Presently I have a pair of HD201's, and I love the amount of detail I got for my $16.  Last week I tried a friends new Steelseries Siberia V2's, and was surprised about what I thought.  I didn't like the relative lack of detail, but I actually enjoyed the wider soundstage (headstage?), loved the...

I'm Curious. What sounds better than a K550 for sealed headphones or is it not possible?

Hello, everyone. These arrived yesterday, but I was unable to listen due to getting oral surgery that day. The suspense has been killing me, so here's a review. The retail price for these headphones, with leather headband, is 315 265USD directly from MrSpeakers. Normally, I would consider this...

So I recently got into this whole audiophile thing because I produce rap beats. I wanted to get a random pair of headphones that had a subwoofer on so I checked Klipsch, Sennheiser, Ultrasone, and Denon and even SkullCandy. From my research I see a huge lack of these headphones in the industry...

I've finally decided to pop my 'headphone mod' cherry and had a quick question for my first venture into custom pads with my Denon D2000:   Lawton Angle Pads or Mr Speaker's Mad Dog Alpha pads ?   After reading as much as I could around I've narrowed it down to those two (Jmoney knocked out...

Hello, just made an account. I have been lurking for a couple of days.   I am looking to buy a pair of headphones that:   1) Cost around $100-300. 2) Are comfy for studying. 3) Don't bleed much if at all. (do any closed headphones bleed?)   I will be using them primarily at...

I've been using the FiiO E09K/E17 with my Mad Dogs w/ Alpha Pads and it sounds good, but I know that I can do better if I am willing to spend a bit more. For now, let's say my budget is $500 or less. What can you recommend for an amplifier and a DAC? Also, size is a bit of a constraint seeing as...

Hi, I am new to this community. Can anyone direct me to a review/comparison of the various mods available for the T50rp. Saw a couple of terms like Thunderpants, Paradox and Mad Dogs bouncing here and there. Can anyone help me out? Looking for something with good bass, detail and soundstage...

Time to open up the unofficial thread for the year:   I got a pair of MDs (with the Dog Pads) from a collective group of friends that seems to finally understand me, as well as one of the two final Sigur Ros albums that I'm missing from my collection.   I gave a Grado and an SOL Republic...

Hi guys, I was wondering what headphones you guys would reconmend in my specified price range, I mainly listen to Hardcore and Metal and am currently considering the Sennheiser hd25 and B&W P5's, if you could suggest the best of the two or even a different headphone altogether within my price...

Hi everyone, can you guys help me decide a combo of headphone with amp/dac with the budget of $700? Most of the time I listen to J-Pop and classical music. A little bit rock sometimes, but not much. I like something that is detailed and has good imaging. Thanks.   Edit: my source is the...

I have an e17  + (z2300 amp) so I can get good volume but nothing EXTREME so it would be nice if the hp's you recommend me don't need EXTREME amping, but mention them anyway   I'll be upgrading from my current sony xb700, i like their sound signature quite a lot so i'm basically looking for...

Hi there, As the title suggests, i have been a lurker for a while and am hoping to learn more about sound. I have had a pair of klipsh image one for the longest time and am hoping to find a new pair and learn somethings along the way Notes: I listen to lots of emotional music ,classical ,and...

I'm ready to pull the trigger on some new cans. My budget is around $300.

Ok I apologize for anyone who told me not to get these but I actually have beef with them for different reasons than what some have said.  I love the Grados SR80i but my wife doesn't lol.  She thinks that they will wake up our little one being that I mainly use them in the room next to his.  To...

Anyone have any suggestions for mids centric headphones?

Hello. I'm looking for headphones in the 250$ - 300$ budget. Unfortunately I'm pretty lost and don't know which way to go. As an iem i've been using shure se215 which i liked a lot and now i have sennheiser IE8. Both of these are bass heavier earphones. I like the sound signature very much and...

Hey everyone, I've been listening to generic iPod earbuds for a while now, and it is certainly time for me to get some quality sounding headphones.  However, I am specifically looking for closed headphones that have great portability and durability as I plan to use the headphones for both home...

Once again, I am trying to find some sensibly-priced closed cans for use at home, when the use of my open HE-500s or HD600s is not practical (i.e. when my wife is watching television, or in summer when the air conditioning is running at full blast).   The cans will generally be used on the...

Looking for some detailed closed circumaural cans. They also need good isolation. Sound leakage is not a huge concern although a ton of sound leakage would be a problem. I assume as long as they're not open back they should be fine.   I'm not a huge fan of bass and don't really care about...

Hello, Head-Fi'ers. I am in need of some advice and recommendations. I've been lurking around the forums for the past couple of days gathering information for my first audiophile headphone purchase. I'm looking to make a purchase online this weekend but I'm undecided on which setup to go with...

Ok, so these both are awesome mods. they really change the fostex into a whole new headphone. Both of these headphones are made to compete in the $400 and up headphone category. The Mad dogs can eb found for $260, where the Thunderpants can be found for $450+. I understand that the Thunderpants...

Hello head-fi community I am searching for headphones to use with a Tera Player and have some special requirements. And I'm a total noob at headphones. Why am I searching? I loved music since I can remember and when another pair of headphones killed themselves I decided to get myself a good...
