Hello,   I am currently using a set of Bose QC3's but I would like to upgrade to a nicer pair of headphones. I have done quite a bit of research and I know that I will be needing a closed pair as I will be around other people while using the headphones. My budget is ~150 to 300. I am looking...

I am currently looking for new headphones. I am currently using a creative fatal1ty mk2 headset. It's ok for listening to music, but not for thoroughly enjoying and feeling music. Before this I used a sennheiser HD205 which I just can't wear, as they start hurting really bad after about a...

  Hi everyone,   Here’s my first attempt to write about headphones that I have purchased for my personal evaluation purposes. It is not the first time I am comparing headphones, but on previous occasions I kept my findings to myself. While I am not a frequent visitor of Head-Fi, I...

i am looking for headphones for dubstep and electronica and i am considering the   Ultrasone HFI-580 Denon AH-D2000 XB500,700,1000 Ultrasone PRO 900 Denon D1100 SRH750DJ Ultrasone HFI-680   price range from 100 to 300    

I have been lurking around these forums for a bit and doing so has resparked an interest in headphone listening. Thanks to all for the information.   My reason for posting is this... I have a set of Stax SR Lamba headphones with the SRD-6SB adapter and extension cable in mint condition. I've...

  Hello everyone!   I am a long time reader and new audiophile let me tell you a little about my journey   Initially I cared very little about sound reproduction and clarity and mainly used ipod headphones and cheap sony headphones. I did not have a music collection and mainly played...

Only places I found them so far are amazon DE/FR but they're expensive (150 euros). Is this really the normal price in Europe or are they overpriced compared to other stores..? And of course since I live in Luxembourg of all places, no stores in the country carry them...

I have a pair of Ultrasone pro900 for home use. I would like to get a headphone for travel. I have used the pro900 for travel in the past and they are a tad too big and heavy.     I would like to stick with Ultrasone. I am curious if the HFI 780, 680, or 580's would provide a more...

My main music genres are aggressive/fast/upbeat styles of Electronica/Electro House/Dance/Progressive Trance/Drum n Bass & the occasional Hard Rock/Metal & HipHop.   I want to be taken away in the music like in the club.   Just a little background: DT990:  The sound quality was good...

Hi, I am new to the forums here so please don't destroy me xD Anyhoos, I was looking for some good recommendations for closed circumaural headphones that are better than the sennheiser hd 280's for between $100-200.   My headphones will mostly be used for listening to music casually...

Well, from my searching there has not been an official "fan" thread for Ultrasone.  A huge "There's Something About Ultrasone" thread that was started by dexdexter almost five years ago (I have read that entire thread through the years), is the closest.    There's various specific Ultrasone...

There is a lotta love at Head-Fi for the Pro(line) 750 (and some other sentiments as well ) and the HFI780 (whether recabled or stock), but the HFI680 seems to be completely unknown. The fact that the American Ultrasone distributor choose not to distribute the HFI680 is probably largely to blame...

Please help me choose which of the three will suit me best.  I listen to mostly electronic and alternative music with some rap/hip hop.  I read that the bass on all three is pretty good so that shouldn't be an issue.  Mids are also pretty important to me as I like to hear vocals clearly without...

hey i have decided i will probably buy some ultrasone headphones, i dont consider myself a basshead but i do like bass and thump in some cans, i have narrowed it down to either the:   Ultrasone   HFI 780 PRO 550 HFI 2400 HFI 680 DJ1 PRO   I would be mainly listening to DNB...

This is my first post, so please bear with me. I listen mostly to dubstep, not skrillex type stuff, more like benga (look him up). I previously owned Grado sr60's and loved them, but when I started listening to dubstep the lack of bass began to be a problem. After a bit of research Ultrasone...

So I recently came across an awesome deal for HFI-700's from someone in the area. Should I go for it or are headphones like the HFI-580's/680's major improvements?   What I'm looking for is: good hard-hitting bass, good mids (don't want recessed mids), good non-fatiguing highs. Basically an...

So I listen to a lot of Hip Hop and Rap on my Ipod 3g. My price range is preferably $200 or under, the more bang for the buck, the better! I've done quite a bit of research recently and have narrowed my search to the following headphones.. Please tell me which you think is best (or the worst)...

well....my title says it all, e.g. for the Senn HD515, cheapest on eBay is 85 AUD but on Amazon 50 USD (about 45 AUD thanks to the strong Aussie $)

Hi Everybody.  Here's my situation.  I've lost (stolen?) my Grado SR80i headphones.  I want to replace them (probably with the Alessandro MS1 (2009).  I'm in Canada, and the SR80i cost $180 up here.  The MS1 is $99 including shipping.  No brainer, right?   Well, I have a problem or two with...

Hello guys! Just wanted to ask another quick question. Detailed answers would be nice :). Any who, question is which of these two would be better for my genre? (same old question but just between these two). I listen to screamo/deathcore. I do listen to some rap and pop and stuff but I am not a...

Thanks to this site my first pair of decent on ear headphones I put on my head were JVC RX700's, and my first pair of actually good headphones were Shure 840's. I love the 840's and they've made it really hard to listen to the 700's anymore, but there's still a couple of things I miss about...

hi guys,   I currently own a pair of Sennheiser hd555 and use it with Asus Xonar DX and ipod Video 5g. Well, to give you some background info, I listen to rock (mainly), hard-rock, and some punk-rock - examples: The Cure, U2, Pink Floyd, Rise Against, The Offspring, A.F.I, the smashing...

I currently own a pair of ATH-m50 and i like the quality of bass but dont feel that they have enough power in them. I listen to songs on my ipod with a Fiio E5. I like my songs to have a lot of bass, and bass wise I thought that the MDRXB500 has the perfect amount of bass for me, but...

Hi! I am new to this audio thing. I need help in choosing my first headphone. I have lurked here for quite some time and searched threads of the same topic but I did not find one. Basically, I am going to use it as my transportable headphone (used in an office setting as I want to isolate myself...

okay here is the case... I have an Ultrasone HFI680 and I liked it, until my dad bought me a cheap and low quality headphone. That cheap headphone in terms of audio quality is absolutely inferior to the HFI680, but there are some aspects in the initial sound character of this headphone that I...
