I'm hoping I can get a little guidance, as I'm in over my head, and out of my league. Firstly, let me say that I am by know means an audiophile, but I am looking to get started down the right path. I'm looking for a decent set of over the ear headphones, and I'm open to any brand. I have a price...

Ok,I know this subject has been talked about AD Nauseum.  I just bought a pair of AKG 271's. I have put about 35 hrs on them. The sound has tighten up a tad but nothing spectacular. The biggest point of contention is the highs are incredibly harsh and make my ears hurt. That and the overall lack...

I currently own an M50 and love it - I even prefer it over my TF10 and its currently my favorite headphone. So, I've been wanting to pick up a Beyerdynamic T50P for portable use - would the sound signature/quality satisfy me, coming from the M50?   Also, I should add that money is not an...

Hey all, As the title says, I'm looking for something comparable to my AKG 240 studio headphones, but more portable.   That doesn't mean I'm necessarily tied to the AKG 240 sound.  I've owned them for about 3 or 4 years now, and enjoy them very much,  but I don't have much to compare them...

Hey again Head-Fiers,   I am looking for a portable on-ear or over-ear headphone that will be perfect for being on a train, being in a coffee shop, etc.  Basically light commuting.  So here are the factors that matter to me: portability, actually not complete isolation (I need to hear what's...

I know that there are plenty of threads about the HD25 but not many about the T50p. I mostly listen to Alternative type of music. I like acoustic and jazz as well. I'm not into metal or classical music. I would rate the genres this way:   1. Alternative - John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Coldplay...

I work in a recording studio and we use loudspeakers exclusively to master music. I want a popular reference headphone to listen to my masters for observation purposes. I don't think it's really a good idea to exclusively mix on headphones; so these headphones are to compliment the speakers and...

I love my Portapros, but am wondering if there is another portable headphone that outdoes them in the sound quality department, but maintains the comfort, small size and portability. My price range is flexible.

Hey guys I'm looking for my next set of cans and I'm having trouble making a choice between these set of cans as my next set of closed reference cans. I listen to alot of what's on my profile and wide variety of other genres and really enjoy a mid-centric experience that is good on the bass and...

Have a pair of DT990 120ohms i'm looking to upgrade from. Bought a pair of MS-Pro's and wasn't a fan at all, i like my bass and it was really lacking on the pros. I'm looking at either a pair of Denon D5000's or Audeze LCD2's am i looking in the right path? I will be running them from my...

My heart and wallet are drawn to the T50p to replace my ATH-ES55, in the UK they are £40 to £50 cheaper than the hard to get DT1350,   yet I have come across quite a lot of negativity about the T50p can someone sum up why they are so unpopular here?   thanks

I know grado and sennheiser are good. these would be exclusively used at a desk with my laptop and a Fiio E10 so they can need amping, in fact I'd prefer it (might as well use it if have it right? hahaha). Anyway any models you guys recommend with your experiences or general pros and cons would...

Have aiaiais but it has veiled highs and is to bass heavy. Any suggestions?

This is the second time that the pads to my Fostex T50RP have come loose. Any tips on how should I attach them. I was thinking of using araldite or some other permanent fix but it might destroy the plastic.   Any tips?   The earlier pads were attached with a double sided tape. What doesn't...

I'm looking for a neutral, comfortable, closed headphone to be used for music production and listening through a macbook pro and virus ti2 synthesizer. I really like the idea of the SRH 940, but I'm open to other options. Have any suggestions in the $200+ range?

I just received them after 2 days from amazon. They are still burning in but I have to say that they are really appealing to me for portable use. I listen to almost everything and although it's not designed for bass heavy musics, it still handle them well I really like it's sound signature, I...

Preface: So I had always used IEM's because of portability and that I always thought they sounded the best. Recently Ive been traveling more so I was looking into getting better fidelity while still retaining the portable aspect. I had bought the Shure SRH840's back in October on a great deal so...

Hello,   Just sharing my thoughts since I have started collecting headphones when I started visiting Head-fi.   The idea is to collect one headphone from each brand to show it to my future son/daughter that this were the headphones when I was your age.   I'll just start with budget...

I had to laugh…I looked up fetish in the dictionary and it’s defined as an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion. That probably more aptly describes my feelings toward my Grado’s; or just a headphone fetish in general. When I first stumbled across Head Fi though, I never imagined...

I've decided to do a shootout amoung a number of popular cans: Sennheiser HD25-1-ii Sennheiser HD25-13-ii (600 ohm version of the above) Beyerdynamic DT1350 Beyerdynamic T50p Pioneer HDJ-2000 Pioneer HDJ-2000mod...

Lets start a thread. What do you guys want to get for christmas? Ill start off a pair of either-Grado SR60i or Grado SR80i, and ide like to get the Koss Portapros. They look nice and are cheap enough to try out ;)
