Hello all! A while ago, I started a thread comparing headphones that I had auditioned. Most headphones reviewed there are mostly above $200 except for the Shure SRH-840 which I added in for a quick comparison and it was a short one and the well known Ultimate Ears UE6000. Later on, after a few...

So, I purchased the m50s and found they weren't all that comfortable by comparison to my other headphones(AD700s, HD555s, Astro A40s) and thought I'd see if there were other monitoring headphones which were more comfortable. I ran across a thread on head-fi which had a whole bunch of people...

So I have the money for ether one, I think both will be fine for all round use and even though the AytH might be more "fun". What would be better for my small head. I am guessing the KRKs and I am thinking they might sound have a more neutral SIG as well as that's what I am looking for.

I was wondering whether there are any fake Shure SRH840's around. I have seen a pair of brand new ones at a very low price from a genuine website and am tempted to get it. Is there any way of spotting fakes?

What are the differences between these headphones? This is my first pair of good headphones and I'm unsure about which to get. I listen to all genres of music, mostly rock and alternative, along with videos, TV shows and movies etc. These will be driven from my iPod Touch 4th generation and I...

Now that I have good headphones (Shure srh840), and I can notice the difference between a CD on a stereo and a 320 kbps mp3 made from the same CD, I have a few questions as far as using my laptop is concerned.   1. Would I get better sound out of my laptop with a DAC/amp/both with WAV...

Hi guys i would like to ask your opinion on which headphone is better. please dont consider the price or price/quality ratio and simply compare the sound quality. assume that you have all the money you need. So which headphone would be a better choice only considering the sound...

Most people on here describe the 840's as being quite heavy, pronounced and lush in the mids, ok bass response, and clean highs.   However, Tyll from Inner Fidelity (whose opinion I respect very much) has said pretty much the opposite - that the 840's are forward in the bass and highs...

Hi, I'm relatively new to headphones. Currently, I listen mostly to pops/countries (songs with lots of vocals), and movie soundtracks.   I’ve been using the Panasonic earphone HJE450 (~ $25) for years now and it’s the best one I’ve had so far. Great sound for cheap price. Much better than...

Falling shelf scared my dog who was laying on the wire of my Shure SRH840s which in turn broke them in half at the headband. I don't necessarily care if my new cans are open or closed. I'd prefer to stay under 250 or 200 USD but I'm willing to go up to 300 USD. Currently I'm considering the AKG...

Hey folks I'm new to posting on these forums. Nice to meet y'all! I'm currently a student in collage and I love music just like the rest of you (Yes, the assumption was made)! I have a budget of about $300 I can go higher if needed but I'd prefer not to. I'd like a pair of headphones that I can...

hi-  need some help finding a pair of headphones for my son-  dont really want to spend more that $75-100.-  i just cant stand him cranking his Ipod around the house anymore!! saw a pair of Monster Ncredible Ntune for around $50.00 on dealnews-but have no idea what is junk and what is good or if...

Hi, I've been looking around for a pair of budget headphones with a max price of about ~$150. I will be using them in noisy places, so they must have a closed/sealed design and have passive sound isolation. They need to be reasonably sturdy, and not prone to breaking under moderate stress, since...

Hello,   I've been thinking about getting some decent headphones for a while but as soon as I began my research, I was bombarded by different possibilities. What I am trying to look for are headphones that are fairly neutral but bright highs. I really enjoy listening to vocals and acoustic...

I listen to mostly rock/rock alternative sucha as the black keys red hot chili peppers and the arctic monkeys. There is one sorta electric band I listen to called ratatat. I have v moda crossfade lp's that I got for $50 and I figured they are made for dub step rap and hip hop which I'm not too...

I just bought the Shure srh840 on ebay.  I am extremely new to the world of quality sound, and I would like your opinions.  I have attempted to do a lot of research, mostly on this site, and I have found myself completely lost.  I would like any recommendations for how to maximize my sound...

I'm looking for a DAC + AMP for my Shure SRH-840 for around ~$60. I've done a lot of searching and reading on various websites, but a lot of the discussions or data seems out of date (from 2-3 years ago). I've considered the Fiio E-10, but reviews seem mixed, and it does seem quite "old." I'm...

I need some thoughts on what headphones take advantage of the headstage arrow 4g's power. I already have some ue 6000 and they're awesome. My budget is right around 200 or leas

Hey, I'm new here so hello everyone.   I need some help, after I didn't get any on other forums. I'd like to buy new headphones (but if I won't find any better, I won't do that) for maximum 100$. I've read half of internet about that topic but, as always, answers were: buy A, elsewhere: buy...

I did post in the sticky before you flame me, I am in desperate need of a new pair of headphones I'll delete this thread asap I promise.     Looking to pick up a pair of headphones and amp So far i've looked into 598's, ATH- m50's, ATH A900x's,ATH  A900's, SRH840's, DT 990's and DT 770's...

Hey, so I recently decided I wanted to get headphones that are of a quality that will enhance my music listening experience rather than keep it stagnant. After spending tons of time searching the web and going through forums I couldn't find anyone that had a request similar enough to mine to...

I currently own the Bose Around Ear (first version) and i am considering upgrading to the Audio Technica ATH-M50.       Reason for upgrade: -Can't wear my bose for more than 1 hour without it starting to hurt my ears and after 2 hours it hurts the top of my head. -Looking for an...

I have done A LOT of research on this. I originally was just going to get the ath-m50, but once I really looked into it I found out that the m50 might not be the best buy. There are just so many competing headphones that I'm not sure what to choose!     Some of the headphones:   Srh-840...

I'm looking for a pair of headphones with good sound. Decent build quality. IDC if they are plastic just so they don't fall apart. A pair that I can wear while while I'm out, I'll be using them with my phone and when I'm home on my amp. I live with friends, and since I'll be out with them I'd...

I didn't get a response in the recommendations thread, so I will try in a thread.   I currently have the original Bose AE, and they are finally completely falling apart (pads and wire coming loose). I have been reading on here for the last few hours and have seen a ton of recommendations...
