Hey all. Upon taking a new job; I'm now in a shared cubicle environment, and i'm finding the ambient noise distracting.  I've been using a pair of Sen MX 880's for a few years without complaints; but I think i'm in need of a bit more isolation.       My thoughts being comfort and isolation...

JVC HA-D990 opinion. First of all I like to say this is not really an audio-review, it is more of a list of impressions I have collected about this headphones after a week using them. I just hope the most experienced people with better equipment that bought the cans will follow this thread...

Welcome, fellow headphone wearer.   My headphones keep breaking.   What kind of over-ear headphones will get me the best durability? My budget is $100, but I would, of course, prefer a serviceable product below $50. From what I have read and worn, Bose, Skullcandy, Zalman...

Its very easy to move from one to the other,i used to listen to headphones only in the house and during that period i became a 'SCS'  - serial can swapper. I became obsessed with the technical abilities of my newest cans and eventually ended up often listening to small sections of tracks and...

I am wondering which is a better. I want something with good sound quality overall and a  of bass,considerable amount I've read that the hd 448's have inadequate bass for tehcno, electro, house, trance. I am also wondering if I get the hd 438's will the enhanced bass make the songs that have...

Hi, i am in a bit of a bind here. I have purchased Beyedynamic DT 990 600 ohms without doing much research based on their quality. I love how they sound but are very quiet, i have looked into this and learned it is because i do not have an amp. I would like to use these type of headphones...

Hey guys, Lurked here a bit but this is my first post.  I crunched my ha-rx700's and they need replacing.  I have a BIT more of a budget this time around, up to $70, and I'm wondering if there's a better choice compared to the 700's (which I did love).     They need to be suitable for...

Hi, just found those in a thrift store. I had a quick listen with my cmoy - bass not to boomy, and they do have some soundstage. After listening ten seconds, I was convinced that they were worth the price. Now at home - compared to the Sennheiser HD497, they sound a lot more emotional...

i want a headphone that cant be heard by people around me since its mostly for airtravel and that's kind of the point of a headphone i know that most entry level audiophile headphone is open air so  people around the user can hear what playing in the headphone so around 100bucks on any site...

hifi headphones from normal cheap earbuds? The best headphones I've had are $30 earbuds from Sony, and I'm about to get a pair of M50's. Will the difference be astounding, or only something appreciated by audiophiles?

While I'm no where near an expert, I've spent enough time to get some ideas on how the things are.  Of course, there is a certain level of generalization I've done to make the points, but in overall, I think, it make sense.   Those who are new to this hobby if you think about where you fit...

All,   I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but I have spent several hours scouring the web for answers to two questions and can't seem to find them. I just purchased a pair of Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones and would appreciate any information that someone here could offer.   1...

Hi, I am looking for really comfortable headphones with similar(or even better hopefully) comfort than Bose AE2 but cheaper.  I am new to this and have no plans to get the Bose but am using them as an example because they at least seemed to me quite comfortable and I could see having them on...

I have always had a difficult time knowing what I like about the sound of different speakers, amps, headphones, etc. I've usually just known that I like something better than something else. So I'm wondering if some people could give their descriptions of the sound of some things to maybe help...

Hey guys, I've been creeping the boards for the last few days researching and I can't just figure out what I want to buy. I'm not a crazy audiophile but I do appreciate good sound.   I am looking for some headphones/sets that I can use for mainly skype/ventrilo, games, and music (indie rock...

I have a pair of Pearstone deluxe pads from BHPhoto, which I use on my V6. But there is a more popular mod with the Beyer pads instead. I'm not sure why more people prefer to have that because there is no felt backing for dust protection. Am I the only one paranoid about dust in the drivers?  ...
