    Need Experienced Opinions, Gaming/Multimedia Setup

      I've asked assistance on this of others, and once in another thread, but I believe that thread was far too fast-paced for my question to keep up x]. I have been on my search for a good setup of gaming & music equipment for a while, though I've been focusing more on finishing up my computer...

    Would you wear full sized headphones with a coiled cable in public?

    JUST order the ATH M50s for $90 off of ebay (the seller had 100% positive feedback too and seemed to develop a rep selling M50's). First pair of headphones over $50 and I mainly bought them for the sound, design, and "portability". However, I've never seen anyone with a coiled cable in public...

    Quick MDR XB500 Question

    Hey guys, I am planning to get the XB500 headphones tomorrow, but I have a few questions,   Is it worth the 70 dollars I am going to spend on it?   Is it very muddy, or is it EQ-able?   How would I set the equalizer if I need to?   and is the bass badass enough for dubstep? :D...

    Audio Technica ATH-M35

    So there's really not a whole lot been said about these headphones. They're sold at my Local Best-Buy and Future shop for $79.00, $53 online but apparently were about $135.00 when released retail.  I'm aware that Audio-Technica tends to boost their headphones with overpricing... And from...

    Newbie looking for headphones just tried the Soul SL150/SL300, AH-D2000 & Sony XB300/500/1000

      I've been reading these forums for over a week now and thought I'd join up and tell you guys how it went listening to a bunch of headphones today. I live in Hong Kong.   I started out with the AH-D2000 and straight away liked the focus on bass. The cups were comfortable and I found them...

    Sony XB500 | Wear & Tear

    Hey Fellow Audiophiles!!,   I'm noob when it comes to headphones, sound and it's technical knowledge, but I'm slowly reading up on the terminology to grasp what I need to know so bear with me. Plus, I'm finding this technical know-how seem to be quiet interesting!!!   So my question is...

    XB-500s Box? Old Russian Orthos? AKG k530s?

    So basically i found a local market that sells the xb-500s, I tried them on and they felt amazing. Yet I wasnt quite convinced by the sound. they seem to have the same ammount of bass as my cheap SHP2700s, so i'm suspecting that they're fake. Anyone have a xb-500s box that they know is genuine...

    Friend Looking For "Bass Heavy" Headphones

    My friend is looking for some new headphones since his cat destroyed his. The request is to find a pair that have a lot of bottom end. Price is not an issue, but powering them is. He will be using a cell phone most of the time, without a portable amp. Suggestions for bass heavy headphones?

    M50 or something else

    Can some one tell me exactly how bassy is the M50? As far as i can tell they are only slightly bassy, if that is the case what's the most bassy headphone in that price range (sub$200)? I prefer as much bass as possible without having to sacrifice details.   PS: I hate the way the sony XB...

    Anyone know how the Shure SRH440 compares to the Sony xb500? Using Audio Via Bluetooth

    Im using the Sony Ericsson MW600 to stream audio from either laptops or a Motorola DC800 bluetooth transmitter connected to the receiver.   I have been using a Motorola S805 Bluetooth headset, but the sound was "flat" (sorry, no expert in sound) so i got the mw600 to stream audio with any...

    Best Headphones for Rock Around $50?

    My father is in the market for headphones, he wants to use them at home and at work without disturbing other employees. He does not have an external amp or dac so they will have to sound decent out of a work computer. He will be using them with Spotify so sound quality isn't his #1 priority...

    Sennheiser HD 201 vs HD 202 vs HD 203?

    So, head-fi, I have been wanting to pick one or two cans out of this line for a while now, ever since my brother got the 203's. I was wondering what the pro's and cons were of the separate headphones... I heard the HD 201's have the right amount of bass, while lacking isolation... Whereas I...

    Starter's headphone map

    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...

    Please help me find my first set of "real" cans.

    I'm looking for a set of headphones.  My location precludes me from demoing...anything, and audiophilia is a nonexistant hobby here--the only cans you can buy for over 50 bucks are labeled by a certain over-the-hill rapper.  I tried that "New headphones here" thread, and didn't get any responses...
