Hi folks, I just picked up a Fiio E17 and have been trying to use them with my SRH-840s but I can hardly tell the difference between the E17 and the built in DAC/amp in my 11" MacBook Air. In fact plugging directly into the air makes the music sound slightly more "alive". Forgive me if I'm not...

I'm currently using the SRH840s and i'm looking for something thats more punchy in bass.  Something that will allow me to FEEL the bass much more but doesnt sacrifice too much clarity and quality from the SRH840s.  I've been doing research and found that the D1100s are punchy and interest me...

When I bought my SRH840's I was more of an all around music listener/musician, so not having crushing low end wasn't much of an issue. Due to a few events though, and my very sudden introduction to djing, I've started listening to a lot more electronic. The past two or three months of listening...

After searching through many past threads on this topic and reading countless reviews my head is starting to spin with more and more options being discovered all the time!  I thought I'd make a thread with my personal preferences, if any members of the community could take the time to offer...

31 May 2012   Review: AKG 550 versus Bererdynamic DT 1350 (with guest appearances by the Shure SRH840 and the ATH-M50)   Picking up on a comment in another thread...

So....which would be better for listening to dubstep? I am not a basshead, I am still concerned with overall sound quality, though bass is important when it comes to dubstep regardless. I don't use an amp and I use an lg optimus 2x to listen to my music so im not too fancy when it comes to source.

Hey, I would like to know which of the headphones performs well for dubstep but still maintains good overall sound quality. Note, I am NOT a basshead and still very concerned with the overall sound quality. Seeing as I want them mostly for dubstep, I understand bass is important. Also, is the...

      I am currently using the Grado SR-125i with my Cowon. It sounds great with some genres like rock but to be honest it doesn't shine with other genres. I've come to realise I need a more versatile headphone as the music I listen to can range from heavy metal to classical.       I've done...

EDIT:  I meant the AKF K550.   So ive made a bunch of threads now trying to narrow down what my next set of cans are.  I currently am using the Shure SRH840s with a FiiO E7.  I've narrowed it down to the Denon AH-D2000, but now the AKG K550 spark my interest.   I like how the SRH840s are...

any ideas of what cable I should use for the srh840's? I am wanting to make a cable that would produce the best sound.

now that i have bought a my first audiophile headset i would like to buy a amp to improve it, and i want it to be portable since i like hearing music on the go. i don't really have that high of a budget, i would max give 65£, so i though that the fiio e11 would be great, since i saw a...

So I'm planning on getting the SRH440s in the near future.   I've seen a lot of posts recommending replacing the 440 pads with the ones from the 840.   Now my question is, does this change the sound signature of the 440s in any way?   Also, do I really need the 840 cushions? What...

How will the SRH840 headphones sound without an amp, is it absolutely necessary to buy one or will they work fine straight from an iPod?

When I think of gaming headphones, I think of Sennheiser open back headphones. I have never heard this type of headphone in person, but here is what I am looking for.   (Note, I do not want a headset, just headphones.)   I only play first person shooting games, such a Battlefield 3...

Hey I just received a brand new pair of shure srh840 headphones. They were sounding fine until suddenly (after only 5 minutes of use) the right head phone stopped working. I'm not sure how this could have happened and I'd like to assess the problem before I have to send them back. Can anyone...

I've had these for 3 years so they're out of warranty.  It's 79+shipping+time waiting to get them fixed (anyone know how long this takes?).  The right side stopped working and I've tried to repair it myself to no avail.   I absolutely love these headphones.  I haven't even thought about...

Does anyone have a size comparison between these two headphones? I just want to get a general picture of how big the 840 is compared to the M50.   Also, if anyone can state the sound difference between the 840's, M50 and the KNS-8400's, it would be very much appreciated. Will be using on an...

I almost decided on buying the shure headphones but then i saw there was a deal on the audio technica m50s. i read some reviews and some people said the m50s were a little heavier in bass and lighter in the mids   the shure headphones are ~$150 the m50 are only 100.   tl;dr- are the...

Hi all,   I'm looking for the pair of headphones which has the best sound quality while also being comfortable with reasonable isolation. I plan on using my laptop alone to drive these without the use of an amp. I will use these to listen to music of which i listen to a range of  genres so...

Hi there, I'm looking to see if there's a 2.5mm adapter for sale anywhere that'll fit Shure's propietary connector (the twist-to-lock one)? I'm asking, as I would like to use a cable with iPhone functionality built-in (three-button remote and mic) while I'm outside. I did look around on Google...

Im new to higher quality headphones. I just got my new pair of cans today. I did some research on breaking them in, but was wondering if it really is necessary? Would it really make that big of a difference? If so, how do I do it?

  Shootout Shure SRH840 vs M-Audio Q-40 vs Ultrasone HFI-580 vs AKG K240S   This is a pretty diverse group of brands. Shure was established in 1925, M-Audio in 1998. AKG leans toward the stubbornly retro school of design, while Ultrasound has all sorts of quirky technologies within their...

I came to a conclusion in buying a pair of SRH-840's and I am a bit scared to pay 150EUR on a headphones that seem to be a bit flimsy from reviews that I saw.    I will be using the headset with a Zalman Clip hooked up to a gaming PC. I will be using this for music. Trance Vocals and Metal...

Which headphone is better overall for gaming and bass music?   Also, which pair is more practical in terms of size and portability?    Thanks

:cool:Hi! I'm curious about your opinion about which of this models you think is better of only listening purposes, you know, the most 'musical' one. To keep this short i'll only say that what i listen to the most is rock & metal, actually a lot . I'd love to know which of this ones fits more...
