Hi, I'm choosing closed full-size headphones, mainly for movies, secondarily for music. I can't say if I'm basshead or not, but I want to feel when bomb booms. But simultaneously I'd like to hear large sound stage. So I expect some compromise is necessary. Also I want isolation, datailed sound...

I haven't posted here in some time.  I originally got help on buying headphones and got a pair of sweet AKG's that were awesome until they were stolen.  Then opted for the Kicker HP541's on a whim, and they were actually better sounding then the AKG's and cost less.  So now nearly two years...

Hey boys and girls of the sonic universe! As the title states im in the need of your assistance. I'm going to buy a pair of phones, that much is settled. The thing is im very uncertain of what pair. I'm looking for pair of high quality phones in the range between like a hundred and two...

I love my HD580s, but on some types of music (metal and rock mainly, trance already sounds good in the HD580), they lack some excitement.  I am looking for something to compliment them for these genres.  I do not want huge amounts of bass, but something a little more than the HD580 and a very...

Hi there   Recently I have started listening to a lot of music in my living room, either from my laptop or else from my iPod Classic.  I currently use a set of AKG K480 NC (with the NC swiitched off) plugged straight into the source, but I would like to upgrade to something better, plus a...

After reading extrabigmehdi's review on the Shure SRH940 [http://www.head-fi.org/products/shure-srh-940/reviews/5994], I got a great idea for a reversible pad modification, based on the idea of space between the outside of the ear and the mesh on the inside of the earcup. Basically it consists...

I have a budget of $200. Cant be extended much higher than $220. I listen to ONLY rock music. I want the vocals to really pop out, like the singers mouth is 12 inches from my ear. Open/closed does not matter, nor does circumaural/supraural. Also, I have a FiiO E7 amp/dac.

Thought I would start a thread where we can talk about our favorite headphones at the moment and what source we use them with.   Here is mine:   Shure SRH-940 with FiiO E11 through iMac headphone output. Thinking of getting a Burson Audio HA-160DS or Musical Fidelity M1 DAC and Musical...

Hey I am getting my Shure SRH940 in the mail next week and want to get an amp next to help the SQ even more. i would like to spend below $50 but if you can convince me to spend more... then I  might.  I was looking at either the FiiO E6 or a cMoy. Probably the cMoy, people say its even better...

Hi guys, I feel somewhat uneasy to actually post here since i'm quite far from being an audiophile, neither a DJ or Audio Professional. so I don't really know all those technological terms, and probably don't have an analytical ear either. However I am an avid music listener and do appreciate...

Are Shure SRH940 the best closed headphones for that price range?

I've had a pair of Denon AH-D1001 for almost three years now. They are my first pair of headphones costing more than about $20. I've been using them without an amp. They've revolutionized the way I listen to and appreciate music. However, they have taken some bumps over the years, due in part to...

Hello all. I have been here for nearly a year now and i finally have decided to go past the $200 mark and get some really good cans. I am looking at the shure srh940 because i have had good luck with shure customer service, the Sennheiser hd 25 1 ii adidas because they are supposed to be great...

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/siemonsen/ I used last weekend to make a little dogfight between the new and closed full-size Shure SRH 940 top of the line studio monitor and the open, laidback  sounding classicSennheiser HD 650.  The Shure is an 42 Ohm can, which means it´s more...

That's pretty damming...What are the major percieved 'weaknesses' of this headphone? Is it considered more bass-anaemic than the model it superceeded - the SRH840? Funny how that headphone got 4.5 stars...              

Okay so I'm looking for some new headphones; They have to be closed over my ears. Price under $250 Able to drive sound from an iPhone Stay on my head (I'll be working out with these on) Durable. The types of music I listen to is Trance and Hip Hop. I listen to all other types of...

Anyone own both the SRH940 and the MS1i, how does the two compare? Other than the obvious enhanced details and sonic extension of the SRH940, how similar or different are they in presentation of the freq range, imagining, sound stage, separation, speed....?

So i recently purchased a pair of ultrasone pro 900s and at first I really liked them, but I've been having this nagging problem that the midrange is way to recessed and I'm thinking that maybe I should try a different set of cans now. I absolute love the detail in the pro 900s and the mid bass...

(First, i would like to apologise for my english skills, as i'm not a native english speaking ) I'll take some lines to present my situation : better you know me, better you answer :)   Context : I'm looking for a nice pair of closed circum-aural cans with a 200€ max budget. It has to be...

Hey guys,   I'm planning on getting one of these headphones and was hoping for some help:   HD800 vs HD650 vs Q701 vs SRH940   Was wondering how the bass of them all compare to eachother? For open backs, I'm using the HD558's right now and it's got the least amount of bass among all...

I just moved to the United States for studies and would like to buy portable headphones to use with my computer and media player because I will be at campus all day long. My budget is 200$ and could stretch a bit for something a lot better, I could also give less for something bang for the buck...

I personally think the extra detail and super clear/extended highs make up for the slight lack of bass (Which isn't as apparent with decent amplification),

I want to buy a pair of headphones soon, but I want to make sure I get the right pair.  Does anyone know of a store that sells and allows you to "demo" the headphones.  Like, for example, at Best Buy, they have headphones out that you can plug your MP3 player into and listen to them.  I want to...

I'm currently using my Shure SRH940's with a Hifiman HM601 and enjoy it, but may be in a position soon where I can make a significant upgrade.   I generally prefer full-sized cans, especially with Winter coming, but I guess I'm wondering if the JH13 Pros perform better than the Edition 8's...
