I apologize for posting this in two different forums, but I figured I may get additional expertise in the IEM forum on the IEm side of things here.    OK, so I think I want to give some full size or portable cans a try. But here's the thing. My main source will be an iPod Classic 7th gen. I...

Hello all, I am in search of a good substitute for my krk rp6 monitors for when I move on campus for college.

Hi guys,   It's not without disappointment that I'm writing this post.  I've given these HD598s a good few months now and I'm on the verge of selling them and wondering if anyone here has ideas about which alternative cans might be the next right choice for me.   I'd like to state that...

Going to New York City in August pretty soon and looking for a decent portable headphone in the price range of $100-$200. It can be IEM or OEM but preferably OEM since I think that will have better sound quality. I can't take my Denon D2000 on the trip because it is too fragile, so the headphone...

Hey All, new to the site and have a few questions to get the best possible sound out of my headphones. I am kind of a newbie when it comes to this. 1.) I currently listen to music/movies/games on my desktop PC using this setup: Soundcard- HT Omega Claro...

Hey guys i just joined head fi and was wondering what a suitable upgrade would be for my xb500's.   I love the bass in them but the treble is really lacking, and i was thinking the ultrasone hfi 580's would be a good enough upgrade as people say they have really 'full' bass and the treble...

Hi all, Can't seem to find what I'm looking for in previous threads so going to post here: I just got my hands on some FA-002W HE's and was wondering how they sound in comparison to the newer FA-003TiW's. I read that the FA-002W's were basically FA-003 with wooden cups and an audio...

Hi, I'm an absolute ignorant about headphones,but unfortunatly I have got ears and I get tired of my cheap earphones. My uses:     music: rock,punk,eletronic(house,trance and others that I can't define) classic ->70%     movies -> 10%     gaming -> 20% Also I would like to use them...

Pros: SQ, clarity, comfort, build, balance, accessories, isolation, value, carry case (new), pad options Cons: Clamp force, slightly lacking some bass relative to treble (easy EQ though), pads can get sweaty, not the best for spectacle wearers. For larger views of any of the photos (1200...

Hello! For those who just want a quick rundown, refer below. Otherwise, here's my situation: I'm definitely not an audiophile or anything, but I do enjoy my music. I am in need of an upgrade from my Sennheiser hd 201's, which are okay, but the cups are uncomfortable and the high's(I think) are...

I have been searching for months, reading reviews, asking around, trying to get a solid can in my price range. Currently I'm looking at spending no more then 250$ For a amp and some cans. Right now I'm stuck with two, the akg k 240 mk II and some DT 770's. I have also been looking into a...

I ordered a pare of AKG K240 headphones to hold me over with some money I earned doing a day of landscaping. Otherwise my spending limit is under 300 - 400 which is all I have (400 only if it's absolutely necessary, then I'll save the money)   I'm looking for headphones that can be driven by...

I just got a good listen on these headphones at a friends and thought I'd share my quick thoughts just in case anyone is interested in a vintage pair of ortho headphones. I did this listening while going back and forth between the YH-1 and my HE-500s. I've heard of these going for $60, but I...

I find my AKG K240 headphones don't block out any outside noise, which becomes frustrating throughout the day, because there's people working on the house next door, there's trains coming by, there's people mowing their lawns etc. I feel like I can hear every detail of sound BESIDES MY MUSIC...

Okay so I'll just get straight into it. First of all, I am not an audiophile and I can't consider myself as one,but I'm not a newbie. I have a Sennheiser HD-598's and I love them. I've done 50+ hours burn in and they're amazing. I used to listen to music from my macbook and then shifted the...

I am a basshead, and i currently own the hfi 580's. What i want to know is basically, what are the main upgrades on the pro 900, and is it worth 300$? Thanks guys.

I noticed that most people with nice headphones have some sort of digital to audio converter and amplifier and claim to use FLAC files. Personally, I just listen to MP3 and use a portable amp for my AKG K240, or just use my Sony V6 straight out of my iPod. Would it defeat the purpose of nice...
