Hey everyone, I am looking for new headphones that open and between $150-$200. I have the Koss Pro DJ100 and V-Moda m80, but there are a couple problems with both that I would like to alleviate with my a new set of headphones. My criteria's would be: -Very comfortable!!!!!!! (I am not able to...

Hi, I am look for some comfortable around the ear headphones.  I will be using this for movies, gaming, and music.  I have tried headphones in the past, and have always run into a problem with overheating, and the pressure becoming to much after an hour or so of use.  I have a somewhat big head...

I have a pair of sennheiser hd 558 that were okish for a while. Last night I was listening to music and the left driver blew because i was overloading it with dubstep....poor thing....but something good came of this.   I always wondered why they used plastic drivers, plastic frame and cone...

Back 5-6 years ago I spent a fair bit of money getting a nice set-up. At the time I purchased a few sets of headphones. Out of everything I've spent my money on, however, I have yet to find a pair of cans that have served me as well as my old(and now in tatters) Sennheiser 595s. I'm looking for...

Hello together,   i really like the sound of my Sennheiser HD540 Rerference II. The Problem: I don't like it's fit . i prefer the newer series, e.g. HD515 (but i don't like it's sound).   Is there a Headphone, which sounds nearly similar - i tried 558, but it wasn't that satisfying...

I've been looking at headphones on Amazon, and now I'm considering getting a pair of V-Moda Crossfade LP's or M-100's. Is either model friendly towards rock music? It seems to me that these are the way to go instead of the Sennheiser HD 558's, considering the audiophile/live performance tag PLUS...

Factory Refub HD558 Got here not 10 mins ago. Total shipped to my door $105.42 Not digging the Paper Package ( A box too much?) Everything is in order tho: Soundstage GALORE!!!  

So I've started coming to site more frequently over the past few months for people's opinions on various sets of headphones (it's been both a blessing and a curse, lol) I can never seem to fully grasp what people talk about when it comes to the different levels of the sound spectrum, especially...

I have a friend that is looking for in-ear or on-ear headphones to have. his budget is up to 200 $. He listen mostly to dubstep and electronic music. He need an headphones with microphone so he will be able to talk people on the phone using the headphones. It will be helpful if the headphones...

I'm looking for comfort, sq, and durability.  I will be using them at home with a pc for extended periods of time (up to 5hrs). So far I've been looking at Grado sr125i and Sennheiser hd 558 headphones, but I want to know if there is anything better in the 200$ price range. I don't have an...

I'm a novice audiophile and know a bit about headphones but not much. I currently own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50s but I'm looking to upgrade to another pair of around ear headphones that sound better. I was thinking about the Sennheiser HD 558s but I don't really know what else is out...

Hey   My HD 555 headband broke few days ago. I nearly bought HD 598, but more rational approach would be trying to fix the current headset.   Although only the small plastic element (the slim plastic for regulating height of the right headphone) broke, seems I have to buy whole headband...

Please move if this is in the wrong section, i didn't know whether to post here or in "sound science"..   Hi, i recently was told that if you remove the inner mesh from your headphones that it could possibly increase sound quality.. i tested his theory and by golly it might have made a...

I could not find a thread that clarified what separates the different product lines from Ultrasone.  Mainly the HFi vs Pro.  Anyone know? 

Should be getting some extra money soon and looking to replace my hd428s with something with a fabric or whatever cushion and more bass preferrably. Looking on Amazon i've found a few sennheisers i'm interested in and depending on what i get, I am also looking at some portable amps. Here's my...

I've somewhat picked out a pair that I liked, but i'm worried i'll need an amplifier. I went to the crutchfield store the other day and fell in love with a pair of Sennheiser HD598s. Although when I was at the store I tested them using an amplifier they had at the store that all the headphones...

on amazon they have some used and refurbished headphones "like new" condition at decent prices.  Anyone ever purchased from here before?

Welcome guys! I've always loved reading some of the posts on here but now I have my own question. I am in need of a new pair of full size headphones for my pc. I went from a 5.1 setup to nuforce ne700x IEM's. They sound great but are annoying for constant pc use. I can't use speakers because...

Hi guys , my 2 year old  32 ohm/106 db philips closed headphone is dying ,now am looking for open headphones. but im confused whether i need a dac because my source is a dell laptop (15r turbo) using conexant  audio codec.   When i asked dell support about on board sound card they replied...

On both my HD518 and 558 the headband pad is starting to peel off and the sound cuts out on the 558's if I move the wire just a little. And this has happened just with normal use and I always handle them carefully. Anyone else have build problems with Sennheisers?

So, I've been lurking around here for quite a while trying to find an appropriate set of headphones for me, but there are so many option for a sound noob like me that I just don't know what to choose, meaby you guys will help out.   I'm looking for a set of comfortable, closed, over the ear...

I've been using an fairly decent headset with my laptop for gaming/movies/music which I've had for about 5 years now. I've realized how much I do actually use them and I figure it would be worth the money to pick up a nice pair of over the ear headphones (I can attach a mic to the headphone wire...
