I've found myself in a bit of a pickle.   I just started a new job where I'm wearing headphones and listening to music/podcasts for 8.5 hours at a time with 5-10 minute breaks thrown in every once and a while.  My job also requires me to listen for (sometimes quiet) announcements over PA...

hey i have decided i will probably buy some ultrasone headphones, i dont consider myself a basshead but i do like bass and thump in some cans, i have narrowed it down to either the:   Ultrasone   HFI 780 PRO 550 HFI 2400 HFI 680 DJ1 PRO   I would be mainly listening to DNB...

Hello everyone,   So I bought the HD555 headphones about a year ago, and now i'm considering to upgrade them to a higher end model while at the same time buying a new sound card, which is Asus Xonar Essence ST and use it instead of my current on-board card as i'm probably not going to buy an...

Hey Guys, First time here; I'm looking to upgrade my current audio setup to a set of full cans (looking at AKG 701/2, Senn 598, 600, 650, Grado 325is, Beyer 880/990, and any recommendations there would also be very much appreciated), and am considering getting a DAC/Amp to complement them. The...

Hey guys, First time here; I'm looking to upgrade my current audio setup to a set of full cans (looking at AKG 701/2, Senn 598, 600, 650, Grado 325is, Beyer 880/990 so far; I've tried the AKGs and the 598s, both of which I liked, but didn't have a ton of time to try them, so didn't form any...

Hello, I'm a real beginner to all audiophilic things and I'm in the process of purchasing my first 'real' headphone setup. I'm ready to spend about 300 € (about $430) and possibly a bit more. As I said, I'm a total newbie, and though I know a bit about this stuff, I don't really know what the...

Hi everybody. I like to replace my SR80i (served me well) & take a leap in the headphones class. My budget is mentioned in the tile. My music taste is mainly rock (all forms of it), a little electric music & jazz. I'd go for an advanced Grados but I found them uncomfortable. Thanks.

I was originally just going to get some HD598s (and still might depending on how this thread turns out), but I wanted to see what a slight raise in budget could get me. I have no idea what sort of sound I want as I only own a pair of HD280 Pros, so my experience is limited. Something fun, but...

I am upgrading from a ATH-AD700 Audio Technica open air headphone.  I like the sound and the fact that its very open.  I need sound leakage, because I use them at work and need to be aware of what I am monitoring.  The issue I have now is size, as they are too big to take with me.  I would like...

Need some opinions on some cans for the office.   My office (not a cubicle) is fairly noise isolated.  The  only time I hear my office neighbors is when they are talking to someone at moderate voice levels...so noise transmission between offices isn't a real nuisance.  What is a nuisance...

Hello I have the AD700 while they are amazing for games they lack alot of bass for the music I listen to. My budget is >300. I play FPS games casually so not to picky on the sound direction but I want them clear enough to hear someone approaching. Dont need to be so detailed where I can shoot...

Hey head-fiers,   I'm looking for another pair of cans that I is driven well by an iPod (actually it's a Zune, but that shouldn't make a big difference) without the need for an external amplifier. Price shouldn't be much higher than 200€ (250$) Hopefully, some of you guys can help me find...

edit- Jus saw the post about not posting new threads regarding headphone advice....sorry.  Disregard this if its in the wrong place.      Hey there! I am lookin to purchase my first pair of audiophile headphones. I am a huge noob, but I love music and figured I should invest in a good pair...

i would like to find a pair of headphones that will pump out some good bass without sacrificing sound quality, i have a pair of ath-w1000s (paired with a sugden headmaster and sugden cdmaster), which, sound absolutely fantastic, the headphones just lack that extra thump when playing songs with...

Has anyone heard both of these?  The Ultrasones sound wonderful, but fit on my head is less than perfect.  Heard a good alternative were the Audio Technicas.

Sup guys, so as you can see my collection. I like my AD700 a lot, but I am missing the bass. Perhaps you chaps can make some recommendation on a good pair of headphones with bass for gaming, music, etc.   preferred budget: no more than $200   possibly un amped if possible.

Hi, I've gone through a few headphones in the past few months trying to find one I can comfortably stick with, and I'm at what is likely my final decision. I own the Denon D7000s and Audio-Technica AD700s. Now, despite one costing me 11x more than the other, I simply cannot decide between them...

Hi all,   I just received a new pair of Beyer Dynamic DT 770 Premium 32 OHM from Amazon and I must admit I am really disappointed in the build quality.   They look and feel very cheap due and they are very loose in the “joints” and produce cracking sounds if they are twisted them a bit. ...

Hi guys, I am trying to find full-sized, foldable (transportable), sturdy open headphones, I found a few but was wondering if that's the whole stack or if I am missing any cans that I need to add to my list:   Ultrasone HFI 2400 Ultrasone Pro 2900 Beyerdynamic DT 440 Beyerdynamic DT...

Will be running mine from an Onkyo TX-NR609 receiver, a MacBook Pro, & iPod Touch 4g.  I would guess they will sound their best from the Onkyo due to it putting out more power into them, but not as good sound from the two Apple products.   I know headphone amps start at least as low as $65...

I posted in the "Buying headphones? Seeking guidance? DON'T START A NEW THREAD. Ask for advice HERE" thread but did not get much traction due to the influx of advice posts. I did get one suggestion and found a few others I was interested in, so I thought I'd post a shortened list so I could get...

Decided to start this thread after bein stuck on the fence as it were, on the hfi and pro series, as of late ive narrowed it down to wither the dj1 pro, Pro 900, or the Hfi 2400. Lets discuss which has the most bass punch and which has the most full bodied warmth and rich sound? In addition id...

Alright so I'm going to be buying some new can's in about a month, and I have some options and need opinions.   Right now I'm in love with my hfi-2400, but wish they were closed... so I would like to try the pro 900. However I've always been curious about the hd650's, and am considering...

So I've been wondering for a little now if wearing an open backed headphone outside can result in damages due to factors such as heavy wind. I wear ultrasone hfi2400s around campus and sometimes there is some very heavy wind which I can feel going straight through the headphone and into my ears...

Sennheiser HD 598/595 Ultrasone PRO 750  Ultrasone HFI-780/2400 Sennheiser PC 333D/PC 360   I know that I will need an amp for this to connect to an Xbox 360 or Blu-ray Player. Can you also suggest a very good one under $150 that has "dolby headphone" or is it better to get one without...
