I'm 98% sure I want to get these headphones. I already have a pair of Senn HD595s that I've had for some time now, I just want a nice pair of closed cans. Now my question: I use my cell phone (Droid X) to listen to music since my iPod died on me (I have to send it in still). In the meantime...

Hey im new here, and im kinda new to hifi headphones in general, although ive done a lot of research. I'm looking for some good, closed headphones for around 300$. I have a pretty eclectic taste in music, but i am really into house/dubstep/electro, but also a lot of indie stuff. Here are the...

Budget:$300   I'm getting the Fiio E11 as an amp Music: Pop/Rock(Lossless)   Please recommend me a Circumaural can. I don't mind them if they were opened or closed but i need them to be large and comfortable.   Currently looking at the Shure SRH940. Any better recommendations?

Long time IEM user now switching over to the Darkside hehehe... Honestly i dont know why i havent purchased a high end Headphone yet... but now im pretty determined! I've been doing some research here and there and found some "interesting" options. AKG K701 AKG Q701 Denon D2000 Senn...

So, my BB has all the usual suspects, they have a few decent pairs of Sonys, the bottom end Sennheisers, and the headphones available to sample are Beats (all of them), and a pair of skullcandys. However, the back of the local Best Buy also has an "Instrument Center," or something like that...

Hello Head-fi!   Any office workers out there? I've recently moved to a pretty small office where wearing my lovely Audio Technica ATH-AD700s is no longer an option due to the noise leakage, but neither is isolating myself from the rest of the world with a set of IEMs. I was wearing some...

Hi evreyone! My name is Juan Carlos, i am from Costa Rica and i am 15 years old! I am looking for a good set of headphones for under 400 dollars or maybe 500...I am interested in two particular brands, Grado Labs and AKG.   I like to listen to Rock like Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd...

I'm hoping I can get some opinions on which headphone I should go with, the AKG K701 or the Denon AH D-2000. The most important qualities to me are a big soundstage and clarity, and the top three genre's of music I listen to are folk, indie and rock. I will be driving them with the Headroom...

Pretty simple question right now. Just need some advice.    I'm pretty young and I can't afford much. I've just managed to save up to $250 Canadian, which is pretty big for me because that's the starting point of most affordable/budget headphone amps/ headphones. Right now all I have for...

just wondering peoples preferences :) i like my xb500's cant wait for my xb700's in the mail

Futureshop (retail store) is currently having a sale (click here) on some head phones and IEM's. I am in desperate need of a headphone because recently I bought a Digital Piano (Yamaha P155) and the stock speakers are just plain crap. I was thinking of investing on KRK monitors but decided to go...

Hello to everybody.   First, a little back-ground, and a better description of what I am looking for.   I usually listen to this kind of music in Churches in the NYC region. I have suffered a racing accident in Portugal, and am currently, and for the next month, or so, tied to a bed...

Thanks a lot guys..   What is the peak of clarity I can get on vocals alone btw..like what budget that would require? (The area of central speaker in the head-phone)

I love both of my  Triplefi 10 and grado sr125i but they sound so different. I know i can't compare IEMs with almost full-size  headphones but they're just not normal differences between in-ear and open back headphones. Their signature sounds were like cyclops and batman. According to my ears...

I am looking for a recommendation for a closed headphone under 300 dollars (or so) that is good for rock and has a very forward sound stage. I recently bought a pair of Grado SR 225i's and thought they were too "thin" sounding and lacked low end. However, I did like their upfront sound stage and...

Which headphones should I get???   I listen to Rock, Metal, Rap, and Hip Hop Love Bass, but accurate, non flat Bass   Also should I get a FiiO E5 (or other, if so please specify) Amp I need the amp to be just as, or more, portable and cheap

Just yesterday I used my headphones to watch The Book of Eli on my laptop and I was astounded by the detail of all the sound effects they put into the movie. Like when he first uses his iPod, you can actually hear the hard drive turn on. Now I feel like I have to watch all of my movies again...

Right...   I'm after a Portable / Full Size set of Headphones for my iPhones. Ideally they will be full sized /closed back, as they will be for use in the office and around town.   MUST have BIG bass as I listen to Drum and Bass, electronic etc. Bass must be controlled though, not sloppy...

Hello everyone,   So I bought the HD555 headphones about a year ago, and now i'm considering to upgrade them to a higher end model while at the same time buying a new sound card, which is Asus Xonar Essence ST and use it instead of my current on-board card as i'm probably not going to buy an...

I bought the Shure SRH840's in March of this year. I broke them a couple of weeks ago, because I was an idiot. I'm now in a situation where i'm either going to buy the 840's again, or buy a different pair. I thought the 840's were incredible...but what would be considered an upgrade from these...

I listen to hip hop, rap, soul, and dubstep. I also produce hip hop music and I was looking for a pair of headphones with good sound quality under $300. Any help is appreciated.

Are there any closed headphones that have a grado like sound?

First and foremost: Great forums. These are a great resource, and I appreciate everything the users here are and continue to do.   I've been looking for a pair of comfortable headphones that can do double-duty as a primary listening device at home and secondarily for travel. Here's what...
