Not long ago I finally reconstructed my main system and now am in need of a headphone amp, neither my pre or amp have phone outputs. Occassionally I like to listen when my family is either asleep or for other reasons they would not appreciate my music. So my primary listening is through...

  I am writing a book about filmmaking with HDSLR cameras and could use some help from the hive mind here at Head-fi.  The book's target audience is photographer filmmakers who like their toys, I mean tools.  Now that DSLR cameras shoot HD video, a lot of them are working in motion.  In the...

  I'm sorry if there are already multiple threads like this. I feel my needs are slightly different from others. I've had a pair of Sony MDR-7506 Professionals for a while now, and have recently thought about purchasing an amp for them. After some consideration, I think rather than purchasing...

I need your input on which headphone i should get. This will be perhaps my only headphone purchase for the next 10 years so it has to be an excellent one.   I'm using it for portable and home use so it must have folding abilities and be easily driven by an mp3 player. I'm currently using a...

I'm looking for the best combination or dac/amp/headphones that can be used to listen to a variety of genres. I listen to a great deal of indie,rock,hiphop, and electronic music.   What I want is pretty good bass, I love when headphones have good low end response but I am still inclined to...

I am going to purchase the Sony MDR 7506's but I really don't like the badging on them. Can it be removed or covered?   Thanks for your insight :)

I am interested in purchasing the MDR 7506's @ $80 but I would like to know if spending an extra $20 or $30 will get me something better. Please let me know what you think.

Hey All,   I'm a heavy desktop gamer who is getting into notebook gaming rigs. I own some Senns 280's and Sony's MDR7506's. Both sound great for Gaming/HD Movies, but when it comes to traveling are just way too bulky to fit in my notebook bag.   Are there any gamers here that know of...

I've been doing a lot of research over the past couple of days to get a solution for a couple of problems that maximizes my dollar.  It would be awesome if someone could smack some sense into me before I blow a couple hundred bucks.   Here is what I already have.   Headphones: Sony...

Seems a bit too good to be true maybe? Whatya reckon...     http://cgi.ebay.ie/NEW-Sony-MDR-7506-7506-Professional-STUDIO-Headphones-/270605316861?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item3f015572fd#ht_3756wt_1139     Thanks: )

  I completely smashed the Sony 7506's which have been my location workhorses for the last 12 years.   What I loved about the 7506:   -Closed Ear -Reasonably Comfortable -Foldable (I use these for Travel) -Easily powered and loud without an amp -Price -Durable (until I...

I'll try to make this as unbiased as possible:   My brother and I are having a debate on which 'phones are better. To truly settle it, I decided that it was best we heard some opinions and reasons from the knowledgeable users of Head-Fi.org. My brother says that the Beats by Dr. Dre...

Recently lost my first gen Ipod Touch and am in the market for a new device. I have been hearing how Ipods are not as great when it comes to sound quality. I would like to seek something more than just Ipods.   I don't really care about any of the other features such as being able to play...

I've been browsing through the site for a while now and everything, almost everything i've read is the AD700's are the way to go, but maybe with my particular interests, a better suiting headphone might be appropriate.    Currently i'm using a Sennheiser HD212 Pro, love it but they get...

I have a pair of sony mdr 7506 now, and I listen to a lot of music. While i find the sound quality to be good, I feel it has poor bass quality. I use it only on my computer, and I have what I think is an expensive sound card. If its not my setup, then I want to buy new headphones. I listen to...

I'm going to buy a pair of SONY MDR-7506 on ebay and I found some people selling them and they can ship to my country   waveeus USD 59.99 http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-MDR-7506-Studio-Monitor-DJ-Headphone-Earphone-/110564884797?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item19be2e413d...

Hey everybody,   Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but the stereo plug on my Sonys got bent slightly and I was wondering how it could be fixed? Like, would I have to buy a whole new cord ($39.99) or could I just purchase a new plug?   Thanks in advance for your time!

I just bought some headphones from a guy named electronicfamily of ebay http://myworld.ebay.com/electronicfamily. They play fine in my ipod, well i think but when i push the plug all the way into my earphone jacks in my laptop it doesn't work I have to push 3/4 of the way in for it to play in my...

So I've never really owned a pair of really nice headphones before but I'm looking to invest in a good pair before I go to college. I've gotten into dubstep and crap lately so more bass is good. I'm looking to spend like 150 dollars but could go up to 200. Can anyone recommend headphones? I've...

Hello, firstly, for the forum skeptics, I have indeed used the "Search" Button, but it appears my situation is rather unique as I didn't find any specific related threads to what I'm looking for. Onwards to topic, I am looking for a decent pair of preferably CLOSED "Over the Ear"...

Most, if not all, Sony headphones have product names that start with MDR. But what exactly does this acronym stand for?

I have both the Sony MDR-7506 and the Shure SRH840 headphones.   I am interested to get other peoples opinions on the two.   Both have been used for more than 150 hours.   I strangely prefer the Sonys for listening to vocal and R&B. I think these produce a more pleasing open sound. I...

Hey guys and gals, especially you Vancouverite Sound Hounds, I'm looking for a pair of closed back headphones for the office after breaking my old Sony 7506's . After doing some research I ended up with a pair of Shure SRH 840's, but am not happy with just how narrow the sound stage is even...

While I know that this is horrifyingly low-end, I'm looking for a pair of speakers for my computer. Ideally, I'd like them to be active, but have no other preferences. I'm not a fan of overwhelming bass, and I'm not prepared to invest in a DAC at this point. If it's any baseline, I consider...
