Dear All I thought of giving my input on the M40's. First I have owned the m40's for about 6 months, Second I have an pair of Sennheiser HD650, Ultrasone series 9, and Skullcandy aviators. In the initial impressions of having the m40's I noticed that the m40s were not upto par, When I increased...

Hi there,   I'm looking to buy a nice pair of headphones. Most I'll be listening to stuff on my laptop at home but I'd like to get a pair that I wouldn't feel ridiculous bringing to a coffee shop.   My budget is around $600-1000 total. From what I read it seems like a lot of...

Hi everyone,   I've been following the head-fi forums for the last few weeks trying to attempt to get up to speed with you guys.    I've had a Kef sound system for a few years and an onkyo 875 for a few years, I've had to move away and leave it behind and finding it hard to cope without...

I have a great pair of closed headphones that I really enjoy (COP) for all around listening at work or home.  I am considering a pair of open headphones for home listening.  I generally listen to rock (old/new), country, and jazz.  I have a pair of Sennheiser HD495 that are on ear style, but I...

Greetings Head Fi,   The title, while maybe humorous, is not a joke. I really do want to buy headphones that work best for one song, and that song is To Glory by Two Steps From Hell.   I will describe the song as "epic classical" in that it has booming drums and powerful, driving strings...

Hi! First of all, I want to thank you guys very very much for all the wealth of information you so selflessly provide here. I would be lost completely if it weren't for you.   Now, I have a pair of Bose QC 15, or at least had, until wife got them on her side of the desk. So, I need new...

First up, no headphone setup will sound any good with poor source input.  GIGO applies with a vengeance.  The setup here is balanced digital feed out of an Meridian MS600 as part of a Meridian MDMS (used to be more sensibly called "Sooloos") system.  It is apodised and upsampled to 88.2 kHz...

Are these cans considered neutral?   What do they compare to?

I'm in an auditory perception lab at MIT, and we're looking for the most "objectively flat" headphones for doing experiments: that is, the headphones that by objective measurements have the flattest frequency response as measured at the eardrum. We also want to minimize any colorations like...

What are some of the most renown over-ear headphones of all time?

As i cant decide on what pair of headphones to buy. I thought i could go and demo them and see for myself which signature i like. Getting onto the question...   I'm going to New York in a few months time. As it is New York it obviously will have some good local hifi stores that let you try the...

The Idea: I don't know if the attempt of this thread will be futile or not, but it's worth a shot. I noticed that some people have created new threads or short threads asking for companion or pairing headphones, but those threads never got very far. I know that this may sound a lot like the...

Over a year ago I bought the HD650 and after few months I noticed, that the right side was louder. (This is very obvious when I turn the headphones the other way round on my head). The shop replaced the HD650 for me and at first I didn´t notice anything and kept on living... But now I noticed...

Hey all, I am a hope-to-be audiophile in the market for a set of good quality headphones around $300-400 (maybe $500 for the right set).

I apologize for posting this in two different forums, but I figured I may get additional expertise in the IEM forum on the IEm side of things here.    OK, so I think I want to give some full size or portable cans a try. But here's the thing. My main source will be an iPod Classic 7th gen. I...

Hello together,   i really like the sound of my Sennheiser HD540 Rerference II. The Problem: I don't like it's fit . i prefer the newer series, e.g. HD515 (but i don't like it's sound).   Is there a Headphone, which sounds nearly similar - i tried 558, but it wasn't that satisfying...
