I'm looking for some advice on a pair of headphones around 300$ or less.  I will primarily use them at my desk at work (software dev). The people in the adjacent cubes aren't cool with playing music over the jambox or laptop speakers so I'm not entirely sure a pair of open/semi open would fit...

Hi. My ATH-M50s are in the mail and I was wondering how I should burn them in. White noise? Pink noise? And also, how loud should it be? Thanks P.S. if I burn them in too long will it have negative effects?

Hey guys, this year, i went all in and bought the Audio Technica PRO700mk2 Anniversary editions with a zo 2 and a fiio l2. I am playing out of a samsung galaxy s3 and am wearing m50 pads. I was wondering if there is any quick fix to drastically improve soundstage? I listened to a friends m50's...

I bought them at marshalls on sale for $ 5.99. It caught my attention because they have a big port on the back, I wanted to see how open back earbuds sound so i bought them.   Wow!! when i listened to them the bass extends very deep like 15hz - 20hz deep, i actually prefer the bass of these...

As much as the look of the phones on my dome should take a back seat to the sound quality, not having luscious locks of hair to fill the space between the cups/headband and my head makes me look like an alien when I leave my house.    Any suggestions for a set of midrange on- or over-ears...

Hi guys, so i've been a member of this forum for a long time but i haven't had a headphone purchase in a while.... in the past i've had the m50 and a few sennheisers which all came from recommendations from this forum so i'm back to get some more advice.  I noticed that I go on trips 4-5 times a...

Hey everyone :D   I'm looking for an over the ear headphone, mainly for music, and will be used on buses a lot. I have been thinking of maybe getting the Fischer Audio FA-003, or the ATH M50. Are they good choices?  If so, which is better? ​ Thanks!

I'll be using this headphone for my study, blocking out household noises and aid my concentration.   my requirements are 1. comfort (hav to wear them for hours) 2. noise isolating or cancelling   indeed sound quality is of less importance to me    i've been looking into the...

Hey guys,   Newbie here. I’ve been checking out the forum for a few days and glad I found it. You guys offer a world of information when it comes to headphones. I’m still undecided after reading multiple threads though.   I listen to a mix of music, POP, R&B, Jazz and some Hip Hop via my...

So I've been searching for a  pair of cans for in-home use and I came across the SRH440 and it seems pretty good there's just a couple of things that I read online that botherd me. 1. People saying there could be some times a lack of bass, and the thing is, that I listen to alot of different...

This should be called "Newbie's first impressions" but I need help more than need someone to read my impressions.   After so much research, I finally found at least two places to freely listen to display headphones (I'm in South Korea).  I didn't have my notes with me but I knew the models...

Since they've been discontinued, what's a fair price for the Denon AH-D2000 in the current market?  What are some reasonable price ranges for new and for used?   Going headphone hunting on Friday and there's a shop nearby that might have them new for $350 USD.  Thanks.  

I heard that you want to keep your dB for music below 85 because above that starts to damage your ears.  I'm going to be getting a pair of audio-technica ath-m50.  I'm use to my $10 ear buds and I want to make sure I know what a good volume level is with these and my ear buds for that matter.  I...

First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who puts more and more into this website because I learned a lot from here and still going on.. I am quite new in this real musician ear/headphone things so before buying I wanted to get yours opinion.   So here are the facts,   I will use it with...

Hello, I have only recently found out about Head-Fi and the wonderful world of audiophilia, and I was wondering if there's anything I can do to improve my listening experience without having to spend too much. I am currently using a pair of Roccat Kave 5.1 headphones that are probably mediocre...

I am looking to buy a very durable, comfortable and great sounding headphone. I don't mind wether it is over the ear or on the ear. I listen to 50% rock and 50% rap/ pop. I want something that will last a while, that I can listen for a while without pain and sound good. I have $150 to spend and...

Hi all!   After many years of cheap headphones, tinkering, minute upgrades, radio work and joining audiophile boards I have decided to start upgrading all of my meager system one by one on a budget. I wanted to start with headphones because that is probably the one area where I've never had...

I recently had a thread like this... but it crashed and died, so im trying to make a new one to actually get some opinions. I honestly listen to Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, Dub Step, and Rap.  I like a prominent base and an overall clear sound.   Now all i usually hear is that the ATH-M50 is the...

I currently own a pair of modded Grado SR80i's. I love the sound they produce, but I have a couple of problems with them. They leak a ton, and they're really uncomfortable. So I am looking for a pair of closed cans that will have a similar sound, but without the subdued bass of an unmodded...
