Hi all,   I have a set of Shure SRH-440 modified with SRH-840 pads(HPAEC840).  Lately I've been thinking of picking up a set of the ATH-M50, because some stores are clearing them out, and they can be had for around $100-130.  I searched through the forum, and found a few people say there...

I have no idea if this cable has been mentioned on Head-fi, although the stock cables jack was driving me crazy on my SHR440, far to long and putting strain on my Studio V input jack. After looking around for many days I managed to find an replacement/upgrade cable that people may be interested...

And all the other AKG's are, like the new K545? I mean, they're $100, but seriously can compete with the Shure SRH-840! So it's weird that a headphone with such a great value is quite unknown over here...

I own a Shure SRH 440 and Phillips CITISCAPE UPTOWN headphones. I have been using the philips for a while, after switching to the Shure , i realized how much uncomfortable they are.    I can use the phillips for hours without any discomfort ,but with shure after half an hour at most, they...

I'm thinking about going all out in order to get the best audio experience possible(that my budget allows). I choose the Little Dot I + because it is supposed to pair well with headphones I have,which have a low impedance  the Shure SRH440.   How exactly am I supposed to pair them together...

I really like the sound of my SRH 440's, which is why when I broke the first one, I bought another - but I've broken 2 pairs now, in exactly the same way. By falling asleep in them.   The piece of plastic that connects the earcups to the headband snaps, everything else about the headphones...

Been looking for a pair of closed headphones for portable use. I have been looking at these. Custom One Pros, Shure SRH440/840 and Sony Prestige MDR-1R. I mostly listen to Metal, acoustic and dubstep. So what ones would you say would suit my needs more? Also i would be open to suggestions.

Hey everyone,    I'm currently in the market for a set of portable headphones for around $200 mark.  In my portable rig currently, I'm using a set of SRH440's with a C421 amp. After using a set of HD600's at home for the past few months, I've found the SRH400 is way too fatiguing compared to...

I have Senns HD 380 Pro I use at home and It's too bulky to wear outside, I listen to RNB and hiphop a lot and I need a headphone I can use outside and has good sound quality can handle some beating in other words, durable. My music source is my LG G2. Any suggestions aside from ATH-M50? I live...

I finally have the urge to replace my old Denon AH-D1000 headphones. They worked and sounded great but a few of the plastic bits are coming apart. I believe they are closed but don't feel or sound that way (i.e. poor noise isolation). After hours of research today, I've narrowed it down to the...

I haven't stopped thinking of headphones ever since I've joined Head-Fi :p . I'm currently looking for a set of cans that can be best described by the following sentences. Bass is not a necessity but, it does have to be present, punchy and should not muddy up the mid and higher registers...

Hello,   I'm looking for Head Amp/ DAC (combo or separate boxes) for $250 max. that can drive the following adequately.   Currently have: Sony MDR-V6 Shure SRH440 AKG Q701 (on its way)   Planning to have: Beyerdynamic DT880 (600 Ohm) Sennheiser HD 600   DAC: 24/192...

Looking for a good over-ear phone for listening to music ranging from EDM to free form jazz.  Should I look for one with apparently a more neutral configuration like KNS6400 or Shure SHR440? Don't want to spend much more than $100.

Ive been looking for a pair of over ears for a while and its hard finding a suitable one. Im looking for a pair of over ears thats not too expensive.   Ive recently tried the Sennheiser HD 360. Its ok but the cord is way too long and the bass is pretty low.  I will be returning the...

Hey, i'm looking for headphones to listen to a plethora of Japanese music(pop, rock. animusic etc ^^, if u need i can list samples). My wallet has only 100 - 120$ not more. I was thinking about shure srh440 but i'm not sure it's good headphones for me.     btw. my sound card is maya u5.

The ATH M40 is attractively discounted on amazon right now and i almost impulse-bought it a few hours ago. price aside... is this headphone any good compared to its big brother (M50) and other highly regarded monitors out there like the Senn HD 280, Sony 7506 and Shure 440?

I am looking for my first real set of headphones, and I am asking them to do a lot, so hear me out.   I need something that is semi-isolating, but can be a tad open (hence the K 240). I sometimes listen in noisy environments for short-er periods, but I don't care much about sound leakage to...

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting on these forums. I am just getting into higher-quality headphones. About a year ago, I, unwilling to spend over $100 on a pair, bought myself the Shure SRH440, which I still believe are a great value. At first I was very impressed with the...

Hello, head-fi people!   I'm stuck with the same old question - Shure SRH440 or Grado SR60i. My main concern is that I wear glasses all the time and I'm not truly sure about these headphones ergonomics. Mostly I listen to 70's rock (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc.), blues rock (B.B. King, John...

Sorry, wrong place. Delete this thread.

Hey gang,   Haven't posted on here before, but I spent a long time reading through the forums when searching for my last pair of headphones; now that I have my hands on a new (and infrequently-reviewed) pair, I figured I should post a review! So without further ado, here's my review of the...

I bought a pair of Shure 440s the other day. I've just returned from overseas - where I bought them from an authorised re-seller.   In case you aren't bothered to read the whole thing (I'm gonna explain what I think might be the problem?) - basically my new headphones sounded ok. I used them...

Hi....   I have the chance of getting the uptown's and the srh440 for 80 euros (or just one for 40 euros) in a mint condition or i can save a little bit more and buy a brand new pair of Ath-m50's for 99 euros....   So what you guys think?   The philips for 40? The Shure's for 40? The...

I'm a music producer and DJ on a $100 budget. I've done some SERIOUSLY intense research on some good headphones for this purpose, and I found these 4. I need to know which one has the better sound, better build, and better aesthetics.

I'm new to headfi and this is my first post, but I'm not new to the audiophile world.  I just don't spend much time on forums.  I wanted to purchase some headphones under $200 for a good listening pleasure (not using for recording).   I know that there are a lot of threads about both of...
