Hi friends, I want to buy  headphones that can blow my mind. I have 300"$ to spend and i want  headphones that are good for listening to music at home or on streets, to mix and sound checking because I am planing to study to be an audio technician, so i need something that suits me for that life...

Hey guys and gals (but probably mostly guys haha)   I'm a hifi enthusiast and I'm looking to acquire my first pair of IEMs. I'm currently running an HD650 with great cables and terminations from a Lavry DA11 (probably not the ideal setup for a lot of the critics here however I'm also a music...

So, I'm currently enjoying and loving the Sennheiser HD-650, but I find it's a bit inconsistent with what it's good with. Some tracks sound simply amazing with the HD-650, yet, others fall completely flat. I don't remember having this problem with any other high-end pair of headphones before...

My head has been spinning in circles, and I just want to make a thread for it. I listen to a lot of rock and bands that use a synthesizer. The songs that use synthesizer(you guys are probably thinking electronica) It has little to no bass. My budget is $1000, I'm looking for a open headphone...

Every time I check into this forum, I find more and more threads recommending portable amps for headphones like the K701 and the HD650. What? I have not heard every portable amp out there, but I've owned and heard quite a few and currently own a LaRocco PRII, an SR-71 and a Rockhopper mini^3...

If using headphones for mixing your own music, you will inevitably be dealing with music that has not yet been mastered.   Music in this state can contain aggressive high frequencies, clipping and/or distortion. Would reproducing these sounds cause damage to the voice coil and/or drivers of...

A while back, I rounded up my old, unused equipment: HD650, X-Can V8p, and a Denon AVR-2802 and passed them along to my 15-year-old step-step-nephew, twice removed - I think. It's complicated - too many blended families are at work here. He's a good kid with a rabid interest in music, audio, and...

I'm looking to see (before I get into DIY land) if anyone knows of a hard case (SKB/Pelican/Road Ready) that is designed to hold 3 or 4 sets of full-size headphones. Ideally, I think this would be top loading, and have a hanger system with dividers and space underneath for cables/accessories -...

So it has come down to GradoLabs  SR325i VS Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium VS Sennheiser HD650 (I'm getting HD800 later this year so I wanna avoid these for now) VS Hifiman 400 VS Sony MDR-7520 VS AKG A-701  They are all in my budget which is under 400. Could someone point me to ones you think...

Hi!   I joined this community just now but I have been reading it since a long time ago.   I own the AKG k271 Mk. II, and the IEM RE0, because I try to produce a bit of music, and now I would like to buy a new headphone to enjoy listening to music.   My musical preferences are very...

Why is everyone selling their Audeze headphones. Is it that they regret their purchase? There are currently 10s of LCDs for sale... wow...

I know this should probably go in another section but I am just wondering if anyone in this area is active on this site since I have not met any other audiophiles or head-fi'ers around here. It would be cool to meet someone with other full size headphones to try.

Have:   Sennheiser HD650, powered by Matrix M-Stage, Musical Fidelity V-DAC, computer as source, all Audioquest interconnects.   Between these two headphones, which should I get?  I'm all ears for suggestions.  Just looking to explore some new sounds.  I used to have a pair of MS-1s but...

The music I listen to is mostly vocals. I have the Beyer T1s, Anedio D2, custom Woo Audio amp (equivalent to WA2) and an IPod dock with digital out. My impressions on what I have heard are: Beyer T1 - great balanced sound but treble can get fatiguing after long listening LCD2 - great control...

I did a search but nobody seems to have this posted up just yet. Hang onto your wallets! (Coming in Q2) 2012 Talk about design. I think it's aesthetically excellent, maybe you disagree. They were mentioned as hovering around the $399 mark retail on release. At least that's what the rep...

As the title states i'm in the market for some new headphones. I currently own the v-moda crossfade lp's which were given to me as a gift about a year ago. I am looking for some new headphones around $350 it can go as far as $400, but nothing higher than that and lower than $350 would be great...

Hi everybody!   I'm going to buy myself a pair of headphones within the week and I'm wondering what kind of headphones I should go for. I've been suggested a lot of headphones and I've removed some of them because they don't seem to look comfortable enough (Grado PS500, Sennheiser 650 etc)...

I've seen a lot of High End Systems on Head-fi and often see Headphones that cost less than 1/6th the price of the total units. I've seen the Grado Prestige Series used quite a lot, Sennheiser next possibly, Beyerdynamic, and then Audio-Technica as the most common at this price point.   So...

Anyone else noticed this?! I have owned HD650 and IE8 now and I notice the same thing with both.....   It could be described as a channel imbalance as that is what it seems like although every test I have done eg. frequency sweeps in mono / stereo, pink noise, low volume etc. various...
