What are some of the most renown over-ear headphones of all time?

A simple question that has me somewhat puzzled. I somewhat understand how soundstage works in headphones. Big factors include the angle and distance between the driver and the ear can make the headphone sound intimate (hd25) or immersive and deep (hd800). But when this distance/angle factor is...

This is the impression I get from those of you that call yourselves audiophiles (correct me if I'm wrong).  You at one time loved music and wanted it to sound as good as possible.  But in that quest you have taken on the thought that music needs to sound as accurate as it can, and it has become...

I have a set of Beyer DT990 250ohm cans and recently bought a set of MDR-1RNC also.  With both headphones, I am listening to them through a MisterX M^3 amp with sigma6 power supply.  The sound is very detailed, and not too digital at all.  I like it, especially with my DT990.  The source is a...

Why is it that when a pair of headphones has a slight treble emphasis it's still called neutral, but when it has a slight mids or bass emphasis, it's always labelled as colored? Wouldn't all three scenarios represent headphones that are equally far from being neutral? Does neutral mean something...

I am writing this because I used to be an hd800 enthusiast but no more. I gor mine and the ear pads never sealed themselves properly no matter what I did. They were literally falling apart to the extent that they were unlistenable. Sennheiser always avoided the problems I contacted them about...

Ok look, I'm 15 and I'm in 10th grade. It might just be me but I honestly think I'm the only teen on here! (prove me wrong )  Am I the only friggin teenager that cares about sound???? PLEASE!! A loooong time ago (when I was around 11 or 12) I saved up some money and bought myself a pair of...

I've always loved music but never delved into equipment that much. Around 2006 I got my first iems (d-jays) and liked them so much I quickly got q-jays when they came out, then TF10s around 2008-9. But remembering further, I recalled I used to have a pair of Sennheisers I bought on a whim one...

Hello, I'm curious about buying HD800 As addon to Fostex TH900 And T1. You think It's worth ? as I'm looking for a bigger sound stage and natural sound If not you recommend any other? Thanks ^.-

After all these years I'm still looking. The ER4 serves me great for the bulk of my listening but they're less conveniant when I need to take them off and put them back on quickly. Beyer DT250-250 was pretty close but I sold them due to the flattering effect on the sources which messed up my...

Apparently people dislike the beats by dr dre's because of race. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF0hbXfLPxQ

Hello, my fellow head-fi friends. I believe I have located the best headphones known to man. Top-notch build quality and design. Supremely comfortable. Accurate and utterly effortless sound First of all they are drop-dead gorgeous and an extremely high quality construction. I have not seen...

I've been steadily upgrading my gear over the last several years. Currently, I'm running a Headroom Max into HD800s.   I went through several different upgrades on my way to the HD800s, with the previous step being the HD650s. Of course, both are awesome, but the HD800s are SO much more...

Hi so i think my situation is a bit special,because i had the HD800 and K1000 in the past but had to sell them,needed the money for something else. anyways,i'm looking for a downgrade that won't be too painful I'm looking for a good set of neutral sounding headphones for 300$ or less.  ...

Hi, I'm new to the forums and I'm wondering what headphones I should buy? My budget for the Headphones + any equipment I need (Amp?) is around £2000 . I'm not an audophile, I just enjoy good sound and would like to purchase some top quality headphones. I was thinking about the Sennheiser HD...

Does anybody know where i can find fake HD800s, HD600s or just a fake high-end copy. Something around $10 . Doing some modding/projects. No beats fakes, try Grado or Senns fakes!

They are so musical and full of life! I guess if you like numbers and graphs you may like the HD800, But if you like music the PS1000e is for you! Please, PS1000e fans-Join me! And we shall glorify them in front of every head-fier!  Seriously, Why? I would just wish they were designed better...

Planar magnetic headphones from Russia. Изодинамические наушники из России.  

Well, I don't quite like reviews that give too much importance to the technical aspects of a certain headphones than its musicality. We all want to listen to music after all! So, Let me compare the PS1001Ks to the HD800 like a musician and music lover like me would. _________________      ...

Hi, I don't have much experience with Japanese IEMs except Fitear TG334.  I know there are lots of threads about Japanese iems, but I think it's better for me to ask those that have lots of experience with them to rank them and list them.   So, can you rank Japanese iems you have tried from...

I'm going to have $1500 at my disposal in a few weeks and i'm looking to upgrade in any way. I love my hd650's, it's the signature sound that gets me, I however am unsure as I've never tested out any equipment other then my own that i've purchased over time. my journey started with the compass...

Hello all, I've been in the market for new headphones for a week or two now.   I'm a singer, and will be recording stuff here soon, and I'd like to know what's considered a decent pair for recording? The only full-sized headphones I ever owned were the old Bose Tri-Ports, which I think are...

Inpired by the "Do Grados Look Ugly? Or Do They Look Cool?" thread:   Does the design of headphones influence your buying decisions?       I am affected by the design. If they look ugly to me I have a hard time liking them. I do appreciate the sound for itself, but most probably...

Hi, I've been wanting to purchase more headphones to add to my collection and rather than ask details about the sound, I thought that this method may get me responses faster and I can use it as reference for some future purchases. I own all the headphones in my sig, except Stax, but one...
