New here!     I want some over-ear headphones for everyday listening. I listen to pretty much every genre of music, but mainly hip hop, rap, and all kinds of electronic music, so I would like some with a good balance, but nice bass. I used to have Beats Pro, but I sold those and later...

I think so. It has a premium sound and requires NO amp. How can that be beat? It has a very full size sound to it. Now, they don't sound like the refined full sized big boys, but as a potable it has a meaty, fun BUT clear sound. Cons: Not for vocals or bass light recordings. Some rock...

Ive had the ATH- M50's for a couple months and they were stolen so now I need a new pair. I'm a noob when it comes to headphones but I like how the M50's sound except I wish the bass was a lot more boom to it. So I pretty much want to know what headphones are better and sound clear but with more...

Here is a story I wrote for my school newspaper Del. Aware. In the article I compare the headphones Beats Studio and Audio Technica ATH-M50 after conducting several blind tests on musicians and audiophiles. Note that due to spacing issues, the article's length is limited, and therefore I could...

Well my lil sis has been looking for sexy closed higher end (mid fi) headphones for a few months. I've given her some suggestions like AKG's, but she says it's too expensive, so I'm just going to buy something for her birthday next month. She really is looking for something sophisticated I...

My Audio Technica A900 headphones made it five and a half years of pretty much constant daily use (maybe 10-12 hours a day).  But in the last few months the arm holding the ear cup to the band has failed on both sides so I think it's time to retire them.  I wanted to try something new, and have...

Hey everyone, Blocked here. I'm very new at the whole headphone business, and I'm look for a good set of cans AT LEAST under 600$, and yes, I will be getting a Fiio E17 to increase bass in quality. I'm a huge basshead and I love listening to Trance, Techno, Dubstep, and many electronic music...

Hiya, I'm new here. This is my third thread (first on this forum), hopefully I can actually get some answers here. I'm looking for new headphones (obviously). My current headset (Steelseries Siberia v2, I can hear you guys vomiting as you read this) died a horrible death (mic on longer works and...

Hello Head-Fi-er's, I am on the hunt for a new pair of cans, and have researched and researched for days to discover my audio needs based on where I am and what I listen to. I travel to and from school a lot, so home and school almost all the time, with extended listening periods for hours.  ...

Here's what I'm looking for and perhaps you all can steer me in the right direction. 1) If I'm watching movies/games I would like some form of surround (virtual/real). So that if I'm gaming, I'd like to be able to tell if someone is behind me. 2) I need them to be portable. I plan on using...

Hi everyone.  I almost just pulled the trigger on a set of Denon Ah-d600's earlier. But after some more research I thought I may be able to get away with something I would like just as much and save some cash.  One set that looked appealing and cheap are the Ultraphone HFI-780's.   I listen...

Hi,   I'm a long time lurker and this is my first post so please don’t be harsh on me. Please keep in mind that this is my personal opinion and experience. Your mileage may vary.     Few weeks ago I got myself pair Audo-technica’s ATH-M50 and they were great. However their clamping...

Hey everyone, I want to keep this short, I'm looking at upgrading to some nicer, over ear headphones for music listening and so far it looks like the ath m50 is the best choice for my budget.   Here's my question: I know from reviews that the m50s sound excellent.  I'm going to be...

Hello, all! I'm looking for great headphones for dubstep. I'm talking super bassy bass. I love the level of bass beats have, but they're way too expensive and over priced. On-ear prefered. Thank you for any help! I was looking at the sol republic tracks. Are they good for dubstep? My friend has...

        Hello,  As you could probably tell by me not knowing anything I'm doing, I'm new around here. But I have one question. I am interested in up-grading from Beats by Dre (Solos) And BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING, because I know how you all love Beats.. I am very aware that they are very...
