Firstly, I am fully aware headphones do not compete with dedicated studio monitors. I do own a set of monitors and I'm happy with them. However due to its convenience I find myself producing with headphones on my laptop a lot, (sennheiser hd25-2s) My observations is that the hd25s are too bass...

This is the best price I've seen for MDR-V6 brand new.    I have several different headphones including Sennheiser HD650 and 597 and I seem to always come back to my venerable Sony MDR-v6   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00001WRSJ/ref=pe_58260_120308890_em_1p_0_ti

Hi guys, first time posting here so I hope this is the right part of the forum to do this!   Just wanting some advice really.   I'm after some new headphones to use as portable monitors (preferably cup, not in ear) I'm a music Tech lecturer and I need something with a reliable fairly...

Hello.  I am an avid house, trance, and dnb listener.  I owned a pair of sony MDR-V600's that i got many years ago as a gift but they broke.  I am now in need of new headphones.  I will mainly be using them at home and wont be using them on the go so size is no matter.  I really am just looking...

Greetings, seldom-poster here, though I have lurked quite a bit.  I'm in need of a suggestion or 2 (I've read a bunch, but would like to hear from you all):   Let me start off by saying I love my DT770-Pro80s.  They've been my first step into the world of higher quality headphones and for me...

So I am looking at purchasing some new headphones and getting away from the uncomfortable Dre. Dre studios I got awhile back. So the two major headphones that are on my list are the M-100s that I always hear good reviews about and the Beyerdynamic 990's that I have been told by friends that are...

This is my first attempt at thinking about getting amp/dac for a headphone.  My source will be primarily be my laptop through usb.   I hear/read that these headphones can sound more "smooth" and "transparent" when you give it more juice... not just to further increase volume but also refine...

If price is no barrier, based on sound quality alone which would you choose: the Sony mdr-v6 of the mdr-1r?     And I know this sounds silly but how much of a difference in sound quality between let's say a low-end headphone, the mdr-xd100 and these high-end headphones )mdr-v6 and mdr-1r)?

I presently have a cheap pair of Sony mdr-xd100 headphones. My question is: Is it worth shelling out an extra $90 for the increase in audio quality, by upgrading to an mdr-v6, or should I keep my present headphones? Because if, for example, I will get essentially the same frequency response from...

I'm looking to buy new headphones to wear when going out and comfort is a must. I currently own the M50's and find them to be bulky and uncomfortable and can't wear for more than an hour. I've been looking at the Sony V6's since I have DT 250 velour pads and I've been reading a lot of good...

Hello everyone, I am new here, but I've been reading a lot of forums trying to decide which headphones i would use. I did compile a relatively large list of headphones that i am considering and i would love some advice from you guys for purchasing my first set of pretty legit headphones. The...

I figured the thread title summed up what I'm looking for the quickest. I've been around Head-Fi for some time. I've probably bought every budget everything over the years.   I am a huge Queen fan but I also listen to a lot of different things. From David Gray to Dark Tranquility, from ZZ...

I have been shopping around for the past 2 weeks for a good set of budget headphones for the office. As such it would have to be closed back; I can't stand in-ear. Leaking is an issue, sound isolation is not; it is a quiet office and hearing people talking to me would be more a boon than a...

Hi, so I have these Corsair HS1A headphones with a microphone which is basically a gaming headset and I'm willing to buy a good headphone up to 80$ max and found these Sony MDR-V6. How do you think mine would compare to these? I never really had good headphones so what should I do? Would they...

I'm about to make an order to thomann with some friends... and I was about to buy some new headphones. I have some simple Sennheiser HD215's right now. When I use them for producing, I only use them for arranging and composing, not mixing, because I've had a bad experience from previous...

Hi.   My old Sennheiser HD 428 gave out this week. I am not a big audiophile, and there would be too much background noise to fully appreciate the audio quality anyhow. I have a budget of $50 and I'm looking for the headphones with the best isolation of outside noise. As long as the...

Sorry for the double post guys but I really need help and my last post didn't get any love :( Hey guys, I recently purchased Astro A40s but due to them having lots of errors with the audio dropping out, I have decided that I am just going to buy a pair of headphones. I would like them for gaming...

I'm no audiophile, I'm just a idiotic teen, so excuse my ignorance...all I am is a lover of good sound. And the destroyer apparently (one side of every pair of headphones I get goes out on one side within month or so of falling under my ownership...dozens so far--most of my family's...I dunno...

So here's the deal, I'm 16 and I'm into recording etc. I'm a multi-instrumentalist musician but I mainly play guitar. I'm badly in need of good studio headphones with a [more or less] flat frequency response. I want to get the AKG K240s but my mom says she doesn't think I need 60 dollar...

First of all i dont have so much experience but i have seen that it is full of experts over here and since i desperately need some information here i go : My problem is that i am looking for some over ear monitoring headphones to master the genres i submitted in the title (Electronic /...

My HA-RX700s just broke, and I hate buying the same thing twice in a row.. Is there anything better for around $50? I figure since these were $50 when I bought them, and can be found for less than $30 now, I should be able to get something better than them for $50.

Hello head-fi. I'm on vacation in New York this week, and in the States until January, and my goodness is it cold. As the title suggests, I'm using my portable sets while out and about, and I wanted to hear from people who have visited or live in cold countries (cold enough for snow, etc.); is...

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy some over ear headphones, with my price range being around $100.00 give or take. I'm thinking about getting the Bose AE2, but I'd appreciate any other recommendations and your input, thanks! :)

 Detachable seems the way to go it seems. You can easily replace a cable, have options, and it acts like a break-away if you get too excited.  I'm no expert, but the only pro to fixed cables seems that they DON'T pop out, which could be annoying.    Your thoughts?

I'm interested in buying a pair of sub $150 headphones. Now, I'm not really asking for opinions on the headphones, per-se (but you can leave yours).   It's come to these choices.   Audio Technica ATH-M50 ~ $110 KRK KNS-8400 ~ $100 Sony MDR-V6 ~ $60 Sennheiser HD 280 ~ $70  ...
