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...

Hi.   As can be seen in some of my other posts here, I like the sound of the AKG K77's. I think they have great bass, but not overpowering, but with slightly recessed mids and treble. The sound signature overall is appealing to me. Can any other Head-Fi'ers who own or have heard the K77's...

Hello everyone, I am out here because I would like your opinions on getting a headphone that fits my criteria. Alright my budget is under AUD300 and what I want in this headphone is that it needs to be: 1) comfortable ( will be wearing it for 3+ hours) 2) leak proof (really important since I...

I want to get my son headphones for Christmas for under $100. He will use them pretty much for his ipod to listen to music and ipad to watch movies. The ones I have looked at are Sony MDR-V6, Sennheiser HD-280 pro headphones and Sony MDR-XB500. Which one of those would be the best fit for him...

Hello Head-fi community! This is my first post and I would appreciate opinions on which of these two headphones I should purchase. I am aware that one is around-the-ear, but I have heard great things about its sound quality. Noise cancelling is nice to have but not a necessity, and I generally...

I'm still on my search for the perfect headphone. I want an on-ear (portable) style that sounds very good, but doesn't leak AT ALL.   I work in a quiet office, and I don't want to annoy my coworkers.   So far, I've auditioned dozens of headphones. I've found several that sound good, and...

Hello!  I am kinda new to the whole headphone business and mostly have just been using whatever i find.  I am in need of some headphones that are in the mid 100s range or lower.  I mainly listen to dubstep, drum and bass, house, and hard rock.  I love bass but don't want to overpower everything...

Hi Headfi. Love this forum, even though I'm brand new here! Anyways, as I said in the title I would love to upgrade from my PortaPros. I think they're a great pair of headphones, but I know there's better out there if I'm willing to shell out the dough. What I really like about my PortaPros...

I am goin to get on of the two but which one, I listen to hip hop and I love bass and clear crisp sound I listen to hip hop rap. I want bass and I'm aware of the lack of bass with the m80s. If I use the e11 amp how much will it improve bass will it make the bass the same as the lp2s? Will it be...

I'm looking for a new pair of headphones with this criteria. Preferably, it'll also look slim/sleek, similar to M50s or V MODA Crossfades as I'd like to wear them out in public whenever I'm not using them on my computer for video games/casual music listening. But most of the time I'll be using...

So, recently i had purchased a new pair of headphones, the V-Moda M80, which are very appealing to me. Before i bought this item, i had did a bit of  research on it to see if i was wasting my money or not, and in my case, i surely did not! They perform exceptionally well to me, but from the...

Hey Headfi! This is my first review that I am posting, so this might be below average. Sorry, but i'll try my best. Earlier today, I recieved my long awaited Fiio E6 amplifier. I have been looking forward to this amp for a while now, so i'm very excited. When I got home, I immediately plugged...

Hi everybody, I am new to the head-fi forums. I have an ipod classic 120 gig that I use with my v-moda crossfades. My format for my music on my Ipod is 325 kb/s AAC. I was wondering if using something like a fiio e6 or e11 wo uld help improve the sound of the headphones? Would it be a cleaner...

My portable gear is simple-a Sony A-Series Walkman (data is .wav) and Shure SE535 Special Edition.  I'm interested in making the transition to a portable closed-back headphone, and would like to request suggestions based on personal experience.   I'm looking for a portable closed-back...

Hi guys, New here, and I wanted to know what the best headphones I could get for under 140$ -150$. I'd like them to be fairly aesthetic (I like how Beats by Dre Solo look like but too many people have them and I've read they're not worth the price). Hopefully something that's not too big. 1)...

Hello, I'm currently working in Afghanistan, and I travel around a lot when I'm out here.  I'm currently looking for a set of headphones that have good sound quality and are very durable.  I am somewhat of a klutz, and my stuff gets beat up from traveling.  I was at an airport before I came...

Guys, your help will be appreciated to choose a portable headphone that does not require an amplifier, up to $200.   My source of music will be a last generation Ipod Classic (160gb). Now I'm using Koss Porta-Pro's, and I want to move forward.   After a lot of research (including an...

Which one of this does a better job of keeping your music in for people who've heard both?

Hi i'm a newbie here, I was searching through the forum but i cant find anything i want. So i just wanna ask, which headphones would be suitable for listening to kpop (which basically consists of pop, electronic pop (including some rap) and ballads) and a bit of rap? I want something that can...

A few questions for the m50 vs. m80:   1. which one has the clearer, more detailed, and more transparent midrange? 2. which one has the larger soundstage? 3. which one is more comfortable? 4. which one has the greater bass?   I have the m80 and think they sound great but they hurt...
