My little brother recently tried out the Beats Studio by Dr.Dre and was blown away by them, but they were to expensive so my mom said she would buy him the Solos for his birthday, So I looked them up on BestBuy.com and saw a bunch of great reviews. Thankfully I also did a google search and this...

Hi.   I'd like to get some advice on buying a new pair of headphones. I've had only two cans so far, both by Philips under 50 euros. The ones I'm using at present are Philips SHL9560.   These are my requirements: * neutral - I don't like the sound to be coloured, want to hear it they...

       Hi all :)  1)   I listen Metal and Rock music   2)   I am student.     3)   I want Over The Ear headphones with good sound isolation and descent sound quality.     4)   My budget is estimated around 60$ but it may expand easily if something good comes up over the horizon. So...

does it have a difference 

i posted in the big help forum, but only got one response. so heres what i typed plus i looked over the grado sr 225i     Well i have been doing a ton of reading already and my brain is numb. So im gonna be "that guy" and ask which headphone is best for me.   I will mainly be using...

Hey Head-Fi! I just joined today to get some advice! So currently I use Samson CH70 Studio Reference Headphones. I am ready to step it up and get some new headphones. My brother just bought some Sony MDR-V6's and they sound amazing! I listen to metal, techno, hard rock, and progressive metal...

Right. I have narrowed my choices down to these, i think.   audio technica ath t300 bose AE2 denon ahd1100 creative aurana live sony mdr-v6 sony zx700 shure srh440 / 240   Of these, i have personally tried on the Bose AE2 and love its comfort. I'm trying to keep from buying the...

How do, my names EMdaftRAVE, i like daft punk, in case you couldn't tell :P Gonna get straight to it.   I like a lot of different types of music, mainly Rock, metal, electronica, will listen to anything though if its good.   Was wondering what headphones one might buy, in the sub-£50...

Hello Head-Fi members,   I was planning on purchasing the Audio Technica ATH-M50, but ended up cancelling my order after I read some reviews and found out that it's not really comfortable for long use. Can anyone make some suggestions on some good comfortable alternatives to Audio Technica...

Right now I'm considering: -555 -595 -A700 -AD700 -M50 -V Moda Crossfades I mostly FPS game and listen to dubstep(sometimes rock, but mostly bass heavy dubstep), and watch a ton of movies  

Hi Guys,   Kinda new here (my first post, although I've been reading tons of posts before writing this one...).    I'm in the market for new headphones, and I'm really not sure which I should buy.  Currently, I have the Sennheiser PX100 (which I REALLY love) which I use mainly with my...

Hello everybody. First of all, I'd like to tell I'm not really into headphones, so any suggestion is accepted. That's why I'm asking for a purchase suggestion. My budget is around 150 dollars and I'd like to use headphones for symphonic metal and gothic metal music mainly (bands such as...

Im curious to see if anyone has had extensive time with both of these headphones. I want something super comfortable to wear for long periods of time and to listen from my laptop(no amp) and occasionally from my phone(Evo 3D, unamped).   I wouldnt even consider the Bose since they have such...

Hi, I want to know which headphones are good for listening house or bass heavy music. I currently have the ATH-M50 but i accidentally broke its plug and now the left side is not working anymore. I loved my M50's because the sound is neutral but a little bit lacking in bass department. And also...

Hey guys, I wanted to focus the topic of the thread I started the other day (IEM vs. hd 580 and amp options). Except for what the title already says I want to add that I'm mostly looking for a mixing headphone, and that detail, separation and extension are my top priorities. Also, I'll be using...

My girlfriend is looking for a first set of cans, but wants to keep the size relatively small. I ran her through my Sennheiser collection (px100, 280, 595, and 650) and her favorite was by far the 595 because of how clear and soft they sounded. She did not, however, like that they bleed sound...

The M50 is a very popular headphone and for good reason. It is a relatively cheap entry to the world of high end audio, it sounds good and is well put together. It is the can i recommend most....until now. Dont know quite how to say this, the Sony ZX700 is ... better. It looks better, is more...

that's my second post I was looking to pick sennheiser HD428/438/448 one of them but it seem that i can get better, I’m looking for a headphone that have a accurate deep base that don't overpower the clarity also good in blocking outside sound, my first headphone was the skullcandy nba hesh i'm...

Its been a long journey..... I used to be obsessive about my MP3 players, Ipods , Cowon X5, Creative Zen, Monolith , Sony , i tried so many i have lost count. Then i got into Minidisc , i loved having the little plastic discs. I bought my wife one and made her 'mix' tapes , remember them...

hello all. i have noticed while being on these forums that headphones like the grado sr60, shure srh440/srh840, and audio technica ath m50/ ath ad7000 etc are all praised as being bang for the buck and better then headphones costing so much more money. i really think this is a little strange...

I currently have several pairs of cans but only one for portable use. I had the HD25-1 and replaced it after comparison with the D1100, the HD25 was just too tiring! Anyway i have seen the ZX700 and it looks interesting, i understand that it doesnt have the soundstage of the D1100 (which is...

Hey guys, new to the forums and this is my first post, but the posts seem to be quite amazingly detailed and balanced so this seems to be great!   My question is this: I'm looking to buy a new pair of cans for street use and just general, daily use and am uncertain on which to get out of...

Will I get any benefit from an amp if I have low impedance headphones? and if so what are some great amps for low impedance headphones. I want to push my sony zx700's. Would I just be better of buying better headphones? 

...It is a good job I got a fairly hefty bonus from work this month, paying full retail for both of these... but, in its own way, it has been totally worth it :)   Now, with anything I mention below, it has to be said that these are early impressions, with the Z1000 only having about 20hrs...

I did an unboxing video of the NEW Sony MDR-ZX700 a few weeks ago.  You can watch it here if you missed it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QQQXjulM7w             Today I am going to give you my final thoughts on how this new comer stacks up against the legendary...
