I know the Grado SR60s are good, but they are open and I can't find them for anything closer than $80.  I'm looking to pick up some headphones for my friend.

I'm pretty new to all this so bear with me I'm looking for a set of headphones for library/study/everyday use under $100 and will be running it out of my laptop and ipod nano   Looking for: sound quality comfort portability/durability isolation/no leakage no IEMs (they get...

Hi   I was looking to buy a pair of headphones as an xmas gift for someone who will be using them for house/pop/rock music. The budget is around 50 dollars. Ideally it would be something portable, and closed style, and comfortable for long hours of wear. I was looking at the DT 235 and...

What are the most cost effective headphones you've ever heard, for classical music?

hi All... Do you have passion of collecting fantastic headphones? If yes we all will love seeing your list :)   Thanks a lot

Hello Head-Fi!   Im buying some headphones soon :) I had some Koss Porta-Pro's but the wire snapped and since they've been gone, ive gone through about 5 set of crappy 10-20 $ headphones. So know I'm looking for some decent ones for around 60 bucks! I'm pretty hard on my headphones (sports...

Hey i'm kinda new to this audio world. I used to have crappy headphones like Beats by dre.. but there's obviously something missing.     I read some reviews and thought Sennheisers will do. They're also easy to get in my country. I also kinda like the designs they have, which is also...

I just bought some Sennheiser HD428's about a week ago so far I'm not that happy with them.  The highs and mids sound good but the bass is very lacking.  I did some research here on the forums after I got them and found a thread about modding them, I tryed that and it worked somewhat.  I got...

hey guys christmas is coming up and being 15 and turning 16 in 2 months i asked my family for one thing: car money however my family is quite old fashioned and shot down my request saying that if i ask for car money its not working for a car and it dosent build character and blahbity blah so i...

First of all, sorry if there are already a million posts just like this, but...   I am in the market for some new cans! My Grado SR60s got the grattle and i think i damaged them by blowing through them too hard. Anyway, I would like to purchase a new set of headphones.   I am looking for...

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy either the HD428 or HD448 and was wondering whether my Ipod nano (3rd gen) will be able to power them without the use of an amp?  The packaging said that they were "optimized for Ipods and Mp3 players" but I cant seem to find threads that answer my question...

I have heard a lot about the Audio Technica ATH-30's, but thats just about it.   Does anyone have reccomendations for good headphones? I enjoy a good amount of bass, but am not a basshead. I would like crisp mids and highs. Generally, I listen to R&B, hip-hop :P, and rap.   If you post a...

I was looking at the HD 428, are they any good?

Any recommendations? I already got the ATH-M35 on sight.   Comfort, a straight cable, being lightweight, and at least some clamping on the head is most important. Being is easy to drive is also important.   Sound isolation and what not don't matter as much as I play on an electronic drum...

Alright, so i have a situation that i'm not sure where to go with currently. I have right now HD212 Pro's, i love them, they are great, and before i had these, i had the HD202's, which were also great, though just slightly less sound quality then the 212's, the thing i absolutely love about the...

I really like the AKG's but are a little bit too expensive, but  Ido like the K99's and K77's.   What about those?  And do you have any other suggestions?   Also, are Skullcandy's and WeSC's that poor?  They look pretty good and aren't too expensive, but I hear nothing good about them.

I currently have a set of cheap in ear Skullcandy Smokin Buds and I currently listen to them on my Sony Ericsson W760 and it plays at my optimal volume at the highest volume setting. (Im not deaf, it does not go very loud :P ). I am looking forward to buying the Sennheiser HD 428's for my...

Hey im looking for a new pair of headphones. Right now i have the Sennheisher HD 428, and while they sound nice and are VERY comftorable, they have almost non-existant bass, i listen to a lot of techno and hip hop and rock, and those tracks are usually bass heavy and I cant even feel the bass on...

I would kidnap it and would never be seen again.  Picked up these 2 at Best Buy the other day and I just cant pick one.    The xb500 has big bass which I l've but sometimes everything else gets lost in that.  I am trying to EQ it down some.  I mean, these things are like my car stereo system...

Introduction:   As an employee at a local retail store these headphonse have been staring me down for a while.  Haven't had much money, but seeing as I get these things at a good price with my discount, why not try them.   So, after about 30 minutes of listening I realized I had them on...

Hi, I already ordered HD428 $99CDN but a day later I found Sennheiser HD515 G4ME on sale for $79 (regular $199) from a reputable vendor. Should I return 428 (didn't receive yet) and get 515 instead.   I already returned 2 other headphones within a week to the vendor I bought 428 from...

I am using Sennheiser HD 428 along with Nokia 5800XM. Can anyone tell me EQ settings to get best SQ in genres like trance, pop, soft rock and electronic

Ehum   Could you recommend me good budget full-size headphones? mostly for music listening and my music taste is kinda wide so cant really give any genres. Price shouldnt go over 70$

Hi,  First of all I'm gonna say Hello guys to everyone reading this because I'm new here.  Now, to the main subject, I need to chose one of the following five models : Sennheiser HD 418 Sennheiser HD 428 Panasonic RP-HTX7 Sony MDR-XB500 Creative Aurva Live!  I must admit that I'm...

I'm trying to buy a good pair of over the ear headphones for my girlfriend's birthday. She has some ear piercings that prevent her from wearing earbuds so she wants some that will go over her ears. I've been looking at a few but I don't really know too much about over the ear headphones (I own...
