I'm looking for new headphones focusing on comfort preferably closer to $100($200 absolute max). I'm currently using the BeyerDynamic DT990. I wear them most days for at least 10 hours. The DT990s are very comfortable, but towards the end of the day their weight(close to 300g) is noticeable and...

I wouldn't call it an issue but out of all the headphones I've tried (mostly in the $50-100 category) have been uncomfortably to the point that it makes my right ear in particular burn near the tip, it's strange, and I thought it was an issue until I tried a friends XB700s which were like...

Hello all :)   I was originally looking at the Sony MDR-XB700, but they are suddenly out of stock everywhere and cannot be found. So i am looking for an alternative.    Obviously, I care alot about bass. Both how deep they go, and bass quantity/quality. But I want an overall nice...

  Hello , I was first thinking of buying a pair of vmoda crossfades but i think they will be a bit expensive and i want to have some spare money in case i need something.  I was thinking of buying a pair of Sony mdr-xb700's since i can get those easily in Holland ( a lot of brands are not...

Hey all! I'm Dreeb. I've been to this forum several times, just for researching purposes. Up until more recently, I've usually just googled things and one of the first options would be a thread on here. Now I peruse the forums constantly for information.   I'm a newbie to the audiophile world...

hey guys, i'm a bit lost deciding on what headphones i should get with my budget of 50 to 70 pounds.    I would describe myself as a 'newbie audiophile', i can tell when headphones are bad or have highs that are too harsh, mids that are too forward etc, the slightest bit of distortion annoys...

Hey whats up guys, completely new on this site. I'd like to start out by saying that I love music quality, and love listening to music through headphones that play the music, not music that plays the headphones. Anyways, for about a year now I've had the Bose IE2's, and I've liked them for what...

I'm asking for my brother. I have Grado SR225i's... my brother listened to some Beats by Dre at Best Buy and said he likes how my headphones are really "clear" sounding, but he likes the bass on the Beats. I talked him out of getting Beats for now.   So, he's looking to spend $150 on some...

I've looked at the top 6 threads when you search "Bass Headphones" and looked at all the recommended headphones.  I'm posting this because I don't think that any of those posts were personalized towards me.   I'm looking for headphones with deep bass.  Deep is more important than powerful...

Hy,   I went to shop today to see what kind of headphones they got. I found 2 that seemed legal. First one is the Phillips SHL9560, but I read that they have noise reduction system built in that also reduces the sound quality (it wasn't written on the box so I'm not too sure about that)...

Just got my refurbished XB700s in. I had to leave shortly after trying them out, but the bass didnt really blow me away. It has a lot (at least, for most people), but didnt really have THAT much more than my AKG K518, and I got the feeling that if the 518 had the same cushions to keep the sound...

Ok first post.:   I've purchased several headphones prior but this is my first time doing it with "my eyes open".   I currently own a pair of Beats By Dre Studio headphones... I love Love LOVE The bass on them (yes another basshead). Problem is i hate everything else. I'm no audiophile...

Hello, very new to the world of headphones, I purchased a pair of Bose headphones a while back because I listened to some and they sounded amazing to my virgin ears.   Now I've always been big on electronic music, pref DnB, so I would like some advice on what to get. So my question is, what...

Currently I have been using some RE Audio RE0 IEMs as my daily headphones. They sound great and have great accuracy, but I love hardstyle music which is a very heavily kick/bass oriented kind of music. The RE0's handle bass in most kinds of music well, but synthetic bass they lack (Plus they...

I know the AKG 701/702 and the Sennheiser HD 800, HD 650, HD 600, HD 598 are suppose to be very comfortable, but is there a stand out? I would suggest the AKG 701 as a stand out, but they are the only expensive headphones I've used. What is/are the most comfortable pair of headphones you have...

First off, hello everyone.  I gotta admit, I'm just getting into this branch of the audio enthusiast world.....have a bit of experience with 2 channel though.  (Love my Eminent Tech's )  How I've come to this arena though is because of my Roland TD-9 drum kit.  I really enjoy using headphones...

Alright Head-Fi, I'm new here, and come with one simple request. Nowhere else seems to know anything about anything. I'm looking for the BEST bass in a headphone I can find - For under 60 dollars. While I have many nice pairs of headphones, I have a craving for a pair with supreme bass. Being a...

Note: All songs referenced are in 16 or 24 bit FLAC/APE. The source is the ASUS Xonar Essence STX   I've been putting this off for quite some time, and I think it's about time I wrote something good about these headphones.   Build Quality:   The same as the DT770 Pre 32 ohm version...

I actually got these things less than two weeks ago. I got a feel for a few different headphones when I was doing my research. I got the HD555 for gaming initially with music in mind as a secondary purpose. For games, I find these to be perfect for my liking. As far as music goes, I like them...

So i bought the xb500 and its already shipping, but im reading that the xb700 is wayy better, i cant stop or return this shipment (Overseas) but i feel bad that im going to be missing out on te xb700, is the difference THAT big, are the xb500 comfortable for someone who never (and probably WILL...

i am looking for headphones for dubstep and electronica and i am considering the   Ultrasone HFI-580 Denon AH-D2000 XB500,700,1000 Ultrasone PRO 900 Denon D1100 SRH750DJ Ultrasone HFI-680   price range from 100 to 300    

Im between these two choices, and they're tearing me apart. Im reading so much into this comparison but i just get more confused. I like to listen to orchestral, metal, rock, one or two dubstep and some pop (yeah i can see that my taste is abit everywhere) I love punchyness without sacrificing...

Hey everyone,      I have a pair of MDR-V6s that have seen me through two years of skiing on Mt. Hood -- on the hill & off... needless to say it's been a tough life for them.  I have had to replace the jack on them twice (they sounded just as good afterwards so I know I did it right, haha)...
