Ok, so I don't have access to listening to headphones other than what you would find at Best Buy. So I can tell you what I have and what I listen to and hopefully you can help me decide, or throw in a sugesstion. I own the Thinksound on1 and to honest, I am quite pleased with them, I am just...

i know nothing of heaphones and have very little to work with (an ipod touch and mp3 music files). I am interested in buying high quality headphones, solely for the purpose of listening to music. I listen to everything and need headphones that will be capable of playing everything with crystal...

Hi! I am looking for a new par of headphones to buy this December. I currently have the Sennheiser HD 558 and until now I am very happy with the sound when pair with the Ipod Classic without amplification.   The ideal headphone to me should be relatively easy to drive, circumaural open...

At first I wanted these 2 options beyerdynamic DT 990 and  Headphone HE-400 but some people say they are open and people will hear all of my music. I want great sounding headphones but at least a little isolation. Now I am thinking of the Denon AH-D400 which people say have a bit more of...

Hi guys,   I've been looking at Heir Audio's new 4.Ai IEMs as a better compromise between my ER4Ps and UM3Xs, but realistically, I'm looking for the best sound for my money and portability/isolation isn't an issue.  Help me out?  I know my way aroudn IEMs but full-size 'phones are completely...

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum however I am not totally new to decent headphones. I have owned, Shure, Bose, Beats, and then cheap stuff. I am ready to make a bigger jump to some headphones that are a bit more of the "real deal". I Would like like to keep it under 500, and I am curious...

Sup guys! I finally decided to join head-fi after a year of lurking. Anyways, I need some nice mid range $350 headphones with use with my amp. I have been looking at the AKG K 702's. What are my options. Closed would be nice but not needed. Thanks guys.   I will be mostly using these at...

I recently woke up one day and I could swear I noticed distortion that was not previously there on some of my tracks, everything is lossless but I know that does not absolve the recording or the track of guilt when it comes to distortion, its just it seems that there is more on songs I did not...

Hi everyone,   I have been a member for a long time, but never posted before (the community is so helpful that I always found everything without having to ask questions). I chose my first decent pair of headphones after spending months researching here. I ended up getting the Audio-Technica...

If you need some clarification on full sized headphones check the below link out. I think it's an awesome way to narrow your decision. While it may not recommend the best phones, like the he400(this site is slightly outdated is why) it does a nice job of defining them. It's sorted by price, it...

So im going to be purchasing a new setup. Ive always been an in ear monitor guy but could never find one that i "Loved" ive read alot of reviews between each of these headphones and it seem everyone loves all three. Im of bit of a bass head but i also enjoy clarity and detail, but what i hate is...

Hello Head-Fi community. I am planning upgrade my current headphones (Sennheiser HD595/no amp), and I am looking to spend no more than $700 (headphones alone). I really enjoy the signature sound of my 595, and I would like to buy something that sounds similar but better of course. I like the...

Hey everyone. Now, before everyone jumps on me with the"Go to IEM comparison" I have already done so and didn't came up with nothing yet. I would like a pair of IEM with decent isolation, nice durability(will be used outside of the house as well as in the house) I listen to a bunch of...

Greetings, although this is my first post, this forum has already made significant dents in my wallet.  I would love some advise on purchasing a new set on phones.  I currently own the Miles Davis Tributes, Monster Coppers, UE Triple fi 10's and Velodyne Vpluses. I listen to FLAC and Apple...

Beyerdynamic DT990 (Premium and Pro)   HiFiMAN HE-400 Planar Driver High Efficiency Headphones   Ultrasone Pro 900   Ultrasone Pro 2900       I have extremely little knowledge in terms of the terminology you guys throw out there so helping me decided on these or something else...

Hi,   I'm interested in headphones (around-the-ear) for $400-600 and I was thinking about the HE-400.   I mainly listen to Rock, Country & R&B and will be sourcing from my Macbook Pro. Let me know if I should choose another headphone!   In addition, I'm a bit confused about amps?  ...

Hi All,   First Post. I am a long time audio nut.  I have had the likes of Levinson, Classe, JM Lab and etc... for my 2 channel needs.  A few years ago, I settled in on my Revel Salon, Jeff Rowland, Transparent set-up and love it.  In that time, I found that having a wide/deep/accurate sound...

I've seen contradictory advice on this subject all over the place, so I'm starting a poll. If your budget was say $400, would you rather have one headphone or two?   I care more about whether a couple "cheaper" headphones is better than one "good" one, regardless of budget. Any opinions...

Looking for a pair of full-size cans for home listening, will be driven off of a TEAC A-H01.   Budget is around £300, and I'm ideally looking for something sounding similar to ESW10. ESW10 is great for portable listening, but gets uncomfortable quickly while sitting at the computer working &...

I bought my twelve year old daughter a pair of vmoda lp's for Christmas.  She wanted the beats, but I refuse to spend two hundred on a pair that not only sounds awful,but cost double what I paid for these. Plus the sturdy factor of these really caught my attention. Anyhow, she is fairly happy...

I have been looking for a new set of headphones for a while, and have received a lot of suggestions. I have already excluded some, but there is still a good bunch to choose from. I will use my headphones mainly for music, but they will also be used for movies. I prefer detailed, clear and...

I'm trying to learn to read into headphone graphs as I'm in the market for a new headphone (portable or full size) and I don't have a means of listening to a possible candidate nearby.   I just made a comparison between the 3 headphones I own (D1001, D5000, HD25-1 II) with the song from The...

Hi   Recently bought Hifiman HE-400 headphones and they are a joy to listen to. I play all my music from the laptop drive connected to a decent dac  via async usb [v-dac+ v-psu]  which is fed to Cambridge Audio 650A Amp   I have noticed that the fullness and quality I get from my...

Just received my new Beyer's this morning from Amazon. T90 version.. Great price too. In any case they almost look like they were demo's or maybe a returned item. Is there any concern here if they were returned from someone. I always worry about electronics. How they were treated.... Burn...
