I've bought two other headphones the Beats for $300 and the Sennheiser RS 160. The beats were heavy and had too much bass and this is coming from someone who listens predominantly to hip hop/ rap. The RS 160 was great and i loved the wireless capability(even though I couldn't switch to wired to...

Hello Head-fi community. I'm sure you've seen plenty of threads like this one, but I'm new to the audiophile world, so any help is much appreciated. I enjoy listening to Avicii-type music, but also into soft music and Alternative. The last thing I would want in a pair of headphones is an...

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 439's, should I buy a Fiio e11 amp with L9 LOD to upgrade my sennheisers, or should I buy V-Moda Crossfade LP's or ATH-M50s?   Requirements of New Headphones:   Budget ( 100-200)   Circumaural, closed back   Sound isolation (no battery)  ...

Hi,   I'm relatively new to this forum and was hoping I could get advice. Basically, I'm looking to get a replacement set of headphones for my iPhone for commuting to and from work. I'm using some Audio Technica ATH CKS55i in-ears at the moment and although they are quite nice, overall I'd...

Hi, folks! I'm fairly new to this forum so this is my first post. I'm currently looking for some headphones for my iPod classic. This is my first pair of headphones (since my earbuds broke) so I'm fairly new to all these. Initially I wanted to get a pair of Razer Electra's since they were $60...

How much of a quality difference are we talking here? The Crossfade Over-Ear line has pretty much every feature that's important to me in my daily life and I've considered jumping up in quality but I thought you guys would have some good advice on if I would be wasting my money or not. Are they...

I have a hard time deciding between these three headphones(notice i'm only into on earsdue to the smaller form factor) and i honestly am into some decent aesthetics in a pair of headphones... so right now the  Sol republic trakh HD's, V-MODA crossfade M-80's and the Monster DNA's are what i'm...

Well my lil sis has been looking for sexy closed higher end (mid fi) headphones for a few months. I've given her some suggestions like AKG's, but she says it's too expensive, so I'm just going to buy something for her birthday next month. She really is looking for something sophisticated I...

So here's the deal...   My birthday is coming up and I'm going to ask for some good headphones instead of the usual crappy 10 bucks ones. But there are a couple of conditions. First of all, I'm not sure how much my parents would spend on 1 gift for me, but I'm pretty sure it's between...

I ask this because I was listening to some $400 beats pro or whatever, and it sounded SO FREAKING BAD.   I recently spent $35 on a pair of cheap ass headphones which have extremely surprising quality for the price, but are not very comfortable, and they sound about as good as the $400...

I'm looking to purchase headphones within the sub $130 range. Which of these IEM's do you think is best? Can you recommend other ones if you find one that you think is better? I listen to basically all genres of music. 

I already posted a thread on the beginner forum and got some good advice. Between reading different reviews and articles here, I think I've found what I want. I've had some experience with IEMs and supra aural headphones and they don't quite fit my needs. I ride the bus on a daily basis, enjoy...

Hey gang!   I was about to purchase the JVC Xtreme Xplosives HAM5x, when suddenly the retailer said the weren't available anymore in Canada where he was located, and finding a decent reliable and rather cheap retailer that ships internationally with a reasonable pricing came with no luck (I...

What are good headphones for metal music besides Grados?

Simple question, Which is better? Both are priced within 3 dollars of each other  Priority qualities for me would be noise isolation, and a competent enough bass (Not beats amounts required) but i like abit of base. Really darn confusing because both are damn good looking in their own...

Well, its that time again. Searching for new head gear, but an upgrade from vmoda's crossfade lp. They are OK, nice isolation and all but the comfort is killing me. I can't wear these things for an hour without getting a headache. I need something comfortable and something to relax to. Alright...

I bought them on Tuesday and was planning on returning them because the hinges that connects them to the Ear cups were about to let the earcups fall off and it actually did  as I was putting them back in the case and box to ship back to amazon                 Now I recently bought the...

Alright, Im looking at crossfade lp, ultrasone pro 900, and the beyerdynamics dt770 pro, whats best for bass impact and decent mids and highs? Whats the best fiio amp for use with a zune hd? Thanks

Hello everyone , This is my second post ( first didnt get any replies) and i have a question , I was looking for a new headphone and i saw the v-moda crossfade lp's on amazon for $120 which is 90 euro's and i thought that was a good price ( on the v-moda website 140 euro's).   Are these...

Hi This is my first post.  I'm wondering if there was a major difference between the v mode crossfade lp and lp2 in terms of sound.  Is the lp2 with the extra $75?  Thanks for the help, I'd appreciate any input!

Looking to pick up a set of Around Ear for under $200.  I like cans to have a good bump in bass, but not overkill ("Dre's").  I am very interested in comfort this time around.  [If Bose AEs sounded good, they would be my choice].  What would be some opinions on this question:  V-Moda Cross LP...

Do v moda crossfade lp need to have amp to obtain their max performace? Or can an iPod just do the thing. 

I currently have a pair of V-Moda Crossfade LP's. I was wondering if it would be worth it to buy a mobile amp for them, if so, any suggestions?
