I am currently looking for a new set of headphones and have narrowed it down to either the shure 535 or the over ear 940.     Would the cheaper 940 sound better due to the larger drivers or can the 535 really deliver comparable sound.   I currently own the ultimate ears triple 10 and...

The reason I ask is because I see some headphones, usually dj style, and they have a lower frequency range. Yet some of them are more expensive than headphones with a higher frequency range. Why is this? I'm killing myself looking for headphones and I don't know what the hell to do. On one hand...

Has anyone here posted up a comparison?  HD 650s are the best headphones I've heard thus far, but I'm getting intrigued by everything I'm hearing about the SRH940s.

Hi Head-Fis, I've been looking into buying a new set of cans lately and have been impressed with the amount of activity and discussion on this site, so I thought I'd come here for some advice. I'm looking for a pair of headphones that is as honest and transparent as possible at around the $300...

For the 10th time my preference is mid/vocals forward and clear. Good deep bass(not overpowering and doesn't have to be alot of it. I like quality over quantity unless there is almost non in terms of quantity.) Non sibilant or fatiguing highs.  most songs 320kbps and some 256-192kbps.     ...

So I've been looking everywhere and I cant seem to find a general discussion about the "best" portable headphone/ iem that are actually reasonably priced. (If there is one I apologize)   For the most part I would be willing to look into anything, as long as its closed. (Over ear, on ear, in...

Hey all, I love my HD 650s with a Music Streamer II and an E9, but I'm futzing around with Ableton Live and need closed cans or IEMs if I'm going to record vocals... Any suggestions?

Rather than buying another headphone, I'm wondering if getting a better amp for my HD 650 would be better.   Right now I have an NFB-12, which I understand has a good DAC, but lackluster amp? I have a few questions:   1) Is it possible to have an amp that is somewhat brighter than the...

I'm a budding audiophile whom is new to Head-Fi so go easy on me. I have a pair of Shure SRH940 headphones and recently picked up this Presonus HP4 headphone amp from a buddy of mine, if i hit the mono button it gets louder but seems to have less depth as far are the sound goes, almost like its...

I am replacing some aging audiotechnica A900s that I bought around Christmas of 2005.  My source is an Edirol ua-25.   Overall, the A900 was a great headphone and great introduction to the audiophile world.  I have no regrets buying it and have recommended it to other people looking for...

I just purchased a pair of Beyerdynamics DT880 250ohms. I like the sound much more than my Sennheiser 598. Now, I purpusly bought the 250 ohms because I read that it is still easy to power with an mid grad receiver, but it sounds a little veiled. I like the highs and the bass is there, but I...

My current ones: http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-ANC7-ATHANC7-Noise-cancelling-Headphones/dp/B000OMKR8E/ref=pd_sim_e_4   Ones I'm looking at: http://www.amazon.com/Skullcandy-Nation-Aviator-Over-Ear-Headphones/dp/B003YL3L9Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316046779&sr=1-1  ...

I am about to pull the trigger on the Shure 940's, but I am wondering if they would sound good with music genres such as movie themes. I listen to alot of John Williams, Hans Zimmer, etc. Would the Shure 940's sound good with that kind of genre. If not, then which headphones in the 300 price...

Hello peeps I have 2 high-end headphones, the Sennheiser HD 598s which I've had for about a month and the Shure SRH 940s which I just got a couple of days ago. My music collection is mostly mp3s encoded in 192 - 320 kbps and 256kbps purchased AACs from the iTunes store, but I think I'm going...

hi can you please from your experience give me a set of headphones that give different sound signature  , but only the best  of them under the 300dollar . what i mean i want to have a full set of so different headphones that are sound different but also good so it fit all people taste  , if...

Alright so it seems that the M50s are just not for me. Having had them since june, i see that they dont have enough mids and too much bass for my liking even with Equ. It gets too loud that ill lose my hearing or its too low and the vocals/ detail wont come out. So i will make a preference list...

I think this could be the wrong section, but I don't know. Does anyone know of any headphone stores in Southern California, specifically Orange County? The closest Guitar Center doesn't allow people to test headphones and they're only on display for people to see how they feel. That and...

I'm looking for a pair of Headphones to partner my Graham Slee Ultra Linier Amp ,Anyone know what  Beyer Dynamic DT 880 , Audio Technica ATH AD700  would be like.I have Sennheiser HD 650. Thanks.

So I am somewhat new to audiophile equipment though I have a basic understanding. I was hoping to start purchasing some gear. Currently I am looking at AKG 701s because I have heard nothing but good things. My question is are these the right headphones for me? Also what amp should I buy to drive...

I've had my HF-2s for a while now, and they're still my favourite headphone. Smooth top end, amazing bass, mids are alive and fun.   I have K1000s, though I'm not sure I'm keeping them. Funding an amp is proving to be a challenge. However, I'm possibly looking for a set of cans that will...

He decided on the Shure SRH940 in the end and has become quite impressed with them. More details below.   The topic pretty much sums it up. He thought about buying Beats, but this is where I can point him toward something better with your help. Unfortunately, I'm not too knowledgeable myself...

I'm using a reverb effect with my srh940, and I found it improves the experience in many areas (so much for a single dsp effect...). It's not that the srh940 are not enjoyable without the reverb, but I  found the sound more neutral & relaxing & with increased soundstage. Every time I tried to...

Pretty self explanatory, but just to be clear: I love my HD598, but I'm not done buying headphones if you know what I mean. I've come close to pulling the trigger on the HE-300, but I'm sort of bugged by the cable and the whole ear pad thing. I know that I could just move on up the Sennheiser...

I am a student. English is my second language. I need a pair of headphones that will be able to give me very clear sound from lecture recordings, without any damage to my ears. I don't listen to music much, so music quality is not important. Only thing I care about is clarity for speaking words...
