I recently got a Cute Beyond amp to go with my Fubar II and am really enjoying it . But with some headphones there's an audible background hiss, even with volume on minimum and nothing playing, in particular with my CX300's. I can also hear it on my PX100 but not on my HD555 or any of the...

Decided to make their portable cans practically impossible to drive from a DAP? I had the PX200s, they were fine out of my IPod but the newer 228/238 and '4' series are terrible out of a DAP even my cowon has issues with them. Someone must have thought that was a bad idea during testing surely!

I've been looking around at getting one of these two portable headphones and I simply can't decide which to get. From what I'm seeing the only differences between the two are aesthetics, comfort (I've mostly just seen people complaining about the PortaPros eating their hair) and the fact that...

Anyone here a brand-loyal type of person like me? I owned/own a variety of IEMs from different mfgr but am gravitating toward Sennheiser for their sound signature, design, etc. Worried I will miss out on other good sound (i.e. Westone 4s) but I love my Sennheisers.

Hi all, i try to find out if there are some Sennheiser CX series earphones that have similar SQ characteristics as Sennheiser PX-100 (Mk. 1) headphones, i.e. natural, balanced sound, not bass driven. Around cca 40 - 60 EUR. When i look at the CX product line i see only high-end CX-880 (lifelike...

I've read conflicting things about the PortaPro vs the PX100. When assessed individually, people tend to say the PortaPro is dark and muddy, bassy and has somewhat rolled off highs. When the PX100 is assessed individually it is said to be dark as well, and laid back and lush...etc... But when...

Still a noob...but I've been noticing that I always monkey with EQ'ing now that I have decent IEM's. I like to get the best out of whatever song I'm listening to. I listen to many genre's and skip around. Never usually listen to the whole album.   I'll EQ it for the Axel F. theme...then I...

  New to the forums here, nice to meet you all.   I've had a pair of Sennheiser PX100s for the past year and a half, until recently the wiring severed and they stopped working.  Luckily, they were still under warranty, so I sent them in for repair about a month ago.   Today, I got a...

I am finding headphones that is similarly sized as the portapro, so I could just put it in my bag (which I can't do with the HD25-1 II). I couldn't find anything now that is that small, so can you guys suggest me some? 

I was shocked to see these wonderful phones cropping up all over Head-Fi.org, yet no well-deserved official Appreciation Thread, so I decided to kick one off!   Please post your experiences with these gorgeous woodies, African Padauk Cups clad with Black Dyed Lambskin Leather Pads, in a...

Hello. This is my first post on the head-fi forums, although I've been a regular reader for a few months now. I'm posting to get peoples opinions on what may be a good upgrade for me. I've been looking into this myself but feel a bit overwhelmed by the amount of choice there is out there and...

Just as the thread title says.    I got this idea after seeing quite a few pictures of people's collections and set ups. I realized that there was no way everyone will put out a review on every single one they own, but if it's small like this, it could give others good ideas on what they...

Hi, I'm new here and I'm a noob. I'm going to buy the first pair of high-quality headphones. Most of the time, I listen to music at my campus, library and home. I listen to Pop, Slow Rock, Rap, Hip Hop, R&B and Electronic (Taio Cruz and Lady Gaga stuffs). I'm considering PX100. Do you have any...

I need new headphones for my iPod, and it's between these two.   For those of you who have tried both, which one do you prefer? What matters is the sound quality.   I don't care about volume-control or "sound-cancelling" technology, by the way.

first of all, hi i'm just a newbie here and trying to get some answers from you all, that i believe will be the best advisor for me in this matter (so please help me out, guys and lady-guys out there) the thing is, i just want to find portable headphone with following spec: -...

  Hello all!       MY question simply is: are there a pair of full size sub $200 headphones that have a similar sound(warm controlled and powerful bass that slighty shadows mids,and highs) with greater separation and sound stage?  While I like my HD212 pros and my modded JVCs, I really am...

I just purchased a pair of these babies online - they came today and look pretty huge; borderline ridiculously big.   Do people actually wear these as portable headphones?

Well, the name says it all.    I'm not what you might call a real audiophile (point of fact, I'm pretty new to this). Regardless, I'm quite fond of music. And please, God, not that sickening noise you get out a pair of... ugh, Skullcandies.  Honestly, I'd thought that everyone here was...

First off, allow me to bore you with some brief history just so you understand where I'm coming from!   About a year and a half ago I decided it was time to get some quality 'phones. Nothing crazy expensive, but a step up from stock and overpriced stuff that was selling on its brand. I was...

Hey guys,   So, as the title goes, I'm broke. But I do have a $164 gift card to the Apple store. I've been using the Iphone headset as my normal headset for listening to music. But I haven't always been like this I used to have a Vmoda Vibe 1 which were great for bass in a earphone but...

Hello there   There's an interesting promotion on some webshop in Belgium (where I live), 33% off the AKG K450. I currently own a Sennheiser PX100 and I really like it, it's portable, quite sturdy and has a solid bass. I wasn't thinking about upgrading (yet), but because of this deal I...

Hey, I'm new here. So just to let you all know, I'm 13. And anyways, I've been saving my money for my first pair of headphones. And I've looked through this forum, and it seems there are many experienced headphone users. So I figured you guys could help me to decide on my first real pair of...

This is a story of my noobish stumblings through the world of better sound, fitment and headphones in general.   Once upon a time, I bought a Creative Zen MicroPhoto 8GB and realized my stock buds sucked.  I read review upon review and decided I should buy the Sennheiser PX-100 headphones...

Hey guys, I have a pair of Px-100s and I'm looking for another set of headphones to isolate outside noise. Nothing too fancy, just something around $50. I listen to lots of alternative, rock, indie, etc. I want something pretty even all around, strong bass, nothing particular, just good quality...
