Hi there!   I currently have turtle beach x41s, which i have used for over a year now on: competitive gaming on xbox 360, metal music and a **** load of TV shows(the wire, the sopranos, spartacus: blood and sand, the shield, rome, dexter etc.)and some movies(apocalypse now, full metal...

Hey guys I'm new to this forum, and heard that it is the place to go, if interested in really quality headphones.  I've been doing a lot of research on here and narrowed down to a few pairs that I seem to hear good things about.  So I want to be sure that I am getting the best I can by asking...

I'm a producer and rapper looking to get a quality pair of cans. I'm not clueless when it comes to headphones, I get that the dre beats are trash for the price. I've had my eye on a few different ones but I need some trustworthy advice here. My price range is $250 max, I just want the most bang...

Not sure where to put this... Can you hear the difference between FLAC and 320Kbps on Ultrasone HFI 780?   I'm getting my new headphones for christmas tomorrow and I would like to know if I will be able to notice the difference between the two types of audio with them? I plan on listening my...

I would like to first, thank all of the many audiophiles, industry majors, and general enthusiests that pore countless hours and information into this website. I have been bitten by the sound bug, I am stepping into this brave new world with about a $300 dollar budget for cans and maybe a $200...

Hey, I've been looking for a closed back audiophile quality headphone to use as a portable set with my ipod.   After a ton of research I have it down to:   Ultrasone PRO 750 Ultrasone HFI 780 BeyerDynamic DT 770   I like to listen to hip-hop/rap so definitely want a lot of strong...

I am looking for a recommendation for a closed headphone under 300 dollars (or so) that is good for rock and has a very forward sound stage. I recently bought a pair of Grado SR 225i's and thought they were too "thin" sounding and lacked low end. However, I did like their upfront sound stage and...

Please help me choose which of the three will suit me best.  I listen to mostly electronic and alternative music with some rap/hip hop.  I read that the bass on all three is pretty good so that shouldn't be an issue.  Mids are also pretty important to me as I like to hear vocals clearly without...

Hey all,   I have been lurking and reading here for the past week trying to make a decision on the purchase of some new headphones, but decided I should register and see if I could get some input.   I certainly wouldn't consider myself an "audiophile", but when listening to music I enjoy...

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...

Hi everyone,   I am looking for a pair in the over-ear sealed headphones in the 100-300 range.       * I have a pair of Ultrasones circa 2007 that have been through hell and back with me, and still work and sound great. I am looking for a another pair that can also take a beating, or...

Hey guys! so i'm new to all this high quality audio shenanigans and would love some advice! i'm currently using and ipod touch 2nd gen (soon to get iphone) and Ultrasone hfi 780s. I would love to get an amp (or DAC. I know the difference, but not sure how they effect audio quality)...

I'm using HD 595's since ten months. I should say that I'm disappointed with the bass response. I started to search for headphones which have good bass. I ended up with Ultrasone Pro 750 and Denon AH D2000. So, which one do you think is better at bass response ? I mostly listen rock, sometimes...

Hi,   I have the LCD-2 rev2 but i would like to have a very good second pair of headphones. Althought the LCD-2 are THE headphones (IMHO), there are some things or circumstances where other headphones can do it better.   I'm looking for a headphones that meet the following criteria:  ...

hello everyone! I'm currently looking to move on from my hfi-780, and get something else that's better and badder-lol. I'm looking for something with better bass impact and extension, detail, and comfort, but please be advised that my max budget is $400. Thanks

Sorry If this was in the wrong section. I didn't know whether to put this in full or portable headphones. Ok I am distressed. I am a huge audiophile. But when it comes to choosing headphones I am completely clueless about the ones I should get. I want headphones that are amazing to listen to and...

I just got Sennheiser 598's, and I listen to lots of bass heavy music (Techno, no dumbstep though.) and I was wondering what the chances of the headphones blowing are (by that I mean, too much bass or too loud, then after that the 'phones sound like crap for everything) While on the topic of...

I've been looking at 580s forever.  I thought i mine as well get the 780s because i heard they are better.   This will be my first headphone purchased.  I'm tired of people wearing beats, so are these better than beats??   I'm going to be using these with my iPhone and laptop.  Is...

So I was duped by the sales person at guitar center, they said these headphones would have great bass. Not so much....it's actually very weak, and will distort on some tones. Very sad for $200 headphones. So, I'm still looking for some headphones that have skull shattering bass. I'm...

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...

Hi, I was just wondering if any of you could help me either choose or at least help me on my way to choose a pair of closed headphones.   I listen to Dubstep, Indie, Future Gararge, Post Dubstep (Both the last two pretty much encompass anything produced electronically that doesn't fit into...

Hey, I'm looking to buy my first pair of good headphones, and I just can't make up my mind. I've been looking for weeks now, and can't come to a decision. I have around 150-200 to spend. Main genres are Punk rock, rock, indie, folk, blues, Dubstep. I'm also open to other suggestions, but I'd...

Hey,   So I just got my first pair of good headphone( HFI 780), and at the price range I really want to take good care of it. After using it for about a week or so the "cup" started to seperate(image below)..... Is this normal....   what are some good tips on taking good care of...

Well first of all I'm new, so hello. Anyway, I ordered the MS1 around 8 days ago so I'm just waiting for them to arrive. I listen to a lot of Punk and Metal and I hear Grado are good for that kinda music, though being from the UK, they're priced pretty ridiculously here. But at the same time...

Headroom has their ESW9A's on sale for 269. I'm guessing that's a pretty good price? Might be time to finally pull the trigger. Now the question would be should I go for the ESW9A or the HFI780? The Ulatrasone's are on sale for 239 and with the shorter cord, they would be more suited for...
