Hey,   My current headphones for the past 4 years have been the Bose On Ear 1 headphones (Dad is a Bose fan, gave them to me for a present) and they are decent. Bass is good, sound stage is narrow and mids don't do guitar justice. But these headphones tend to do well in dubstep and much more...

I already have vmoda m100 for electronic and rap music. I also have some ath m50s coming in soon. However, I need some good cans for post hardcore and other rock music. I'm willing to pay up to 200$. I've had the Sr 225 and Sr 80s recommended for these genres but am ñeleaning towards the sr80s...

Hello I have somewhere around 200$ to spend on very good headphones. I am a basshead, so bass is really important for me. But I also listen to almost all types of music-Rap, Hip Hop,quiet songs,electronic,Pop, dubstep,Rock and etc... I need them to be portable for listening to music at...

Hi folks! I've finally decided to invest in a decent ish pair of headphones. I'm certainly no audiophile and sound clarity isn't something I'm very well versed in. I'm generally just used to toying around with large PA systems and revelling at the bass. As a result the only headphones of note...

Hello Head-Fi!   I'm kind of new to this kind of thing so first off I'll tell how I got here: A year ago I heard about the Beats hype and I was sold. I was used to budget headphones and earbuds in the 20 euros price range and was convinced that Beats by Dr Dre was the best option out...

I currently have some ATH-m50s. I got them for $110.00   I can get http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Mode-M40-Headphones-Copper/dp/B005N8A4Z0   for $140.00.     I love the sound of the Ath-m50s, and i like the sound signature, even though the mids could be a bit better.   Should...

Hi, I'm new to headphones and I was looking for a pair that would be good to use with mostly my Macbook Pro and my Samsung Galaxy S3. I've heard a lot of good things about the Sony MDR-7506 and the Audio Technica M50s. I just wondering if any of you guys recommended other options.   I listen...

Let's see who has the oldest working pair! I was thinking about the first headphone that led me into this hobby and was wondering if I still owned that pair of m50s; would they still be working.

As the topic title indicates. I do not have an amp + DAC at the moment either and I would also like to be able to drive these with a smartphone.    I mostly listen to Hands-up or Trance music   Example tracks:   Hands-up: Face 2 Face (Special D Remix)-Future Trance United/ Every...

I definitely do not consider myself an audiophile yet, but I am starting to develop my ear for it. I am on a serious search for some new cans. I've owned the Audio Technica M50s which I loved, but the wiring frayed in the input jack. So I am planning on getting those completely re-cabled because...

Didn't see a forum for new people, but feel free to move if I wasn't looking hard enough! Long flight coming up soon so I've been lurking. The Beats Wireless I inherited are terrible and currently residing on eBay. Thankfully they're popular, because it looks like I'm pulling a profit on the...

Hello, I'm looking for a pair of headphones to use at work. At home I'm using a pair of Sennheiser HD595's that I'm a pretty big fan of. That being said, I'm looking for something that sounds a bit different this time around, and since these will be a secondary pair for me, I'd also like...

can you guys just give me a list og good headphones for noobs under 200$. im looking for some more bass in my headphones and i mainly listen to rap, pop, and rock music want closed back too

Hiya!   So I'm a music student at Berklee and I'm going to be dual majoring in EPD and Film Scoring.   I'm going to be needing a pair of good headphones to be lasting me for the next few years!!   I've been looking around at some headphones, from the ATH-M50S, to others such as the...

Hi all,    So Ive decided to buy my first pair of respectable headphones, with a budget of 100- 200£ I've been looking at the Senns 558 and 598 which i really liked although I realized i will be using the them in the office and library etc. so I'm trying to settle for some closed headphones...

Hi,   I just created a profile on this site so that i could find some help in picking out headphones. I listen to hard rock and metal. I like Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, FFDP etc. I also like to listen to classic rock like Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin. I originally blindly bought Beats...

Hey guys, I will have around £150 to spend after my IE80's sell, I can expand the budget a bit more if necessary.   I am looking for a pair of headphones suitable for gaming on PC and Xbox 360, the mic is not an issue as I will wear the standard mic around my neck and program the audio to...

I'm saving up now for my Audio Technica M50's. I would use them for mainly slight travel and home use. I have seen a post about burning the M50's in with white/grey/green/black noises ect. Where can I play those noises while I'm at school? I would use the M50's on my phone without an amp. My...

I have a audio technica ath m50s. I went traveling for about a week and when i got back and took them out they had a very strong chemical scent on them. I don't want to try cleaning it off myself as I might damage them. Any advice? Thanks

I'm looking for a suggestion on a new pair of closed back headphones. Let me desribe the situation. I had ATH-M50s. The left speaker stopped working on me and I'm trying to decide what to do about it. When using full-size head-phones, I listen mostly to electronic music (dance, progressive...

So basically I want to know the best headphone I can buy without an amp, it has to be better than the m50s and cheaper then 250 dollars, thanks guys

I want a different pair other than the M50s to watch movies at work. I'll be using either the Fiio E10 or E17. 

I was comparing some high-end full sized headphones on the frequency response chart and couldn't help but notice a trend where theres a major dip around the 12khz region. I'm not all that clued up on high end audio. But is there a scientific explaination for this?

has anyone used or heard of Unique Squared Home Page before? im trying to buy a pair of headphones off of their ebay store. but im not sure if they're legit.

Ok can you guys give me pointers as to what I should learn about headphones and get educated about sound? I'm pretty ignorant and have to use google to make my decisions, I want to on my own. The only "good" headphones I own are m50s. Idk where to post this btw
