Using a Bellari HA-540 Tube Amp, Nuforce USB DAC, and my Macbook Air / iTunes.  Is one a better choice?  Music: Pop, ie. Maroon 5, Adele, Dave Matthews, etc.  Thanks!   PS. I have the Shure 750’s, hate the comfort.

I tried browsing for the COPs and I couldn't find any in any Canadian retailer. Are the COPs discontinued?

The title says it all, love the comfort of the DT770 Pro but I would like it if they were a bit more isolating from outside noise. Any headphone that would sound and fit as good but isolate more?

Or in other words, a comparison of the main cans I currently happen to have around   But no, in all seriousness, I've gotten a few questions recently about various cans, and since I just got the DT 150 in this past week I figured now would be a good time to do a bit of a writeup.   All...

I am going to be receiving a gift card for my broken ATH-M50s that I bought Pro Coverage on (Yeah....I was sort of dumb 2 years ago when I first joined, but it actually is paying off) and will be receiving a $120 gift card.   I'm getting into recording my friends and such so I have a mixer and...

Hey   I am looking for a new headphone for $75-$90 (pre owned), I cannot choose between these two. The m50s are fun and fast but they aren't very accurate. The 840s are really accurate, with great soundstage but I heard they where too slow. My musical taste is really varied, my main genres are...

As the title mentions I am a truck driver. I drive over the road and I am home maybe once to twice a year. I need some suggestions for some headphones that sound great but are very durable and if possible have folding ear cups like on my sennheiser hd8 djs. Having wireless or bluetooth...

Hello everyone,   I am fairly new to head-fi and I did do some search around the forum trying to get the best closed headphone for under $150. I only have a pair of HD 203 that I brought from e-bay and honestly speaking my in-ear JVC HAFX1X xtreme-Xplosivs headphone sounds way better than...

  Hi Guys,   Been browsing for a while and finally took the plunge on getting some better headphones from my old/cheap and now dog eaten AGK K321 iem's. I picked closed headphones over another iem for comfort and closed design for use at work (a must!). I researched what good closed...

So ive waited WAY too long to buy my first pair of actually good headphones (Ive been surviving on monoprice 8320s). Recently I've been set on Beyerdynamic Custom Pro Ones, but a friend is now telling me they don't really compare to Shure SRH440's (which are half the price), and that they are...

Need to get a closed back headphone.. My T1's leaking sound is not cool when my wife is watching TV. Now my issue is since I spent so much on myT1 I have a very little budget. Can anyone suggest a good closed back can? I know it won't come close but all I can think of is the At ATH-M50 or the...

Hi, I know there are many better headphones at this similar price. I have a free voucher that I can only pick this 2 choices. Which one will you pick? The ZX700 seems to have some no too positive review while the 449 seems to have more neutral opinion...  

Hey all,   If this isn't the proper forum for this, please forgive me and kindly direct me to the appropriate forum.   The plastic joint connecting the right ear cup of my SRH 840's to the headband has broken. The metal underneath is still completely intact and the wire is still...

I've got some shure srh840 and they're awesome but I'm looking for some decent portable earbuds. I generally like good mid ranges, and not really bass heavy laid back kind of earbuds. I used to have the klipsch s4 and they were good (got run over). What are some good recommendations

Hi all,   As you can probably tell, this is my first ever post. I have a conundrum I am hoping to get help with. I love to listen to classical music (not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination) but am tired of listening to it on Bose ie2's. I have some minor low tone hearing loss...

I've been eyeing on the shure SRH940 for quite sometime. Every bit of its info seems to match exactly what I've been always searching for. I was so into this headphone that numerous times I was about to pull the trigger and something would happen in the way......now when I finally want to go...

I am completely new to quality personal audio equipment and after a bit of searching and impromptu research, I have narrowed my choices. First off, the use will be for personal home audio use in a fairly noise environment while listening to music, movies, and occasional video games without the...
