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...

First thing first, I love the Grado sound a lot for the music I listen to mostly (rock, classic rock, indie rock, soft rock). I also love large soundstage (AD700, K7xx) as well. While I do like my AKG K7xx for their wide soundstage, I am finding them boring and not engaging. The soundstage, to...

Hi! This seems like a popular audio forum so decided to post here   I'm looking for replacement for my old fatal1ty gaming headset (yes, i had garbage headphones). My main concern is comfort. I sometimes game for even 8 hours, DayZ is addictive with friends :D   I also play FPS games...

Hi, I'm a relative newbie with a pair of D2000s that I like.  I have the non-HD version of the X-Fi Titanium that I bought a while back to use with my AD-700s for gaming (for the virtual surround), but I'm looking to get something more suited for music.   However, since I'm fairly new to...

What headphones have the most upper bass? That is where all the kick/punch of the bass.

I work in an office, but I want to listen to music, without disturbing people. I also need to be able to know when someone is knocking at the door. So far the only method I found is using cheap Sony MDR earbuds/earphones which came with my mp3 player (or was it cassette walkman). I tried my Sony...

I'm looking for new headphones that are have extended treble like the iems Re0 ? any suggestion? also good soundstage like AD700

I've been itching to upgrade to some nicer headphones lately, and after some research today, I decided it would be best to make an account on this site and ask for some advice. First off, some background info: In terms of headphones, I used whatever was the cheapest for years, until I decided...

Hello. I've been on this forum for awhile and have been through quite an amount of headphones considering my age aka the amount, or lack thereof, of money I have. I've found what I presume to be my perfect portable CIEM, the Westone ES3X (and the ES5 I presume due to it technically being an...

What would you guys say are THE headphones for competitive gaming at around that price range? 

I've been using an fairly decent headset with my laptop for gaming/movies/music which I've had for about 5 years now. I've realized how much I do actually use them and I figure it would be worth the money to pick up a nice pair of over the ear headphones (I can attach a mic to the headphone wire...

Hi. I own a AudioTechnica ATH AD700 and I'm not happy with the headset. I'm not an audiophile and I don't even listen to music that often. I only use them for gaming. Although I'm not musically gifted, I can tell how amazing the headsets sound. The thing I'm not happy with is how uncomfortable...

So I'm looking to move into the big boys league.   Closed headphones with great oomph and soundstage to them.   Current collection: Sennheiser HD598 Audio Technica ATH-AD700 Audio Technica M50s LE   Previously Owned: Denon AH-D2000 Sennheiser HD555 Audio Technica M50s...

Hey there guys! I'm havering a real issue here I've been trying to find so many reviews and such about good over/around ear headphones to buy I have the audio q40s as my bassy headphones now I need something very neutral with fantastic highs and mids with a present bass. My budget is $150 but I...

I want to like the Brainwavz HM5 cans that I just got, but they aren't that great.  I wanted to ditch my ad-700's because they lack bass volume, but the HM5's aren't much better.  In fact, the HM5's don't sound as good in most songs I've tested; (anything that doesn't emphasize drums ad-700 >...

Hi,   There is a lot of information on these forums and I am thankful for it. Having done my research I am a bit more confused on what I should buy and wanted advice from this community.   My usage would primarily be for PC gaming and movies with some light play on PS3 (I primarily play...

So I am finishing my AD 700 mod and I put in two of these 4-pole female connectors into the headphones.    http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-161-7900.htm     One is for the audio cord and the other is for the detachable boom mic. I have the audio soldered correctly as I tested...

Hey Head-fi! Longtime lurker here, and I've decided to post and ask for some help here, in my desire to look into a new set of headphones; here's the skinny.     I'm looking for some recommendation for a new set of over or on-ear headphones for music listening only. I mostly listen to...

About a year ago, I bought the Astro a40 2013 bundle to get the mixamp, and an "OK" headset to see me through until I got more into competitive fps. I'm ordering a pair of the ad700's due to the overwhelming acclaim of it's positional audio for the price. However, I still have this mixamp, and...

I own Audio-Technica AD700 and now, I'm having issues with the left sound working only when the cable is tilted a certain way (cat damaged cable). Also, sound leakage is a bit of a problem. Came across ATH-M50x + an audio recorder of ~$80 value for $144 after rebate, obviously a good deal. I...

Hey guys. I'm looking for cans that would be a bit more detailed than my AD700's. I'm also looking for slightly different properties in them: I want something that has prominent middles and a bass that's a bit punchier - to enjoy all sorts of metal with. I love my AD700's, but sometimes they're...

Hey guy I've been looking around at headphones and haven't found much of what I am looking for, head phones that deliver bass (I'm a BASS PHILE) and also good mids and highs, other then the Audio-Technica ATH-WS55BK Solid Bass. If there is a better fit for me, for under $100, I would love to...
