Hi. I'm a student at a High School that becomes very loud, especially when lunch comes around. I'm looking for a low budget headphone, one that I can find on Amazon or Newegg for under $100. The headphone needs to be able to adequately block out school chatter while not leaking too much music...

What is the one headphones you use most from your collection? What do you use it with and why you use it most?

So I've been lurking around on this forum on and off for a few years now enjoying reading about all the different kinds of headphones out there. I've just recently signed up so that I may post on here and become involved in this amazing community of headphone connoisseur's. Like many other...

Well, I did a little experiment last night.   First, I plugged my HD650 directly into my P1260 CD player and listened to a specific song or segment. After I had a good idea of what sound it presented, I then plugged the HD650 into my Little Dot MKIII and listened to the exact same song or...

Hi, I've been a member of Head-Fi for a while now. I own a SR-60, SR-80. But now, I'm looking to purchase another headphone ... I'm thinking of listening to pop music on my MP3 player (also my BlackBerry phone :P) ... occasionally I'd use it for watching movies at home, especially during night...

I want something with more bass. I have went to bestbuy and tried to Beats By Dre Pro (lol) I figured they would overwhelm me with bass but they did not at all, I want something that can provide more bass and better SQ then the SR80s and the Beats by dre.. Limit is $250   I listen to alot of...

Hello there,   First of all, I'm new in this forum, so don't bother my beginner-knowledge.   Okay, here's the deal. As you might be aware of, the christmasgifts will soon appear under the christmastrees, and I've decided to write santa for a sweet pair of cans. What I'm looking for is...

I'm looking for a pair of full sized headphones for around $100. I guess you could describe my sound preference as exciting, with detailed highs and good sounding vocals. I also like a good bit of impact, not necessarily bass volume- too much rumbling bass will make me sick- but I like to be...

lets say below 400$ and below 300$   Is there a comparison thread like in the IEMs forum (with price/value/SQ etc.. preferably in a table)

I am looking for recommendations for a desktop amp and headphone setup for mainly listening to electronica (drum & bass, trance/techno, some ambient and some electro-pop).   The source will either be a PC/Mac output or an iPod.   I currently have: - Etymotic ER4P - Sennheiser HD25-1...

Hi all   I am looking to upgrade my current grado SR80 headphones but am lost in a world of choice, I have a fiio e7 and mainly use my headphones for iPod listening but like the idea of future proofing as best I can, I've had my SR80 for about 10 years, I do some occasional hifi listening...

This is my current system: Grado SR-80 Panasonic SL-SW505 (using line-out) 4.5 Airhead. I want a new pair of higher end phones. I listen mostly to movie sound tracks like Gladiator. My current setup sounds good. Should I get Sennheiser HD600 for 300 dollars at HeadRoom, or...

I am going to get some open headphones at around christmas time for a bunch of reasons.   1. I want to try some open headphones. 2. I want open headphones so my mom knows when I am listening to my music and dosen't yell at me. 3. Will be used at home with a fiio e7 and later will use it...

I am wondering if you guys know of any old school cans under 100$. I'm looking for some old school stuff for my father and wouldn't mind trying them myself  He is a fan of reel to reel tape players and loves ACDC. Any suggestions ?

I have two pairs of Sennheiser HD414's: a pair from 1974, and the reissue from later. For me, they are the ultimate in comfort: very little tension in the headband, and flat breathing earpads with no circumaural anything. I used to wear them for 6-8 hours at a stretch in college while doing...

I was thinking about having a batch of custom cups machined and anodized for my Grados.  Would anyone be interested in that kind of thing?  I'm guessing final price would end up at around 100 per pair, but there are too many variables early in planning to say for sure.   The cups are...

Hi all, I hope you can help, I have some really old, (but I still like the way they sound) wait for it, Dynatron SP5's and I'm wondering if there is a more robust but still comfortable replacement "Earpads" the originals were a green foam but the pads for Grado SR60's are a near perfect fit with...

I'm looking for suggestions for a replacement for my aging SR80s. I use them primarily with my mp3 player (a cowon d2 at the moment, the third mp3 player in my SR80's lifetime). I've been very happy with how the SR80s sound, but I've had to do a lot of patchwork repairs through the years, and...

I always used basic 15$ BestBuy headphones. I'm looking for a new pair ~100$.   Good sounding with Guitar (Classic rock to Metal) Sounds good with Acoustic Music, Rock, Metal.   Guitar -> PreAmp -> Mixer -> HeadPhones PC -> Mixer -> HeadPhones.   I hate muddy sound* But I do like...

I'm just wondering what do you guys think about taking iGrado drivers and placing them inside Bose Triport enclosure ? Triport is so comfortable but sounds like crap, while iGrado sound great and look and feel like crap. I know Bose is closed headphone and Grado is open but what would happen if...

The general consensus has been that the MS1i is not all that different, sonically, to the MS1. I wonder if the same is true of the SR80i and the SR80. Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the two or know of such a comparison?   Also, does anyone else prefer the look of the smaller...

It's amazing how much of a difference the full suite of mods brought to these cans.  I found that the easiest mods made the most difference, which surprised me quite a bit.  I did all of the mods to one side, leaving the other stock for comparison purposes through the journey.  Here's what I...

Hello Everyone!   After seeing the site multiple times I decided to finally become part of the Head-fi family. MY question today is more of asking for some recommendations. I'm looking for a full size pair of headphones for my desk while I'm sitting in my dorm room. I would say that I listen...

Hello everyone,   I've read this forum for a while and see here a lot of knowledgeable people willing to help so I'd like to ask you for advice.   I'd like to spend about $250 (maybe a little more if that would make a noticeable difference) but don't know if I should buy just headphones...
