Hey all,   I currently listen to the SR80is and really enjoy them quite a bit.  For a few reasons, I've been wanting to try something else out.   The open-ear Grados work well at home when I can go into a quiet room and listen to music, but still hear my wife yelling for me when needed...

about 4 days ago I received my Shure SRH940. I love the detail, but I don't think it is that great for the music I listen to. I listen to hard rock/metal. I feel like the instruments are all together, and its hard to differentiate sometimes. Also, I think that the vocals seem far away, with the...

I'm going to try and keep this short and simple.     I had james mcprogger ask me to compare these a month ago.       Lets begin   The shure srh 940 These are meh, the vocals sound atrocious. Every thing else sounds great however. They are great for rock and metal due to the...

I'm looking at moving a step up from my beloved M50s. I listen to mostly lossless Classical, but also enjoy Jazz and heavy vocals.   I don't mind loosing a bit of bass, but hopefully not too much. Contrary to what I've read many say I do thing good bass is important for acoustic music...

Hi everyone;    I've been looking around for sometime at the internet to buy a good pair of closed cans. I narrowed down to these four. Mostly I listen to power metal, symphonic metal, folk, gothic metal. Groups like Epica, Kamelot, Avantasia, Rhapsody, Firewind... I'd appreciate if you...

Hey guys, I would really like to buy a second pair of headphones for the studio.  I appreciate that open cans sound better in general but I really need to stick to closed or semi open (minimal leakage) cans as they are primarily used when I can't use my monitors for mixing and for tracking.  ...

okay so im planning on buying the shure srh 940 very soon and  currently have a asus xonar d2x soundcard. i am looking for an amp around 100$.... any suggestions? would there be much of a difference if i had one?

I'm looking for a good pair of portable full-sized headphones for use mainly at school, and vacations and the like.  but also occasionally for generally going out.  Under most circumstances I would probably be using them from a Fiio E7 from one of my laptops, but from time to time they may be...

Caveat: I like the stock 940 but understand why many have issues with the FR ( I have same issues after about an hour).  If you are one of those, here's a simple 5 minute mod that will transform your 940. I didn't post pics because it's easy to explain and I don't want to touch my 940 again.  ...

I have 940 on hand. I like mid and high but I think it not enough bass for me. So I need more big bass than this .. (mid and high it's ok for me)   I consider ATH-ES10. Can any compare this 2 model (940 vs ES10) in bass part for meplease ? or if you have another brand or model Please let me...

Hello All,   I have been browsing this forum for about a month, and only joined about 5 minutes ago :). I am looking for a pair of over-ear closed headphones (~ $300 range). I currently have a nurforce udac with my desktop pc at home, however these headphones will be used both at home (with...

Hey peeps,   Which one of the three headphones in the title should I buy? I listen to basically all genres, but I want bass. I want great clarity and great bass. I am going to use my headphones unamped through a MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPod. Which one should I buy? Any other recommendations...

i already posted this in the portable section, but as there are mostly iem lovers reading, i give it a try in this section: hi, i love my remolded tf10, srh940 and akg k701 because of the following: -very dry and fast bass, that has just the right amount of quantity - quite analytical...

which one do you think will suit me better if i plan to use it as a portable full sized headphone? good thing about t50rp is its significantly cheaper but is it inferior in performance? and how about portability? because i do plan to buy one headphone for portable use and stop buying audio...

I am torn. I was set on the SRH-940's, but then I started to read about the DT880's (250 and the 600). I will mainly use these headphones on my ipod, unamped, while I travel (on airplanes). I listen to 95% rock music (Foo Fighters, Pink Floyd, etc).    The fact that the DT880's are semi-open...

Hello,   How many people here on this board have multiple headphones? I was thinking of getting a second pair to complement my Shure 940s, maybe an open pair. What would be a good second pair to get?   Thanks!   CB

Hello,   Does anyone know of replacement upgrade cables for the Shure SRH440 & SRH940?   Thanks!   CB

I bought a set of these as I was looking to Upgrade from my SRH-440's.   Seemed like a great price, and thought I'd share it.   http://www.ebay.com/itm/350664053506?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649     EDIT: Seems someone made a mistake when they listed these and...

I'm looking for closed back headphones (I know the M-80 aren't but I've heard they don't leak noise) which I can use on my way to Uni and in the Library my budget is £250 and I've narrowed it down to these, I'll prob be buying after the M-100's come out but for now just seeing what my options...

Hi, I want to ask you about Beyer DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm and Shure940.(with Fiio E17) I want to use it for monitoring and recording. Which one would you recommend me? Which one has better sound quality? Thank you

I am completely new to the high(er) end audio scene even though I have had these headphones since they launched. I have recently rebuilt my PC and want to make sure I am getting the best audio I can from this setup. After researching a LOT on this site I have found I am still completely lost on...
