I am going to Peru in a few weeks and am going to be doing a LOT of plane and bus traveling and am looking for the best noise isolating IEM's out there for under $100-$150. Have heard good things about Shure SE215 and Creative Aurvana In-Ear 3's. Thinksound ms01's are on my list as well as...

Hi, I'm a relative newbie with a pair of D2000s that I like.  I have the non-HD version of the X-Fi Titanium that I bought a while back to use with my AD-700s for gaming (for the virtual surround), but I'm looking to get something more suited for music.   However, since I'm fairly new to...

I like my audiobooks and i'm looking for a pair of headphones that are high on the comfort list so I can just drift off to sleep with them on.   Sound quality doesn't have to be outstanding, just clear enough for speech and some light background music.   What would peoples...

I just finished performing the Lawton acoustic chamber dampening modifications on my TH600 and it's the best 50 dollars I ever spent. Like lots of guys, I upgraded from D2000 headphones to TH600 because of the D2000 missing midrange. However, the TH600s seemed to replace the authoritative...

I need budget priced headphones so i came down to these two.

Hello everyone, I am new here, as I am new in America. I read several articles for Beginners on this website. Then I realized how professional they are. Days ago, I purchased a beats wireless on ebay. As you all know, ebay is not a good place to buy an authentic headphone. But I tried once...

Hi, I'm buying new headphones but I'm stuck on which ones to get. I listen to Drum and Bass, Dubstep and Hip-Hop, so I'd like some with some good bass. My budget is £100 ($150) and I live in the UK. Also I'll be using them with my PC and Google Nexus 7 if you need to know. Could you guys...

So I'm looking to move into the big boys league.   Closed headphones with great oomph and soundstage to them.   Current collection: Sennheiser HD598 Audio Technica ATH-AD700 Audio Technica M50s LE   Previously Owned: Denon AH-D2000 Sennheiser HD555 Audio Technica M50s...

Hi everyone! looking to replace a pair of Sennheiser HD558. Those are ok but a litte too dark sounding for me. Plus I want a close-back head phone this time, and a replaceable cord. Primarily I'd listen to these at home, through a TEAC UD-H01 dac, Onkyo TX-8050, and Onkyo C-7030. I'd mostly be...

Hey Im looking for a pair of headphones to listen to my r&b music.  I previously had the beats by dre pro and they sounded very good to me, but seeing as everybody talks so bad about them I looking to try another pair.  I want some headphones that have great bass and great sound.  They also...

I want to recable my D2K because my stock cable is damaged. I have narrowed down my choices for the service to BTG-audio and Zynsonix. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with one or both of these guys, and could give me some input or testimonials. Thanks! 

Hey all!   Still pretty new here... I have a question regarding an issue that I'm surprised no one has discussed (or at least that my 'advanced search' skills were unable to find).   The issue I'm talking about is the perceived curve vs the actual curve of headphones in comparison to...

Hi guys   I've been looking for a new set of circumaural HP's since my Denon AHD2K's failed on me last week (the left cup stopped working, i replaced the headphone jack which has fixed the problem, but if the cord moves around a lot the music skips).   I keep coming across the Audeze LCD-2's...

Gonna try to turn this topic into a glossary of EQ settings. Please post in this format:   Brand Model EQ Program Audio Technica ATH-CKS77 Balanced Realtek Onboard Denon AH-D2000 Balanced Electri-Q Denon DN-HP700 Balanced Realtek Onboard M-Audio Q40 Balanced...

Hey guys/girls, I thought I would never ask such a subjective question, but here goes... I am new to the hobby and have not heard many headphones. I currently own and love the Denon ah-d7100's. I also have a pair of porta pros, koss kde 250's, and ah-d2000's. I used to own pairs of senn 558 and...

Hey guys, my headphones (hfi 580's) have alot of punchy bass to them and i prob wont upgrade soon but i was just wondering, are there any headphones out there that sound like that?   I keep getting jealous when i get into a car with a decent sound system :/

TL;DR version: big bass, wide soundstage, glassy highs, overall detail/clarity, for heavy metal and gaming. Hey I plan on buying one of these headphones, but I need some good comparisons first (keeping in mind my usage and sound preference). I will be using these headphones for music...

Still tweaking settings with my new Denon D2000s and looking for hard-hitting, relatively well-recorded bass-centered audio clips. There were a couple of links in one of the D2000s threads but I'm hoping more people have links they want to share.   To get things started, I stumbled across...

Hi,   I have a pair of modified Denon AHD 2000s seen here http://www.lawtonaudio.com/page66.html   I recently tried to connect my headphone to an amp and noticed that no sound was coming through. I then tried to connect it to different sources and I can't seem to get it to work with...

Currently all my headphones are Grados (80i, 225i, 325i). Plus i have some PS500s and semi-vintage RS1s on the way. I doubt i will keep all 5 and assuming i get rid of all the SR series i would be interested in getting a nice set of closed headphones. Looking to spend $300-$400 (used). I would...

Hey guys,   My Denon D2000 stopped working and since that model does't seem to get produced anymore I'm looking for a different headphone.   I want something with a similar sound; deep (but not overpowering) bass, pleasant highs and a warm sound in general. It will be used at home on...

I don't recall having a single audiophile friend, family, or acquintence. Never really listened to expensive headphones before either but one day just for the heck of it decided to buy a pair of grado 225i. A lot of my friends and my bro thought i was crazy since it was $200 and frankly i...

Music from iTunes is 128 right? Is it worth getting a pair of amazing headphones and an amp to listen to this type of music? I'm not going for the FLAC files and 320 kbps songs but I want a great pair of headphones and an amp. Is it worth an upgrade from lets say a sr60 to d2000 even...

I've been wondering if closed headphones have a tendency to warm up your ears much quicker than open headphones. It would make sense. Closed headphones block outside sound, and therefore block air from getting in as well. I'm sure the material of the pads plays a part as well.   What has been...

I'm looking for a good v-shaped headphone that is NOT an IEM that has a good v-shaped sound signature with bass that is great for dance music (80's new wave, dance pop, 80's house/techno) that is between $100 and $250. I prefer the bass to NOT be smooth. What are some suggestions you guys have...
