Hello guys, I'm looking for a good headphones for music (Dubstep, Electro etc..) and for gaming (CoD, BF, MMO games etc..), I do not need an microphone.   Currently I have the SteelSeries Siberia V2 hooked up to my Asus Xonar DG, When I will buy the new headphones I will buy the Asus Xonar...

I want to get a pair of surround sound headphones for PC gameing. I have looked into the Astro A40's but I'm not convinced of the price. I heard that parting the AD700's with an Astro Mixamp will make a great pair of Surround sound headphones. Is this true and are they good for gameing?  I have...

I'm looking to buy a pair of decent headphones, and i think for my taste, it's going to be one of these. The comfort is an important factor. Also the headset will be used without any amp. My taste of music is very extensive.   Which one should i get ?

First let me say I am sorry if this info is already posted in some forum somewhere else.  I have done a lot of searches and read many posts, but nothing is exactly what I need.   I want the best quality listening experience possible, for a reasonable price.  I recently purchased some V-Moda...

Hi, I'm looking for an overall headphone for under the $200 mark. I need a headphone that can deliver on pretty much ever spectrum of music as I listen to pretty much all genres. For some examples I listen to very low bass rap songs, I listen to some electronic music like Skrillex or Deadmau5, I...

I'm looking for my first pair of good over-the-ear headphones for rock music. The bands I listen to are Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Arctic Monkeys, Them Crooked Vultures, Cage the Elephant, etc. The max price I will go is $250. As terrible as it sounds, the looks of the...

I am starting this thread on behalf of a friend who is not on head-fi. He asked me to recommend a good pair of headphones for him to use to listen to vinyl and also for playing ps3/watching blu ray.   Budget: $300   He says the cans will be specifically for home use, and that he...

I have been searching through threads and through review sites for several hours and find myself going in circles on what headphones I should be looking at buying. I have never spent more than $20 on a pair of headphones before and I am willing to put down $100-$300 for a nice pair. I have been...

I tired the Mad Dogs, but they where TOO warm   I'm thinking of ATH w5000 or w1000x woodies as my next attempt for clean warm cans [I use a tube for extra warmth a a little more bass]   I love my byer dt 880 pro 250s and I want a closed version of them :O [and not the dt 770] Sound stage...

  Soundmagic iem E10 remained one of my favourite iem of all time, so you should know that why I am really interested to review a pair of HP-100 as soon as I know the existence of it, known as first full size headphone from Soundmagic. Soundmagic had created some tide in audio world since...

Looking for a decent pair, not of the bottom segment, but relatively low end of the good ones. Dont really have a set budget. Have done some research, and the 2 front runners at the moment are:   audio technica ath-m50 shure srh840   Its quite important to me that they're relatively...

Hi guys, i need your help to recommend some of the budget headphone that suit for classical and vocal music. I prefer those could give a relaxing sound and comfort to wear since i feel that my sony V7506 is quite sharp and hard to have a long and relax time for listening to music. my budget is...

Been on here for a few days trying to pick my next set, and have now settled down on one of these 2 (although the DT770's are still in my mind). I have tried to find a comparison between the 2 and just can't seem to. I can get the 700's on Amazon for $130 or the 900's for $200, so I really want...

I know theres a thread but I felt like what I was going to be posting was very long and I keep getting the same reponses that I don't feel are what I'm looking for.    I currently own AD700s, with a titanium HD sound card. Main listening will be at home on my pc, but I am not opposted to...

After lots of careful consideration, I thought I had settled on the mad dogs for their sweet vocals, overall balance, and durable build. However, right before I was placing my order, I discovered the Soundmagic HP100s, which retailed for $100 less. After doing some more research, I found lots of...

First thread post, but long time lurker. Just got a d2k off the sale forums here and i notice they have no bass, which is strange seeing as they are legendary bass cans. Seller claims them to be burned in. I have hooked up to multiple sources including a laptop, desktop motherboard , asus xonar...

Hi all, I ll be in NYC for 2 weeks and i wanna buy a headphone. I am using ipod 5.5th gen (diymod) and Meier 2stepdance as a source and using Westone4 as earphone. My list is full of Rock (ever kind of) and all of them are flac. By the way i ll have a new dap ibasso dx100. So what do you...

I have a 10 yr old pr of Grado SR80, which I like, and RE-0 from HiFiMan, plus a couple Yuin...  All sub-$100.  I'm waffling between Senn HD-25-1 ll and V Moda crossfade m80 right now.  I'll probably use them primarily at home, mostly direct from a tube CDP (Eastern Electric minimax, which...

So I suppose I've got a case of upgrade-itis. After starting out with a couple of pairs of low end Senns I moved up to a pair of ATH-M50's. Overall I was pretty pleased with them. I liked that they were closed back for traveling. Then I realized I didn't want to carry these things around so I...

Hi guys,   I'm interested if anyone tried both headphones and can provide a brief comparison based on experiences. Is Vento in any way an upgrade to the previous HP100/HP150 models?   Portability is not a big problem for me, I'd carry my HP150 anywhere although it seems rather too bassy for...

I currently have Sennheiser HD 555's (foam modded, they are pretty much out of order) driven by PC => optical => Creative X-Fi HD => RCA => Pioneer A-447. I honestly have no idea how capable the amp is to drive higher ohm headphones. I'm looking for a wide, separating and detailed sound and also...

I know NOTHING about headphones and hope that someone on this site may be able to help me. I have a 16 year old daughter that asked for "Beats" for Christmas, I am a single mother and $300 is $$$$ to put out for headphones....especially after reading the reviews She listens to music on her...

Hi Head-Fi! I'm new here and would like to get some advice on some good headphones for portable use that have great style and great sound. I prefere noise cancelation, solid bass for electro/dubstep, and crisp treble. I plan to use these headphones for everything (school, home, gaming). I could...

I am basically just looking for an amp and a DAC (or a combined amp/dac) for $130 or less.  The SoundMAGIC is a "portable" 32 Ohm headphone, but it supposedly responds very well to amping.  I'd like the combo to be either neutral or slightly warm.  Soundstage and transparency should be...

Hi, I am new to this forum but have been reading reviews on this website.  Currently, I have a sennheiser HD439 and would like to upgrade to a better headphone with a buget of $200 I would like to know what's u guy's opinions on the best over-ear headphone under $200 I don't have a...
