Is it too much to ask to want your cake and to eat it too? I have a Benchmark DAC-1 with a great headphone section. And I've spent a fair amount on headphones, but I can't seem to find any with a closed back that both sound good and I can wear for more than a few hours. Here's what I've tried...

ok i've read some arguments for and against these two headphones , which if i'm to understand correctly, are the same, but with slight or big differences like the jack/plug and cord? what about internally? or the aesthetics ? (not important) I think its impossible to find a 'made in japan'...

Alrighty well I'm looking to buy a new pair of headphones. I've done a bit of research but I would love a second opinion from you guys!   Here's all the info I can think of that'll help   My price range is around 50-70 USD I play alot of games (FPS, RTS and the like) I plan on using...

I have my Sony MDR V-6 for just more than one year and lately they started acting weird. When plugged normally they don't play one channel, so for example in some YouTube videos and video games I can only hear background sounds, but no voices. But when I pull the plug out a little (1-2mm) they...

For some strange deranged reflex impulse insane reason, I purchased yet another headphone Tuesday. It was the Sony 7506. See, it's this board which can sometimes make you do crazy things. The V6 is not available here, so based on the discussion on the similarity to the 7506, I decided to demo...

This is a review of one of my favorite headphones. I've been using it for quite awhile and love it. KRK seems to have gotten nearly everything right with this headphone. I'd feel really bad if I didn't review such a great (and severely overlooked) headphone. This time around I'm not going to...

So I bought a pair of MDR-V6's and decided to apply some of the Grado mods to them. What surprised me is how much they remind me of Grados now. Obviously there are differences but these have replaced my sr-80i's as my go to headphones.   The mods: Dynamat covered back Silver Plated Cable...

Hi First of all I want to apologize because there probably are threads that compare these two headphones; I just haven't found them. I am looking to buy a new pair of headphones to replace my Sennheiser EH-150 headphones. It seems that no sound comes out of the left ear. I did some...

It seems that my headphones, after a couple months, had its wiring messed up. I know it's messed up inside the coiled cable because at a certain part I could squeeze it and the sound in the right ear works again. Is there a way to fix this?

So they are going for 65$. I'm a little shocked as that priced is relatively low considering the "legendary" status these headphones posses. Is amazon's listing trusted ? Why are they going for this cheap if they're that good?!...  ...

I recently got the Beyerdynamic velour pads for my Sony MDR-V6 headphones. I love them; they're so comfortable!   The velours came with two plastic pieces, which were the same size as the pads. I did not use them when I installed the velours onto the MDR-V6. Are they needed for the MDR-V6...

I love my bose tri-ports, but alas, they're not longer being sold and its replacement (AE2) isn't holding up to its legacy of great sound quality. One pair is broken and the other isn't aging well.   I'm in the market for headphones ~$150. I'm a software engineer and may go 12 hours straight...

So I have been looking at a lot of heaphones that have a nice bass response for hip hop and rap type genre that sounds clear and delivers pretty hard. I have come up with a list of a few I am interested in, my price range is to about 150$ including amp if it would help.     XB500 Sony...

Bought a pair of Shure SE215s. I got them yesterday in the mail. How long did they last? 22.5 hours.(left side went dead)   More than half of those were spent in their case. Seriously??? If I pay $100 for a set of IEMs I expect them to last longer than this! Actually If I buy some for $15 I...

I'm glad I'm so lazy about throwing old stuff away. Recently I've been dealing with some TMJ issues, so I needed a much more relaxed fit than my trusty HD280 Pro could provide. (You can imagine what those things were doing to my jaw hinge....) I put on my old HD590s that I'd been neglecting for...

Hello guys! Since my IEMs have failed my I want to try some full size headphones. I want to stay under $100(the IEMs I returned cost this much).    I was looking at the reviews for the Sony V6 headphones and it looks to me like they are a over 20 years old design. Are they still a good deal...

I finally purchased some new headphones. After using my Sony V6's for the past 10 years I thought it was time for something new.  I've lurked around here and settled on the Beyerdynamic DT-990's, 600 ohm version.  Got them today and they sound great.     They sound good connected to the av...

For several years, I have been using Sony's excellent MDR-V6 Headphones for everything from audio monitoring of recording samples and music to listening to my FLAC / ALAC collection to listening to movies to walking around town with my iPhone. However, I've had them for quite some time, and they...

Have a pair of beyer 770DT that I love but are soooooo hot to wear ...have the "velour" cups on them and suspect leather would be no different. What do you all do ?

Many of us Headwizers seem to be asking about headphones for use with portables, or without an amp. [Myself being one of them] These seem to be the most common suggestions, and it seems like a close race, so why not have a poll? If you would like to comment on why you chose what you chose...

Hey everyone,      I have a pair of MDR-V6s that have seen me through two years of skiing on Mt. Hood -- on the hill & off... needless to say it's been a tough life for them.  I have had to replace the jack on them twice (they sounded just as good afterwards so I know I did it right, haha)...

Hey guys!    I got Monster Turbines in ear headphones a week ago and they just stop working.   So, I have decided to try out some full size headphones, but I have no idea what to get.   My price limit is $100   I want headphones with sound equal to the turbines(I like bass). I am...

Hey there, all    Figured before I get to the review I'd do a small run-down on me, as this i my first review. I'm a 2 year headphone fanatic, having worked as a retailer and headphone go-to guy at my work. I've been using Head-fi to bolster my knowledge for most of that time, and seriously...

Browsed through head-fi before but never posted, so hello! Started getting interested in audio gear when I got a pair of maximo im-490s for my sansa and realized how much better they sounded compared to the stock earbuds. Since then only thing I've gotten were px100's after some research (some...

First, I have to apologize for not getting this review out sooner. I've been way too busy with other work lately, and chose to just put this on the back burner until I have got some time freed up. RH5ma was a hot topic of debate for a little while. There were very few experiences with them...
