I felt like there wasn't enough information available for more comparisons between these two excellent cans. This is just a thread meant to be informative based on personal experiences; you may feel free to reply or ignore it, but for those who are still struggling between these two headphones I...

Hi. I recently took my old Sony MDR-7506 cans out of the drawer after a year or so of neglect, and noticed that that 'pleather' pads had started to completely break down, leaving black crap everywhere. I'd been thinking about switching to Beyerdynamic velour pads for a while, but after seeing...

Hello, first post here. New to portables. Just picked up a pair of 7506's. listened to them through my ipod in bed last night at low volume and was amazed at the resolving power. I would like to get a portable amp for them. I've decided on the C5 and E12 after poking around the forums. Can...

Hello All,   i need help. I used to listen to music a long period with AKG K 240 DF. They are not built any more.   In the last view years i did the Sony MDR- 7506.   But now, i try to find a new one which is more open in the mid range, just like the K 240 DF.   If you know...

Hey guys! This is my first post. I am 20, male, in college, and have never owned a nice pair of over ear headphones so I assume I'm in for quite a treat.   Stats: I listen to math rock, country, electronic dance music, classic rock, basically everything but rap. I don't like roaring bass...

I'm about to make an order to thomann with some friends... and I was about to buy some new headphones. I have some simple Sennheiser HD215's right now. When I use them for producing, I only use them for arranging and composing, not mixing, because I've had a bad experience from previous...

First of all i dont have so much experience but i have seen that it is full of experts over here and since i desperately need some information here i go : My problem is that i am looking for some over ear monitoring headphones to master the genres i submitted in the title (Electronic /...

Hello all, I'm looking for a pair of headphones to be used at home mostly out of a MacBook Pro (2010), occasionally with an iPod Classic (80GB). I don't have much experience with headphones, but I'm using a pair of Westone UM3x. I'd like these headphones to be a complement to my UM3x if...

Hello...   I'm currently in the market for a good pair of headphones, in the ~$300 - $500 range.   I actually used to own a pair of Grado HP-1's back in high school, which was 10 years ago, and I have no idea if they are still respected today as they were back then, but with college, and...

I was considering getting a pair of M-100s, but it looks like they aren't quite as audiophile friendly as I'd hoped. I'm looking for a fairly transparent set of headphones that will work with a wide variety of genres and are suitable for mixing, and from what I've been reading the M-100s don't...

flat response roundup, speaks for itself really, just a note, they have to be good quality and reasonable build quality, doesn't have to be v-moda style build, also must be able to use them on portable (home as well) decent isolation though (sorry denon fans)

Christmas is coming around the corner and I need some advice for a "starter" headphone. I currently have the sennheiser HD 202 but they don't cut it and I want an upgrade. Two headphones I've looked at are Grado sr80i and the Sony MDR7506. I mainly listen to Hard Rock, Jazz, Pop, rap, and...

Hello everyone,     I am going to be as objective as possible so not to take a lot of your time.   BUDGET: $90~$130.   GENRE: Classical, Instrumental (like OSTs, Yann Tiersen, Joe Hisaishi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, etc.), Rock (lots of styles, except for metal, thrash, death and similar)...

Hey guys, I apologize if this topic has been addressed before (in which case, could someone please link me to the appropriate thread?), but I'm in the market for some good headphones that I can use while gaming as well as for watching movies.   Let me list the major considerations for this...

I didn't know where to post this exactly as it's about upgrading my headphones and amp...     I haven't been on here in quite some time, but have recently gotten back into headphone listening and am considering doing some upgrades, but want to see which upgrade path to take.   By...

I currently have the Sony MDR-7506 and the Grado SR80i.  I love both of these headphones but I am now starting to see the limitations of them both.  I love the fact that they both have a flat response and provide an accurate reproduction of what the artist intended the music to sound like.  ...

I want to get my son headphones for Christmas for under $100. He will use them pretty much for his ipod to listen to music and ipad to watch movies. The ones I have looked at are Sony MDR-V6, Sennheiser HD-280 pro headphones and Sony MDR-XB500. Which one of those would be the best fit for him...

I listen to a range of music and genres. Some examples: Nujabes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Boards of Canada, Tycho, Marcus D, The Beatles, classical, techno(including varying sub-genres), rock(including varying sub-genres), r&b, soul, rap, hip hop. My Bose around ear headphone's speakers blew, and...

This is a topic I have wanted to post on an audio and hifi site for sometime, just to read peoples reactions to which headphone they think is better.  My current headphone collection consists of Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's, Sony MDR-7506's, Sony MDR-XB700's, the new Apple "Ear Pods" (Which I must...

Hi all - after trying a number of headphones (ATs, AKG, Beyers, etc) I finally found my perfect headphone, the Sony MDR 7506. I love these things. I know they are pretty efficient, but I went ahead and bought a Fiio E11 anyway. Did I just waste my money? Am i going to hear any difference with...

Hey guys,   I'm looking for some closed headphones to use at work. I would use my MS-1is but they would annoy the hell out of my co-workers. Currently I am using my etymotic IEMs, but they are kinda uncomfortable after an hour or so.   I primarily listen to indie, post and alternative...

Hello Head-Fi community,   I've been doing research on many headphones during the past week, and I have found that I've turned to this forum more often than not. I've looked at over 20 and narrowed down my selection to a few. As I truly do not have the capacity to discern the differences...

Hey guys;   I am looking for hi-fi over ear closed headphones about 150$. Natural sound is important for me. As you see on the title i want for rock. It will be nice if it look good but not too important.    Thanks for advices.
