Is MC-150 better than AT-M40X? Does anyone have any experience with these HPs? I mostly want to know about their build quality performance rather than SQ. Which one will be better as a daily driver? It would be nice if you have any suggestion about upgrade models i mean AT M50X vs Mackie MC-250...

Hi, I've recently been having fun repairing headphones and headsets, bought in joblots off ebay. There have been some lucky finds, with several really nice cans just needing a broken jack replacing or an internal wire re-soldering. The thing I always dread though is finding a dead driver, as...

Hi! I'm from Argentina and I'm looking for a pair of headphones for gaming and casual listening to music and watching movies and TV shows; which one of these would you recommend? I need them to be closed-back, and the price of them (in US dollars) here in Argentina are: · Samson SR950: $44 ·...

I just bought a pair of ath m40x's and I own an ipod classic 5th gen. 30gb and an LG X Charge. My question is this:should I expand the storage space on my LG X Charge to roughly 72gb and sell my ipod? Or buy a new charger (since my old one is broken) and just stick with my ipod as my main...

Hello, head-fi. I'm choosing headphones to be used in public setting, such as a library, or next to a roommate with an audiophile's dream type of ultra-sensitive hearing. After about a month of research, I'm still coming back to m40x. Seems like a good deal, but the sound leak is what bothers...

Hello Head-Fi! I need some advice on choosing the right headphones. The big question is: ATH-m40x, RE-400, or RHA ma750? (buying used). Can a higher quality IEM like ma750 rank up to m40x? Portability doesn't matter, but it should have no sound leak and a decent isolation. Behinds the story...

Hi there! I'm looking for a headphone amp for my M40x. I'm using a HifimeDIY usb dac (https://hifimediy.com/DACs/sabre-dac-uae23), because the onboard sound is way too noisy on the office pc. It's almost perfect, but only almost. Since I've changed the earpads to the brainwavz pads, max volume...

Hello I'm waiting for my SHP9500, as I'm very anxious I'm already planning for my next can, a closed one. I have a list of some headphones I found interesting: - Sony MDR V6 - Lots of positive feedback but the treble tendency scares me a little, heard people saying the sound was kinda strange...

Hello lovely people. My name is Mike and I'm from Greece. I made this account because I am looking to buy my first "decent" headphones and since I'm really new to this I need some help. Unfortunately I dont have the option to go and try out some pairs so I need to be absolutely sure about what I...

I really hope that this forum is good and I will not see something like "GO AND LISTEN TO THEM IRL" instead do me a favor and leave this thread. Only tech specifications and personal experience / opinion. I though that I found my dream web site - http://www.rtings.com/headphones. You can find...

Hi all, First post as you may be guessing. Anyhow, I'm fairly new to the whole headphone world; I've been using a pair of 1980s studio headphones that my father gave me, but after a lot of use and 2 recablings they're all but dead. As such I'm in the market for a new pair which i'll use very...

I sticked with my M40x with ZMF's pad upgraded a few months and now want to try something new and higher tie. M560 and HE400i is my choose in around 200$ (HE400i used - like new in Amazon), but I don't have a change to listen and compare those. Any suggestion for those cans?

Hi everyone! The title says most of it. I've used my ath-m40x so much in the last two year that they are now falling apart entirely. They will be unusable in a week, maybe less (though I could extend that with another shot of glue, that's how far I am). Overall I loved them they were a slight...

Hello, this is actually my first post. Great website, have been using it to figure stuff about headphones and have read the forums but never posted or created an account until now. Anyhow, I am looking to buy headphones or earphones under $150 USD. I am not a studio person, but I like to listen...

Hi all! This is my first post on the forum. I have a pair of Beats Solo 2. I'm not an audiophile (I am a musician), and I do like their sound quality - but they're uncomfortable and I prefer over-ear instead of on-ear. I've had my eye on some closed headphones (that I hope to have some...
