Hi guys, new to the forrum... Headphones usually aren't my thing; I have a sexy Kef/onkyo Hi-Fi setup which i love more than my own left arm (yes, the right is the yanking arm). Unfortunately no one else around me shares a passion for turning the house into a pumping trance rave or fleetwood mac...

as we all know most good quality soundingheadphones (if not all) need to be burned in for the best quality sound and i have heard that to burn in headphones it can range from 20-100 hours! some youtuber said he burned them in for about 30 hours of high volume (about 80%) for 20 hours and...

Hello, excuse me if I opened a thread on purpose, but it will possible to collect more opinions to the product I'm looking for. I have an mp3 player Creative Zen http://imago.techtop.it/d/2665-1/071204-Creative-Zen.jpg I want to buy headphones with heavy bass, deep, extended but not with...

Hey guys, my headphones (hfi 580's) have alot of punchy bass to them and i prob wont upgrade soon but i was just wondering, are there any headphones out there that sound like that?   I keep getting jealous when i get into a car with a decent sound system :/

I am in the market for buying headphones under $100 for use on bus and my laptop so which should I get.   http://www.amazon.com/Numark-Professional-Over-Ear-Headphones-Rotating/dp/B004M13GA4/ref=sr_1_20?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1369584998&sr=1-20&keywords=headphones  ...

So SMS Audio just released some new "DJ Pro" headphones, and I'm curious to see how they compare to their previous releases. InnerFidelity seemed like he really did not like the sound quality on the older ones, especially the wireless ones. However, and hear me out, sometimes the more popular...

This is what I'm looking for: -durable -emphasized bass (I'm a bass head) -closed back (I don't want too much sound to bleed out) -noise canceling and/or isolating (I'm not using these words interchangeably, I'm asking for either both or one or the other) So far I've looked at: -Beyerdynamic...

Apparently, Sony.ca has listed some headphones that are currently not available in the states. This would be awesome if they did come back to Canada!!     Right now, they're listed Out of Stock, but here are the headphones that could make a possible return:   XD100, XD200, XD300  ...

Quick history: I have owned a pair of Sony MDR-xb500 for the past 3 years. I listened to them every single day for quite afew hours (long study hours). They were so worn and used that the ear pad leather was mostly pealed off but they were the most amazing headphones ever every time I put them...

Hey guys! This is my first time posting on here because i seek professional advice :) Im looking for headphones that are over ears under $300. Before i get into specifics, i just wanted to say that i listen to Dance, Electronic house music so not very much guitar or instruments in what i listen...

I currently have the XB500, XB700 and DT770/80s for cans. XB500 is too boxy, although i like the punch. Lacking just a hint of sub bass compared to the XB700. XB700 is more resolving than the XB500, I would prefer it be a bit more darker. DT770/80, still my fav but has a sharp treble spike...

I recently sold my Astro A40s, which were specifically for gaming, for a new headset. It would be used for gaming but it is NOT the primary purpose. Mostly want it so i can listen to music (dubstep/trap) so good bass is reallllllllly wanted, which is the reason im getting a new headset. Used for...

These headphones have been amazing to me, indestructable, sound quality is good comparing to my old Sennheisers, and im considering an upgrade from these bad boys, specifically in the $50-$85 dollar range in the Miami FLorida area, but i can buy online.   Ive been thinking of some audio...

Hi, I've been looking at new headphones for a while. I'm mainly looking in the $100 - $150 range. I currently have the Sony MDR XB500 set, I love them, but I'm looking for something more durable and better sounding. After using this set for over 2 years, my standards concerning comfortability...

I own an Astell & Kern AK120 which I bought 3 months ago. I bought it to replace my 11 year old iPod. Now, you may struggle to understand or believe this, but I cannot tell the difference in sound quality between the two devices. I play FLAC files on the Astell & Kern AK120 with the Graphic...

Hi audio lovers! I've been looking for bass earphones recently and I kinda need your help. So I've been with my Sony MDR XB-500 headphones for a few years now, never disappointed me, vibrating powerful bass, most enjoyable bass I've heard so far, the way it makes my entire ear vibrate is...

I just upgraded from my Sony MDR-XB500s to the Sennheiser HD 558s and I was slightly disappointed when I first wore them on and realized they weren't as comfortable as the XB500s.   And then I wondered what the most comfortable headphones of all time were and I created this thread.   [Insert...

I would like the best headphone for the money that can fullfill some requirements: - Closed-back - Great for hip-hop/rap - Low impedence so I can drive them with my iphone - As I said before the most bang for my buck - Velour pads or replacement velour pads available - Good bass that doesn't...

So, I recently spotted a pair of broken Sony XB500's on eBay for $15 and snagged them for cannibalization. The pads were in good condition, which was a huge plus. On the downside, they came from a heavy smokers home, so they do smell a bit. Anyway, here is a picture of them half taken apart:  ...

Hi all people, i want to share a amazing story. I have had the Sony xb500 headphones for a long time until yesterday one of the driver stopped working. I look around and saw that the XB500 is no longer being produced. I was very disappointing because they were something unique that no other...

Hey guys, I'm a new person here on the head-fi forums. But anyways I'm here today to ask "What is the best headphones for under $50?" I listen to electronic music (edm, Dubstep, Chillstep), things that are within that genre. Oh and I would like to buy them from amazon. So basically I'm asking...

Hello everyone I created this new thread because I'm chasing a new pair of headphones. I watched a lot of videos on youtube and read about the XB500's from Sony and most people say that are one of the best bass headphones on the market but the problem is that I can't find anymore in UK or my...
