Has anyone had the privilege of comparing these two yet? I am looking for an upgrade from my SE215 and essentially I want better clarity and moar bass  I'm looking for something that isn't warm or dark. My nicest phones are the Phiaton MS400, and while I love and enjoy them, they just seem dull...

Whenever I listen to music loudly, it sounds stronger and more powerful to say. Not just because it's loud, but it has power behind it. Is there a pair of headphones that can recreate this feel without them having to be turned up so loud, as I do not want to damage my ears in the long run.  ...

Although I consider myself an audiophile, I am new to the headphone game.  My current systems consists of a Classe' CAP 151 integrated amp, a Cambridge Audio DACMagic D/A converter being fed lossless files from my Macbook laptop, Revel M20 stand mounted monitors and a Sony XDRF-HD1 tuner.  ...

Review of the Phiaton MS 400s Source : Computer, On board Gigabyte Realtek sound card                On the Iphone and Ipod Touch all of the things said in this review is the same, except the sound quality, there are more upper mids on the Iphone, and the mids are more forward.  Price : on...

I swore I wouldn't be back. But here I am.  TLDR version in the middle of the thread.     I am looking for portable headphones that I can carry around in my bag, and for my to use while I am out and working. A little background info would help, I am a real estate photographer, so I am out...

Hi guys, new here and about to purchase a set of cans. I admit im looking for some headphones that will blow my head off with bass. I am not looking for an accurate sound. Also ill be listening to about 75% Rap music so these and the XB500 models seem to fit the bill. I've read over the XB500 vs...

Hi everybody,   It's been a while since i joined the forum and now I need your advice! I would like to buy a pair of portable headphones to use with my iphone and i cannot decide between the Phiaton Ms400 black and the Bowers&Wilkins P5. I already have in my headphones collection a pair...

afternoon gents Right I have a budget of a £150 (uk pounds),this will be used with my iPad,iPod and computer and Possibly my iPhone. I have been looking at the Bose on ears (£125) as I already have the new Bose iem,which I quite like :) although I know Bose take a bashing on here. So what...

I am in the market to but a new set of headphones for on the go. They will be mainly used on a college campus, not that it matters but it might. I have been searching this forum franticly trying to learn as much information as I can about portable sets. I have almost pulled the trigger and...

Just curious how would they compare in a few categories- Isolation? Sound Quality?       treble?       mids?       bass? Also will the TMAs easily slip off your head because it need to be able to stay on my head better than my M50's  Also how hard does the bass hit? can you like...

sound quality fit isolation 

So basically I'm new to the whole audiophile thing and I really want to listen to music properly. I listen mostly to classical music and classic rock/reggae, but i do occasionally listen to heavy metal as well. primarily though, i want headphones for classical music, so i can really hear all the...

I have finally narrowed it down to these two headphones I dont want to buy a portable amp, I listen to mainly hip-hop and indie/acoustic music, I place a slight emphasis on style, and I like a little tight bass. which to buy ?

I'm thinking about purchasing some Denon AH D1100's for £97, and to accompany them I have seen a FiiO E5 amp for £13 and a FiiO L3 Line out dock cable for my ipod, is this a good combo and are the extras a good idea ? thanks very much

Sorry If this was in the wrong section. I didn't know whether to put this in full or portable headphones. Ok I am distressed. I am a huge audiophile. But when it comes to choosing headphones I am completely clueless about the ones I should get. I want headphones that are amazing to listen to and...

I've been looking for some good headphones for a while now and am looking for some help. I'm not a huge sound snob, but I want a good pair. I've been doing a lot of research on this website and I have a few in mind. I was hoping you guys could help me make up  my mind. I want something that has...

A while ago I dropped my phiaton ms 400 to the floor, and the left earcup was broken. That sucks bigtime of course, especially because it is not covered by the warranty. Regardless I contacted Phiaton to ask how much it would cost to repair the headphone. Guess what, they offered to repair it...

Thank you to everyone for the many helpful posts one Head-Fi. I have been doing a lot of reading trying to find something that would best fit my needs.   I listen to music a lot at work (mostly from my laptop or smartphone and usually through Pandora or mp3s). My listening is 75% female...

I am deciding between these two. I really like the way the Image Ones sound at best buy through my S:Flo2, but I can't use them through this player. The iPod functionality makes music sound like a karaoke track unless the middle "call receive" button is held in.   The Phiaton's have a...

Hey everyone,   long time lurker, first time poster. Well...i've posted in the Buy/Sell forum, but yeah, first post here.   Anyway...here is the dillema.   I'm looking for some new cans for my iPhone + home use, so been doing a lot of research.   Some prices in Melbourne...

Hi, am looking to upgrade from my Sennheiser HD 448s.  I have previously listened to the HD 438s and really like the sound of them (esp the mids and vocals) but would like to get something better around the price range of $200.  I have looked at the Denon Ah-d1100s which I didn't like, am...

First of all I would like to say this is a great forum. It also seems that the people on the forum are actually helpful unlike many other hobbyit forums, which is a breath of fresh air.   I am looking for good headphones......   Let me give you some histroy of what im looking for and...

Yeah.. like the title says. I really love the style of the beats, but I definitely understand that the sound quality is sub-par for the price. I'm kind of disappointed that the bass didn't have the presence I was hoping for. I can't really get myself to return them. I've been looking at the...

You decide,   What is your all time best looking portable headphone?  

I am USAF currently forward deployed in Iraq.  I have a lot of time and not much to do when I am not on duty, so I find myself listening to my iPod and headphones a lot more than usual.  When I was at home I typically would only listen to music in my car which has a pretty good stock sound...
