I live in a small town in western Colorado, so test driving headphones is pretty difficult. I had some spare time last week, so I walked into the local box store with my sony X and mini3 to try out the few headphones they had.   the reason I stopped by was a new pair of sennheiser's they...

Hello all, first thread on Head-fi!   I've been searching for the perfect cans for some time now. What I've been after is semi-portable, closed, full-size cans that match my musical taste which is mainly bass-heavy electronic music such as DnB and dubstep.   So far I own HD25's...

For those of you waiting to purchase an Ultrasone for a little less, this might do it for you.   https://www.rmcaudiodirect.com/Articles.asp?ID=150

I feel like I'm missing something, but don't know what.  I believe it is the mids.  I would get 1 more headphone (really).  So-what am I using:  Ultrasone 2200, Beyer 770, HARX 700-at times and portable k 420.  I also can use A700.  Now, admittedly, I don't know all that much, but I think the...

So I recently was infected by Head-Fi and bought myself an ipod, a portable dac/amp, and some headphones.  I have a very long train commute to work, so I figured I might as well get in some quality listening time.  I recently put all the pieces together for a couple trial runs and it turns out...

I know it is cliche, but help me please?   I've got a situation here.  I thought I was knowledgeable about this stuff.  But a few minutes here on Head-Fi and all my thoughts got jumbled.   So I recently got all these phones: M50, AD700, and MS1.  Low impedance: 38, 32 and 32 ohms...

Hi,   I have been browsing around the forum and found quite a lot of answers to my questions, but cant seem to be able to pick the right cans for my setup.   So I am getting the j3 mp3 player from Cowon next month and am probably going with a cmoy amp to go with it. Now I have picked out...

I purchased a PA2V2 off a member here. However, with everything plugged in and the unit turned off I can still hear music. It's not very loud but it is def. there. Is this normal? I'm having a hard time adjusting the dials inside the amp to actually here beneficial sound. It def. gets louder but...

My choices are the following:  Sony MDR-V6 50 dollars Sony MDR-V900HD - 50 dollars Audio Technica ATH-M40FS - 90 dollars Audio Technica ATH-M50 - 136 dollars Ultrasone PRO 650 - 170 dollars For reference I'm using AKG 271 MK2 right now. I like them but I want more bass and punch in the...

So I'm sort of new to the whole High-end Audio although I've been lurking around for quite a while... And I'm looking to finally start spending some money on it. And I know that 150$ is nothing compared to the top notch headphones, but I have to start somewhere and its not gonna be the HD800's...

  Hi guys   I have been searching the net and  found these headphones at the same price range. What is the differences between these headphones.   I'm looking for a closed back head phone, is there a better headphone in this price range. I like Techno, DnB, Dub Step and Rock mostly...

Hi!   I am looking for a new full sized headphone and am looking for suggestions.   Necessary: I like "thumping" bass, I for example like the Denon D2000 but it has "flubby" bass. The ATH-ES7 has better bass, but it could be even punchier :) It should be suitable for outside use. So...

Vote.  I'm very torn.  Don't care about accessories and whatnot.  What sounds better?  I'm looking for good listening cans, not monitoring cans.   I've searched but there aren't many threads comparing pro line vs hfi.  also this was supposed to be a poll, what's the dealio why didn't my poll...

Just got my pro 650s in from the deal going on the passed couple of weeks. Now i know the impedance is 75ohms and any portable player will have a hard time driving it. So i'm looking for a portable amp.  I will be using the headphones at home with my computer (currently have the xonar D1 sound...

Just received confirmation of the shipping of my new amps from IBasso...just as when I ordered my D3, fast response to emails, fast response to order, next day shipping both times. Photos to come when they arrive! I figured Id combine the two amps in one thread to simplify my time on the...

I owned the beats tour by dr. Dre, as well as some koss headphones and I really want to step up. I listen to a lot of heavy metal and electronic music, which I love the bass kick of the drums and the bass crash of electronic music, yet still appreciate crisp highs and mids. Looking for a good...

Which is better for rap/hip hop?  M50's or HFI 780's?   I'll be listening to these on my Sansa Clip+ unamped.   How good are they movies/gaming wise?     LET THE BATTLE BEGIN       .............^^ hehe too much?

I use the pro 900's at home. Curious to the 15G's as a walk around pair. I worry they might be a tad too thin sounding. Anyone try them?

Hi I am getting about $130 this week to buy headphones and don't which would be the best for an ipod unamped at work. I don't want to look too stupid so the bigger phones are a last resort. By the way, I love my grado 225 sound. Help!!!!

I have decided i'm willing to spend up to $400 max, sorry for creating lots of threads my priorities have changed and so has my budget.   Here are my priorities, the list IS in order from most to least important but they are all important :)  I don't mind if its open or closed, YOU CHOOSE as...

I was planning on buying an Ultrasone Pro900 for a while, since I listened to a friend of mine's Pro750 and ADORED the sound. The cheapest pair I can find is currently 400 bucks, so I'm changing my search up and I'm going to invest in something cheaper to satisfy me until I can afford the...
