I am looking for a good set of very "liquid" or "musical" headphones. I really like the sound of my ATH A500s but I also love the sound of my etys. I liked both sennheisers and grados when I listened to them but the lower end grados seem to be a little harsh. With that said what are some good...

I'm working on a project and need some suggestions for open and closed headphones in the $300-$500 range. Thanks!

I found an audiophile head phone by sony, which is called the MDR-SA5000 ( link bellow). Why isn't there any info on the forum about it, it looks like an amazing headphone?!!?  ...

Sorry if there is a special forum for advice. I've finally decided to allot some of my budget to upgrade form the earbuds I bought at Walgreens. From my very basic searching, I've ended up with the Sony MDR-SA5000's and the Sennheiser 650's, which are both about $350. I am always willing to...

Just got these and up on YouTube.  Hope you guys like it.  

Edit: The novelty of my SRH940's excellent critical listening capabilities has worn off and I think my HD 650's are perfect for long term listening still. My HD 650 and SRH-940 make a perfect pair, satisfying options for closed (Shure) and open (Senn), analytical/forward (Shure) and...

Probably there arent none, but i heard Grados are fairly good, while some sennheisers are slow... Anything that can sort of match Electrostatic drivers speed?

  Not my pics but i found them interesting, i take it these all have the same transducer?             qualia driver   5000     3000          

Hello everyone,     I decided to go ahead and take the leap into higher end gear since I now have a headphone amp. My question is which one of these cans will be best suited for rock/techno? I don't know if anyone has heard the sound signature (tapered off highs and highly present mids) of...

Hi,   So I've got some spare budget and I've been thinking about possibly upgrading some of my audio at home...   Currently I've a pair of DT1350's (amazing headphones for SQ, but a little uncomfortable for constant wear, especially since i seem to have largeish ears!)   A pair of...

Hi evreyone! My name is Juan Carlos, i am from Costa Rica and i am 15 years old! I am looking for a good set of headphones for under 400 dollars or maybe 500...I am interested in two particular brands, Grado Labs and AKG.   I like to listen to Rock like Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd...

Thats right folks, walmart sells $600 headphones...  athw1000x   no less   or you could "settle" for the Sony mdrsa5000

AD2000 vs W5000 vs K701 vs SA5000 If you were to choose between these phones, which one would it be? (Don't concider the price. It doesn't matter) I listen to all kinds of music except jazz, classical and orchestra (like many head-fiers do..) Mostly trance.. Thoughts on other phones I've...

I've been looking through a lot of best headphone threads and it seems that the RS-1i are the best choice for metal. I listen to a lot of 80s thrash, 80-90s death metal and third wave black metal. I also listen to other metal subgenres like heavy metal, doom metal and other music genres such as...

Greetings all.   Epic sadness today as I shut the car door on my XB-700 cord.  Now one can doesn't work.   I don't have the receipt so proof of purchase will be difficult.  Is there anyway to replace the cord?  Note that it is a flat cord, not a round one.   If I could do it myself...

so after a loooong research i bought the shure se535. the sound is great but the bass just not there. i'm looking for some good headphone with warm sound that produce healthy bass got un limited budget any ideas ?   btw what do you people think makes music more fun to listen, iem or...

Hi everybody. I like to replace my SR80i (served me well) & take a leap in the headphones class. My budget is mentioned in the tile. My music taste is mainly rock (all forms of it), a little electric music & jazz. I'd go for an advanced Grados but I found them uncomfortable. Thanks.

I'm still planning my headphone pathway, but I just realized that the SA5000s won't have impactful and powerful bass, the kind of bass that I like when watching movies or sometimes playing games. So, I'll use the SA5000s for music, but I need a complementary pair of cans for games/movies. Which...

One thing that interests me about high-end headphones is that they produce detail in old recordings that are not visible on many lower-end headphones. I've heard this in the HD800 and the D7000. Now, I can't afford any flagship priced headphone atm, but I read some opinions that the MDR-SA5000...

Hey All,   After reading through all 59 pages of the MDR-Z1000 thread, I have placed an order for a pair - to collect on Thursday (albeit, as they are as rare as rocking horse poop in the EU, they are at full list price), anyways - I have a question which I'm hoping someone can answer...  ...

I absolutely love the sound quality from my SA-5000's, but I'm not crazy about the headband or the earpads.  Leather earpads in general are just not my thing.  The SA-1000 seems to have cloth earpads, and a slightly different headband.  I'm assuming since the design is so similar, I could just...

Hey guys!   Been looking into headphones specifically for the aforementioned genres. After doing some research within the forums, and many many many threads later, i've come to the conclusion that the HD600 and HD650 are the top contenders. Which do you guys suggest and why? Any opinion will...

Hi. since I'm new here, I don't no where to ask question (whether in full size or portable headphones), so i'm just posting in both forum. (excuse me :))      I'm a student who loves listening to musics.    I've been using bose OE series. (I no it's not good headphones after all but...

I just picked up a set of SA-5000s, and I'm not crazy about the oddball headband design.  The rubber edges of the headband stick out and dig into your head.  The only way to get a comfortable fit is to position the headband so only the center cloth part of the band contacts your head, which...
