The sr950 has deeper sub bass to please people looking for a clearer, less bassy xb500 but the sr850 has far more details in the mids and a better soundstage. The xb500s are better for bass music and rock when you EQ them, but the sr850 sound more realistic, spacious and work for every type of...

So yesterday i tested out the JBL J55 and REALLY liked them, i felt that the build quality was better than my sony xb500s. Upon going online, i found that the j88(over ear) are 10-20$ more depending on if i want these 2day(prime on amazon) or regular 5 day(ebay). i then began to compare...

I was wondering this cause i saw alot of "this is good for" with no mention of electronic and other bass heavy genres, which is what ill primarily be listening to. Im lost on what i should get, and afraid that i might buy something that wont go well with my sony mdr-xb 500. Please help.

Hello all, I have seen a lot of posts on this site about the 500s being reviewed, and I have seen others comparing the 800s, 600s, etc. I have not found anything that has just compared the two. The reason I am only asking about these two is because I will be able to get a pair of 500s for $110...

Hello All!   So I want some headphones for work, so they must be sealed and I have Sens HD212Pro but I want something better. I like a tight fit and great bass...but as balanced as possible as well. I really want to go with the Sony 500 but I also read about the JVC. I am open to others as...

    I bought the Citiscape Downtown three weeks ago after A/Bing them, the Citiscape Uptown and the Skullcandy Aviators. They cost me $99.99 plus tax at Best Buy. I’m sure I made the right choice.   Packaging:   The headphones are packaged too well. Don’t get any ideas about trying...

I have the Sennheiser HD335 and while they sound nice and clean, I realize I'm missing any kind of omph I am looking for. I listen to a lot of Skrillex and Deadmau5, along with the fair amount of hip hop. These earphones don't really kick my face in like I want. I tried my brothers Skullcandy...

I have every headphone I've ever wanted. An airy headphone (q701), a balanced closed back (q701), an orthodynamic (t50rp), an aesthetic portable (mdr1rmk2). But now that I want bass, the XB500 is nowhere to be found in Toronto, Canada. I really want to avoid online orders because I have over...

I own monster turbine pro gold and MDR-XB500.   I like how my turbines sound. I prefer warmer sound that they give. I listen to club/hip hop/pop pretty much everything.   I narrowed my choices too   MDR-1R   Sol Republic 1601-30 Master Tracks Over-Ear Headphones (I like how they fit)...

Who Here has had a guilty pleasure of waning for the constant feeling for more Bass from Headphones easily driven from an Ipod or CD Player without the need for a Headphone DAC or Amp?   or wanted headphones that looked original, fresh, and cool/ innovative looking?   or just wanted to...

On-ear have an advantage (in my opinion)... ...to be more portable (but I feel like a lot of over-ear can fold away into a small package for travel [ex. UE4000 versus UE6000], so this doesn't seem like an advantage. Furthermore, IEM tend to be more portable than on-ear) ...on-ear models...

does anyone know of any deep, about 1-1.25 inch on the inside, ear pads. i will be modding my v-moda crossfade lp, as the pads simply are not deep enough for me. they cause discomfort after about 20 minutes of use. they need to be about 3 7/8 inches tall and 2 3/4 wide oval or hexagonal pads...

I'm not an audiophile, but my main concern in headphones is audio clarity. I've had the audio technica m30s for awhile now and I was wondering what the next headphonesi should buy be. I was thinking m50s, Sony mdr-xb500, v-moda crossfade lp or something under $200 that doesn't need an amp...

Thinking about these cans,coming from the ATH-M50 do these have ALOT more bass? If amped with the Fiio E11 and adding +3db of bass? Source is iPod Touch 5g. Blah blah blah I know its a downgrade in terms of Sq but my focus is bass. Im more of a sub-bass man and I hear these have sub-bass thats...

I have been searching around for a new set of phones and as many reviews are out there, very few specify if they are suitable for small heads. I wear an extra small crash helmet if that helps, I have also been into sony sound systems for as long as I can remember as I have always enjoyed there...

So I'm working my way up the audiophile ladder and I got enough funds to get another pair. I'm not ready to dish out lots of money just yet on head gear :) but I'm getting there.   I'm basically looking for PORTABLE head gear, whether it be iem's or over the head (I prefer these since I...

Hi, I'm a absolute noob at headphones and stuff so bare with me!   Basically I want some headphones for my ipod which make the bass sound sick, with a very good vibration feel and just headphones that deliver the bass the best!   I have no idea about headphones and all the decibels and...

I have tried a few pairs of headphones around the $100- $200 range(ath-m50, Creative live, MDR XB-500, v-modas, beats， boses), but ended up returning all of them due to the fact that they are uncomfortable to my ears. Although I can wear the Koss portapros for longer than a hour, they still hurt...

http://www.mp4nation.net/headphones/headphones-earphones/brainwavz/brainwavz-r3-dual-dynamic-iem-earphones I wonder how they perform. At the pre-order price I think it is worth a try, full price? Hmmm not so sure. Prices are going down while sound quality gets better and better.

Greeting Everybody!   First of all, I am a new Member of Head-Fi, but have been lurking for sometime.  There is huge amount of extremely helpful information (unfortunately mixed in with an equal amount of useless/misguided information) that has helped me appreciate my music more than ever...

Title says it all. I work in a noisy warehouse environment and want some cheaper ear buds to listen to. I have a pair of Sony MDR-XB500 headphones that I have fallen in love with and have grown accustomed to their sound. I don't necessarily need all the bass, but some emphasis would be nice. I'm...

I have until tomorrow morning to cancel my order.   I bought a sansa clip+ for $29 and I was going to rockbox it so I could EQ these headphones (from what I've read, they EQ well). I can't decide between whether I should just get these or save up a bit more and wait for something like the...
