Hey, I am fairly new to this site, and I am just looking for some great reviews from you audiophiles!   I am looking for over the ear headphones. The type of music I listen to is 95% EDM. Mostly progressive house, electro, tech house and lots of vocal/uplifting trance. My budget is $250 but...

Budget of 250$ for headphones. I listen to classical music 95% of the time...so that's all I'm worried about the sound for. Will be using these on my computer for which I just purchased a new sound card. The Creative Sound Blaster Z with a 600 ohm amp. From looking around here you guys are...

Hey guys, I love how comfy my Sennheiser HD598 is and I've had the HD595 previously with the foam removal mod but I feel like I'm missing bass with these headphones. Reason why I haven't got a Grado is because I hear they are uncomfortable and I'm really picky about the comfort of my headsets...

I have had my HD650's for a while now (about 3 months or more) and they sound great coming straight out of my motherboard which is advertised with a 600 ohm amp; here is my motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K23BYCI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1   I just got the...

Could you help me decide between these two? They are the same price on Amazon and I just can't decide! I will be using them for gaming on Xbox One and all-genre listening. The audio sources will be my phone (HTC One M8 Harman Kardon Edition) and my Xbox One. I'd like to be able to pinpoint where...

Hi, all. Interested in people's feedback on this thread. I listen to rock, country, bluegrass, edm, opera, and jazz--in roughly equivalent doses. I am not a basshead. I have several other cans, but none that fits in this precise niche. I appreciate the assistance very much!

Hello and many thanks for the forum posts! I've been reading some time and I have received good help.   Now it's time to say hi and ask one question.   I would like to buy a set of open over the ears headphones to be used with Fiio X1 without amp   I'm currently using it with shure se215...

Hello everyone, I've been in a hunt for around two months to buy a new headphones and still can't make up my mind between open back and closed back headphones. I mostly listen heavy metal genres like slipknot, swallow the sun, as I lay dying, type o negative, nine inch nails and so many other...

Hi,   I’m seeking some help and advice in choosing an upgrade to my Sennheiser 598’s. One problem I have is that there are hardly any specialist retailers near where I live ( Cornwall, UK ) so I’m mostly ‘flying blind’.   I am interested in a home setup ( I mostly listen to audio books on my...

I just recently bought the HD 598s and I was not happy with them at all, they're comfortable and look nice but I can't enjoy the sound especially for the 230 dollars I paid.   Are there any other recommendations you guys can give me for less that 250 USD? I use my headphones mainly for PC...

Hey, new to the forums but i've been browsing a bit in my search for decent headphones. I'm about to pull the trigger on a pair of HD598's and a FiiO E17 and i'd like to know your opinions on them. I was originally going for the HD650's but i think they would be a bit too pricey for my first...

Hi there,   had two questions for you guys.   1) I just bought Sennheiser HD598s (my 5th or 6th pair of headphones, I only keep one at a time though). I have a Cowon Z2. I have to have these at 45 (for loud music) or 50 (for quiet music) and it's actually still pretty quiet. Not quiet...

I have the HD 598s and the HD 650s are on their way. I have often heard that the HD 598s are classified as "warm" while the HD650 are classified as "dark". Where can I find out what these mean? I keep getting conflicting responses.

Hi all,   I have been using my Sennheiser HD650 and 598 for some time right now, and I have noticed that I cannot really do a great job of telling when the volume is TOO loud, since the sound is not assaulting my earbuds (especially with the HD650!). I'd like to hold on to those hair cells...

I've read a lot of really good things about the AKG K612 on head-fi and elsewhere, even suggestions that it is well on the way to the SQ of a Sennheiser HD600. I am very pleased with my recently acquired HD598 and find it hard to believe that an HP costing under £100 can be as good - the 612's...

  Never used any of this stuff before, and I got talked into using Open headphone instead of closed, NEVER used open before, so I dont know if im going to like them at all.   Is this the best i could do for ~$350 or could i do betterish?

Hi all, long time lurker and first time poster. I've been researching headphones for portable use lately. I've decided that I simply need help.    I listen to a lot of hard rock, metal, classic rock, & some dubstep. Normally this is from a Samsung Galaxy S3 modded with AC!D audio engine...

Hey guys, I'm new here and I desperately need help.   Today my mate broke the only pair of headphones I ever head: my Beats Solo. Yes I know, not the best headphones ever but they were a present 3 years ago I didn't feel like throwing them in the bin to buy something else. They were not too...

I want a pair of amazing closed headphones for when i travel on a plane or want isolation while gaming. I also want a pair of open headphones for those warmer days and when my house is actually quiet while I am playing Battlefield on my desktop. So I have ordered both the Audiotechnica M50s and...

Hi, new to Head-fi,   Im looking for a bit of a headphone upgrade. I currently have a pair of Sennheiser HD-280 that I really love but want to go further. I usually listen to EDM dance music and electronic. I was considering stepping up to the 598s but from the reviews I've seen here, the...

I am after some open headphones that go around the ear. I primarily listen to electronic music (trance, drum and bass, breakbeat) and progressive rock. I am coming from the astro a40 headset and I have never really owned a proper set of headphones. My budget is around $200 australian dollars, I...

Hello, people of Head-Fi.   Don't fear me, I come in peace. I wish to tap into the roots of your knowledge of audio.    I am looking for a new pair of headphones. After seeing the Sennheiser HD598 I immediately fell in love (with the looks..), but I am reading mixed reviews on it (great...
