Edit: The question is not relevant anymore, I just replied with an update to the situation.   This is more like a "what if..." scenario at the moment, I'm not seriously considering it at least yet. But yea, I got my pair of Beyerdynamic DT-990 Premium headphones, and while they do sound...

Evening all,   Bear with me i've had  drink this evening!    I've been swapping tonight between my Ultrasone HFI-580's and my housemates Sennheiser HD 558's both running through a Fiio E7 amp. Now i'm really liking the comfort of the sennheisers but the ultrasones just sound so much...

I've had my Sennheiser HD 580's for years and years now. They're great, but I'm a bass head and I want some more bass. I wear these things all the time, so I need whatever I get to be just as comfortable.   Right now I run them off a Creek OBH-11 amp.   I use them for: 70% gaming, 20%...

I don't get why people still buy these trash cans. They are one of the most horrendous headphones I have ever listened to. Is anyone willing to tell me why they bother with this brand? I mean, you guys spend 2k+ on the higher end products. I really want to know.

Do such headphones exist? I'm a pc gamer but also listen to techno, jazz, classical. Looking for something that has the nice soundstage for games but also has great bass. I just picked up the superlux 668b and so far really liking them. Haven't tested in gaming yet but music is a big step up...

I'm looking for a new pair of budget headphones for general purpose use, but mainly with emphasis on bass and gaming.  My current everyday pair are the Samson SR850 (EQ'd) and for me, these do the job well.  I'm looking for something to spice it up a bit.  I've tried the Sony XB500 and the...

Hi,   I'm wondering which of those is best for dubstep and pop music? I'm also wondering which of those has a better build quality/materials. (Preferably more metal and less plastic) I know the M50s are pretty good as they are the limited edtion and come in a metal build. Sound isolation and...

Hi all,   I have the Beyerdynamic T70 in loan use now. I completely unlike the sound it produces on my set! (DIY TPA BIII, IVYIII with Ventus EZ headphone amps)   It is quite detailed but for the rest the sound is penetrating my head on a manner that it hurts my tooth and the sound is...

I'm Stuck between these two headphones. On one hand I'm a basshead and I want the Pro700 but I also want something that sounds amazing. So which one should I get?

Hi everybody.   I currently use a pair of Sennheiser HD439 with an ipod Touch and a Fiio E6. The hd439 are a great pair of headphones for 89 US and i like the warm sound signature and accurate bass. But for Electronic music i like a bassy sound  and much more detailed can, preferably...

Hello guys,   I've been doing researches about headphones the whole week! about 6 hours a week or more than that!! so im still not into the audophile world as my knowledge about headphone is still fairly low :P. so basically, I DO NOT WANT an amp with me while i use the headphones, as i find...

I'm sorry 'cause I made another thread earlier wondering about the AD700, but I've made a decision that I feel warrants a new thread of entirely different price range.  To summarize, I spend a lot of my time gaming, but I also really like music and listening to commentaries.  I'm using a Xonar...

I am looking for: best mids for under $300, Open, over-the-ear full size headphone - to use at basement home office. Looking for soundstage and separation.   I have not yet experienced bass detail, nor airiness - curious about these characteristics.   I thought I had wanted treble...

Right now I currently own the ATH-M50's and XB500's. I'm looking for something that has detailed sound quality like the M50's, but they lack some bass(to me atleast). I got used to the bass on the XB500's and I'm a basshead, but I also love outstanding sound quality. So, maybe something similar...

I have audio technica athm50s but I'm looking for something with a little more feel to it. Specifically, I want to hear every little detail in the music.

Okay, I listen to my ipod nano with typical "junk files".  I simply don't have the time and energy to upgrade my 1000+ song collection to 320 or lossless at this time.  Maybe a couple years from now when my newborns are older and I have some free time.   Looking into "upgrade" or just...

My friend who plays acoustic guitar wants a pair of sond MDR-X10's with the reason that beats vocals sound underwater-like (Finally someone gets it). I warned him saying that MDR-X10s are bassy too, and are also underwater-like. He doesn't like swampy bass, but he also can stand anemic bass...

would the sennheiser 598s be a significant upgrade over the 840s i have the shure 840s now and an e10 amp. Would the 598s powered by the e10 be much of an improvement
