I've ultimately had no help from the recommendations thread, so, I'm turning to both Supremeus members and the general forums. Copy-paste of my post  I listen to a lot of EDM and other misc electronic genres, such as breakcore, speedcore, noise, and happy hardcore. Sometimes some rock...

Hi there! First post and happy to be joining the community (my poor wallet though, I don't think it will ever forgive me for the decision).  I was wondering if I could get some help on deciding on a good set of closed headphones under $300.  I would love to get some open ones to fully enjoy the...

Hi Everyone,    I've been looking for a good first pair of over-ear headphones, and I'm just wondering if anyone has some good suggestions. Here's basically what I'm looking for (sorry for my lack of experience, I'm pretty new to this.) They would be used with a laptop and iPod touch. Listed...

Hi! I tried listening to my friend's Triple-fi's and I loved their detail and the fact that I could "hear everything." However, I was looking for headphones in over the ear or on ear form.  I am looking for headphones that are... Highly detailed (revealing) throughout lows/mids Very...

Hey this is my first post, Looking for your opinions, I am going to invest in my first pair of good headphones, I had dre solos but I got the iPhone 5 and the new headphones that come with them had more bass, I love bass and I like when it has depth and I like hearing the music on a bunch of...

When i say durable i mean which are more likely to break, which are more hearty and robustly built all around?

I think the title says it all. What are the best headphones, open or closed, that need no amping, modding, or burning-in to sound great? If I just want to plug something into my ipod and be on my merry way, what should I buy?   Suffice to say, many will likely improve with amping, but let's...

I've been trying to do research on here so I can make a decision on new headphones, but I have run into a few problems... I'm a gamer and I use my old Turtle Beach headphones whenever I play with friends. I also have Shure SRH-840 headphones for whenever I just want to zone out and listen to...

Hi all,   I'm looking to get myself some new headphones.  These will be my first pair of dedicated, portable headphones, so they need to be closed.  Currently I am using the CX 300-II IEM and they're showing their age.  I listen to a wide variety of music such as house, electronic...

I just bought a pair of shure 840 and was wondering if a sound card would drive the headphones better that the original on motherboards(mine is asus v formula), if so which one?   IF not a sound card for my stationary pc can drive it then what DAC/AMP will do the trick? (portable ? ) I...

Hey! I'm new to Head-Fi, and I'm going to get my first "good" headphones. So, I've read many good reviews about them, but how could I compare them? Price range is under 200$, so there's a lot of headphones on that Here's the list: Audio Technica ATH-M50 Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro...

Hi all,   Long time lurker here... But I have a question for you guys... I am a musician and enjoy good music, and good music quality. My musical gear journey went like this:   Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5 Pro (on stage in ears) then I got Shure SRH-840 then I got  Alessandro...

Hello everybody, I'm starting in the vast headphone world... I'm from outside from EUA and a friend of mine will travel and buy a headphone to me. I'd buy a Shure SRH-840 but I found out that it has a poor build and is flimsy, and warranty with Shure is very hard to me because I'm don't live in...

I currently own the Shure SRH 840, and I was quite satisfied with their sound until I gave the HD 598 a listen in a local audio store. Now I am a bit torn between both headphones, as I find both have great detail for their price range, and I like both sound signatures. I do admit I am leaning a...

I recently decided to get a good pair of headphones for use in the office, hopefully someone here can recommend a pair.  Up until now whenever I wanted to listen to music in the office I would use the klipsch reference s4, but I stopped because in-ear headphones just aren't very comfortable for...

Hey guys, heard about this site from a friend. I was told if im looking for headphones, this is the place to be.    So... Im looking for the best headphones for around $200. Can go a little over $200 if its worth it. What i mean by "best" is sound quality. Im not too interested in looks. ...

I just tried out the Sennheiser HD 558's and they are the exact sound I'm looking for! But sadly they're open, and since I'm gonna be listening to these headphones in public a lot they aren't the best choice.   Could anyone recommend some closed headphones that have roughly the same sound as...

I have searched the forum and can't find any threads on these so I thought I would start one..   Here are the OwnPhones.. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ownphones/ownphones-the-worlds-first-custom-fit-3d-printed-e   They are on a Kickstarter campaign and look to be pretty good? What...

So, I have a question for the group. Sorry, might be a bit of a newbie question and a bit long, but I would appreciate your collective wisdom.   I am somewhat of a budding audiophile and my “at work” headphones have finally give way allowing me to upgrade. My situation is fairly typical – cube...

Hello!   I've been doing a bit of research into some headphones suitable for live sound engineering and these two kept popping up. I actually ended up with the Shure SRH840s as I couldn't demo the German Maestros, but along the way I ended up emailing them about the difference between the 8.35...
