Hello, I've known about these forums for a while but I'm pretty new here.   So let me start by saying I am a college student, so suffices to say that I don't have a ton of disposable income. I am a musician but I am not looking for any kind headphones for recording or mixing. I am looking...

I'm a college student looking for headphones ( or IEMs) for metal that are under 100 USD but could stretch it to 150 max. life have been miserable without a good pair and since amazon has that free shipping thing going on thought now would be a good time to make some purchase :D I listen...

So I've been searching for a  pair of cans for in-home use and I came across the SRH440 and it seems pretty good there's just a couple of things that I read online that botherd me. 1. People saying there could be some times a lack of bass, and the thing is, that I listen to alot of different...

I've been using my SRH440 for nearly a year now. Music sounds excellent. However, my Shures aren't always comfortable. My stock pads are worn down and cracked. I searched here and heard that the 840 pads would be a good fit and a comfort upgrade over the stock pads.   So I searched head-fi...

need advice on closed headphones I have not bought any in 15 years and need to get good choices for under 120 bones. I have old sony v6's that are ok but don't have much bass extension and are boring (not very musical). I also own grado sr60's I like these alot but need closed headphones so I...

Hello,      Somewhat new here. Please bare with me. I am looking for headphones in the 100-150 price range. I will be listening on my ipod. No amps or anything like that. Most of the post I have seen so far are recommending only bass HEAVY headphones. I don't know if there is much difference...

Hi I'm after some noise isolating headphones mainly for bus rides etc I listen to mainly drum and bass and other assorted broken beat genres   So far I've narrowed it down to shure srh440 or if I stretched my budget a little some ath m50's From what I can gather though the srh440's can...

Hello to all Forum members, new member and I'm just getting interested in headphones and how they may be able to help me enjoy music and radio again. I've been retired now for seven years and just coming to terms with the loss of some hearing frequencies. Shooting full bore pistols and rifles...

I'm a musician and so is my good friend.  I really want to get him some nice cans for his birthday that is coming up.  I've done TONS of research, but won't get chance to try out many of my options.   He likes all sorts of music and is a piano and trumpet player.  His music tastes are...

Showing up 'Not in stock' on Sony Store USA and Amazon don't have it in stock too. Only 3rd parties. Also the prices have gone high.   Is this the end?   I bought 2 as backup earlier when they were selling for $50.   These are probably the best headphone for value & price!

Ok, so I am looking for a decent pair of headphones. I have split my questions/posts up into the appropriate forums as I am also looking for an amp/dac to go with them. Thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/650271/looking-for-my-first-decent-dac-amp-for-full-time-desktop-use   Here is the quick...

Been searching now for nearly a week, every day all day, and have come up with a few that might work but, I am not convinced and there seems to be no end. The best might be to just decide, but before spending the cash thought I would ask for advice here.    I do video production. Nothing...

I am about to review the Shure 440 vs the ATH-M50 vs Sony XB500. I need some songs to listen to with good vocals, others with good bass, others with wide variety of bass, and still others with layers of music that might show the difference between these headphones. In fact, just any...

Hi,   I'm looking for some circumaural monitoring headphones for around the £100 price point.    Out of interest, what are some recognised brands for these types of headphones?   Cheers

I'm on the lookout for a closed-back circumaural headphone w/ detachable cord. It must be completely over the ear to block out background noise. Oh, and it must be able to fold up as small as possible for travelling if that's not too much to ask.   I've tried the Shure SRH440 but it's not...

I am a first time headphone buyer and I've been doing a lot of research. I'm looking for a neutral pair of headphones and I prefer mids and highs over bass because I listen to mostly rock, ska, metal, alt, etc. I've narrowed it down to these four in my price range,   Sony MDR 7506 - I'm...

Hey guys, I am a normally-headed human being, with slightly bigger ears than usual and glasses. I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD 25-1 ii, super-awesome but really uncomfortable. I travel very often for work and they are amazing in isolating aircraft sounds and noisy people, but sitting...

I'm looking to buy a new pair of cans. I've been using a Sennheiser HD428, but I I am no audiophile (yet), and I need some advice. I've been checking out a couple of headphones; Sony mdr v6 or 7056's, shure 440's. Among these which would you recommend, or if there are other sets that I can check...

I’ve been the owner of a pair of Shure SRH440’s that I’ve replaces the ear surrounds with the SRH840’s. even after a long break in period as well as the upgraded foam I find these not only uncomfortable after 45min of listening but also fatiguing to listen to after just as long. I’ve tried...

My aunt is looking for a pair of headphones and her son came to me since im the tech genius... not in headphones though :P these are going to be a gift to his brother for xmas and he isnt too picky as far as i know of. he just need a decent pair of headphones in that price range that he can use...

Hi, I'm trying to decide between these two headphones. I have looked at reviews and some of the review I have read about them are conflicting (eg. the heavier one being called lightweight and the lighter one being described as too heavy). I have also looked at other headphones but these two...

Hey guys, this is my first "mod" so, I hope you enjoy. If there is any better choices for replacement cables for the SRH440s, I would love to hear them. I took a 3 ft Belkin aux cord I had and got a 2.5mm RadioShack adapter. Now, when you first buy the adapter, it's too round to fit. After about...
