Hey,   I need new full size headphones and my budget is 90$ to 100$. The options i thought about is: Shure SRH440                                              Sennheiser HD515                                              Grado SR80i   What do you recommend ? (I added a poll about...

I'm not an audio engineer so I hope someone with the knowledge could help explain things to me in laymen's terms or correct me. That would be really helpful. I'm glad that equalization has started to become more popular recently and that people are starting to understand that equalization CAN...

I prefer not to have open-backed headphone because I'm normally in the room with two loud people and its hard to hear. I previously bought the Sennheiser HD515s, but I built a new computer and don't have a proper sound card in this one (the motherboard audio ports have a hard time powering the...

Hey guys,      I'm all excited about my first post here and can't wait to interact with the head-fi community. Last week, I finally decided to get myself a full-size headphone after two loyal years with in-ears. I am still a fledgling audiophile and so I am not as educated as most of the...

You just know that Arial or Dax, percil etc have their best formula sitting in a vault, they have no financial motive for ever releasing it. Is it the same with headphones? I cant believe that it is not possible to model headphones in a similar manner to speakers and come up with the optimil...

Hi everyone,   I want to buy an entry level headphone about $100, I have looked a lot and learn a lot in last two weeks, but I also don't know which one to buy. So I ask for help here. I use it to listen music, usually pop and rock, also like new age and classic. I play games, but I just...

I'm looking to buy a new pair of headphones for roughly $70. I saw some models...Sennheiser HD515, Audio-technica ATHM40FS and ATHAD700. I have no idea what I should get. My head is average sized. I'll primarily be listening to music (all genres), with occasional gaming. Thanks in advance.

Hello,   First off I'm no expert when it comes to headphones, but I'm especially picky about every gadget i choose to purchase. Right now  I own a set of creative ep-635 in-ear earphones which served me for a good 2 years. But truth be told I've never found them satisfying.   I'm on a...

Hi,   Are the headbands on the Sennheiser 515/555/595 (if there are others please state them) the same?   I own the 595's and would like to replace the leather headband with one with an outer plastic coating so I can go about having them spray painted therefore would like to know which...

Hello folks, I really need some help between these three headphones!   Which one of them has the best sound quality and BASS(Im techno freak)? And is HD 515 detachable?   Please dont say " buy HD 555 , 598 or something else " because Im kinda short with cash and I dont need superb sound...

Come on guys lets be honest, what looks better? HD 555 grill on a 515, and 515 on a 555.           

well....my title says it all, e.g. for the Senn HD515, cheapest on eBay is 85 AUD but on Amazon 50 USD (about 45 AUD thanks to the strong Aussie $)

Hello everybody.  Please forgive any noobishness I may put forth, as I am a headphone noob.   Here is the question + some details:   Are the Sennheiser HD 515's (or comparbly priced cans) worth the $35ish price over a pair of Koss KSC75's?   My budget is right at $50 US.  There is a...

i want a headphone that cant be heard by people around me since its mostly for airtravel and that's kind of the point of a headphone i know that most entry level audiophile headphone is open air so  people around the user can hear what playing in the headphone so around 100bucks on any site...

Yes, the title explains pretty much everything. I tried the Sennheiser HD515's, and though the highs and mids are great the bass is lacking (when I listen to stuff like Bassnectar, Skrillex, deadmau5, or other stuff like that, bass is very important to me). I use the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000's...

  Hey! I just was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on what headphones I should get. I am on a $150 budget.   I'm in high school, so I need something that would comfortable for 2-3 hrs, ie: doing homework, as well as being semi- noise isolating/blocking.   I also...

*I realize there's a whole thread for this, but I posted over there without response, and considering the overpopulation of posts without answers, I don't think I'm going to get one, haha.*   Hey!   I've been looking for great < $60 headphones and What.CD sent me here. I'd pay more, but...

Hello,   First of all, I have never seen a forum so dedicated and well organized as this one. Truly deserve the reputation. So, like every first time curious buyer, I searched a lot of headphones which fit my budget and narrowed the results to few. These are the finalists   1. Sennheiser...

 

Hi,   I've been reading around on Head-Fi for a while now and the time has come for me to buy some new headphones. I'm looking for something around $60 or under. I'm relatively new to headphone hunting so, I'd like to ask the Head-Fi community for help. I've been considering the JVC...

I have just got myself a Fiio E5 and an ipod touch and wanted some headphones to go with them. I was originally looking at the Denon ah-d1001 until I found out the Creatives are the same headphones but rebranded.   I have managed to pick up a pair of Sennheiser HD515 for £35 and can get the...

Hey everyone. I've been looking for a new pair of headphones since my old ones broke. I'd appreciate any recommendations in the 40-60 dollar range. My budget is pretty tight so I probably won't go over it unless it's a really good deal.   Anyway, I'll be using it from mostly my laptop...

You know what to do. please, none of the "i cannot afford this headphone so it looks ugly even though it really looks nice" crap. also, no matter what anyone says, jecklin floats will always be the best looking headphones ever. I'll start off with the sennheiser HD 515, 555, and 595. It's...

Hi there, I currently use a X41 and I am very unsatisfied, I will be selling it to a friend so I will get $200 USD from that.  I don't care about 5.1/wireless and all that useless crap. it has to be: 3.5mm (absolutely no usb) Great for Movies Great for Music Great for Gaming (have to...
