Hello, I'm thinking of getting my dad new headphones, since his Beats Pro got stolen (he didn't know better, but he does like good sound). He is a bit older (40~) so he somewhat likes U-shaped signatures. He listens to nearly any music style, with a slight emphasis on rock and strayment from...

I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD25's and use them for both portable listening and home listening.  I'm planning on getting a pair of dedicated home headphones and was looking at the Hifiman HE-300's.  What are the audible differences between the two?  The HE-300 are going to be used for...

I see these are only $240 on amazon and the few reviews I've seen say there a good general propose headphone. I mostly listen electronica like DnB, downtempo/trip hop and general EDM but I sometimes listen to alternative rock and metal. Will I be fine with these or will I be better served by...

For you, which are the best for home listening to a wide range of music genre with a fiio e10 dac amp?

Hey headfi,  Is there a big difference in performance between the HE-300 and the HE-400?  Thanks 

jHi headfi I'm thinking to buy.hifimanHE300.any impression on this. Headphone?

What amp will make these cans shine? I dont know much about the amp-side of headphones and I kind of want to get into full sized ones to improve the overall listening experience. 

Hey everyone. First time posting here.    I'm looking to buy a new set. My first REAL audiophile setup. Right now I own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M40fs and a pair of Grado SR60's. I love both of them, although obviously the Grado's more, but the more I listen to them the more I dislike...

I am looking to buy a pair of HifiMan Headphones and not sure whether to go for the HE-300 or the HE400?   Does anybody have experience of these and can anybody provide any information with regards to sound signatures or advice on which they would recommend?   My musical tastes are...

I find myself interested in these headphones.  Yet i wonder how bad is the external sound leakage?  Would a co-worker in a relatively quiet office (not like a library) easily be disturbed by me listening at a moderate volume, say like half or 60% voulme, with my ipod amped by a FiiO E7?

What are the best full sized headphones for under $250? My listening habits are about 30% hip hop (primarily Dr Dre, Kid Cudi, and Kendrick Lamar), 20% spoken-word leaning rap (primarily Atmosphere), 20% ska (Sublime), and about 30% Alternative, Reggae, and occasionally other genres (Bob Marley...

I currently have the Ultrasound Hfi-580, but would like to upgrade to a phone with less harsh treble and more natural sounding mids. Which sound the best overall? Which of these headphones would be the best when considering price? Are the V Moda worth the $150 premium over the MTPG or $50 over...

In your opinion, what are the closed versions of the HE-400s or even the 300s   Keep in mind the price range. 

Hi.   I have the opportunity to get these headphones used for the retail price ($250). It may sound a bad deal, however i live in Brazil and they don't sell them here. Also, the costs of importing it would be way higher than $250.   That said, do you think it's worth? I read a lot of...

I am currently using 8 a Heir Audio custom IEMs.   I am planning to get HD800 and D7000 or D5000     But I am also considering to get one more sub-headphone.   I prefer big sound-stage, strong bass, light weight.   He-300 is 270g and ma900 195g. Doesn't that matter with weight...

I've been researching headphones for the past hour or two, trying to find which I'd like to get. I currently have the Studio Beats, and have always been pretty unimpressed. They have quite a bit of bass, which used to satisfy me, but whenever I turn on The Smiths or classical music I feel...

Hey guys! This is my first post. I am 20, male, in college, and have never owned a nice pair of over ear headphones so I assume I'm in for quite a treat.   Stats: I listen to math rock, country, electronic dance music, classic rock, basically everything but rap. I don't like roaring bass...

Hi all, I am thinking about getting a 200 dollars headphone. I did some researches in the forum. Seems like hd600/650, dt880/990 and k701/702 are popular options. Personally I like the look of dt880 pro a lot.  I will use it for pop/rock musics and movies. Had a sr80 before. Like the sound...

I've had my sr325is for a few months now (my first real pair of headphones) and I was very impressed from the moment I put them on, and even now while I'm typing. The quality and clarity is a large step-up from all of the other $30 in-ears and a pair or sr60i's I'd had previously, but the...

I currently have Sennheiser HD 555's (foam modded, they are pretty much out of order) driven by PC => optical => Creative X-Fi HD => RCA => Pioneer A-447. I honestly have no idea how capable the amp is to drive higher ohm headphones. I'm looking for a wide, separating and detailed sound and also...

I'm looking for excellent "audiophile" grade headphones for under $200 (USD). These headphones need to be able to play a variety of music and have that all around effect. I really like to "feel" the music if you know what i mean. (Especially when it comes to some bass)   Music i listen to...

Do such headphones exist? I'm a pc gamer but also listen to techno, jazz, classical. Looking for something that has the nice soundstage for games but also has great bass. I just picked up the superlux 668b and so far really liking them. Haven't tested in gaming yet but music is a big step up...
