Hey all,   For the past week or so I've been on Head-fi trying to get recommendations for various different headphones for under 300.    The users of Head-Fi were nice enough to give me several suggestions, and today I was able to get myself down to Bay and Bloor Radio in Toronto to test...

So I want to buy this headphone because people say it has good bass, but I also want very clear vocals. How are the vocals on the 429?

In looking for a budget headphone, and knowing Sennheiser recently updated its 200 and 400 lines, I thought I'd take advantage of Best Buy's current sale on the new HD 419's, the lowest model, for $40.     I am no expert and don't usually write reviews, but because there is nothing written...

I just ordered my Sennheiser HD429 headphones to watch movies on my pc. I just wanted to know that will a external amp make any difference to the sound ? Currently will be using the headphone with the onboard asus sound card. Is it worth to buy a amp for HD429 ? My main purpose is to watch...
