Hello everyone,   I am new to the audio world, and I'm trying to get my head around all these terms and things that keep popping up through my readings. I recently picked up some Sony MDR-7506 Professional headphones and they're great, a much better improvement in sound from my computer...

Hey head-fi,   Threads about the 7506's have been posted in the millions on the internet, but I still have questions about my first set up. I'll say what I need and for what purposes.    1) I bought the MDR-7506 on December 22nd, and so far they have been spectacular, at least to my...

Total noob when it comes to headphones here. I have Behringer HPS3000 but they are uncomfortable (too much clamping force I think)   Any thoughts on good / comfy full size headphones for around $100ish ?    How about the Klipsch ones ? (My Klipsch Reference II hifi system is amazing but...

Hey gang, like I mentioned in another recent thread, I'm just making the switch over from being a 2 channel stereo guy to headphones. I thought I'd be much easier to please with headphones, but that is proving to not be the case. I'm finding huge faults with the 3 pairs of headphones I've tried...

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...

Hi everyone   Ive purchased a pair of Sony MDR-7506 Headphones to use with a DSS2 attached to PS3. My main aim was to watch blurays and replace my game headset.   I thought I had researched everything, but forgot that most bluray movies use DTS (DSS2 doesn't support DTS).   I have the DSS2...

Hi all, I was going to ask this in a studio related forum but thought you guys are more headphone knowledgeable and this applies to every full size heaphone, I suppose. After just about 3 years my Sony MDR-7506's earpads completely peeled off. Looking around the seems to be many reports on this...

I'm in the market to get a properly decent, yet reasonably-priced, pair of headphones right now, as my mediocre Sony MDR-NC22s are about to kick the bucket. After trying an MDR-V6 at a Sony outlet store, I fell in love with the set for its price, since it seems to outperform absolutely any pair...

I'd like that slight boost in the mid-range with a flattish curve from the low-mids to the lows, I can take or leave exaggerated highs.

Hi Everyone,   I am working on my next custom Grado build, and thought it might be nice to gather all of the Grado headband alternatives out there in a single thread (mods, please let me know if this needs to move to the DIY forum, or somewhere like that). So without further ado, I have the...

This is my first attempt at thinking about getting amp/dac for a headphone.  My source will be primarily be my laptop through usb.   I hear/read that these headphones can sound more "smooth" and "transparent" when you give it more juice... not just to further increase volume but also refine...

I've been searching many hours for top notch Monitor headphones for around $100. I've narrowed it down to 3 models:   Audio Technica ATH-M50 ~$100 Sony MDR-7506 ~ $90 Sennheiser HD 280 ~$70   I've heard really good things about all of them, and am very torn on which ones should come...

Anyone have experience with both of these headphones?   Besides the obvious open vs closed design, which is a better overall headphone?   My Priorities are as follows.   Flat Response Clarity Tight Bass (Not Boomy) Sound Stage   I listen to mostly Rock and Trance.  My...

First off let me say hello to the community, I've been an unregistered member here for a few years (reading posts, comparing information, but never registered to post) and have often come here for recommendations, opinions, tips, and just misc reviews. I realize that someone has a similar post...

  Hello everyone! It's my first post and I'm sorry to give you another "is this fake?" thread. But since my results are inconclusive, I need help from you guys. I'm a musician (bass player) and I love high quality audio, but don't have many equipment. I own a UE Triple.fi for two years...

Hello,    I've been browsing the forum and I thought someone might be able to give me some advice.   I'm looking for a set of headphones for around £80 ($100) for use on my daily commute to work.  I'm probably looking for over-ear rather than in ear due to personal comfort preference...

I am not looking for anything crazy perfect, I just want to enjoy movies.   I did a research here and on other websites and this is my list:   Under $50:   Audio-Technica ATH-M30: http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/7041339ec2fdcc12/index.html   Sennheiser HD...

I'm currently using my D7000's at work and they are not working out too well. First of all, I'm always scared to scratch the wood and then the FiiO E7 doesn't really make them sound so well.    My company just started to offer $100 grant to get any headphone so I need your expert advice. I...

On amazon the streets are only $100 and they are $250 retail and the sonys are only $80. I want a very balanced headphone but I wouldn't mind the extra bass. Which is a better buy.

I work in a recording studio and we use loudspeakers exclusively to master music. I want a popular reference headphone to listen to my masters for observation purposes. I don't think it's really a good idea to exclusively mix on headphones; so these headphones are to compliment the speakers and...

Good afternoon, My first post, so treat me gently please ... had enough derision for some of the choices I've made!  ;) Okay, here's the score. I'm looking for a set of closed-back headphones to listen to FLAC and MP3 files on my Samsung Galaxy Note (I'm correct in saying that external...

Hi, I'm in the market for some headphones..hope I've come to the right place ;). My needs.. 1. Want to use mostly at home with my yamaha motif es keyboard. 2. Will take with me to gigs to practice and warm up before a gig. 3. May use them live if I can't hear myself. I don't want a...

Welcome, fellow headphone wearer.   My headphones keep breaking.   What kind of over-ear headphones will get me the best durability? My budget is $100, but I would, of course, prefer a serviceable product below $50. From what I have read and worn, Bose, Skullcandy, Zalman...

  Okay, so, I'm new to all this.  I do not even own a pair of headphones, just the Yurbuds earphones.  I listen to mostly rap, so, I love bass.  I also listen to a rock band named Skillet, and even some mellow stuff like Sigur Ros and Explosions In The Sky.  I really want a headphone that...

I have owned a few pair of over the ear head phone over the year, but I don't really see the difference between over and on the ear. Over the ear seam to be slightly larger than on the ear, but they are still not completly over. I have a pair of ear protection and they are really over the ear...
