Hello all. I have been reading for days on this site and I am really struggling with a new purchase. I have owned a pair on cheap Sennheisers (can’t find them at the moment), a pair of Bose AE2 and a pair of B&W P3. I returned the Bose and bought the B&W P3 and then returned the P3s as I just...

I'm a man and i need help. i have been looking for a new pair of headphones and the most i will spend is $300 USD. i want to know which is better for home use open or closed headphones? btw my house is silent 95% of the time so.... yeah. i have these sony mdr-xb500 and they make my ears sweat...

Hello All,   I've been searching for audio equipment for a few months and hot damn is it hard to pinpoint what you really want so I've decided to make a thread.   I'm looking for two pairs of headphone, one for studio production uses and and one pair for general listening purposes.  ...

Hi everyone first let me say that I am a total beginner when it comes to headphones and audio. I have been reading many forum posts about good headphones and have a list of a few I really like. My first question is about sound cards, I will be using supreme iv at the moment for audio,(the...

Hi, I am new. I am looking for a pair of high quality headphones that have exceptional mids and highs, but also have good sounding bass.  I have heard that the Sennheiser hd 558 are very good with mids and highs, but lack bass.  I listen to all kinds of music, but mostly metal, rap, and rock.  I...

I can afford, own the MA900 and x2 at the minute. Happy to buy a AMP if needed :)

Some might say the HD800 ring radiator, others will sight the new orpho drivers. I am not sure, noise cancelling or wireless come to mind or maybe how Sony managed to make a 70mm driver sound good in the MA900. Anyway , whats your take?

So, I have said it. Who agrees? Nowadays you can get yourself a pair of headphones for very cheap.  For 150-200 US Dollar, think of Audio Technica A900X, AKG K550, Sony MA900 you can get a pair which sounds very very good and it would cost you at least 15 times the budget when you want this...

^ That says it all.

Which setup would sound better? - High end headphone + mid DAC / amp - mid-fi headphone + high end DAC / amp

I'm just curious to hear if any of you guys have bought a headphone more than once, after selling the original purchase. I'm also curious about what caused the re-buy.   For me, I really wanted to like the HifiMAN 400. Bought it, was disappointed, sold it, then a few months later, figured I...

Hi there,   I'm beginning to think I may need to take a step up to the higher end of the headphone world.  I would appreciate any help or opinions from experienced head-fiers.  I have loved my journey so far and have amassed quite a number of headphones over the last few years, many you can...

I've had my HD650s for a couple of years and I love them, they're sound signature is beautiful, however I'm finding their performance lacking in faster, more complicated music. For slow music, or music with less treble and fewer instruments they are amazing; smooth, laid back, and non fatiguing...

Hey guys I was wondering if there are any decent headphones that I can wear while wearing glasses?  These over ear headphones seem like they might not work.  My brother has some kind of over ear AKG's that were 150 or so but they don't work with glasses. I am looking for headphones for general...

Or in other words, a comparison of the main cans I currently happen to have around   But no, in all seriousness, I've gotten a few questions recently about various cans, and since I just got the DT 150 in this past week I figured now would be a good time to do a bit of a writeup.   All...

I'll keep this short as I don't have too much to say. A friend of mine bought the DT880 250 ohm (premium) and I decided to spend an hour listening to all three headphones, out of my Sansa Clip+ and Schiit Magni (I'd have used my modi, but I didn't have a laptop/computer at the time).  The...

HI,     Any recommendations for the "coolest" on-ear or over-ear headphones?  The Sennheiser, AKG, and Beyer's I have all have thick earmuff pads that get really warm.  Anything, well, cooler?

How do these two compare for someone that has done A/B testing with both?   Which one is more recommended for gaming, for movies, and for music?   EDIT:   Also for all intensive purposes:   Gaming - FPS Movies - Popular "Hollywood" movies Music - Lindsey Stirling, Celine Dion...

Sony MA-900 + Astro Mixamp pro 2013   Wondering if I have reached the outer limits of gaming via headphones.   I have just bought a Yamaha A1030 Av receiver so not sure if maybe I should add that in to the mix somewhere?   I game with my PC + xbox one + Wii U - All though cant see to get...

All suggestions welcome guys :)

Well I've owned the sennheiser 280s for almost a year now and think I've finally started to outgrow them. I'm starting to notice a difference when I try nicer friends headphones. I mainly listen to indy and country, but what I really look for is the vocal clarity and instrumental clarity. From...

Hi guys,   Im looking for a closed back full size headphone for daily use 6-8 hours   I use it mostly at the office so prefer a close back headphone, avoid disturbing others...And since for such long term listening I put comfort and light weight first. velour pad or fiber pad would be the...

I don't think anyone's brought this up before, but I feel like a different set of earpads would be nice on the MA900, velour perhaps. I've worn the DT880 and their earpads are very nice feeling. Leather, pleather and other isolating-type pads are a big no for the MA900 as they muddle up the...
