So I would like some new mixing headphones , I am torn between: Senn hd280 Shure srh440 Sony v6 Audio technica m50 Please give some pros and cons and comparisons of each... Also, should i get an amp or is the sound card in the 2011 MacBook pro good enough?

Hello everyone!   I finally decided to get myself headphones for office use in an attempt to increase productivity...so after reading a few reviews over at headphone.com I first took a look at the Grado's SR 60i but I really disliked the looks and I'm looking for something that can block a...

I've been reading headfi for a few months now as I get more and more interested in headphone listening.   I'm looking to get a pair of closed cans that I'll be using for home use and some travel in cars and maybe busses later on. I have porta-pros, which I really enjoy listening to, but I...

I was just curious what the difference is between these two cans? I often see people refer to them as if they were the same headphones, but it seems the 7506 costs about $20 more? Also, how would you rate the comfort on either/both of these? I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 477, which...

there has been a great deal of discussion about the v6 and the 7506 headphones being the same, aside from some cosmetic differences. almost all of the comments i've been able to find are hearsay: "i've heard they are the same cans", etc. i know macdef has a hybrid pair with a v6 earcup on one...

All,   I sit behind a desk all day writing code and I'm tired of these iPod earbuds and their terrible quality, so I'm making the financial investment of a good pair of headphones.    Requirements: Good sound quality (duh) Comfy! - I will have these babys on for eight hours a day. ...

First and foremost: Great forums. These are a great resource, and I appreciate everything the users here are and continue to do.   I've been looking for a pair of comfortable headphones that can do double-duty as a primary listening device at home and secondarily for travel. Here's what...

This topic came to me when I realized I had accidentally downloaded a crappy remixed version of a good song onto my iPod. I was listening to my M50's, and when this song came on I thought the headphones had broke. I have some older and live recordings where you know that any problems are just...

I have the denon d2000 and think they are great. But I’m looking for something with a larger soundstage with even better mids (more clear, detailed, transparent, and realistic).I don't really care about having less bass as I have good amps with good sources to cleanly boost the bass. I’m torn...

Currently I have a problem: I live in Finland and it is nearly impossible to find ETD:s, the cheapest being for dv247.com, for mighty 34 euros, and bhphotovideo.com, for an outrageous 50 euros (shipping).   So I'm asking: are there any pads that are similar enough to be used? My V-6s are...

Okay so I have recently decided the upgrade my headphones and I saw these for a good price online but when I did some research I found relatively positive reviews except for this website. I'm quite confused why there is so much hate for these headphones I mean they look really nice. Also a big...

Hi All,   Just got a pair of T1's a few days ago, upgraded from my HD555's, and they sound amazing. Except for one thing; my ears are too big. This was the very first thing I noticed when I put them on, that the size & shape of the 555 ear cups were much more comfortable than the T1's. The...

Any thoughts? Would It be good for making House oriented music on FL Studio and for casually listening to music (House/RnB/ Dubstep/ Drum & Bass/ Electro.) Also If anyone else have and other recommendations for some cans that would also be very nice.

hello there! - long time reader, first time poster, looking for a bit of advice.   my favorite portable cans - equation rp-15mc - have died recently and are beyond repair (snapped plastic pivot)   unfortunately equation don't make these any more otherwise i'd get another set as they were...

Some background.   I'm looking for closed headphones on the ~60e range. I've heard lots of praise for them and found an excellent deal on Amazon for 46£. On the other hand, at nearly identical price I can get HD215 of which I've heard tons of praise. Is there any noticeable difference in...

My MDR-V6s are old and very broken. My parents gave me "consumer" "beats by dre" for christmas, which were promptly stolen (not to mention mediocre and overpriced). So I'm looking to get some new cans, for about 140$. Now I know there are plenty of sites and old threads that could tell me which...

This thread may seem a bit silly but I want some input on pair(s) of headphones that has the right amount of bass, not too bassy or not bass anemic. For example, the K70x is often complained by some that it is bass anemic, while the Denon D2/5/7k is considered to be too bassy by others. I'm...

Hey guys, I wanted to focus the topic of the thread I started the other day (IEM vs. hd 580 and amp options). Except for what the title already says I want to add that I'm mostly looking for a mixing headphone, and that detail, separation and extension are my top priorities. Also, I'll be using...

OK, so when i first got the m50s i felt that they felt pretty comfortable except for the fact that my right ear felt a little fatigued after a little while. I heard about the foam removal mod and tried it out and liked that the sound was more clear and detailed. Unfortunately, I could feel my...

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...

Hi,   I listen to rock/jazz/classical/folk on flac using foobar2000/wasapi. My collection includes poorly mastered hyper-compressed rock/jazz recordings (think about the Stooges-Raw Power or anyone of the early Blue Note RVG remasters) as well as audiophile classical/acoustic recordings -...

I can't find any other UK sellers of V6's apart from amazon. And the ones on amazon are sold by 'extended deals' and fulfilled by amazon. As they are fulfilled by amazon does that mean they can't be fake? Is it a risk to get them? Thanks in advance for the help :)...

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...

  So i need new cans, as an upgrade from my current HD 201's i listen to Djent, Psyc rock, D'n'B and Prog, so i want great bass, but i want great clarity at the same time ive got $70 Aud and managed to find MDR-V6's, HD448, HD 428, Harx700, MDR-XB500/700's Computer Card, Ipod, possibly...
