The list needs to be updated. Someone competent should create a new thread, stick it, copy the first post, and add worthy headphones manufactured after the last update.
Where are Shure 440/840? Where are ATH-M50?

I am confused, you recommended in your post the Sennheiser CX95 for $140 and when a search the on Ebay, I got results for around $50. Here's a link. I want to make sure this is legit because this seems to good to be true.

Hello all,
I've been lurnking for so time now and doing alot of reading here. I have been want a good pair of hp's for some time. But I couldn't decide which to get. After read this guide and other posts I ordered a pair of AT ad700's and a pair of Senns HD55's. The ATs were HUGE and didn't fit my dome. The Senns fit well, so...

I'm know the proud owner of a "good pair of hp's"!

Thanks!

I'm curious as to why the Sennheiser HD580 is marked as "Amp recommended" while the HD600 is marked as "Amp required". The headphones use the same exact drivers and have the same specs (300 Ohm, 97 dB SPL).

The differences are aesthetic (headband pattern, metal grills on HD600). So, either both should be required, or both recommended. Right?

Long time reader, first time poster. Really appreciate all the extensive reviews you guys post here every day.

Am looking for headphones that I will be using at home, but also while travelling to work (approx 1 hour). Audio quality is obviously important, but comfort follows pretty closely. Budget is around €100

So far I've narrowed it down to Denon 1001 and Creative Aurvana Live which are a bit related to each other I've read. I would've purched the CAL's already, where it not that I read some posts from people that complained a bit about their comfort level. My ears aren't really big, but my head is definitely not small. I got a bit worried about the fact that some users recommended the CAL's to people with a small head.

Anyone that can elaborate on this? Or give other recommendations based on my criteria?

Much appreciated!

Hmm really? I've done a ridiculous amount of searching while searching for purchases and the clear consensus about comfort on the D1001 and CAL is that they are very comfortable, FWIR(alot lol). There will of course be outliers, but I think it's unlikely you'll find them uncomfortable :p

Well, to be honest; it was one comment on this forum that complained about comfort. I think he mentioned something like: 'I love my CAL's and would really like to keep them, but they are hurting my ears to much'.

As I mentioned I don't have the smallest of heads, so that got me a bit worried. Besides that I think the CAL's are pretty much what I want.

Anyone with some hands-on experience when it comes to the comfort level of the CAL's on average to large heads?

First time headphone buyer and looking for something with good bass and comfortable

Mainly listen to Hip Hop/Rap

Have been looking at the Grado SR60i and SHURE SRH440

Could someone help me out and recommend either of these or something that fits the criteria and is under $150

Thanks
