My XB500's burnt out and I want something well balanced with a slight bass emphasis, the bass on the XB's was too muddy for me. I don't plan on getting an amp. Any suggestions?

Ok all you head-fi'ers, I have a challenge for you. I want the BEST headphones for under $100, though I'm not really an "audiophile". Right now I have a pair of Sony XB-500s ($70), but they feel cheap, aren't good at keeping in sound, and are pretty bulky. Also I have found that the bass and...

Hello guys! I’m new to the headphones world and i need your help! I’m a stating audiophile (sounds funny I know :D) and i have really hard times choosing myself a good pair of cans. The place where i live there is almost no good headphones, so i can’t try out anything myself and i don’t have...

Hello again, Head-Fi. Today, I need some help from a few resident bass heads like myself. Here is my situation. I already have the Sony XB500. I want more bass. I can get more bass from my FiiO E7 and E11, but I want even MORE bass (both in quality and quantity) My budget is $150. I love more...

Hello, all! I'm looking for great headphones for dubstep. I'm talking super bassy bass. I love the level of bass beats have, but they're way too expensive and over priced. On-ear prefered. Thank you for any help! I was looking at the sol republic tracks. Are they good for dubstep? My friend has...

        Hello,  As you could probably tell by me not knowing anything I'm doing, I'm new around here. But I have one question. I am interested in up-grading from Beats by Dre (Solos) And BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING, because I know how you all love Beats.. I am very aware that they are very...

Its down to these two. Im looking for a set of headphones that I can wear comfortably for hours on end while studying. I listen to a very diverse mix of music. Folk, Classical, Jazz, Rock, Rap, Hip-hop, literally EVERYTHING. I know that the Sony's have some extra bass in them (or so I have read)...

This is pretty personal, or at least it can be.   The Question Is Simple: ################   What made you a Head-Fier?   What made you listen to what you listen to? What made you buy what you bought?   What was the Game-Changer?   It is not a closed topic - go ahead and...

Hey guys   I've been a long time lurker and learned many things from your useful insights. I wanted to buy new headphones and trawled the internet for different ones. I came up with a top 5 list, narrowed it down to perhaps 3.    I read MalVeauX's terrific review of the M-Audio...

Hi. Right now I use Sony MDR-V6 and XB500 with a Fiio E5 amp for gaming on my Xbox 360. How well would these two of my headphones work with the ASTRO Mixamp Pro for gaming? Any thoughts on this setup? Thanks.   Talking about this: http://www.astrogaming.com/mixamps/mixamp-usb

Hi,   I am looking for a pair of headphones/earbuds that have some really strong bass. I listen to Rap/Hip Hop.  I bought a pair of Monster Turbine Gold Pro ($350), because i read they were great for bass. After 1 week, i returned them, and learned the difference between Audophile Bass, and...

Hey, I've been visiting these forums occasionally for over a year now, but have never really had any gear that would allow me to experience very good sound quality. I'm hoping to change that now.   I'm looking for closed, circumaural headphones, below 70$, and I'm of course, speaking of...
