all, I've been a long time lurker here, and used these forums as a main source of information regarding headphones that I have purchased in the past. I have owned a fair few headphones, from the cheap $50 headsets you pick up from EB Games, to "gaming headsets" and to...

Hi guys, I built a new gaming pc a couple months ago, but I never went with a sound card.  Just getting audio straight from the motherboard.  The sound I'm getting is decent from my current HD 555  headphones, but I know it could be better.  So I was just wondering should I have a dedicated...

Ive narrowed my initial search down and these are the models Ive come up with. I'm looking for tonal balance where the mids and highs blend with the bass, but not one area is over powering. Warm sounding, not bright. My budget was around $100. Doesn't need to be exactly portable. Ill be using...

Relatively new here. I currently own a pair of Grado sr60's due to head-fi's recommendation a few years ago. Really great cans, and I love them for what I paid for, but their comfort and sound leakage are encouraging me to look into upgrading. From browsing the forums, the Aurvana Live! and...

I HAVE Z5500 speackers Asus DX1 sound card I used to have Sennheiser HD 25 till the cable came loose and only 1 speaker works. I mainly use my headphones aswell.   I listen to mainly old school rap/hiphop type and bascily youtube vidoes and maybe 5% of the time movies and other stuff  ...

Hello guys I am planning to purchase Sony MDR-XB1000 because I love house, electronic and trance music. (I listen to dj: rt24 from soundcloud if you want to check out my music taste) Would an amplifier for example like FiiO E11 make a lot of difference for me listening to music from both...

Hello everyone   I am looking to upgrade my current headphones. I have 2-3 years old pair of HD555s (modded of course) plugged to a Titanium HD. I want the headphones mostly for music, since the only game I pretty much play is Starcraft. I listen to pretty much every music style possible...

My cables on my Sennheiser HD595 got bit my dog and no longer work. Are the headphones able to be re-wired? If so, are there any guides available ?     

Hello guys. I'm looking to upgrade from my first set of audiophile cans (Grado SR60i) and I'm not sure what to get. I like the sound of the Grados, but I don't have much to compare them to. While I want good accurate sound, I wouldn't mind if my new pair had a little more low-end punch than the...

Hello!   I've been using Sennheiser PC350 "gaming" headset for little bit over one year now and i want to buy new and better headphones but i'm not really sure what headphones would be good for me. I play games and listen a lot of music, mostly pop but some other genres as well. I was going...

Both of these get very good reviews, except on test freaks the 380 is rated much higher. im wondering which to buy, im upgrading from the rubbish sony mdr v700 dj's. im going to use them in my laptop and will be using an amp i think. the only thing i care about is comfort which i would like, and...

Budget: $200 (can stretch to $250, but that will mean I sacrifice an item for my PC I have my eyes on)     Debating between: Beyerdynamic DT880 (32 ohm vs 250 ohm) Sennheiser HD595 Sennheiser HD600 Sennheiser HD650 Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 Any other recommendations?    ...

After perusing around the internets for a while, attempting to discern which set of headphones would suit me, I've settled on these two pairs.   - Sennheiser HD 595 - Audio Technica ATH-M50   People from all over seem to be raving about the ATH-M50s, but at the same time the HD 595s...

My current cans are Grado SR-125i's. And while I get an enormous amount of pleasure from them, I want that upgrade. So my question is this, will I get more bang for my buck upgrading to 225i's or Senn HD595's?

which for gaming?   need: good sound stage crisp sound some bass not a lot no wire tangling (if possible) comfort for hours will work great with astro mixamp with xbox   if you have any other suggestions i have a budget of 150 dollars    

They seem to be roughly the same price but I can't tell what the difference is and which is better?   Thanks a lot!

Apparently I'm a freak of nature or something, but there isn't quite enough clearance for my ears in the HD595s (lightly touching the back of the headphones). It's somewhat distracting and fatiguing over time.   Does anyone know of a place I could buy larger pads that will fit the phones, or...
