So I have a pair of Sony MDR-1R's and love them for their comfort and profile. I put a strong emphasis on comfort since I like to listen to music for long periods of time. The cups and fit (I have a fairly narrow head) are just perfect. But recently I started to listen to more hip-hop on them...

I primarily listen to vocal trance and other electronic music. I really loved the comfort of the Sony MDR-1R, but after going through multiple replacements due to build quality issues (creaks and jack rattle), I'm finding there are shockingly few full-sized alternatives that even come close with...

The Sennheiser Amperior vs beyerdynamic DT vs Sennheiser adidas Original HD 25      which of these headphones are the best money isn't an option and it would really help me any of these would be better then anything i have had in the past 

Hey everyone! Long time lurker making his first post here! When I say warm I mean what you normally think of as being warm, but still good all around,  and pretty good detail. Would like it to have not much leakage, or at least not nearly as much as the vmoda m80's or ibuds. Would like to be...

All - I've enjoyed this site tremendously, and it led me to the purchase of my Westone ES5.  I went with a custom IEM because I've been completely deaf in one ear since birth.  I could get a single IEM with a custom-cable that combined both channels, so I saved quite a bit of money.  As much as...

Hi all. I though it would be interesting to post things you'd like to see in a headphone and perhaps post a product like it or close to it that's currently sold.    My must have features are (in random order):    1. collapses flat  2. comes with a hardshell case 3. detachable cable...

Hi all,   Up until now my adventure with headphones has been limited to IEMs. Started off with a pair of Shure's and upgraded about a year or so ago to Westone 4's, which I've loved every minute of. Now I'm looking for something to wear at work to block out noise but can take off and put on...

So I need to place an order on good closed-back over eared headphones tonight so I can get them by friday (With 1 day shipping). I listen to all types of music so a more versatile pair would be better. I don't want any recession in the mids, or too much bass. Also, imaging is very important to...

I am looking for some new headphones. I need them to be closed and will be using and iPod and cMoyBB to drive them. I listen mostly to Classic rock music. I would really like a good bass in addition to treble. Mids/Vocals are also really important to me. So Vocals and Bass are more important...

Ok I currently own a pair of Sony MDR1R cans, but auditioned my Asgard 2 in a store (yeah....go figure) wih the Momentum over ear cans and found them to sound quite nice. Would it be an upgrade of sorts to grab a pair of Momentum's to go along side my MDR1Rs or is the difference not worth the...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a pair of full-size headphones for recreational use. My budget is $300 max but I'm fine with cheaper. Genres of music I listen to: jazz, alternative rock, some rap. I'm playing the music from my phone exclusively but can consider an amp... I was considering...

Love my Denon D2000 but just to large for walking around town abd on the plane. Anything else I could buy? Say around $300

Hi! I want to ask for your opinion regarding the following BT Headphones/IEM. I'm choosing which headphone/IEM to buy with good features for my money. For IEMs Sony MW600 $47.50 -can use different earphone/speaker and good battery life JayBird Gear BlueBuds X $170 -expensive but they...

I am looking for a set of portable headphones and I need some help choosing. I like to listen to a lot of electro house, trance (emphasis on vocals and classical elements), dubstep, drum and bass, and occasionally some rap, r&b and pop.   I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 650 but these aren't...

I currently have the bose OE 2's but I want something with more sound quality. They need to be over ear and closed. Comfortability is a priority. I have a 300 dollar budget but I could go higher if there is a good deal. I will be listening mostly on my android phone with a beats audio chip. I...

I know there are loads of threads asking which headphone but........... I have a CLAS -db>ALO RX Mk3>Ipod Classic which I use mainly with my B & W P5's. I also have a pair of ACS T1 Lives which have gone back for adjustment a couple of times because I am not happy with sound - the soundstage is...

Hello everyone this is my first post.  I am a complete head-fi noob and for some reason at the young age of 31 I decided I wanted to start hearing music the way it ought to be heard ;)  Also, I own a web design company that requires me to work late and at times extreme concentration...  I am...

Can be $200-300 give or take I don't mind.    I mainly listen to Hip Hop, Rap, and Pop. So good bass is a plus. I have a pair of Beats Mixrs and while I think they sound great I am going into a career soon and I am getting older. I don't see myself wearing these around the office and I still...

Hi Everyone,    I've been looking for a good first pair of over-ear headphones, and I'm just wondering if anyone has some good suggestions. Here's basically what I'm looking for (sorry for my lack of experience, I'm pretty new to this.) They would be used with a laptop and iPod touch. Listed...

Thinking of adding these to the collection since I'm looking for another set of reasonably good closed headphones.    The UK & USA reviews I've read praise them highly.   What I want to know is - how is the clamping force?   If you recline slightly, do they fall towards the back of...

I am going to get a headphone next Monday. Budget around $350(retail price only pls). I prefer a closed headphone as I like privacy. This headphone will be usually used for gaming (FPS) and music (country, and some rock, and maybe K-POP)  I had checked quite a number of headphones, ie. M50...

Hey everyone! I've been looking around online and I'm debating what type of over ear headphones I should get. I have the Denon AH-NC800's and they are alright, but I'm looking for something new now. For a while I've been really looking at the B&W P5's, they look great, I went to the store to...

i was wondering if there is a headphone out there that is closed, but sounded like an open can ?

Ok so I know I'm asking a lot here but it would be great if you guys could help me out here. I'm looking for the best headphones that still do great without amps and I'm looking for isolation, great soundstage, comfort and being able to listen to them for awhile without getting annoyed and...
