Hello,   This is my first post and it is really long...so be gentle          So I have been doing a lot of research for the past week on deciding what cans to get and I have narrowed it down to either the Ultrasone Pro 900 or the Denon D2K. However, they are quite pricey and without any...

I thought I'd start a new thread so we can gather results from all the Headphones we've tried with the Pono  (good or bad) and any fixes that took them from bad to great.   The other day I got the 650's and gave them a spin on my Marantz CD Player connected to my Little Dot MKIII tube Amp. I...

Whenever I listen to music on my headphones, I have a lot of difficulty in creating a soundstage. This is specifically my problem:   When vocals and drums play through my headphones, they sound as if they are a single instrument, and I can place the singer / drummer somewhere around me if I...

Price isn't an issue. I currently own the HD580s and 650s, but people here say they aren't good for metal (even though I don't find them to be bad in any way). Any suggestions? I listen to: Symphonic Metal (Within Temptation, Nightwish, Epica, Xandria, After Forever, and Haggard) Melodic...

How can I calculate how badly I am hurting my ears with these? I found a dB calculator, but couldn't figure out the mV output of the uDac-2.  My headphones say 75ohms and 95 dB which I assume is 95dB/mw? If I am listening at half volume (6 o clock) what dB am I at?

just received my brand new pro 650 and got some strange problems   on the left ear is almost no highs and bas than on the right side on the right side less bass than on the left side  and it sound like there is less isolation than on the left side   and if i wear it otherwise its just...

I am looking for: best mids for under $300, Open, over-the-ear full size headphone - to use at basement home office. Looking for soundstage and separation.   I have not yet experienced bass detail, nor airiness - curious about these characteristics.   I thought I had wanted treble...

My friend who plays acoustic guitar wants a pair of sond MDR-X10's with the reason that beats vocals sound underwater-like (Finally someone gets it). I warned him saying that MDR-X10s are bassy too, and are also underwater-like. He doesn't like swampy bass, but he also can stand anemic bass...

I'm sorry for such a rubbish thread opener. I have been slogging round the reviews all day, and I'm more confused then when I started. I have three requirements. 1.) Really Comfortable. 2.) Under £200 ( thats 320 dollars apparently) 3.) I am not willing to need an amp. A...

Hi guys, I am looking for a pair of headphones priced between $200-400. I am looking for a pair that puts emphasis on the tremble and mids. I like clear mids and very detailed tremble. I could care less about bass. To give you a sense of what i am looking for: my yama eph100 are my favorite...

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my thread!   I am currently looking for a nice headset for gaming and music purposes (would also consider headphones with clip on mic). I would mostly be playing MMOs and some FPS games like BF3 on the PC and the music I listen to is mostly from...

Hey guys;   I am looking for hi-fi over ear closed headphones about 150$. Natural sound is important for me. As you see on the title i want for rock. It will be nice if it look good but not too important.    Thanks for advices.

Hey I been looking into what headphones to get for the past week and have been very VERY indecisive about my situation.   My Specifications First, off i am still open for either an on or over ear headphone (heading towards the over ear) Second, and quality just for bass. A lot of house...

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...

Hi, I'm in the market for a great, long-lasting pair of full-size closed headphones.  I've been browsing the Head-Fi forums for a while now and have gotten quite a lot of great information (thanks!).  After demo-ing a few models at a local pro-audio store, I'm left with a few questions that they...

Hey Head-Fiers,   I've been trolling for a little while, trying to learn what I can.   Having just put together a new m-ITX build, I was wanting to get some new headphones to use in conjunction with the new computer.   I was looking quite closely at the new ATH-A700x closed cans...

Hi,   I prefer to listen to a varied field of genres, but my primary focus is on electronic music. I store all my music in lossless formats and use an ASUS Xonar Essence One DAC for playback. I'm now looking for a pair of headphones to supplement the detailed sound of the DAC since my...

Whats up! So after seeing the "most over-rated headphone" thread, and the "whats the worst headphone you ever heard" thread, and similar threads in that vein, I had an idea: what about a thread that encourages people to list headphones they feel are under-rated/unknown/real dark horses that...

I'm leaning toward the Dt-770 Pro's (80ohms). Are there any other cans out there around the 200 dollar range?

    Well, I'm new into the hifi audio world and wow..have I been awakened..and, well I want my mind to be blown with the right pair of headphones. I'm using an Asus Xonar STX soundcard, which has been amazing compared to what I had before it..a $25 dollar pair of USB headphones - Microsoft's...

Okay, So right now I have some Skullcandy Hesh & Skullcandy Gi (I know not the best but gotta start somewhere right?) and the bass is okay on the headphones but they arent cutting it for me anymore. I was looking to buy some head that literally will make your head vibrate because of the bass at...

Hello to you all,   after having read so many threads and info (almost everything I found in here and other places, geraslutz in paticular) I still have a few questions which I hope you will be able to answer, so here goes:   I was (still am a bit actually) looking for a new pair of cans...

Oh boy guys, I am overwhelmed! I've been sifting through posts here for the last 5 days and becoming more and more indecisive. I'm new here and am really enjoying the threads. Thank you all. I'm a film editor with a somewhat unique situation. I work on an older Avid Media Composer with a...
