11-16-09 EDIT I started this thread back in October when I made a trip down to the AES Convention and got a chance to spend some time with Shure's new DJ model. I received my pair today and thought I would turn this into an impressions thread. My original posting is below. You can jump to...

what do you guys think for general use?

So, after buying professional iems, that to not be overpriced, i am finally looking for headphones that to not be overpriced.... i mean in my country you rarley fiind things that are not overpriced.....    so.... anybody who knows some cans, i am into under 500$, that sound really good, i am...

So I'm looking for some portable full size headphones. However, all the ones I look at (eg: ATH-M50, SRH750DJ) have a cord that's way too long to wear while walking my dog. Are there any good full size headphones out there with a cord between 1 and 1.5 metres?

I'm looking for a fun alternative to my open-air K501s/Audio-Technicas, so I've been looking into the more popular closed models known to be bassy - ATH-M50s, DT770/80 Pros, and Sennheiser HD380 Pros (which was a bit of a dark horse). They all have great bass and a pretty decent fun factor, but...

and I couldn't properly use their SRH840 headphones because the music volume was too loud at their display stand. -.-   However, I did get to try out the Shure SRH750DJ headphones with my own source (iPod Touch) since they didn't have it on display, and they sounded pretty darn amazing...

Well, I've had these babies for about three months, and here is my review. In short, you probably are comparing these headphones to the M50's, if so, my personal opinion is that three months in, the SRH750DJ's are better. If you would like to stick around and find out why, then, keep on reading...

Yes, sadly it seems I have lost my Sennheiser IE8s, must have been on my recent trip overseas.   Apart from being gutted, I am now deciding on whether to get another pair, or if you guys can recommend another pair for me to get. I'm open to either IEMs or Circumaural Headphones, but I do...

Hello!   I new to the forum. My extent of audio terminology and equipment is wide I know quite a bit about audiophile things. I have eliminated the other headphones from my list (being Bose AE2, Grado SR80i, etc). The two still remaining are the Shure SRH-750DJ and the Audio Technical...

Hey everyone, I've had some involvement with audiophile gear in the past but never knew that the source and how your playing it can actually make a difference, and I just recently found Head-Fi and all the information about everything sound wise and that's been a great help, as of right now I'm...

Does anyone here use these headphones portable use?   I have the Shure SRH840s. They are annoying to wear around the neck. I feel like I'm wearing a neck brace. And that coiled cable gets in my nerves too.   Anyways!...How do the SRH750DJ and the ATH-M50 feel around the neck?   Can...

i have tried 2 higher end headphones in the $100 to $200 range. and they distort way to much. i would sometimes prefer to listen to i buds but i don't as they don't have any details whatsoever. is it that the higher end shure headphones. The srh750dj's and the srh840's need an amp. everyone says...

  is it worth while to trade in my shure srh750dj headphones for shure srh840 as the 750dj were 129.99 and the shure 840s are on sale for 129.99?   i mostly listen to rock and metal is it a worthwhile investment. i can do an over the counter trade.   hows the durability in the shure...

  Hello I'm looking to purchase a pair of head phones with a great bass and sound quality. I'm assuming these headphones will need to be over-ear, and I desire bass quality to that of the Beats (by Dr. Dre). I have heard many complaints about the value of Dr. Dre's headphones lately...

I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 Pros. They are the best cans I've owned so far, and have lasted me for three years at least. I must admit that I am not an audiophile because I don't have that much money to shell out and haven't had time to compare. I've been making a little wish list...

Hello, i bought this headphones yesterday, and i love his sound, very powerfull sound, but i feel the vocals a little reccesed, I think i need to burn it about 50 hours, How much this headphone improve with burn(50 hours?)?, and a second question, will a fiio e5 improve the sound of this...

I recently bought the Shure750dj's (as I had been planning for a month or so) for a very reasonable $108, with a little cash left over. Now I am interested in buying an amplifier, because I find that less on my PC, but especially on my iPod, the headphones really do lack that power needed, and...

I bought the beats studio on boxing day in december last year because i wanted high end head phones and when i heard them i feel in love with them. But this was 2 months ago and i have been looking at other head phones reviews and many people are saying that there are many head phones that are...

Thought I'd start a thread for these.   I have them now and impressions are pretty good so far. Seems like they're built well. They don't make creaky noises when adjusting them like the SRH750DJ. They still have the flat top/square head syndrome though, so that's kind of a bummer. The ear...

Hello Hello!   New to the forum obviously.  Though I have been lurking for many years, reading this and that.   I bought a pair of ATH-M50's while I was in Japan.  Great price, reviews were good for starting cans, no amp is necessary, and burn-in is good.      1 Year, into them...

I absolutely loved my Denon's   I am going to attempt a recable on them with information I found on this board.   In the mean time however, I am interested in finding some comparible headphones   Here are my needs:   Less than 150$ Does not require amplification Closed  ...

I do like bass and I do enjoy the female vocals quiet a bit.  Thanks for you assistance!

I'm looking for a full-sized pair of headphones (preferably sub-$175 or so) that can match the lovely bass response of the Klipsch S4's, which I own. I listen mainly to electronic dance music (trance, house, techno...), so good bass response is essential. At the same time, I don't want to...

  Can someone explain me why so many (NOT ALL) headphones on Amazon.co.uk cost almost twice as much compared to Amazon.com?   I live in EU so if I buy stuff from Amazon.com shipping usually costs more than the product itself :) But then again on Amazon.co.uk prices are insane.   But...
