Hello everybody! I'll finally be getting my first set of headphones after the PX200-II and I want to select the best in the bunch. I've narrowed down my choices to HFI 780, PRO 900 and HD25 but can't decide from them.   I'm a basshead metalhead. I want to have a thumping double bass...

I am trying to replace my Sennheiser wireless headphones with a pair of wired headphones. Please note that I am not a frequent user of headphones. I also dislike wireless headphones in general.   My requirements are specific and I will try to be as clear as possible. I am looking for...

I am very interested in these two cans with plenty of base which I like. What's the main difference between these (in bass, treble, highs). Is PRO 900 worth the extra cash? I'm now using the portable amplifier FiiO E11 with a nice bass-boost with my Bose QC15 which doesn't has that much base...

Ok first post.:   I've purchased several headphones prior but this is my first time doing it with "my eyes open".   I currently own a pair of Beats By Dre Studio headphones... I love Love LOVE The bass on them (yes another basshead). Problem is i hate everything else. I'm no audiophile...

Been looking for some good basshead cans...my two priorities are overall clarity of sound and depth of bass. I'm sick of being suggested phones that have huge mid-bass; I love bass but I have no need whatsoever for excessive bloatedness or darkness or warmth. I want my music to sound clear and...

I auditioned the PRO900 over the summer and I thought " OH GOD. THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR." THAT BASS SLAM. THAT IMPACT. THAT " OH GOD I THINK I JUST WENT DEAF FROM ALL THIS BASS!"   Yes, my reaction deserved capslock. That's how mind blowing it was. While I was there, I also tried...

Hello all! I have read and searched for a while but couldnt find a clear answer. Can someone point me in the right direction? My current headphones are Grados sr80s and UE super.fi 5 pros. I love both of them to some extent, the sr80s seem too bright in my opinion unless I somewhhat tame it with...

I heard about them from here, and I been wondering . how much better are they, then my AD700's. Because I was thinking about grabing them, when I get extra cash. I like my AD700's it just the way the padding are design annoy my ears alot.Because I cant get them on fixed on my head right.

As per title, i'm not sure whether to spend more than a $120-160 on the m50 or around $50 for the XB500.   Tried eq-ing the XB500, but still a bit too bassy at certain parts of certain songs. Auditioned both and found the XB500 bass to be over slightly empowering some songs even though i set...

When I connect my d4 with the usb so I'm using the dac+amp, it makes bass sound crackly, I don't know how else to explain it. If I'm using just the amp without the dac, this problem doesn't happen. Is this known to happen with the d4? If so would I be better off with an e9+e7? I'm using...

I haven't been around for a while, but I've misplaced my IE6s (which I didn't like that much anyway) and I'm looking for a good IEM with a sound signature closer to Ultrasone, specifically the HFI 780s. I've had Ultrasone Pro 900s before but they felt too warm and didn't seem as quick as the HFI...

I'm looking for a set of open travel headphones to replace the old Koss Porta-Pro and Sennheiser PX100s that have done long duty as my travel partners.  Both are starting to make that crackle from time to time that says the cable is failing.   Have long enjoyed Etymotic in-ear headphones -...

Over the past week or so I've been visiting the forums and other websites a lot looking into what'd be a nice replacement set of cans for my Sony NC-7 (actually thought these were good for a while, with the 'cancellation' turned on). I guess I owe it to my audiophile friend for dragging me in a...

Hello all,   My brother in law is currently looking for some headphones for his daily commute around the train system in NYC.  I've been out of the headphone game for a while, and the new amount of choices are really staggering.  He brought up the beats, but after reading threads around here...

What do you guys think? The Grado SR325i is $50 more than the Ultrasone HFI 780. Can't decide.

I just got this amp and have been out of the head-fi scene for a year or so.  I modded the HD555 and ever since I really enjoyed modding and listening to different headphones.  I had the AD700, HD555, RE-ZERO, TL-02, and a cheap Sennheiser model.  The RE-ZERO's had to be my favorite because of...

How many of you don't know squat about headphones? If you didn't raise you're hand then maybe you'd be willing to help me out...     I'm in college and in the library a lot but also like to listen to music on the go as well, not to mention i love to watch shows/tv/music on my laptop before...

Recently sold my k701s as I just couldnt get on with them, too much sibilance, not enough drive and as exciting as watching paint dry. I actually prefer my aging and far cheaper Beyerdynamic dt 311s (which considering their age and cost are remarkably musical.) The k701s did demonstrate though...

I have a question regarding amps and I wasn't sure where to post it, as I am not sure if I want a portable amp or a desktop amp. I have recently purchased a pair of Ultrasone HFI-780 headphones for use at my home desk and would like a way to conveniently switch between sources, I would also...

Looking for recommendations for a DAC/Amp combo or DAC and Amp with a nice sleek look.  This will primarily be for home use for my PC in my office.  The cans I'm using are the HFI-780 w/ an Fiio E7 for portability.  I would like to piece everything together under 500$, however if I need to spend...

I'm looking for a pair of closed-headphones within the $150-$200 range. I primarily listen to Jazz, Fusion, Orchestral, Electronica.... I hate the sound of the Klipsch ImageOne and like the sound of the Sennheiser HD 558, so something similar to that sound but closed.   Thanks
