Heyo,   I only recently started looking into what I've come to think of as "real" headphones, after seeing so many people suggest brands I'd never even heard of.  Right now I own a Razer Carcharias, with which I've not really noticed too many problems; however, with all the people praising...

I recently acquired a pair of Fischer Audio FA-011's and purchased an Asus xonar dgx for a cheap dac/amp that also had dolby headphone for gaming. I'm now looking for another amp to add between my xonar and the FA-011 to improve the sound quality further. I don't want to have a standalone amp...

Anyone heard both and can comment ?

Is there an available balanced cable for Mad Dogs? I know the stock cable goes into only one side. I know one of the modders has modded it with a balanced cable. Pardon my ignorance, but can you have a balanced cable that enters only one side? Is there a ready-made solution to balance them? The...

Hey guys, I'm at a point in life right now where I cant hang on to my LCD-2's anymore. I just need the money very badly but I don't want to just stick with my Sony V6's, I was planning on selling my LCD-2s and using half the money for bills etc and taking the other half and getting a different...

I am looking for a pair of headphones under 200 dollars. Currently, I have a pair of bose ae2's, and I genuinely enjoy them;however, the sound doesnt wow me. I had ATH m50's but they were uncomfortable. So my focus is on comfort and sound. What do I listen to? Electronic, rock, folk, indie...

I've had my Beyerdynamic DT770 80ohmers for 4 years now and they've been great,but the upgrade bug is biting me and just looking for something new. Open or closed doesn't matter as these will be used on my desktop,my budget is 2-300$ and most of the music I listen too is older metal...

Hey! I've had my M50's for a while now - I use them to listen to music as I go to and from places by bus and train, plugging them into my iPhone 5 or my iPod Classic 120Gb. - and I was wondering what would be a step-up from these amazing cans in as many aspects as possible. Obviously it would be...

Copied from my original review on Headfonics.  If you would be kind enough to post a comment after reading my review, I would greatly appreciate it.        Every once and a while, the Audiophile universe manifests something that is truly worthy of praise in the highest regard. Something to...

Hi friends!   I'm looking for a great pair of closed headphones, since I am sharing my living room with other people. I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD 598, but since they are completely open, it gets annoying in the long run in these circumstances.    I've had a look at...

Can anyone recommend headphones that are comfortable for those with big heads? I don't really have any price point in mind, but it seems incredibly difficult to find headphones (particularly of the closed-back variety) that don't give you migraines after long term wear.

Hello all, I had these two cans laying around so I felt like comparing them: Setup: iMac --> Bifrost Uber --> M^3 w/ Sigma o11 PSU iMac was running Vox, using FLAC music by: Santana: The Best of Santana Daft Punk: Random Access Memories The White Stripes: Elephant Cables: Canare Cable for...

Time for an upgrade. The following are my requirements. I'm curious what you guys think.   Budget - < $450 Source - Fiio E18 now (plus ODAC+O2 or Schiit stack in a few months). Requirements for Isolation - Absolutely none. Preferred Type of Headphone - Open air. Preferred tonal...

I have just purchased a Musical Fidelity X-Can v3 and think it's time to upgrade my faithful HD414s, but have been out of head-Fi for a while as my Copland has no headphone socket. Looking to spend around $300, so looking for suggestions Thanks

I've always wanted to try an orthodynamic headphone like the LCD-2 that everyone seems to rave about, but I just don't have the money to drop $1000+ on a headphone (I got my current Sennheiser HD 650's on sale for $200).  What's the best (if it even exists) budget orthodynamic headphone out...

After hours of research, I just purchased Sennheisers hd 25-1 ii. They came today and i quickly tried them out. Not what I was expecting. I read that they were a little bass heavy but I didnt let it bother me too much. However I felt that these cans dont have enough clarity for me- It seems as...

Hello all, please direct me if this is in the incorrect spot. I will soon be traveling long hours on planes so I am thinking of picking up a closed back headphone. Comfort is a big factor here. I am currently looking at Mr Speakers Mad Dog and will drive it with an e11. Any suggestions...

i recently had akg 550's . i thought they were good but lacking bass . is there a sealed head phone that offers better SQ and a little more bass . my price range is 200-350.

Instead of clogging the appreciation thread, I thought I'd start one dedicated to sharing thoughts on pairing amps with all incarnations of the Mad Dog.   Right now, I have the 3.2 SE and a Fiio E17. It sounds nice to me, but I'm not well-versed in the world of amps - I don't really have a...

Has anyone had any experience with the Mad Dogs paired with either the X3 or X5? Are either of them able to sufficiently power the Mad Dogs? Thanks a lot!

Hey, guys so I was looking for new closed headphones in the 350 or lower price range. And there's a looooot to choose from. So I've decided to make a poll, where you can vote for your favourite headset to help me choose :3   Now if you vote it would be awesome if you leave a comment stating...

Hello,   I'm looking for a pretty decent jack of all trades to use both at home and on the go.  I mostly listen to IDM and ambient but also various electronic, indie, hip-hop, classical and more.  I would ideally like to spend less than $300 but my budget is flexible.  It's important that...

I have pretty much decided on getting the ASUS Xonar DGX sound card for my new gaming PC, but I have been looking at headphones for a bit now and hard to decide. I am really a Sennheiser fan, used an HD 280 back in college to edit my post-production work and really was impressed with them. I was...
