I mostly listen electronic music and currently have a HD668b on a D-Zero, plugged on my laptop and using Spotify at max quality, I know this is quite low in quality compared to the headphones and systems you are generally talking about on this forum, but would like to know how I may improve my...

When I was playing around with my Somic MH463, I noticed that in the pics posted by Boris there were vents around the driver on the side facing the ear: (above and below the driver)   If such vents were not present, the driver should make an airtight seal with the ear (to the extent...

I'm having trouble deciding between these 2.   I mostly want a competitive edge against my opponent.   Would the ad500x be "enough" if its just for competitive gaming?

Hey all,   I tripped over the cable of my ATH-AD500s last night, and I messed them up. They will not play through my macbook pro, and they play only a limited range of sounds on my phone and my friend's computer. I was thinking it's a cable issue, does anyone know how to get the casing open...

Hi. I will soon be able to get the hd 449 or ath ad500 at the same reasonable price. Although both boast a great sound stage and good highs and mids im confused on which to buy. This is 'cause the MRP of ath ad500 is more than hd 449, but it has had mixed reviews and i feel like it has to be...

Opinions?

Hi everyone.   Today I received my brand new AKG K550s from Amazon, my very first "Audiophile" headphones. I checked them out immediately and I was blown away by the sound quality, but.. After an hour or so, the top of my head is really sore and starts to hurt. Ignoring it for a few...

Hey Head-Fi! I'd like some suggestions for a pair of open-backed or semi-open headphones under $50.  I know about the Panasonic HTF600 and the Superlux 668b, but are there any others that you would possibly recommend more?   I have an amp, so it's not a factor whether they should be used...

I can get these for 75$ used, and have heard that they are great for gaming. That is what I will be using them for almost 100% of the time. I have my Sennheiser HD439 to listen to music with. If I get them i will probably put a mic on them. So only reason I am posting is just to ask what are...

im looking at this set and was wondering if its an upgrade over the AD500 (or even the AD700)? anyone have this set?

Hi, I wanna buy a headphones inexpensive, basically for playing on my PC. I'm looking for: Comfort, sound quality, and durability.   Which one is better from the list?     1. Sennheiser HD 419= 58.88$...

I have a pair of SoundMAGIC ES18 which is great for quite a few of my genres of music, but find that it performs poorly with Power and Progressive Metal. I'm looking for full-sized, circumaural headphones, preferably open ones that are fast so they don't get overwhelmed by faster, and busier...

I just bought a Audio-Technica A500 for 30  euro (about $35). It was a demo model for coolbleu.nl  I will use this with a Clip+ and Fiio e11. Is this a nice deal? First i was looking for a Sennheiser 201 am i better of now?    

Hello,   I am currently hunting for a set of full size cans that I will mainly use during my gaming sessions.   I don't need an inline mic because most of my gaming is solo. I wear glasses so I want something that is going to fit comfortably without pushing the top of my ear against my...

Hello, I'm interested in some headphones to use for late night movie watching and video game playing. These will NOT be for music listening. My budget is around $150. I'm not interested in "gaming" headphones for a couple of reasons...main one being that I have both an Xbox360 and a PS3. I...

Any good phone recommendations?   I don't splurge much on headphones. My budget is around $150 or so.   I've went through a few models and found these few to my likings. Using them for lossless rock/pop music. Any comments?   Sennheiser HD448/HD438 Shure SHR 440 Audio Techica...

So if you have ATH-A500's, or the A700, and I think the A900 has the same pleathered earpads.   Well over time this pleather starts to peel off.   So a while ago I just completely de-pleathered my a500 earpads. Put them in water and just rub and rub until it all comes off. It leaves you...
