First post, but long time lurker. I own a Fiio X1 and a pair of HIFIMAN RE-400s which I love,  but IEMs wear on my ears and I don't like wearing them for more then the length of Bachelor-level grocery shopping, so I'm looking for high quality portable, closed back headphones for longer listening...

All purpous closed-back headphones - music, gaming, voice chat. Portability is not a priority, but would be nice.     Looking for decent soundstage / instrument seperation. I know its hard to do on closed headphones, so thats why I'm only asking for decent. Want it to be mostly neutral...

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...

Alright my friends. For the last 3 weeks I have been spending at least two hours a day on here looking for the perfect portable over ear for me. I listen to indie, rock, hip hop, dubstep, some classical. Really a little of everything. I want something with more forward mids  and treble sparkle...

I Currently have the Sony MDR-7506 they sound great, but they are a little too bright for me - I like everything else about them, but the highs can get a little piercing and annoying if wearing them for a while.   Can anyone recommend a similar spec'd headphone with a more tamed treble?     ...

Hi there! First post and happy to be joining the community (my poor wallet though, I don't think it will ever forgive me for the decision).  I was wondering if I could get some help on deciding on a good set of closed headphones under $300.  I would love to get some open ones to fully enjoy the...

Summary   Pros: Soundstage, Beautiful Highs, Deep Bass   Cons: Neutral mids(not necessary a bad thing)   Read to know more!   Introduction   The Soundmagic HP100 sitting on top of the Matrix M-Stage Amp HPA-2(with USB DAC)     I had promised to review my Soundmagic HP100s (though I...

under Sound > Playback > Headphone > Advanced, should I change the default format? currently it's on 2 channel, 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality). I have soundmagic hp150.

What should I use to clean the outside cups of the headphones? I got the soundmagic hp150 and sometimes I flip the left cup backwards to hear if someone was screaming at me (isolation is pretty good), and the cup slowly develops this oily glimmer to it. Should I just use rubbing alchohol and...

If so, what did you use?  How did it work out for fit?  For sound?   Any help is appreciated.

Post your impressions about the Soundmagic HP150 in this topic!

Hi guys,   I'm interested if anyone tried both headphones and can provide a brief comparison based on experiences. Is Vento in any way an upgrade to the previous HP100/HP150 models?   Portability is not a big problem for me, I'd carry my HP150 anywhere although it seems rather too bassy for...

I've taken a look around all the old threads here asking kind of the same thing, but after reading them, am opening up my own thread anyways (because of price differences, new headphones released, etc.).   I'm looking for recommendations for non-leaking headphones for office use. We have an...

Browsing around this forum, I've heard lots and lots of great things about the Sennheiser MOMENTUM. When my old headphones (A pair of Gemini HSR-1000 studio reference 'phones), which I loved dearly, developed a major rattling and significant lack of bass in the left ear, I was very, very sad...
