I'm looking for a pair of headphones that can play my music well Genres: Asian pop, rock, Electronic  Willing to spend ~$200 on an amp/dac if neccessary. I've had no experience with headphones (only owned IEMS) so some help would be great. Thx in advance!

Most of my time I am rocking out to groups like Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, God is an Astronaut. On the flip side I listen to what some call Post modern type Ambient music for the likes of Lanterna... I have tried AKG Q701 and was almost perfect. What happened was the bass was not there and...

Howdy. Thinking of upgrading from my current ATH-AD700s. Using the headphone out from a decent integrated amp (Cambridge Azur) taking an analog in from an AudioGD DAC that's having bits streamed into it from my wireless network. If I have any dissatisfaction with the AD700s, it's that the...

I've had my sr325is for a few months now (my first real pair of headphones) and I was very impressed from the moment I put them on, and even now while I'm typing. The quality and clarity is a large step-up from all of the other $30 in-ears and a pair or sr60i's I'd had previously, but the...

So I suppose I've got a case of upgrade-itis. After starting out with a couple of pairs of low end Senns I moved up to a pair of ATH-M50's. Overall I was pretty pleased with them. I liked that they were closed back for traveling. Then I realized I didn't want to carry these things around so I...

Opinions?

Hello, I am new to head-fi and I currently own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-PRO5V and I would like to upgrade to something else. A common issue on this headphones was the actual build quality of the headphones. The cups are ripped and the headphones are uncomfortable. The sound quality is...

Hi I currently have DT770/600 which I love, they sound perfect for music in my ears. Had HD555 before these and I thought those were perfect headphones for watching movies/series, the soundstage was amazing. What headphones should I get for movie/series watching? I'm looking at AKG K-701...

Hi to everyone!   First of let me start by saying this is my second post, so i might need more information than i will initially ask for.   Right now i own: Cowon i9, Fiio E17 and Sennheiser HD 380 Pro.   I am interested in improving my Headset, yet i have a lot of unanswered...

Hey guys,   I've recently run into a dilemma of sorts. I'm currently a senior in college and I've finally built up a full rig that I love (HD600, Schiit Asgard, Audioquest Dragonfly), but I barely use it. I'm eventually going to graduate school and work and can't see myself using this rig...

Now I am wondering whether they are fakes. It was a black friday sale. Does anyone know If there are fake AD900s out in the market?

Pretty straight forward, I have the AD700 now and use them at home on my PC for a combination of listening to music and watching movies/TV shows.  I like that they're open, comfortable and pretty good for a lot of the stuff I listen to with clean instrumentals and female vocals.  Eventually I...

Hello I currently have a JDS Labs C421 (OPPA227) and an ODAC. I think it's time for an upgrade from a portable amp to a more powerful desktop amp and perhaps a new DAC as well. I enjoy this setup, but can only imagine how much better my setup would sound with a powerful desktop amp. My current...

I was listening to karsh kales one step beyond earlier today on my AD900's and past a certain volume i could clearly hear distortion. Could this actually damage the drivers?

First of all, I'd like to say hello there! I'm new to this website. I don't know much about headsets or sound in general, so do noobify your replies. :) Second, I'm looking for a headset that's good, both for gaming and listening to music.  - I prefer closed-ear headsets, but it's not...

Hello i am looking for a nice pair of headphones and an amp for about under $175 I will use these headphones daily to listen to music(electronic, jazz, rock, but mostly electronic). I will also use these for gaming (at a competitive level) Any suggestions? Also i can move up to 200 at the MOST

Hello guys,   I've been doing researches about headphones the whole week! about 6 hours a week or more than that!! so im still not into the audophile world as my knowledge about headphone is still fairly low :P. so basically, I DO NOT WANT an amp with me while i use the headphones, as i find...

I'm curious about how my Etymotic adapter cable could be used with other headphones. I believe adding the adapter increases impedance by 75 ohms. My question is whether I could use this adapter on my recently acquired Audio Technica AD900's.   Why would I want to do this? Well I've been...

I'm sorry 'cause I made another thread earlier wondering about the AD700, but I've made a decision that I feel warrants a new thread of entirely different price range.  To summarize, I spend a lot of my time gaming, but I also really like music and listening to commentaries.  I'm using a Xonar...

I am looking for: best mids for under $300, Open, over-the-ear full size headphone - to use at basement home office. Looking for soundstage and separation.   I have not yet experienced bass detail, nor airiness - curious about these characteristics.   I thought I had wanted treble...

My current set up is laptop-E17-DT990 I'm not looking for an upgrade but a change of taste. Without additional DAC or amp, which of those phones I listed is the best choice I listen to vocal mostly and watch a lot of movies.

I have audio technica athm50s but I'm looking for something with a little more feel to it. Specifically, I want to hear every little detail in the music. I listen to almost every genre so something close to a flat eq would be preferred. Must fit around ears. $300 budget with a little flex. I was...

would the sennheiser 598s be a significant upgrade over the 840s i have the shure 840s now and an e10 amp. Would the 598s powered by the e10 be much of an improvement

I've been having my DT990 Premium (250ohms) for a while and loved it a lot. Now that I have a bit extra cash ($200-300), I'm about to invest in my next headphones. I'm not not looking for an upgrade but a pair of cans that complement my DT990 and brings some new listening experience. Here's a...
