I run 3-5 times per week on my treadmill for 1-2 miles.  I sweat moderately.   I love listening to religious music and am wanting to upgrade from simple sony sport headphones to Bose AE2 vs Sennheiser HD 448   Bose AE2  lightweight, won't bother running   Sennheiser HD 448...

Hey everybody. So I'm looking at getting some new headphones.  At the moment I'm considering either the Bose OE or the AKG 460.  Although I want headphones that sound awesome its more important that they look good as well because I will be using them when walking around in public so I dont want...

A bit about myself: I have the HFI-580 as my first pair of headphones, and while I enjoy the V-shaped frequency response, I'm looking to see what other sound signatures have to offer. So for my second pair I'm looking for either closed or semi-open phones with an emphasized midrange, for under...

I am looking for a new pair of headphones to listen to music at work etc. I am no audiophile, but really want a good set of closed-set headphones for under $125 and I am placing comfort high on my list as I will be wearing them for hours at a time. Sound isolation is important as I work in an...

Ok. So I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 408.  But wasnt too happy with the sound ( I like a perfect mix the lows mids and highs), by pluging them directly into the iPod Classic. So invested in a Headphone amp (FIIO E7). But now the problem is the bass sounds too synthetic and very...

so after some research ....  these 2 models I've finalized .... which one is better ? JVC HA-RX700 or Sennheiser HD 448

Hi guys, I picked up Senn HD555 for ~$80 and I am very impressed (have yet to do the foam mod to turn them into HD595s). I also want to get a pair of IEMs for portability and isolation, preferably at around the same price, $80-100. I will be listening to classical music (piano + orchestral) on...

Well I thought I would contribute instead of lurking and adding an opinion to some threads for one thousand posts. So this thread is about Amp's and the synergy they have with certain headphones. Just the few amp's I have herd I will list and I would appreciate it if people could contribute...

Largely for budget reasons I'm inclined to buy Ety HF-5s rather than what I had my eyes on, DBA-02s.  And, by the way, the price of DBA-02s just went up to $180 on ebay. Both seem to be good for classical, which is my primary requirement.   Question: what precisely would I be sacrificing by...

I've got a pair of Sennheiser HD-555s that I love... but I wouldn't want to take them to school to study with due to their open-ness and sheer size.   I've gotten used to how comfortable and massively sounding they are so I'd be open to get a smaller pair of headphones that don't leak like...

I have been looking around quite a bit for a pair of closed, circumaural and passive noise isolating headphones. I have never used full size headphones before, so I am eager to get a new pair. After reading numerous reviews and watching videos I narrowed my options down to three -   1. Shure...

I've been enjoying my HD448s (driven by my macbook pro, no amp), but when I listen to some music I perceive real limits: during big moments of big symphonies (like the 4th movement of Beethoven 9), or big moments of rock, like some of the louder, boomier parts of U2's Achtung Baby. It doesn't...

Hey there!   First post here :) I've bought my first headphones about 1.5 year ago and since then I was hooked! It was only 50 euro's, a Philips brand (dont know exactly which model it is).   I have no clue what headphones are any good out there. I bought my first headphones without even...

After a long absence I've returned to this forum to research IEMs, and I am once again impressed by the large amount of help offered to newbies. I want to "pay it forward" by offering some reflections on the headphones that I bought in January 2010 after doing extensive research on this thread...

    Hi, I'm new to this forum and I was looking for some advice on buying headphones I am considering getting headphones that are below $100 for use at home and work. Looking for something that has an awesome sound quality and bass, with more emphasis on the bass. Comfort isn't much of...

Hey kinda new to head fi but as I can see alot of you are very knowledgeable and have experience in alot of different types of headphones and i would like your opinions on which headphones would suit my needs   Il be mainly using on a laptop or a mp3 player Comfort while wearing is...

uum yea here I thought I was settled on HD448 when I just encountered ath-m50 and started to doubt....again so here's my last question about what to pick ( I hope) for a while so to be short in facts: - I'm not that in bass heavy music, so if bass is clean, that's probably all what I need...

I am currently torn at the moment between these two products and although I know they are both very different would like to have opinions from you guys on what you would pick given the chance.   I would like to add also that i would be using these on an i pod or a laptop, if this changes...

I am looking for something with good noise isolation, but is comfortable and not too warm on the ears after a few hours. Used primarily for studying in noisy environment, and also watching movies on laptop. Preferably cheap and durable too as I am a student on a tight budget. I am currently...

Yes I've googled, I looked at the reviews for both models, even found similar topics on head-fi but none of them answer mine question fully. So to start my priority order is 1. sound quality 2. comfort 3. stability 4. if I'm able to wear them at public (not talking about sound isolation...

title explains all. 

Hello all   I was able to get a pair of brand new HD 650s off ebay for a good price (compared to everywhere else) so i couldnt help but to get them. I have a Macbook Pro and a lot of my music is from sources all over (not much was ripped from CDs or via itunes store) so the quality varies...

I hate to just jump right in a well-established forum and demand buyers advice from the pros, but seems like the most solid advice I will find. So here goes.      Been looking for a decent pair of headphones online for about a week, and my price point seems to always reveal two pairs: the...

Hey Head-fi,   I am very new to this community and new to headphones as well! Soo, uhh. Hope you guys/girls don't mind me asking very noobie questions.    Anyway, within this month I'm thinking on buying a new music player and a new pair of headphones. So in conclusion I'm thinking on...

Which headphones have more bass?
