I was in the drug store to grab a bottle of Gatorade this week and saw some white MRD-XD150 cans on sale for $18 (CAN)... Why the hell not?   http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/headband-headphones/mdr-xd150   These are big, closed, around-the ear cans with a 40mm driver.  I wasn't able to...

I currently have a pair of cheap Sony MDR-V150s which feel and sound great for only $20 but I have moved in with my friend. Our desktops are right next to each other and they have a tendency to yell in to their microphones which in turn hurt my ears. Said friend is offering to buy me a new pair...

I just ordered a pair of Ultrasone 15g and I doubt I'm going to like the pads on them. I owned the Sennheiser 407's and they have the same types of pads that muffle. I'm curious if there is a leather or fake leather pad that would fit on these and have atleast a 40mm opening. I say 40mm because...

How do these headphones compare sound quality wise? They look similar but that spell nothing. Everyone copies each other in the Audio world.

Hello, I'm a first poster on Head-Fi, but I've read up quite a bit in my quest for my ideal portable headphone (ljokerl's portable headphone shootout was invaluable in my search).   For starters, I currently have bargain-bin headphones scooped up for $10-15 each at Marshalls or TJMaxx...

http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2007/...mdr-v300dj.jpg Alright, today I picked up a pair of these for very cheap from a friend. He got them for Christmas but never used them, as he prefers to use the apple i buds. They retail for about $50, but you can get them for nearly half that online...

Hi, I'm in the market for a great, long-lasting pair of full-size closed headphones.  I've been browsing the Head-Fi forums for a while now and have gotten quite a lot of great information (thanks!).  After demo-ing a few models at a local pro-audio store, I'm left with a few questions that they...

Just had the thought come to my head of possibly swapping out the stock drivers on my current V150s with the UR-40s whose plug bit the dust a while back, and wondering if it would really be worth the trouble, or even possible to do so? Not considering doing so until a little while after the...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a full size circumaural headphone that can be worn around most days around the neck when not in use? I am looking for a set for under 300 shipped to canada. Things I want: Comfortable around the neck - my denons basically choke me - rotatable cups...

Hello everyone, I have been reading the forum for a few months now but just decided to join. First let me tell you a little bit about myself. I was using the sony mdr-v150 for many many years, replacing them once or twice a year. I always thought they sounded great. Then I decided to look for...

I'm looking for a decent pair of headphones for daily listening at work. I currently have a pair of Sony mdr v150's and they hurt the backs of my ears after 30 minutes. It might just be my ears because earbuds do the same thing. I don't do audio editing or need super high quality headphones; the...

Hey guys, I recently purchased a pair of Grado SR80i's after reading thousands upon thousands of reviews online and I'm thoroughly anticipating it's arrival! I'm a bit of a n00b to the world of headphones having only owned a pair of Sennheiser CX300's and Sony MDR-V150's. I've also read through...

I know we strive for the best in sound quality, but in looking for that alot of people around here must have come across some of the worst sounding equipment too.   iPod earbuds don't count, or the Dre Beats, they're too commercial, and that dead old horse has been flogged and turned into...

Just kidding, these things suck. They sound like a pillow between them and my head.... HD485s are being RMAd because I was being a little rough when messing with the pads and broke a clip that the frame attaches to that holds the driver screen and holds the pads to the frame. Mailed them...

I have a pair of headphone with a max input power of 100mW.  I m going to get a pair of headphone of a max input power of 30mW and I was just wondering what is the difference?  Thank You

Hi. I've posted before, months ago, asking for help. I've finally gotten annoyed with my purchase, so its time to try something different.   I had Sony MDR-V150s - cheap and functional and no headaches in sight. But i wanted something a bit *more*.   I have a limited budget, and prefer...

Hi, i've been reading through this site for the past couple of since i stumbled upon it looking for better iPod alternatives, and i've got to say its awesome! A few months ago i had a Archos 605 wifi but the screen cracked it didn't connect through usb. The main reason for buying the archos...

I'm searching through pages and pages trying to find the best headphones for me. Im upgrading from Sony MDR V150's and am searching within a budget of £70. I mainly listen to rock music but also a bit of drum and bass and electronic. The most appealing thing for me about the XB500's are their...

Hey! Recently, I broke my 3rd pair of Sony MDR-V150's, so I set out to search for some higher end headphones. While researching I stumbled across this site and became a lot more educated in the world of hi-fi headphones. After 2 days of researching I decided to order the SR60i's.  Anyways, since...

I'll start with the good. They sound amamzing. I'm not an audiophile so I'll forgo the use of all the buzz words I see here but the improvement over the in ear buds that I have used is amazing and they crap all over the Sony MDR-V150s that have been the main stay on my PC in recent years. The...

Hey everyone!   I'm a budding audiophile who is currently shopping for a good starting pair of headphones. I have some decent-for-the-price Sony MDR-150's, but I think it's time to kick things up a notch and I've been told that Sennheiser is the way to go.   However, in exploring and...

Hey Everyone,   I just spotted these super cheap Sony headphones (first result, MDR-V150) and I wondered, are these any good? Obviously they aren't going to win any awards, but for £9 are they good value? Has anyone had any experience of them? If I do get them they will just replace my stock...
