Im look for new headphones and have narrowed it down to these three can anyone give me a direct comparison between them they will mainly be used for metal, punk etc. i know the akgs are semi open so will be slightly different. They will be used indoors as i already have portables. for them...

I've had my Sennheiser HD428's for a while and I think the SQ on them is pretty good, I modded them for more bass and they sound pretty damn good to me. I listen to mostly dubstep, DnB, and rap, some alternative, pretty much a little of everything. Just yesterday I ordered a pair of Superlux...

Okay, I am new here, lol. Anyways, I am stuck between the Shure SRH440's and the ATH-M50's and the ATH-A700's. I am 16, about to turn 17 in two months and want a new set of cans. Yes, I am barely an adult, but I have been looking at a new pair of headphones for at least a month now. Now I have...

I have been reading head-fi reviews and forums for quite some time now. I am planning on buying full sized headphone around the $100-150 mark.   Here's what I mostly listen to - www.last.fm/user/adityashevade Apart from what is there - I also listen to classical (both western and Indian) a...

Hi, I recently joined and well just like others i need opinions and such for brand new headphones. I need something that sounds great all-around without a DAC/AMP if possible. As well I will generally will be using this at home, but in the odd times for portable usage. I listen to rock...

hello all. i have noticed while being on these forums that headphones like the grado sr60, shure srh440/srh840, and audio technica ath m50/ ath ad7000 etc are all praised as being bang for the buck and better then headphones costing so much more money. i really think this is a little strange...

Hey y'all,   I'm new to the headphone business so I was just wondering if anyone could give me some tips. I'm looking for over-the-ear/around-the-ear headphones for an all around purpose. Right now I'm using Sony MDR-NC7 headphones and I really want to upgrade (these things kill my ears)...

Here's the deal I got a pair of Shure 440's two years ago without knowing anything about headphones. Came from Apples s***** IEM. I've really liked the 440's but theres a few drawbacks I don't like. -There heavy -The cord is super long -They hurt my head after about an hour or so. The band...

Hello,   I recently found myself wishing for a decent pair of headphones. Unfortunately, I am more ignorant on the subject than I would like to be.   I am looking for a pair in the $100 range. I prefer neutral/natural sound to an "equalized to sound like ...." sound. I recently bought a...

I listen to around 80% Hip hop and 20& rock

I'm new to these forums, but a buddy of mine visits this site every day and referred me here. I am about to go to college and want some headphones. The max I want to spend is $150, but preferably want to spend around $100 (or less ).   Uses: - Music. I don't need 100% perfect sound...

I'm a bit of a noob, and I'm looking for my first pair of decent cans...unfortunately my budget's rather low. I would have gotten the Grado SR60i's but having sound leaked outside is going to be a problem :/ can anyone recommend a good pair of closed-back headphones under $100? Thanks!

      I already posted this question in this thread, but it doesn't seem to get as much love as all the other threads (which I can understand), so I decided to created a new thread. If I'm woefully out of line, please tell and I'd happily close this thread :)   Anyway, I'm 'in...

Hello head-fi!   I've been a long time lurker, as mostly I've gotten headphone advice from my brother who is a regular here. First post of mine though, hope I don't clutter up the place (the thread that was supposed to consolidate questions seems dead).   I'm looking to upgrade from my...

Another newbie looking for headphone advice; I apologize for making a new thread instead of posting in the "buying headphones" thread but I figured this has enough specifics and details to warrant a separate thread...plus it seems like this would just get lost in the sea of replies if posted...

I swear, there was a consolidated recommendation thread somewhere when I was still lurking. In any case, I cannot find it.    Anyway, I need some recommendations to be thrown around for headphones around US$100. I can exceed it by a reasonable amount. Looked at the other thread with...

 I was looking into buying new headphones. I used to have some crappy Sonys that I got for like 10 bucks but now I feel like upgrading. It'd be great to get some suggestions for first headphones. I mostly listen to music with heavy bass such as Rap and Dubstep, but I don't want everything else...

Hello.   The title of the thread is maybe not the right one,but that the thing i am looking for most.I bought a pair of Sony MDR-V6 and i really love the sound,but i feel them a little bit uncomfortable after hour listening.They "give" me the sound i want and the way i want to hear it,but...

Hello everyone. I'm aware there's a big thread regarding recommendations, etc. but I don't know if I would get more replies there than on a stand-alone thread... anyway...   My home headphones are on their last breath and I'm looking to replace those at home with the ones I use every day...

So i got the Sony MDR NC7's for christmas  about 2-3 years ago, and basically I've been replacing bits of it over the last few years, the only part of it thats still from the original pair is the actual speakers and a few parts of the wire, the rest is other pieces of headphones and burnt...

Are there any devices that exist that I could use to temporarily close off my headphones? I like the open sound 90% of the time, but i'd love to be able to seal them off temporarily the other 10%.

  I wanted to make this thread for a long time (at least for 3 days now). And I couldn't find similar one so here we go:   Different brands have different sounds (everyone who has Grados will know). So my question is this: Which headphones represent the best qualities of each brand (or...

I'm on the verge of buying a new pair of headphones and I have to choose in between the SRH-440s and the HD-428 the HD-438s are also available but I haven't really heard about them

Hello - headphone newb here.    I just bought the SRH440s a few days ago and started burning them in.  At this point I'm about 35hrs in, and I've noticed that the sound signature of the cans have changed quite drastically.    For burning in, I played my playlist of mostly rock music at a...
