I just purchased the SRH440 off a price match deal from Sam Ash ($67 after tax. Sweet!).  Overall, I'm content with the sound given the price I paid but there are two complaints I have about these cans.   1. Comfort.  I have relatively big ears, and the pads are very shallow.  When using...

Hey, After researching and researching and reading this forum a bunch, I've managed to only confuse myself more.   I am looking for a good pair of closed cans that will both insulate me from the outside world and insulate my roommate from my music substantially. I will be listening to...

I recently purchased a pair of Sony MDR-V6 and I love them except for the looong coiled cable.  I just received a pair of Shure SRH-440s - the cable is removable and a straight cable is available.  They sound just as good but they are a little big and heavy compared to the Sony's.  I need...

So, my grandma randomly decides to give me 100 bucks. Immediately I think about getting new headphones. I currently own the HD 201's and the AKG K81 DJ's for portability.   I specifically listen to Dance/Electronic music such as drum and bass, trance, happy hardcore, hardstyle, dubstep...

Loads of closed backs have a really consumer orientated bass driven sound - is there anything out there that swims against the stream and does a good treble-happy, bass-lite analytical sound signature?   I've heard the AKG K271 MK. II btw, and that isn't to my tastes!!   Thanks in advance

Currently, I own shure srh4400, and want to upgrade. is it denon ah-d1100 a decent upgrade? how would you compare these 2 headphones?    my budget is around $150-$250 maybe any other alternatives? I'm not a basshead, listening to some alternative, jazz, blues, and pop-rock (no hip hop and...

Hey Guys, I am looking for some good headphones that i can hook to my Laptop and my iPod. I would prefer one with a coil cord as i have broke a few pairs from the cord snagging. Literally just broke my Skullcandy Skullcrushers. I know skullcandies suck but they were a gift to me and i have...

Hi, I'm new and i'm looking to purchase my first decent pair of headphones. Just looking for something really good to use with my current old school Marantz receiver and CD player while relaxing on my couch and will also likely use them occasionally with my Ipod. They don't need to be...

I have never owned a more than $20 pair of headphones.  The last set I bought were some Phillips earbuds that were ok.  I went on vacation and was going to be taking a long plane ride and I finally broke down and purchased a decent set of earbuds.  I bought the Sennheiser CX 475 earbuds from...

I'm looking into buying some headphones, I'm having trouble narrowing them down, and I'm seeking advice.    Right now, I would mostly use them to listen to music, but I would like to be able to use them for gaming and movies, as well. I listen to a wide variety of music - I consider myself a...

I need help from you pros out there I'm planning on buying myself a good pair of headphones and I'm stuck in between the ATH-SJ3 or the HD-428 If you want to suggest something else in the same price range then sure

Wow!!!!   Just got my KSC75s this morning from Amazon. I've been reading so many rave reviews the past few days that I was really expecting a lot from these little $14 headphones. It didn't seem there was any way they could live up to my expectations.   But they absolutely do! As many...

I have been trying out the Sony MDR-V6 for a week now and I like them a lot but can't stand the coiled cable.  Is the Shure SRH440 a comparable option - with the replacement straight cable?   Or is there another option I should consider?  I've read that the SRH440 really needs an amp and...

As much as I love open back headphones such as the Grados, I was wondering what some good closed back headphones are. The more I look, the more it seems as though most headphones are open. I am looking for some good sounding closed back headphones that would be suitable for any types of music...

Which headphones have more bass? Because I was using my turtle beach's and they had so much bass they were like the subwoofer's on my friends Skull Candy Skullcrushers.   However I do not like quality on either. So I was wondering how much the bass compared to the HFI-580? Anybody know?  

I currently have the HD 201's. They are pretty decent quality but I would like to upgrade my sound. New headphones would cost me about $100, but I heard an amp really improves the sound quality of the 201's, so I could get a E3 amp for $13 and save some money.   What do you guys think?

Hello all,   I'm a lifelong audiophile with a deep love of music.  Until last year I listened exclusively to a full blown 2 channel hifi rig.  But last year I lost my lucrative job and had to move across the country to find work.  No place for my hifi in the new digs so I turned to...

So im looking to buy new headphones after my Sony MDR-NC7s broke. I was looking at the sennheiser hd 280 pros and the shure SRH 240 and 440s. Im a bass head, so thats kinda important, but overall sound quality is too, so i dont want to get skullcandies. some one also referred me to the AKG K...

I have narrowed my selection down to these three, with a $100 budget. The headphones will be used 8 hours a day. For radio/podcasting and gaming/music in the evening. I would have checked out Sennheiser and Audio Technica, but as I previously said, the markup in Canada is atrocious.   I am...

Just got a pair of Sony MDR-V6... love them except for the coiled cable.  I think they will be bulky if using the headphones for portability, and I expect they would get tangled in the bag.   My next option to try was the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 but at $150 it's double the price.   What...

I currently have the following equipment which I use to listen to music both at home and while travelling: -iPhone 3GS -Ultimate Ears UE700 -Music: downloaded from iTunes or ripped from cd's. What I want is to have better audio quality. The main complaints I have with my current setup are...

Like the title?   Thank you for reading, wonderful forum members. I've been lurking for a while but just now made an account to ask a question:   I need some fairly good closed back, sound isolating headphones. Then should be fairly comfortable and durable.     I have a lot of hard...

I've had lots of recomendations of the HFi 580's, but I'm still not convinced what's so good about them.  I listen to rock, rap, hip hop and pop.  I'm looking around the range of 200-250 and the headphones have to sound good on a portable media player like the Cowon J3.  Also noise cancelation...

So I have never owned a "good" pair of headphones before and finally decided that I would go for some. I've browsed the site and the buying guide but i'm haveing a hard time finding any prices that match Canadian prices well. So can anyone suggest me some headphones in the 120-150$CAN Range...

I recently purchased the Shure SRH440 and wanted to compare them to my friend’s Audio Technica’s ATH-M50 - since they both get recommended around here for studio and listening headphones for around $100. Street price on the ATs is a little higher than the Shures (or up to double of the Shures -...
