I had the ATH-M50s for 2 years. I loved them, but had to give them away so i'm looking for a new pair of cans. I listen mainly to hip-hop, rap, and lots of electronica, no amp and straight from my laptop or iPod Touch.    I'm looking for another pair of cans around ~$100 that can rival the...

Alright, so first let me just say up until a few weeks ago I had basically no previous knowledge of headphones until I found this site and did some reading. I knew I wanted some full sized headphones that sounded better than what I have now and was prepared to spend $150 or more. All I had...

After doing a lot of research and going over the huge "BASS IMPACT" thread, it seems to be a common opinion that the Sony XB500's have the most bass impact (kick/punch) for an unamped portable.  Is there anyone who has heard it and disagrees?  If so, what other similarly priced pair has more...

This is perhaps the golden question for me. I am at the cusp of getting one or the other. The Shure has the advantage of being one-sided in the cable, I really like that. It's also cheaper than what I can get the WS70 for. Other than that though I don't know which will sound better for me...

I have been doing a lot of research on here and pm'ing a lot of users on their experiences. I am looking for a good set of closed headphones for hip-hop/rap. If they happen to work well with other types like rock even better but not necessary as I love my 880/600 for that. As far as amps go I am...

I've been searching around for a new pair of headphones for the past 2 days, read reviews, watched videos and read a ton of threads on here but I've come to a point where I'm just confused on what to buy so I would be very grateful if you could point me in the right direction. -I mainly...

I just got 750dj today for 180AUD and the sound is quite clear and crisp as I expected. However, my friend offer me a pair of Dr. Dre monster studio second hand for only 300AUD which, the actual price is 499AUD. Besides, my 750dj's sound from laptop is very bad compared with an ipod. I heard...

Hey, I'm going to futureshop soon, and I wanna get new headphones, and the Skullcandy GI headphones are on sale for 50$ opposed to 80$ so I was about to buy those, but what do you guys think I should buy? I need just all around good headphones, nott a boomer, but a relativley decent bass...

Hey I post another thread if you guys care to read about that, it explains more on what i am looking for , Out of the six pairs of headphones i post in my last tread I am trying to figure out which one`s have more bass and better sound, but i am really going for what one`s have better bass  ...

I'm sorry for not posting very much on the forum anymore. I'll be more active in the coming months.   More importantly; I'm looking to buy headphones about in the 100USD area, and I've become fixed on these. I want something with which I could enjoy definitely electronic music. Right now I...

Hello world. Im brand new to the headphone scene, but have done a bit of reading before starting this post. I have decided i want some headphones, but have literally no prior experience with them. I do know what i need however. I listen to primarily house, progressive house, dance, and trance...

Hello there! this looks like the most reliable forum about hi-fi headphones on the internets, so i'm asking you! I owed a pair of (lame) wesc plastics, and Technics rp-f290 (wich i loved and used till they melted)   I'm looking for a good pair of over-ear, 50-150€ range, durable (and...

Hi, My roommate doesn't like the bass coming through the thin wall between us, so I've turned my subwoofer way down. Unfortunately it's ruining my enjoyment of music. So I want to get a set of headphones as a better compromise. I really hate earbuds because they are uncomfortable, and don't...

Don't know how many DJ Max fans we have around here, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the main guys behind the latest DJ Max game wearing Shure SRH-750DJs in a video.     Just felt like sharing, and maybe see if there are any other DJ Max players on Head-Fi.

Hello everyone, first post here, but in need of some help in deciding which headphones to get.   I just purchased the Sennheiser HD 555's new on sale for $75 since after reading the reviews I found it to be a very good deal. However I am not that well versed in headphones and did not realize...

I know that to the audiophiles here, what I'm looking for may not be considered decent, but since I'm moving from using either stock iPod earbuds or Turtle Beach X1s (Bought for my Xbox), this should be a massive improvement.   My maximum for this is $200, but if I could stay under $150, it...

Hi all,   I just bought an HD 600 which i'll be using with my home rig.   Now, I'm also looking for a nice set of portable cans, obviously the HD 600 is out of the question.   Which cans will be best suited for portable use unamped out of an iPod? I'm looking for great...

I couldn't find a thread about this, so I decided to create one myself and to inform fellow Canadian head-fi'ers of this excellent sale on the Shure SRH750 DJ going on at Future Shop right now. It expires on June 19th. Personally, I am going to pick up a pair of these myself for such a good...

My last set of headphones got destroyed at a gig, so I thought I might as well upgrade a bit. I've been looking at Technics RPDJ-1200, Sony V700, and some Audio Technica models, but can't seem to be satisfied with any of them. Any suggestions?

So I've been searching for some portable headphones to carry around that are really good at noise isolation and don't have crappy sound quality, and the only option that I've been able to find are the beats by dr dre...   However, I listened to them at a store, and the sound quality just...

Hello Everyone,   I borrowed a pair of Studio Beats by Dr. Dre - and I loved the sound.  I mainly listen to rap music so bass is important to me.  And mind you, I am no audiophile (though I am considering it as a hobby).  But after reading reviews and hearing what true audiophiles have to...

Same as most, I'm a long-time browser, first time poster on the forums. I could really use anyones advice. I'm looking to break open the piggy bank and get myself a set of headphones I can be proud of now and despair at later when they die. Help me, Head-fiers, please.   I'm looking for...

From lurking this forum I have gathered that many of you hate Monster Cable Beats by Dr Dre. However I think that they would suit me so it would be great for some advice from you experts. Well I call you experts because the only headphones I have ever used are the in-ear type. The standard Apple...

I am currently debating these three phones for my ipod classic. Which would offer me the best and biggest bass, but also the cleanest highs and mids. I listen to a lot of bass driven music, so I don't mind if its shaking my skull. Does the ultrasone surround sound really work? Does the frequency...
