Hi   I have the Samson SR850s for gaming purposes (awesome headphones btw), but unfortunately the pads are kinda uncomfortable around my ears.   I've been looking for replacement velour pads for them (because velour are supposed to be the best? I have no idea) and from my research the...

Hello,   I'm deciding between the following headphones (mostly for portable use with an iPod):     KOSS PortaPro AKG K-81 Samson SR850 Superflux HD 681     Price isn't a big deal (they are all roughly the same via ebay) Comfort is a major factor. I listen to a lot of...

Looking for a new and cheap pair of headphones that will be good for gaming and listening to bass light music(mostly rock). I already own a pair of HFI 580s + Fiio E11 that fulfill my basshead needs but in some kinds of music(rock) they can be a bit too bass heavy and they suck for gaming. So i...

I heard these both use the same drivers, both are basically the same price, yet I heard that the Samson SR850 somehow sounds better, how true is this? If so by how much, I do like the way the 850 looks better yet I like that the HD668B has a changable chord and honestly seem to look more...

Hi all,   Long post below, but the tl;dr version – AD700’s are great standalone for FPS, need EQ for anything else IMO. SR850’s are mint if you’ve got a small head, not quite as good(?) for FPS but good for everything else. I want an EQ to put into my xbox audio chain to make the AD700’s...

Hi everyone,   This is my first post here so if this is the wrong place to post this query then sorry and if you could direct me to the correct forum that would be great :).   I recently bought myself a pair of Samson SR850's to use on my PC whilst gaming (mostly) and I have had a Xonar...

They are kinda uncomfortable, any good replacement pads for these?

My last headphones broke and I am now looking for a new pair. I have found a lot of nice looking headphones out there but I'm having a hard time choosing. Can any of you guys recommend me a pair of headphones that are circumaural, comfortable, have good bass and under $65? No beats, skullcandy...

Hey all,   I just received a set of SR850s in the mail.  I do a bit of team gaming, and I've been on the lookout for a set of cans that would remain comfortable for hours on end.  Previously, I had been using Koss Portapros, and they're just not cutting it for long-term listening comfort...

So I got my SR850's while I am re-cabling my ATH-M50's they just got here so they haven't gotten a chance to burn in but on my first listen I went from eager to shocked from what I heard and not in a good way. Now I know they're not going to sound as good as my M50's but HOLY CRAP these...

So I've been looking for $50 headphones that sound great and balanced and everyone kept saying get the samson SR850. But today I saw that Newegg has the Sennheiser HD 428 SC on sale for $60 which is in budget. and the normal asking price is $100. Which pair of headphones should I get?

My Sony headphones have broken and I'm looking to replace them. I listen to hip hop, rock, and pop music and spend a lot of time on YouTube. I was looking around and found a few that interest me. I don't want to spend more than $50 on a set and comfort is a priority since I have them on for...

I have looked for some new headphones for around £70. I'm listening to acoustic, indie, and rock.   Ive been recommended the Samson Sr850  the Sennheiser HD449  the Sennheiser HD518 And the Creative Aurvana Live   Which ones are best, or any other suggestions??

It will be mostly for gaming/music/general listening.  I want dolby headphone and I was looking at the asus xonar dg, but what's the difference between the DG and DX?  What do you recommend?

Hello! I decided a little while back that I wanted to get a new pair of headphones, preferably Over-ear. I have a budget of 100-150 dollars. I'm looking for something that is good for listening to music, and gaming also. I mainly listen to Dubstep/French house and a little bit of Drum and Bass...

i heard siberias are better, which should i get for gaming? i want the one with the best soundstage

I am in a little bit of a bind. I need headphones to watch film with Dolby Headphone (or something similar). I have read that generally speaking,  the bigger the soundstage of the headphone the more effective it will be in expressing the virtual headphone effect (as in DH). My budget is $100 and...

Tried my friend's Allen & Heath Xone XD53 dj headphones and realized how much better music sounded and now I'm set on buying some new ones.     I was looking at the audio technica M30, Samson SR850 and the Jvc rx700 and rx900 mainly. Also thinking about the M40fs and possibly the m50...

So I basically have a budget of $100 for new headphones. I'm looking to use these for counter-strike(wider sound stages will help with pinpointing footsteps). I also plan to use them for movies and music, but the main focus is for counter strike. I know the AD700's have an enormous soundstage...

Which one of these headphones has the best soundstage, comfort, clarity, and balance for gaming with Dolby Headphone and creating an immersive surround sound effect without being overly bright or harsh?

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...

First of all, is this even possible? All of my Flac files are Rock (Boston, Rolling stones, Dire Straits, Killswitch Engage). I've been looking at Grado Sr60i since it's probably the highest I could go right now thanks to college (saw them on OCN used for 60), but I think closed headphones would...

For pure gaming purposes; mostly fps shooters like black ops 2 and all that.

Hey everyone. I'm new here, and am trying to decide on a good set of budget headphones. I'd like not to spend much over $50 and had Initially decided on the HA-RX700's but I found the 900's for a little more and figured they would be best. However, after reading a few threads the SR850's seem to...
