Looking for my first headphones and my budget is around 80 bucks They need to be over ear closed and that dont fall off from ur head, i listen to a variety of music like linkin park but some pop r&b dubstep please any help will be appreciated

I've decided to grab the Sony MDR-1R, but the only version sold in the US is the black/red version and I've made a huge mistake of falling in love with the silver/brown one. Looks like there are plenty of eBay stores that carry them in Japan and Canada. What are everyone's thoughts on importing...

So guys, mind telling me why there isn't a Sony fan club? I'm pretty sure there are some sony fans out there, just wondering why I haven't seen one.  There seem to be ultrasone, grado, and fan clubs for specific phones though.    If you could tell me, thanks!

hey guys!   Just asking, ay suggestions on Sony headphones within  the $50-$150 price range? if so. thanks!

I have 1, uno, just a single $20 bill in my hand that I want to spend on portable headphones. This $20 limit is unbreakable. I study a lot at Starbucks and often times the music in the lobby is too loud and it distracts me even when I have my $10 Sony earbuds playing. My earbuds are overpowered...

Hi guys, I despertly need an help.  I'm looking for a budget headphones, 100 $ max (including amp if needed). I hear mostly classical music, mainly orchestral but some piano and vocal as well. In addition, it should have a fine isolation, since I listen to my music almost only in loudy...

Hi   I am a regular computer user. I have a sound blaster x-fi titanium HD sound card . I need advice on getting best optimal sound over the ear headphones. I am not very interested in bass or treble sounds . just general music listening, movies and english voice listening. Also I need...

I used to have my beloved headphones called AKG K840 KL However, after being let down by the lack of bass in those headphones, I decided to sell them. Now as I continue to pursue my enthusiasm for headphones, I miss the treble extension and the bright sparkly details in my old AKG cans...

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

hey everyone i think iv convinced my friend to step up his "audio set up" (five dollar ear buds) to some decent headphones! i hope that maybe this will introduce him into the audiophile world perhaps. iv been think of recommending him a mdr-v6 (mainly because that was my first decent headphone)...

I need to get new headphones, and could use some advice.  What I'm looking for are durable (most important part) on/over ear headphones with good sound quality that aren't too bass heavy.  I don't really care how good they look, in fact I'd prefer them to look plain, so there is a smaller chance...

Hi All,  I'm interested in your opinion about old Sony headphones in terms of their sound. Is the original CD900 purchaseable btw? I'm really interested in that 40 mm diamond coated diaphragm. I will choose a headphone in a couple of months and I would prefer Sony for the matter - but I need...

I've been looking for bass heavy headphones for a month and I need some help. I cant spend more then 100. I dont mind if the bass messes up the meds and highs. Thanks.

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...

They seem to be similar prices in amazon so i thought comparing the two was appropriate. I have owned the xb500s so i think i am a basshead. So i think that is one thing to consider, and also from owning the xb500 i am annoyed at how big it is so i am looking for something portable. 

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...

My maximum budget is $80, and I want some crisp and clear neutral sounding over-ear comfortable headphone with not TOO much bass, but still quite a lot of bass. They also shouldn't leak a lot. I want to have them on my head for 2 hours, and they shouldn't hurt my ears or head. I own a AKG K540...

I was just wondering how everyone became apart of Head-Fi! I was trying to find my first good over ear and i found this. I was a little confused with the terms being used but once my inventory grew i became for fond of this site and now know all the terms :) I am still a junior-audiophile...

So, I currently have the ATH-AD900x and really like them. However, I am looking for a good budget can that is closed for better isolation and bass.  I am not really focused on quantity of bass but more quality strong bass.    I am just starting my headphone collection and since I just bought...

After looking at some headphones (sub £150) I noticed something which is probably wrong but I thought I'd ask. On this forum and a few others, people seem to perpetually recommend the same headphones for years, I don't know why but speculate it is either because manufacturers aren't making newer...

Hi all,   A lot of discussion tends to ensue regarding the differences between the MDR-V6 and the MDR-7506 and the common answers based on part numbers between both models have been:   a) the outer earcups are embossed with either V6 w/ red "for digital" sticker, or 7506 w/ blue...

Seeing how I spent what I had on what I own now, the only thing left is to dream and speculate.   Exploring this really nice site (https://soundcloud.com/sonic-sense-pro-audio) I found that MDR V6 is among the best 100 dollar closed cans that reproduce all frequencies pretty much perfectly...

Hey there,   I have a pair of Sony MDR-V6s. My problem is this: when I put the minijack in my iPhone 4S or my Apple laptop, it doesn't get secured, and usually pops out about half a millimetre.   Now, I would normally think that there is a problem with the sockets in my iphone and laptop -...

The title says it all. I am an utter and complete novice when it comes to audiophilia (is that right?). My current set (http://goo.gl/Mk0AS Turtle Beach X12) is working fine, but I want something a little higher end, so I thought, If you want something done right, go to the pros. My budget is...
