OK, I have been looking for a new set of phones, and I need advice on what I should get based on my price range ($150 or less) and music preference. My last set was the JVC HA-RX700. These are pretty good phones for the price, but they are HUGE and have a sort of "buzz" at really high or low...

I don't know much about headphones and definitely not a audiophile. But my formal phones(senns and at under $100 range) failed me badly. They are either uncomfortable after a while or have bad  qualities. Then I started to look for a decent headphone about $150-$300, with exceeding comfort and...

Was wondering about this and when I mean expensive the price is 200+ USD.

Hi there, I tried looking through the forums, but I couldn't find anything that addressed all the issues I have. I wouldn't call myself an audiophile; I don't really know any of the proper terms to describe what I'm looking for but I'll do my best. I currently have a pair of Bose...

Wow, do these headphones kick. With the V200 Amp and Rega DAC and Nordost Blue Heaven RCAs, they sound perfect to me. I am sure if I heard other combos I would hear better & worse things but for my $4000, budget I am extremely happy...blown away.   Any negatives seem to come from the music...

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...

Hey guys! My ultrasone 550 pro headset just got here . But what i didnt realize when i bought it is that the 3,5mm chord (which is the one i will be using) is extremely short :( So i need a 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapter that i can put on the other, longer chord that comes with the headsets. I am...

So I recently ordered the Ultrasone pro 550, and thought I was pretty happy with them...until I turned my volume up past about halfway and heard that the left side rattles violently...   When any bassy part comes up, the right side handles it pretty well, but the left side rattles and...

Hi guys,   I need some help with choosing a pair of over ear headphones. i have been lurking in the forums for quite some time now and decided to create an account because there is nobody around me who is knowledgeable about these stuff, and the shop owners just do whatever they can to make me...

Whenever I listen to music loudly, it sounds stronger and more powerful to say. Not just because it's loud, but it has power behind it. Is there a pair of headphones that can recreate this feel without them having to be turned up so loud, as I do not want to damage my ears in the long run.  ...

  So basically my HD555 died after almost 3 years of heavy use. I love them to death so I’m thinking about buying them again. But 3 years have gone by is there anything out there that’s better then them? I was leaning toward the Senn HD 518 because it has a bit more bass then the HD555. After...

i have hi fi system marantz mcr 502 with speakers i can listen the music on my hifi just with headphones because i live in a building that has a very,very bad sound isolation (i don t think that it could be worse than this) my flat is on the second  floor and i can hear everything what...

I bought and returned the Monster Turbines a few weeks ago, as their weight made them an impossible fit for me. I replaced them with a full sized set of Ultrasone PRO 550's which I absolutely LOVE, but the more I use them the more skeptical I become of listening to them on the bus...    So...

So I am having a lot of trouble deciding on which pair of over-ear headphones I should buy. I recently purchased a pair of ATHAD700s, but after using them a little while, I couldn't take the excessive leaking and lack of isolation, since I'm using them in college (I know, open-air, bad choice)...

Hey guys, I am new to Headfi and am thinking of purchasing these headphones for portable use.  Was wondering if anyone has these and can tell me a bit more about them.  I am most concerned with clarity, bass, wide soundstage and separation of instruments.  I have the Ultrasones proline 550 but...

I know Ultrasones (generally speaking) are meant to be burned in for an insane amount of time (I've heard as long as 500 hours. That seems a tad excessive, but who knows?).  Nonetheless, I feel the need to share some first impressions about these relatively unspoken-of cans.   I'll start...

Soooo any suggestions? I can use around 100-150$ or so. 

I'd like to start by saying I'm sorry for starting a new thread on this. I thought I had made my choice, then I noticed the DJ1 models and... yeah.    So between the HFI 780, DJ1/HFI 580, and DJ1 Pro/PRO 550, what would be my best choice? I listen to a wide variety of music, essentially all...

Okay, so I just wanted to create this thread for anyone who is trying to decide which of the Ultrasone headphones to buy between the ones mentioned in the title, for clarification purposes. HFI-580 vs DJ1 They are the same exact headphones except the DJ1 has a coiled cable instead of a...

I was wondering whats the difference between these 2 when in comes to sound quality.   Also, because I might as well throw it in too, how does the PRO 750 compare between these 2?

I've been searching for the perfect headphone for QUITE sometime now and I have narrowed it down to these cans.   Originally I wanted to go with some AUDIO TECHNICA ATH-M50 but it seems like those aren't such a great value anymore. Anyone care to explain why?   Recommendation that others...

Like the title says, what would be the poor man's Ultrasone Pro 900's?  Is it HFI-580's, DT770s, DJ1 Pro, FA-011?!?  What would you guys recommend for someone who loved the sound of the Pro's but just can't get to that $300 price point?

I'm in a search of a high-quality DJ style headphone. Looks and comfort are important to me, as well as sound quality. Something contemporary. New, flashy. Nothing dorky. up to about $150. $200 MAX if it's a a large improvement. Thanks!

Good evening I want to buy myself a pair of decent headphones and I have about R1000(rand) ($140) to spend. I don't really know a lot about headphones, but I do want Noise reduction and some surround sound. Im open to all options   Thanks   Greg (apologies if i sound like a complete idiot)

I'm heading off to college in late september and I'm probably going to get 110 bucks for some new closed cans. I've ahd the ATH-AD700's and I like em, but I'd like some full size closed cans for music. Any help?   Here's the list of recommendations I've gotten on another forum. DT770...
