I actually think Beats are a great gateway into the higher level of listening world. I used to always think that my little earbuds would do me fine. Then one day I walked into a Best Buy and there was the beats stand, so I tried em on. Fell in love with the way they sounded (at the time) and...

I highly recommend giving the Koss KSC75 a try. They can be bought for less than $15 on Amazon and I must say, they are a truly amazing headphone, especially at this price. I have a pair of Bose QC15 that I use for noise cancelling, and I honestly listen to my KSC75's more often because I think...

Thanks for the advice. Haven't really thought about it that way, I already have some of the best noise cancelling phones made so why not go for an open back that will give me the sound I have been craving. I'll do some research on those cans you mentioned. Think I'm going to look into the HD 558...

I own QC15 and the noise cancelling is indeed unmatched. I think you nailed it when you compared it to witchcraft. You can't even hear outside noise on a super low volume.

Ya, just don't worry bout it. I used to argue with kids at school and no matter what, they don't budge from their beats standpoint. I gave up and I just let em do what they want now. Your have just chosen to educate yourself more on the topic and they haven't, maybe they will eventually choose...

Would something like the M50's or a pair of Crossfade's be an upgrade sound quality wise? I really like the way my QC15's sound but I know Bose generally isn't respected around here so I am getting this feeling of ignorance I guess where the only reason I am content is because it is the best I...

I would be interested in an Ohio meet. I'm near the Akron area but I don't have much equipment to contribute (a beat up pair of QC15). Also I don't get my license for a few months and my schedule doesn't always permit so I don't think I would be able to travel too far. Now if we did one next...

I personally own the Bose QC15 and the noise cancellation is by far superior to pretty much any other headphone from my experience. I don't have the funds to try high end headphones but I really like my QC15's. I would recommend them for someone who is in noisy environments and when comparing...

This is gonna be good...

Ya I know, they wouldn't be like that if I had bought em new :( Person who gave em to me had beat em up pretty bad. Can't complain about free headphones though, they get the job done :D lol

Right now I am using a pair of Bose QC15. A friend of my dad gave them to me a couple months ago. He had lost the original cable that Bose makes for them so I went and picked up a Belkin Auxiliary cable so I could try em out(mainly cause I'm lazy and impatient and didn't feel like waiting for em...

School was called off due to wind today and while browsing Head-Fi I came across this thread. So I decided to make my own headphone stand. An hour and a half with a handsaw, sandpaper, a hot glue gun, and some extra wood outta the garage and I ended up with this. I wanna polish it up still so I...

I think I will do the amazon thing. Get headphones I think I will like, let em run all night to burn em in. And If I like them then I will just keep em. If not return em.

Never personally tried them, but have researched them a lot and I think they will suit what you want! Plus they are a VERY cheap headphone compared to the beats, you can get them for around $50. Plus you won't look like a follower by wearing something that EVERYBODY has. Beats are more of a...

I have been looking around the site here more and I have seen the Ultrasone HFI-580's get recommended a couple times. Supposedly they  are supposed to have more bass with an improvement from the mids of the M50's. Do these headphones have good highs as well? From what I have read they may be a...

Quote:  I have before, it's probably from putting too much pressure on the headphones jack and you can bend stuff on the inside of the player, so you have to push it to an extreme to get it to connect to the connectors that are on the inside of the port to get a proper connection. It is...

Quote:  I don't think anyone on this website would really try to burn anyone, because we all have such a passion for headphones. It's hard to think that any head-fier would try to do that anyways. But then again there is always that exception though, I doubt anything like that will show up...

Quote:  I actually really don't care for them, a lot of my friends at school have them and I think they are really over priced for what the sound quality is. I feel like they provide such an artificial sound almost I suppose. It is hard to describe but I really do not like them.

Quote:    I checked out some of those headphones and they all look pretty good. I am not sure if I want the extra bass of the m50's and giving up the mids or if I would want the more forward mids of the ATH-AD700 or the MDR-ZX700. Also out of the ATH-AD700 and the MDR-ZX700 which would...

Hey guys, I listen to a lot of different types of music. I'm afraid if I get a pair of headphones that I am not going to be able to listen to them with all of my music. And I definitely don't have enough money to buy multiple pairs, so that's out of the question. I listen to Hip Hop, Rap...

I can't take it anymore! I am on a tight budget and have been searching all over this website for weeks now for the perfect setup because I don't have a way to try headphones out and I don't have the money to just "test" over and over again. I don't think I will ever find a pair of headphones...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urNyg1ftMIU Hehe ....just had to throw that one in there for you gamers. And someone please play that song with like some HD800's or some LCD-2's and tell me how amazing the experience was....maybe one day my friends... maybe one day.

You know, so im laying on my bed heartbroken because I lost the gel tip to my earbuds... A head-fier who can't listen to his music.. sad story I look over and and see my xbox and I have my turtlebeach x11 headphones sitting right there next to my xbox. Love em and im thinking, well if I can't...

Hey all, so I am on a pretty tight budget. I don't like having to limit myself to such a low price right now, but im gonna have to do with what I got. I have some earphones right now and I would really like to get a pair of circumaural headphones. In ears tend to irritate my ears after listening...

Okay, so I found an app called MyTunes Pro. I haven't tried to buy the full version yet (don't feel like spending 7 bucks yet) but it let's you trial the full version for 10 minutes each day and it provides a MASSIVE sound quality upgrade.... like it sounds like my sansa now good. Try it out and...
