I am wondering which is a better. I want something with good sound quality overall and a  of bass,considerable amount I've read that the hd 448's have inadequate bass for tehcno, electro, house, trance. I am also wondering if I get the hd 438's will the enhanced bass make the songs that have...

Hi, i am in a bit of a bind here. I have purchased Beyedynamic DT 990 600 ohms without doing much research based on their quality. I love how they sound but are very quiet, i have looked into this and learned it is because i do not have an amp. I would like to use these type of headphones...

I'm looking to upgrade to a full pair of headphones (currently have the Klipsch S4 earbuds) and I'm looking to spend around $100. The headphones I'm currently look at are:   Sony MDR7506 http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR7506-Professional-Diaphragm-Headphone/dp/B000AJIF4E/ref=zg_tr_172541_1...

I have both the Sony MDR-7506's and the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's.  Considering factors like build quality, comfort, sound isolation and leakage, and of course sound signature which would you say is the better headphone?  I want to hear from other people.  I find myself going back to Sony MDR-7506...

  Okay, so, I'm new to all this.  I do not even own a pair of headphones, just the Yurbuds earphones.  I listen to mostly rap, so, I love bass.  I also listen to a rock band named Skillet, and even some mellow stuff like Sigur Ros and Explosions In The Sky.  I really want a headphone that...

Hi, just found those in a thrift store. I had a quick listen with my cmoy - bass not to boomy, and they do have some soundstage. After listening ten seconds, I was convinced that they were worth the price. Now at home - compared to the Sennheiser HD497, they sound a lot more emotional...

Are there any headphones better than the Sony MDR-7506? Hi guys. I have owned my Sony MDR-7506 Professional Studio-grade headphones for over 7 years and they still sound FABOULOUS! I would like to know if any of you have owned or used these cans and compared them to others in this range? I...

Might anyone be so kind as to give me a recommendation of a sealed headphone with flat frequency response under $100 for recording studio use?

Looking for a shop with a wide range of quality headphones in Melbourne, Australia. Know of any? h

Another newbie looking for headphone advice; I apologize for making a new thread instead of posting in the "buying headphones" thread but I figured this has enough specifics and details to warrant a separate thread...plus it seems like this would just get lost in the sea of replies if posted...

Hey guys! I'm kinda new here and wanted to blurt this out   I registered a while back while lurking but decided to share my eye-opening experience after buying a pair of real cans!   I've owned a pair of MDR7506s for a while and definitely enjoyed them. Soon after I started discovering...

Hello Head-Fi. I am a noob here (I don't know many of the technical terms, just how things sound.)   1. I am looking to purchase the AKG Q701 Quincy Jones Model Headphones for transcribing music. Would these headphones suffice for transcribing or does anyone have any recommendations for...

Hey all,   I've utilized avsforums over the years for both consumer level and pro audio equipment purchases.  Once I started looking into headphones on there, I was pointed in the direction of this site.  If anyone can help me with the search for the best cans to fit my needs, it would be...

Just got my Pioneer HDJ-1000 in a couple of days ago, so please allow me to write down some of my impressions... My previous pair of headphones was the Sony MDR-V6 (a.k.a. Sony 7506... do NOT mistaken it for the MDR-V600, as the V600 is CRAP!), a tough headphone to beat, for sure, but I lost...

I have been trying out the Sony MDR-V6 for a week now and I like them a lot but can't stand the coiled cable.  Is the Shure SRH440 a comparable option - with the replacement straight cable?   Or is there another option I should consider?  I've read that the SRH440 really needs an amp and...

first thing i would say about the sennheiser headphones is their craftsmanship, they are very well-built. engineered in germany and assembled in ireland--what a beautiful team! if you hold these cans in your hands and take a close look you will find detailed characteristics of professionalism...

Hey all! It's been quite a while since I've been on Head-Fi, but once again I'm looking to buy a pair of headphones. For a long time I've been using my beloved Bowers-Wilkins 686 desktop speakers for my main audio setup, but due to college-related moving I'll be without them for a significant...

I have started this hobby with Sony 7506 $80 headphones thinking it should be better than Apple In-Ear.  Many headphones and many hundreds of dollars since I have went through.  I'm awaiting D7000 to arrive next week, which over 8 times the cost of what I started with.   I've seen plenty of...

Just got a pair of Sony MDR-V6... love them except for the coiled cable.  I think they will be bulky if using the headphones for portability, and I expect they would get tangled in the bag.   My next option to try was the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 but at $150 it's double the price.   What...

I just purchased my Sony MDR-7506 headphones. The first impression I got from them was terrible. While the audio reproduction was accurate, the headphones felt laid back. The sound was too bright and the bass was very weak. Also, the sound stage is terrible, the audio feel very crammed.   My...

  I just receive the Audio Technica ATH BB500 and want to share with you my first impressions along with some unboxin pics.   I order them directly to Japan via Ebay with a price of $98 + S&H   Sound   Out of the box, they sound great, just as expected.  They are not top notch...

I have a couple general questions about them so I figured this was the right category. I am wanting to get some V6's pretty soon but I would like to hear a couple people's opinions about them. I am sort of a bass head and I like nice deep bass but I want clarity in all tones as well. I am a big...

Just to clarify, this is going to be my first pair of decent headphones. With the amount of time i spend listening to music, I should probably invest in some good hardware.   After a week of researching, I found the ATH-M40 to be the best reviewed and the cheapest (they go for $60 on...

Hey ppl, I've read that sometimes headphones need a breaking in period, during which the sound may be a bit "fresh" and sometimes unbalanced for a period up to 40 hours...   I've been using the MDR7506 for 2 years now — they're amazing. I actually bought 2 pairs (online) when I first...

Hello, I just joined this forum and in typical newbie fashion, I'm going to ask my question, even though I'm fairly certain it's been beaten to death, like a dead horse, several times already. The only saving grace in my opinion is that the topic of which I'm inquiring is somewhat old now, and...
