Hi everyone,   I've been lurking here for a long time, learning a lot from the knowledgeable members here, as I got deeper and deeper into audiophilia. I never had anything to contribute, so I didn't register until now. I'd like to share with you a strange discovery that I made while...

All right, here's my conundrum:   My pair of ATH-M50's (white-box) have bitten the dust.  They were my (and everyone else in the world's) first set of "real headphones," and I loved them dearly.  However, there were some things about them that I felt didn't suit my needs, and in replacing...

xb1000 q40 beats by dre pro m50 pro700mk2 dt770 x10 HD650   How much "mW" voltage things can these take?ive heard that 1500mW is too much for the q40,any amps too powerful for any of these headphones?

My apologies if this is posted in the wrong area. All I wanted to ask of you all is that is there any type of adapter where I can have music controls while using the M50s or any handphone of that type. I've heard many glowing reviews about them but I just want to try them out myself to see what...

Alright,so about a week ago i made a thread where i was deciding which headphone i should buy(XB500/XB700 alternative)..I decided to go with the ath-m50s..when i first i got them , i really liked how the headphone sounded, but i was pretty dissapointed with the bass(and i was mainly lookin for a...

I'm looking to have my headphones recabled after the stock cable was ripped up a few days ago, I wanted to know what kinds of cable can be used for this. For example, I've looked around and found the Midnight, Q-Audio, and Hifiman Cables. Does anybody know any different types? Preferrably a...

Posting this more as a What than anything else, because there's no logical explanation.   > Enjoy some music on my laptop (EQ'd, through my AT M50s) > Enjoy some music on my Clip+ (no EQ, through the M50s) > Update firmware and RockBox on my Clip+ > Load some more music on > Listen...

I apologise in advance for this because I know these threads are just done to death but I asked my question in the headphone recommendations thread and nobody answered, so I figure just make a thread for better chance of it being seen.   Anyway! I've sort of been going crazy looking for a...

Hi, Head-Fi folks,   I'm in the market for a pair of closed-ear over-the-ear headphones, with an emphasis on good isolation, low leakage, and comfort, and I hope you can help me pick some. I've worn UE TripleFi 10s for many years and have always preferred them to all other headphones I've...

Hey guys, don't know if this is the right section of the forum to post this, but anyways.. Sooo, I'm new to all of this, I have never owned any good or "expensive" headphones, more than some cheaper in-ear from local stores. But since I don't know anything I have always thought they have had...

I know there are many threads out there, but I've tried asking on those threads and people just ignore my questions. Anyways I own Sennheiser HD 439's. the soundstage is great, good mids and highs, they are really light and super comfortable. But I'm looking for the two things they are lacking...

Sorry if this has been asked, but I am really confused and cannot come up with an answer on my own   I think of a musician creating a song I think they use voice, guitars, bass, drums, etc... I think these are all done at volumes to make the music well..., for lack o better english...

I've been searching this site for some time and one thing struck me: Headphone Hipsters.  I've read many great reviews of the Audio Technica ATH-M50 from CNET to Inner Fidelity to here.  There was even a forum for asking if the M50s were overrated and overwhelmingly people said they were not...

I have the beats solo, but I really don't like them and I am hoping to get another set of portable headphones for cheaper , I usually listen to house, classical and alternative rock and samba.What are somo good picks?

Hey, I've been recently looking at getting a new pair of IEM's since I broke my old klipsch S4's. I would love to find something with a similar sound to my ATH-M50's under Or around $150's if at all possible. The reasons I like the sound of the M50's is because I love bass but don't want it to...

So I am basically looking for cans that have good sound stage and are very well built. The last few sets I've tried had problems with noise from cheap plastic design/hinges and the cord making ticking noises when moved. At this point I am now willing to sacrifice sound quality and comfort for...

I've just recently started exploring better sounding equipment for listening to my music. My friend does a lot of his own music mixing and such and he had a pair of headphones(Don't remember what they were) and I absolutely fell in love with how much better full sized headphones sound. I've been...

You know you need a headphone for every activity.. lol Right now I have a pair of Sennheiser 497s, but they are open and your getting a lot of noise. The headphone also need to be rugged as they will be sweat on and beat up.. so more function but also trying to get some ok sound wouldn't be bad...

Hi all,   Ok, here is the challenge and the background to my problem.   I need a pair of over-ear headphones that can do 3x jobs well (listed in the order they'll be used for most)...   1. A private monitors for a Roland Drum Kit. (any good headphone with pace and drive should be ok...

I'm looking for a nice pair of headphones. To be more specific, on-ear or over-ear headphones. I listen to a lot of bass-heavy songs like rap, dubstep, techno, and on occasions I listen to some more instrumental music like Marvin Gaye, metal and rock. I want something that is bass-heavy when it...

Hey guys, I am a normally-headed human being, with slightly bigger ears than usual and glasses. I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD 25-1 ii, super-awesome but really uncomfortable. I travel very often for work and they are amazing in isolating aircraft sounds and noisy people, but sitting...

Inpired by the "Do Grados Look Ugly? Or Do They Look Cool?" thread:   Does the design of headphones influence your buying decisions?       I am affected by the design. If they look ugly to me I have a hard time liking them. I do appreciate the sound for itself, but most probably...

Hi, I've been wanting to purchase more headphones to add to my collection and rather than ask details about the sound, I thought that this method may get me responses faster and I can use it as reference for some future purchases. I own all the headphones in my sig, except Stax, but one...
