Can someone please explain to me how Ohms and Hertz affect the quality of a headphone? I've recently got into the hi-fi world, I am a completely confused as how this all works. I recently bought a pair of Harmon/Kardon CL's and a Creative Sound Blaster ZX sound card. With it comes a built in...

Exhibiting tremendous restraint and not just leaping to a pair of 800's, I have slowly moved up the value / SQ chain with 20 pairs of cans. What would be the next good step up from the Pro80's? Closed or Open is fine. I listen to rock, jazz, current Asian pop, classical, prog, kraut, very...

  Maxell Retro DJ http://www.maxell.eu.com/Products/Accessories/Headphones/Retro%20DJ%20Headphones.html   Does anyone have any experience with it? Based on the experiences on the other Fischer/BW products with the same OEM, this can be most likely the same as the Fischer Audio FA-004...

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right section for this post so I apologize if it is.   I recently bought the Fischer Audio FA-004 headphones and the earpads are not large enough for me. The pads aren't deep enough so after light use my ears are aching like mad. I plan on returning it...

Hi guys I just picked up a pair of hd 449´s and im extremly impressed so far. Their reception here has been underwhelming as far as i have seen , but considering the limited supply of cans i can get in my country these are the most creap clear headphones i have ever heard. The mids pop out...

Just purchased a pair of Fischer Audio FA-004s On Ear Closed-Back headphones this is a very short and quick review:- Packaging is absolutely outstanding with a real luxurious carry case that is a proper headset bag with zip fastening included are extra ear covers and instruction...

Hey head-fiers I've been thinking recently, seen as it's Christmas loads of people have been asking me about headphone recommendations, it's been fun and I'm trying to get as many people as possible to get nice neutral ones and then put fiio e6 on bass boost, well it got me thinking what are...

Hi head-fiers, a friend of mine is looking for headphones and went to me (her local headphone geek) and is looking for cans that look good, good for pop and most other genres, under 100 pounds sound amazing (she didn't ask for that but I'd cringe if they weren't) and won't deafen her (she's...

Anybody tried them ? New closed headphones from Pro-Ject. Here's from the website: http://box-designs.com/main.php?prod=hearitone&cat=headphones&lang=en Pro-Ject Hear it One Audiophile stereo headphone Specifications • smart, audiophile & comfortable • Classic design • Adjustable...

I have been looking at headphones for a while and I cant decide what to get. I want some portable cans that are good for pop and rap. As from the title you know that it has to be about $200 with a comfortable fit for long peroids of time. They will be used for listining calmly and on the bus...

Hiya, i'm currently using a pair of Phillips SHE 3850s but I'd really like to replace them. While I love them for their sound quality, the itchy feeling I get in my ears while wearing them drives me insane, not to mention the annoyance of having to maintain a good seal in order to get that...

After reading through reviews of many earphones, it seems like a lot of them have a high bass level. Bass always gives me a headache after listening to it for a few minutes. I was wondering if there are high quality earphones with little to no bass, that produces clear, accurate sound?

so these are my necessities: (in ranking 1 to 3. 1 is the highest 3 is the lowest)   1. a bit bass heavy but with warm+sweet and good overall soundquality 2. good-looking headphones (because  im gonna use this outdoors on my way to school) 3. good isolation     i listen to all kinds of...

It seems that most of the comments on these are from Brainwavz fanboys or those that got review samples direct from Brainwavz so I thought I would give another voice, although mine doesn't count for much.   I picked up a pair of these for $40 on the Amazon sale and just received them. First...

Seems like the OEM manufacturer is getting a lot of use out of this housing. It is also used for the Incipio NX-100 F38. The question is how much different is the driver in this versus the other headphones. Their cheap enough that maybe someone wants to compare...

Good day everyone!   I've blown up my mind looking for headphones 99.99% for gaming. Most of all I prefer Call of Duty Modernwarfare 2 and Battlefield Bad Company 2 both multiplayer.   As I understand, the first and most importaint point is positioning and the second is scene. For now...

I swear, there was a consolidated recommendation thread somewhere when I was still lurking. In any case, I cannot find it.    Anyway, I need some recommendations to be thrown around for headphones around US$100. I can exceed it by a reasonable amount. Looked at the other thread with...

I dug some old mdr-v600's out of the closet but they're falling apart and sound pretty dreadful. I just want something comfortable (I have a huge head) with good bass and treble. Something that will play my love of acoustic but then womp some dubstep when I'm in the mood.      

I can get all three of theses for around the same price. Which ones would you recommend. Other suggestions also very welcome!

hey these two seems really equal in price and praise ^_^  they would be a great match against each other. i wonder if anyone had tried them both? any1? im just hunting for fa-004 then i saw these CAL! and they seem really popular as well.   i would  use them at home/portable.. m50 is...

hello there im just wondering if there any any good cheap portable headphones around? i tried both aviators and crossfades at the apple store, i like the sound of the aviators better but the build quality+comfort, its the crossfades.. aviators feels very fragile.. Also interested with FA-004 i...

Greets guys.   I'm looking for new cans, and found some that I am feeling both price- and audio wise (by way of reviews).   Both are  circumaural and look spacious.   It comes down to the Fischer-004 (replaceable cable!) or the ATH ANCA 27's. Both seem relatively comfortable...

I currently do not own any full size headphones---only iems. My current main iem is my fischer audio DBA-02, which I absolutely love. I have always preferred full size headphones to iems, but I have enjoyed the convenience of iems. I am looking for a full-size headphone that has a similar type...

So I've been on a quest to find the "best" budget headphone for listening to music at work and after trying many competitors (M50, HD280, HD555, K240S, DJ100) I finally decided on the Shure SRH440s and am reasonably happy with that decision based on what I've tried so far (though I do find them...

I am leaning towards the denon d1100.....   (light weight, bass is great, close cans, not ugly,)   going to be using it everyday on the train to block out the pan handlers from waking me up....(don't want a woman repellent on my head) , and also going to use it when I plug it up to my...
