Hey,   This is my first post here so please bear with me if I appear noobish.   I have just broken my last pair of Sony MDR-XB700 headphones, which I have enjoyed somewhat for the past few years and have given me lengthy sessions of joy.  I though it would be about time that I maybe went...

Hi, im looking into getting a set of headphones for listening to my ipod and traveling with. I know the full size cans might be a little big to travel with but I will just keep them in a backpack for easy access.I dont really want the open cans even though I think I would really enjoy listening...

Just got this yesterday.  I'm breaking it in right now.  Here's a quick unboxing on it.  Stay tuned for impressions.  

Hi there, this is my first post!    I currently own a pair of Sony MDR-XB700s which are a little old and frail but work OK. I am getting a pair of Sony MDR-1Rs for free with my new phone, so I'm wondering two things:   1) How bad is the sound leakage to other people when listening to the...

Hello, first time on the forum. I'm looking for some help from all of you expereniced listeners :)    I'm looking for a pair of good headphones for around 50-300 USD range. I never used any good headphones, mainly just iphone headphones or bad headphones around 20-30 bucks.    My...

Having a very hard time deciding between the two because I won't be able to personally test out either. Here's a few questions that I have:   What are the differences between the two?   How do these sound unamp?   I will primarily use the headphones on my Nexus 4 with no amps because...

Introduction: Hello all! Recently, I have been seeing a lot of people in this forum, as well as, the others are talking about all these wonderful headphones a lot! Since I have this great opportunity to give all those headphones a listen, I thought why not make a comparison? Without any...

Out of the 3, i only tried the 1r's and i can say that it's bass is as flat as i can go without being unsatisfied with the headphones. I picked these three because of the looks (yeah i know its a bad thing but being a teenager in NYC is very tough) since i get looks going outside with my sony...

I have tried the PSB M4U2 in a store and noticed slight clamping on my head. How would the AKG K550/551 and the Sony MDR 1Rs comfort compare to the PSBs? Mainly the headband i am worried about are the headbands loser then the PSBs?   Also any other that use think is good in this price range...

Can't choose between the Momentum, MDR-1R or M-100. I need a good portable headphone, that sounds good with metal/hardcore (I'll link examples of the main kinds of music I listen to). I use my 160GB iPod Classic (AAC files) and I do not have an amp yet, but I plan on getting a Fiio E7.   I...

What has the better sound quality? 

Source: iPod Touch 3G ALAC filled Amp: iBasso D12       Overall sound impression: As somewhat a treble head and one that crave for mid-range, I have always found getting suitable portable headphones rather difficult. Most are either flat out studio headphones unsuitable for...

Hey! I was just wondering which one would be the best for me and among you head-fi'ers. Comparisons and Reviews would be greatly appreciated! PS: I have the Citiscape Uptowns and MDR 7506 and think theyre both superb cans! Comparisons will be appreciated!

Isolation, comfort, bass, treble, soundstage, portability, durability, all the good stuff   Thanks

Hello all, I come here seeking quick advice because my exchange policy is almost up. The Sennheiser momentum earpads are too small for my ears, so it seems as though ill need a different set. I bought them from BH photo video so i would prefer just an exchange rather than a return and buying...

What are your candidates when it comes to the most forward AND HIGHEST QUALITY vocals/ mids?

Hey Head-Fi'ers You see, I recently bought some Sony MDR 1R's that sound pretty darn good. If I had any complaints, they would be with the soundstage and comfort but overall they're some pretty good cans. Now I'm looking for something to complement them, so I've found some open cans that should...

Hey guys!   I'm trying to find some portable (or at least semi-portable) headphones. But I have a situation that's kinda tricky for me to find some good cans.   I find in-ear and on-ear headphones extremely uncomfortable, so I need a pair of over-ear headphones. But I need to be able to...

I have been told by various sources, This is the place to get good advice on Headphones/Headsets!   i've read though the long Mad lust Envys Review/report. But would like to ask the forum as a whole for their views also. its going to take me a while to read all the report   Currently...
