Hello,        I'm sort of new to the whole Headphone scene. For years i've just been running around with the standard ipod earbuds, but just recently purchased Beats Solo HD. They were basically just temporary headphones until the next paycheck comes in because I didn't have enough funds for...

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...

$575 opened box item! Almost half off retail price! They still have 1 for $586 if anyone wants to jump on it. I'm returning my Pro 900 so this is really my Christmas/bday gift for myself :D. Do you guys think that was a good deal? I made sure to call amazon before purchasing to make sure it was...

Which of the two headphones from the title would be best for Bass, techno, House, and Dance music?   I had the Senheiser IE8 but they broke, and new ones are too expensive. I was very happy with them. Do any of the headphones from the title sound something like the IE8's? better? worse?  ...

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...

I am currently in the market for a new set of headphones.  It seems like everyone has a lot of knowledge here when it comes to headphones so I thought you guys would be able to help me out.   I'm not looking for anything out of this world, but something of good quality with a reasonable...

Hi all,   I am currently using Ultrasone Pro900s for my home setup and am considering upgrading. Although, I like them in the main, I have always found the highs a bit too bright for me. Even with 100s of hours of use, I still cant quite get used to them. Aside from that, I have a case of...

So i recently purchased a pair of ultrasone pro 900s and at first I really liked them, but I've been having this nagging problem that the midrange is way to recessed and I'm thinking that maybe I should try a different set of cans now. I absolute love the detail in the pro 900s and the mid bass...

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...

I'm currently driving my Ultrasone Pro 900 directly from my Yulong D100. It's an awesome DAC with a totally decent built-in headamp, but it's VERY transparent, bordering on cold. I like my DAC as transparent as possible, but for the Pro 900's I'd love a slightly warmer presentation. I'm not...

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.

i am looking for headphones with good sound and i have come across these 2 for the bass head now what i want is bass that shakes your head and with sound quality that is very good not amazing but good i am looking to spend around 400 us  but i live in hong kong and i prices are a bit wired here...

Howdy,   Let me start by saying I love music but I am new the the audiophile scene and I had a question.  I have tried doing all my own research but every time I pick a set of headphones I find more data that dissuades me.  I currently plan on buying HFI-580s and generally everything about...

Hello headfi!  I'm looking for a new pair of headphones. The headphone is going to be connected to my receiver (pioneer vsx-415) then throu an toslink to my computer. The headphones should be good for both music and gaming! I listen to pop,Rnb,some rap and some acoustics. I live in sweden btw...

I'm using my Mk3 at work, but it picks up mobile signals all the time, so i'm looking a for an alternative with similliar characteristics for around $300.   Ill be using a pair of Ultrasone 900 Pro.   Any suggestions?

So these are the final headphones on my list. If I was to get the 580s, I will also get a cowon player and an amp like an e11. If I was to get the 900s, I would only get a player or amp, but not both. What do you guys think would sound better? I like a lot of mid-bass punch as well as some...

Hey guys just a quick question, Is there any bass heavy open HPs because usually when I see people recommending bass heavy HPs they are mainly closed.

Hello,   New member but avid forum user before I joined. Thanks to everyone, learned a lot about headphones and portable amps (omg, they can be expensive!) reading threads.    I'm an IEM user wanting to upgrade? to full-size closed over ear headphones. It will be used for everyday...

Hey guys.   I'm about to buy some Ultrasone DJ1s and I heard they're not that comfortable. I was thinking I could stick the sony XB series pads on them for comfort. The sony XB pads look awesomely comfortable. Does anyone know where I can find some. OH and what other pads should/can I use...

  Hello everyone!   I am a long time reader and new audiophile let me tell you a little about my journey   Initially I cared very little about sound reproduction and clarity and mainly used ipod headphones and cheap sony headphones. I did not have a music collection and mainly played...

  To Start…   There are a lot of amps out there that use exotic topologies and expensive parts.  Even “budget” amplifiers try to get in on this game.  Too often, that practice fails and you end up with a “transparent” amp that is anything but.  Or an amp is made that trades reliability for...

I have a pair of Grado SR-60i.  Since I've never put on a pair of headphones that costs more, I find them very nice sounding.  They are kind of 'get my foot in the door' headphones into the higher fidelity sounding headphones.   My question is, how much more do I have to spend on another...

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...

Now, I narrowed it down to Beats Studio and Sennheiser HD 25 ... I think they are the best for my budget, but I still can't decide between them ... I hope I get  more reponses ...  I listen my music from my Android phone ... For Genre I listen to almost every kind ... I'm going to use...
