the only time my listening gets "loud" is the occasional big band, classical orchestra. even my pop/rock stuff is from the 50's 60's and 70's. i've had a number of sennheisers and loved them all, px100, sp 25, 550, 210. i have a denon 1001, etynomics. as you can see i try to keep the purchases...

I'm looking for some decent headphones well worth my money. Ive looked at some, including the Audio Technica SJ series, the sennheiser hd 238s, and the ATH-M35. Some other recommendations would be nice too. I'm a newbie when it comes to headphones, but my old jvc ear buds aren't filling the...

Hi im trying to find some good headphones that sound great for music and have a big soundstage for positional audio. Also it has to be 100$ in canadian because on amazon the a700 are like 120 in usa but in canada it went up to 180. Way too much. Im fine with a bit over 100 but yea. Im a noob :)

I know what you're thinking, "Oh no! not another beats thread..." I would like to say first off i am not interested in beats by dre, i just want to ask something. I always hear people say that the Beats Solo HD are really bad for $200 (which they are) and you can get headphones for around $50...

Hi all,   I Found that putting Grado Comfy pads on a PX100 improves the sound a bit! If you dislike the stock PX100 sounds, you're not alone. I love the sound but wanted to experiment to find a way to improve it. Through all my experimenting, I found you can slip Grado Comfy pads over the...

Bought these on local "ebay". Everybody knows the details : shiny - matt plastic, lenght of the cable, hard case , logos colour  etc. Signs are OK. One friend of mine said :   -Forget the outher marks, the real ones have white drivers! (  http://www.head-fi.org/t/400031/px100-disassembled )...

Hello,   I brought this up in another thread (and JK1 provided me with a lot of helpful info), but I thought I would start a new thread for it with a related title in order to get more impressions from PX100II owners.   Background: I am new to "not complete crap" headphones. I am trying...

So...I tried the Koss Portapro.    Immediately...didn't like them.  I have a large head and they were tight on me, even when the headband was extended to it's maximum.  (I even tried the Sennheiser PX 100 - it clamped on me so tight that my ears felt like they were going to bleed)   Plus...

hey guys,    new to headfi. im looking for comfortable headphones with great bass for under 70. currently own the shure srh 240 but the bass too weak for my taste and its highs are quite piercing at times..   anyway, the important thing is good bass (quality and quantity) and wont...

  Hey Everyone,     The other day I was skimming over blog posts at headphonia and Mikes review of the Sennheiser PX210BT caught my attention. He said not only did the new generation PX surpass its predecessors but he put it up against the M50s and HD 25II and he liked the new PX based on...

Hello. I'm Ralph, adn this is my first time in the forums. I'm also totally new to the high quality sound world. I had always listened to music with the headphones included by default with my players, as well as simple headphones I bought in the way, Some time ago, I finally decided to try...

I bought the AKG K26P (some 7 or so years ago) from Headroom for $30. I believe ( a few years later) it was renamed the AKG K414P and was still selling for around $30. A friend of mine really likes the sound so I was looking for a new pair for her. I was wondering if anyone here knows what “AKG”...

I'm looking for some headphones under $50, portable headphones especially. I've been searching for some time and have found a number of options, but I would like some better advice. I listen to a broad diversity of music, so the headphones need to be all-around performers. I also live in Africa...

Any suggestions?   Thanks!

I know that there are specific threads for different things but I find it difficult to find a lot of information on headphones in the style I prefer. I prefer over the ear headphones that are comfortable for long usage that are not closed. I listen to music and other things in relative peace and...

Ok, when i jog i usually use a pair of px100 which are now broken. I need something really cheap (sub 12euro) from amazon.co.uk. But i don't wanna any iem or earphones, i want a pair of headphones (or some earbud/earclip)... any suggestions? I need something really light, don't really care that...

My girlfriend is looking for a first set of cans, but wants to keep the size relatively small. I ran her through my Sennheiser collection (px100, 280, 595, and 650) and her favorite was by far the 595 because of how clear and soft they sounded. She did not, however, like that they bleed sound...

  Hello folks,    Please let me introduce myself shortly. I’m from Mexico, Male, 26 yo. Industrial Engineer,   Although I have been looking around for a while, today I decided to register so here I am.     About 4 years ago on a trip to Las Vegas. I purchased my PX100s. I loved...

Hi, I am coming from Sennheiser PX 100 an choosing new phones to use with mine Samsung Galaxy S (voodoo moved), MacBook Pro, and iPhone Touch. I'm deciding beetwen: Creative aurvana live Razer Orca Sony MDR-XD400 These are in my price range, and available at my local...

I'm looking for a set of open travel headphones to replace the old Koss Porta-Pro and Sennheiser PX100s that have done long duty as my travel partners.  Both are starting to make that crackle from time to time that says the cable is failing.   Have long enjoyed Etymotic in-ear headphones -...

Hi I'm a happy PX100 user. But during commutation, the external noise renders its useless. I'm thinking that an IEM will help me here. I'm looking out for helpful suggestions towards this: - An IEM that has the same sound signature as PX100 - Not very expensive. Probably $80 is the max I'm...

I'm liking the price the HD485s can be had for now (£35/$70) in the UK. I have some PX100s which I would like to upgrade for some mellow open phones. I made a post a little while ago where HD6xx series were mentioned for a relaxing listen but these obviousley come at a premium price. As...

I'm getting sick of shopping for headphones I think this trio will suit me right. As of now I only own Apple buds, and Sennheiser MX400s (from eBay... I think they're knock offs). Earphone Solutions seem to be a respectable online retailer, and I'll be getting my UM1's from them. But...

could someone with px100's or px200's post a picture of the drivers? doesn't have to be too extreme, just remove the pads and snap a picture.

I read the thread "Sennheiser PMX100 or Grado SR60" with great interest, as I was thinking of getting an HD477 (until I really started looking at all those posts glorifying the PX100). I like the little tiff beteen Roger.McMurphy and nsjong, because Roger favored the HD477, and nsjong favored...
