Hiya, new member here! Just curious on everyone's thoughts on this pair of cans before buying them, particularly on the reliability side of things. I've previously owned the Shure SRH940 and been burned on the reliability of the headband (broke after ~2-3 months of usage) and the AKG K845 BT...

Greetings, I made an account to find a budget friendly headphone for gaming and listening to music. I want to enjoy game's soundtracks and I mostly listen to hard rock/heavy metal musics mostly at home so i don't need portability and I'm ok with open/semi open options. I don't have any Amp/Dac...

so I'm looking for some new headphones for around the 150-175 price range and seeing how this is holy grail website for listening to good music, i thought id bring my questions here.    i listen to a good amount of bass-ey music so i want something that will be able to hang with the low...

The following table is based on measurements, not manufacturer specs.   Target SPL is 110 dB SPL. The source is assumed to output 2 V. The amp is assumed to be a voltage source (0 ohm output impedance). Voltage, current, power are RMS figures.   What do the columns mean? S@1V is the...

i dont mind buying used or refurb. Im looking for a headphone that will let me experience my music just about anywhere(school,the library etc.) around 100-120ish. Ive looked at the HFI-580(heard the highs are garbage, literally,hears guitar solos sound like people screaming into garbage...

This should be called "Newbie's first impressions" but I need help more than need someone to read my impressions.   After so much research, I finally found at least two places to freely listen to display headphones (I'm in South Korea).  I didn't have my notes with me but I knew the models...

Okay, so far I have come across the idea that I'm pretty much screwed since I do not live anywhere near an audio store (with the nearest Best Buy being 2.5 hours away), so I have to rely on reviews, forums, and suggestions to decide which headphone/set and sound card would be best for me. Let me...

Hi all, I'm looking into getting my first pair of decent over the ear headphones.  I currently use a pair of Klipsch Image S4s for listening on the go, which sound decent to me.  Since I'm a gamer, while at home I use a pair of Steelseries Siberia V2s, which while being extremely comfortable, I...

Hey all! I'm narrowing my choices for my next set of cans to replace the old garbage I'm using now, and I'd really like the input! The first contender is the ever-popular ATH M50. I know they're the go-to set for most people who are just getting into the game or looking for a nice pair they...

I am thinking of buying a pair of headphones and from what i have read i am between the sennheiser hd 600 and the Beyerdynamic dt880 (250 Ω). I currently have the fa dba 02 and i am really pleased with them, so i would like a similar sound. Is the sound of these headphones similar to the dba's...

I'm trying to find some new audiophile cans. I don't have a lot of requirements, but the ones I do have will be deal breakers. I'm looking for over-the ear, preferably closed back. Comfortable is helpful considering I'm always listening to music at class and at home. (Well and in the car but...

I'm a musician and so is my good friend.  I really want to get him some nice cans for his birthday that is coming up.  I've done TONS of research, but won't get chance to try out many of my options.   He likes all sorts of music and is a piano and trumpet player.  His music tastes are...

Hi, mi starting to produce electro house/dubstep, and I need a new pair of headphones. I can spend up to $150, and I need them to be neutral (flat). I'm going to use them on a studio, so I dont care if they leak sound or dont block outside noise. What headphones do you recommend me? I think they...

I've ultimately had no help from the recommendations thread, so, I'm turning to both Supremeus members and the general forums. Copy-paste of my post  I listen to a lot of EDM and other misc electronic genres, such as breakcore, speedcore, noise, and happy hardcore. Sometimes some rock...

I'm in an auditory perception lab at MIT, and we're looking for the most "objectively flat" headphones for doing experiments: that is, the headphones that by objective measurements have the flattest frequency response as measured at the eardrum. We also want to minimize any colorations like...

What would you say is the most comfortable, best sounding portable headphones for 150 dollars or less? 200? Would prefer over ear.  I have been looking at a lot of headphones around that price range but many do not get good reviews for comfort.    1. Ultrasone Hfi 580, 780 and pro 550  2...

I've been doing obsessive research on what headphones might be right for me, for I travel quite a bit. Both of these headphones fit most of my criteria so I was wondering what one you would suggest (feel free to suggest others too). I listen to pretty much everything that is between classical to...

I posted this in the reccomendations thread and doubt it is going to get any recognition. That subforum is too busy. I just wanted some opinions on my next portables;   I am in the market for some over-ear or on-ear headphones under 250 that meet these qualities (in order of importance)...

Please excuse my limited knowledge.  I may say some things wrong.   I'm most concerned with balance and good tone across the full spectrum.  If I want extra of anything I can use an EQ.     I mostly listen to indie rock (Ryan Adams, etc), classic folk rock(Neil Young, Mark Knopfler), and...

Hi head-fiers, I'm looking to buy an all-rounder headphone, please help me to find it! Budget: around $150 maybe higher a litte bit if it is worth Used to have: ATH-M50, KSC35 Device: laptop with onboard sound card (will upgrade DAC/amp soon), iphone 5 Music genres: Various Sound...

So I wanted to buy an ATH-M50, but it seems the prices here in the Netherlands for those headphones are a lot higher than in America. The price is about 180, for 10 euros more I could get the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro. And for 80-100 euros less, I can get the AGK K-240 MKII (so 80-100 euros...

i've just been reading a few old threads that seem to have gone dead a good while ago about how headphones can cause damage to hearing.   Excessive noise levels over a particular period of time may cause damage to hearing; According to UK legislation, an LAeq (dB) of 80 can be listened to...

I'm just curious to hear if any of you guys have bought a headphone more than once, after selling the original purchase. I'm also curious about what caused the re-buy.   For me, I really wanted to like the HifiMAN 400. Bought it, was disappointed, sold it, then a few months later, figured I...

Hi, I'm new to producing, and I am looking to purchase my first over-ear headphones to use in this process.  I will attempt to give you guys a clear picture of what music I am looking to arrange, as well as my budget and restrictions to help narrow the search. Thanks in advance for any help or...
