I have a $300 budget and want to upgrade from my JVC RX700s. I generally listen to Trance and other electronic music streamed from Rdio while plugged in directly to my Macbook Air.   I've been considering the following headphones, but I haven't reached a decision:    - V-Moda M-100 -...

I need new headphones for $300-$400 I'm think of Velodyne VTrue, V-Moda M100, Sennheiser Momentum, Sony MDR 1-R, Logitech UE, or Bowers and Wilkins P5, please come up with more that are $300-$400, I like to listen to pop, rock, alternative, rap, basically all types of genres so please give me...

So, that's my objective. I currently have $200 for headphones. I may get more sometime, but at this moment I'm not sure. If I do get more, than I'll have $300 to play with, so I'd like to see a sub $300 can shootout. (I did search for one, and didn't see such a thread.) So here's what I'd love...

I've decided to grab the Sony MDR-1R, but the only version sold in the US is the black/red version and I've made a huge mistake of falling in love with the silver/brown one. Looks like there are plenty of eBay stores that carry them in Japan and Canada. What are everyone's thoughts on importing...

I posted this in the reccomendations thread and doubt it is going to get any recognition. That subforum is too busy. I just wanted some opinions on my next portables;   I am in the market for some over-ear or on-ear headphones under 250 that meet these qualities (in order of importance)...

I'm looking for a comfortable, lightweight, high-quality and very durable pair of portable headphones that don't require an amp, that I can wear in the car or on an airplane without disturbing those around me.  I've worn Sony MDR-V150 headphones for as long as I can remember, but they sound flat...

Hi All,   So I don't know if I can officially categorize myself as an audiophile since oh man are there some crazy music lovers out there. =)  But I come pretty close.  I live in headphones whether its listening to music, watching movies, tv shows, etc.  I feel like I'm going through so many...

i want to buy a new heaphoens and i allready found some good ones  i hear music with a lot of bass, like dubstep and pop and thinks like that    those are the headphoens    beyerdynamic DT880 Premium 32 OHM   AKG K267 tiesto sireis    or V-MODA M100   thank for the help  

I need some cans for my Yamaha motif es synth keyboard. I bought some sony mdr-7506 and found them really harsh so are going back. What will sound better (more appropriate) for listening to blurays through tv, and also using for music and my keyboard. I understand beyerdynamic dt250 80 are...

Hey,   So after spending hours reading many many threads comparing the MDR-1R's to the Momentum's, I finally decided to go for the MDR-1R's (simply because I found them for £80 cheaper).   In most of the reviews i've read (and on the Sony USA website), it's mentioned that the MDR-1R's...

I've been on the hunt for several weeks for a headphone that is both comfortable and sounds good for vocal trance and other electronic music.   I've already owned or demoed a number of headphones in this price range:   Sennheiser Momentum - owned for about a week - loved the sound...

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...

Hey all. I replied in the recommendation thread but didnt really get an answer. Im looking to replace my iBuds with some closed full-sized, over the ear cans. I want over ear because I have really small ears and on-ear, in-ear designs are uncomfortable as all hell. I have varied interests in...

Hi all,   I'm new here, just passing by to ask for some advice regarding headphones. My old pair broke so I'm on the hunt for a new pair... I'm looking for over-ear (or a really comfortable on-ear) with detachable cable and are closed (I think that's the right term?) so outside noise is...

I have just recently looked at sonys mdr 1rbt. Doing some research and they seem to be very good so i looked for them on ebay and found a decent deal. After seeing this i also saw that sony had just released the mdr 1a. So i am posting this to ask if i should just get the 1rbt ir wait until sony...

I currently have some ATH-m50s. I got them for $110.00   I can get http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Mode-M40-Headphones-Copper/dp/B005N8A4Z0   for $140.00.     I love the sound of the Ath-m50s, and i like the sound signature, even though the mids could be a bit better.   Should...

Hi I this is my second post here. Hope I do it better this time. I am a noob hearer, looking for a some headphones. I live abroad so, I can't physically try much before buying, and we also don't have the option of returning them, unless of course its faulty. I have tried the Bose Q15 for a few...

I'm looking to buy a closed can, very noise isolating, with good bass.   I'm looking to spend around 200 and i have came up with a few choices but am not sure which is best in terms of overall sound quality.   So far I have been interested in the:   Sony z1000 Pioneer hdj 2000...

I decided to get a pair of decent headphones for office work.  I use HD598's at home and enjoy them, although I do get some clamping pain unlike most people.   Here's what I need:   1.  Closed 2.  A respectable amount of sound leakage (co-workers are about 15 feet from me through a...

Title almost kind of says it all. I need a closed headphone for $300 dollars or under. I'm considering the Sony mdr-1r for a multitude of reasons. I have large ears so i'm pretty positive they'll be the most comfortable for me, and they're a pretty sexy headphone too(Brown and Silver.) The only...

can you guys just give me a list of good headphones for noobs under 200$. im looking for some more bass in my headphones and i mainly listen to rap, pop, rock, and occasionaly dubstep

I definitely do not consider myself an audiophile yet, but I am starting to develop my ear for it. I am on a serious search for some new cans. I've owned the Audio Technica M50s which I loved, but the wiring frayed in the input jack. So I am planning on getting those completely re-cabled because...

I like the amperior's sound a lot, that's not why I want to return them. It has a very clear, upfront sound, with good bass, and good imaging. However the thing can't be worn for more than a couple hours without ear ache. I'm looking for an alternative with good sound, portability, and around...

Looking for:   -Good for all kinds of music -Comfort (to listen to 8+ hours sometimes) -Build quality and durability (don't want it to break anytime soon) -Some portability -Closed back   Price range: U$ 200 - U$ 300   I was checking the guides but the headphone i liked...

Hi everyone first let me say that I am a total beginner when it comes to headphones and audio. I have been reading many forum posts about good headphones and have a list of a few I really like. My first question is about sound cards, I will be using supreme iv at the moment for audio,(the...
