About myself: http://www.head-fi.org/t/674373/story-of-a-new-reviewer-kimvictor   So here it is. My review of recent full size HPs that I owned/own. Although I feel like SRH840 should be in there instead of 940 as the price difference is big, I don't have a 840.   Disclaimer: I do not own...

Hi there I'm back and this time I have a long list of headphones to choose from.... The list is: Sennheiser Momentum Shure SRH 940 Shure SRH840 Sennheiser HD-518 Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro AUDIO TECHNICA ATH PRO700 mk2 Sennheiser HD 449 Audio-Technica ATH-M50S UE 4000 UE...

Hi, the price of Shure  SRH940 and Sennheiser Amperior are very close on Amazon and I hesitate with which one I should buy. Is there anyone can describe the difference of the sound? Right now I use my ipod classic and laptop to listen music with my dtx60 in ear. My k450 is broken now. But I...

Hey Everyone, I'm looking for, you guessed it, soundstage. I'm looking for a slightly portable headphone that has a great soundstage for my jazz music. I'd also like it to be $200 or less and be comfortable enough to where for a 5 hour road trip. I'd also prefer not to disturb my neighbors so...

Hey Everyone, I'm trying to compare the Shure SRH 940 to the Audio Technica ATH 900. Here's what I'm looking for: I am looking for a closed or noise canceling headphone system that is good for mainly jazz but won't torch the few songs of classic/modern rock that I have in my library. I DO...

Hi, I am looking at buying some headphones purely for mixing at home. I have been searching the forums constantly trying to find an answer, but haven't been able to make a definitive decision on a pair. I know it's all personal preference, but I just wanted to see what the most recommended...

could you please make a list of your top five closed can head phones . mainly for pop , rnb. hip hop , rap and some trance . looking for more sound quality then excess bass

Hi guys,   I recently bought a pair of Shure 940s and whilst I love how detailed they are I feel they are lacking bass impact. I figured I'd buy a pair of headphones that have more powerful punchy bass to compensate for the deficit in the 940s. After doing some research I have honed in on...

So, I'm going to look at headphones today, and for metal and rock this forum seems to give a lot of love to the HD 25-1 ii. Now, I WAS going to go with Grado Labs, but I was not very happy when I heard them and I realized how little they block out sound. They don't even try, and I plan to use...

I need to get a pair of headphones. After much research on this site and others, I almost feel even more confused (perhaps not surprising because sound is so subjective), but I'm going to post asking for your opinions anyways. These headphones are going to be used for music listening only (and...

Hi there.   Okay i used to be quite in the loop with headphones but a bad experience with some AKG K518's put me off buying new headphones and just sticking with my PX100's for awhile.   I must of had my PX100's for over 5 years now and they've been a great set of phones for me, but i...

I am new to the whole high quality headphones , yet I am very excited to get into this world and potentially be an audiophile. My first purchase was the Superlux HD 681's, which I like very much. I plan on slowly increasing my collection of hi fi headphones.     So my question comes in, I...

I'm a new university student studying music tech and i would like to have some headphones to record in a studio and to use them to mix and produce. I appreciate detail and depth a lot, a reasonable balance, soundstage and i'm new to over the ear headphones. I've only really used earphones, and...

I am currently searching for what will be my 2nd pair of headphones. I currently have the AKG K242 so I am looking for a bassy closed can to compliment it. I want to know it the 940's are bassy, or ever bassier than the Sony mdr 1r as they are the other cans i am looking at.   thanks in advance

Hey there, I'm trying to find the perfect headphones for me, and so far I have narrowed my options to these two cans: the AKG K 271 MK II and the Shure SHR940. I've already seen the unboxings and the features of both headphones on youtube, so I only need you to explain me the differences...

rules as follows 1 got to be indistructable (well at least as close as possible) 2 got to have different drivers 3 got to be full sized closed cans lets find these hard headphones who think they're strong enough n.b. no tests will actually be done on them

I'm a guitarist who uses a Kemper Profiling Amp to generate my sounds.  Without going into the technical details, it mimics the sound of guitar amps and FX, which I then send to a QSC K10 monitor for amplification when playing live with my band.  I've been using Shure SRH940 headphones when...

I've been looking at the Shure SRH940 and the KRK KNS 8400 - but I've read soundonsound reviews of both of them which said that they've both got great mid-range response and ok (not bad by any means, but not stand-out) treble. I've heard similar things said of the AKG K272 HD and 271.  ...

I've been doing research, but seeing as how this will be my first step into higher-end headphones I thought I'd post. I've never heard open headphones before and to my knowledge there aren't any places local to Birmingham, AL for me to audition headphones in general. There's a local Guitar...

I am looking for: best mids for under $300, Open, over-the-ear full size headphone - to use at basement home office. Looking for soundstage and separation.   I have not yet experienced bass detail, nor airiness - curious about these characteristics.   I thought I had wanted treble...

I'm a high school student looking for a pair of over-ear headphones that will be used when I'm on the way to school, in library, when I'm traveling, and studying.    Basically my point is ... -Over-ear, prefer detachable cords and not too long -Not too ugly looking, and closed back...

Are there are any mid centric headphones under $300, and can be powered relatively easily? Here are some requirements: Open or Closed Good Soundstage Details Mid-Upper or Lower Comfort I already have srh940, which I love, but I also want to test others. Thanks!

Hello all,   Based on all the great reviews about the clarity of the Shure 940's I overlooked the comments about build quality and purchased them. I figured that the "cheap plastic" wouldn't be a concern for me since I'm generally easy on my stuff and it had the nice hard case included. Well...

Looking for some closed headphones that are over the ear, VERY comfy, good build quality and dont leak too much sound. Dont mind if they let sound in, but as long as I can listen to them at a decent volume and people dont get too irritated around me, its fine. I listen to mostly electro house...

    Hello all, I'm making a decision between the 225i and the 325is and I'm turning to Head-Fi for some valuable input~   I have a fondness for the higher frequencies. I don't shy away from them, especially when I'm in the mood for brassy jazz and especially electronica, where (timely)...
