I've searched around for an answer to this question, and didn't quite find anything.   I'm looking for very durable headphones. I would consider headphones with non-neutral sounds, but I prefer neutrality. I'm willing to spend $300, or perhaps more if I can be persuaded by a particularly...

Hi everyone,   A couple of years ago I used this forum to great effect in settling on the Shure SRH 240 headphones and I have loved them, but sadly the cord started to give up yesterday and I am now in the market for a new set of headphones for use listening to music on my laptop at home as...

Hey, I've lurking for a short time, trying to choose my first closed headphones.   Current and past headphones: I currently own pretty cheap Creative in-earbuds and I owned Sennheiser H555 (modded). I quite liked the 555 but since they were open I couldn't use them as often as I would have...

Well my lil sis has been looking for sexy closed higher end (mid fi) headphones for a few months. I've given her some suggestions like AKG's, but she says it's too expensive, so I'm just going to buy something for her birthday next month. She really is looking for something sophisticated I...

Hello, Head-Fi folks! So, the last post I made, I was considering stepping things up, but life happened, money was gone and everything sucked. Since then, though, I've toyed around with demo headphones in Best Buy and other stores to find that my love of heavy bass was fading. I found myself...
