I have narrowed down my search for new headphones to some Ultrasones and Grados. I have a $200 budget and I know that some of these go over but I have been able to find them for cheaper prices. These are the headphones I am thinking about: Ultrasone Pro 2500 and HFI-780 or 580. I also am...

Okay, I've never purchased a pair of headphones that cost over $20 before. I have used quite a lot of headphones in my time however, and I know that the full-size headphones that cover your entire ear is what I want. I think it's called circumaural? Like I said, I'm new to this. I want this...

Hi,   Apologies for yet another thread by someone new asking for consumer advice. I'm finding it hard to make decissions.   I'm in the market for some circumaural headphones (up to £200) and a portable amp. I listen to music all day at work in a busy office mostly from a HTC mobile...

Good day!   I've got right now Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 i totally love it, they are so light that i even sometimes forget about them.   I want to make a little upgrade of them for more quality headphones but not more then 200$   Needs are the same: gamin' Call of Duty MW3 on Creative...

The following table is based on measurements, not manufacturer specs.   Target SPL is 110 dB SPL. The source is assumed to output 2 V. The amp is assumed to be a voltage source (0 ohm output impedance). Voltage, current, power are RMS figures.   What do the columns mean? S@1V is the...

Hey guys... I am in the market for a new set of headphones.  I am using the X-Fi Titanium HD and I mostly play games.  I am looking at the Beyerdynamic DT770's.  I like the headphones to be closed so I can drown out all outside sound and get lost in my games.  I am seeing that there is a 250ohm...

I'm looking for some advice on a pair of headphones around 300$ or less.  I will primarily use them at my desk at work (software dev). The people in the adjacent cubes aren't cool with playing music over the jambox or laptop speakers so I'm not entirely sure a pair of open/semi open would fit...

Huge Grado fan here, but the Grado's are too flimsy for their owner (these are for a younger girl). Any recommendations before her non-head-fi dad buys her some Beats by Dre's lol. Best on-ear/over-ear headphones for $100-$150. 

Hello and greetings HeadFi, I am here today trying to decide what new cans to get and could use some help. I am trying to find something around 150-200 dollar range that's over-ear closed back.

Just wanted to signal that I have finished a modification of the new Ultrasone HFI-780 headphones and am pretty excited to report that the modded headphones are outstanding. Well given that unmodded they are wonderful, the mod just takes them to another level, more on that later. I should be...

Hello everyone on Head-Fi! I'm new to this forums and I really enjoy music. (sounds atrocious, doesn't it)   I own  AKG 518 LE headphones but i am not satisfied at all... (my wire broke 3 times..., fortunately my father could fix this)   Now i want to buy new ones but my price range is...

Hi there! Here just recently, a friend of mine got a pair of Beats headphones, and let me listen to them - and they sounded amazing, compared to the $5-$10 earbuds I usually wear... So this kicked a fire under my keester, I want to get a better sounding headphone. But I don't want a cheap piece...

I want to buy a headphone within the range of 100-150$ with mic. If it is without mic, no problem also. Need sugestions

This may sound like an oxymoron, but are there any open headphones that are great for EDM? I also listen to rock, classical, ambient (chillout, post-rock), but I would like these headphones to excel at Electronic Dance Music. For example, I would love for these headphones to accurately reproduce...

What would you say is the most comfortable, best sounding portable headphones for 150 dollars or less? 200? Would prefer over ear.  I have been looking at a lot of headphones around that price range but many do not get good reviews for comfort.    1. Ultrasone Hfi 580, 780 and pro 550  2...

I've been doing obsessive research on what headphones might be right for me, for I travel quite a bit. Both of these headphones fit most of my criteria so I was wondering what one you would suggest (feel free to suggest others too). I listen to pretty much everything that is between classical to...

Which do you think is better? First off, I am going to be using these headphones in college in a dormitory, so there might be some noise issues, and also i might use these in public where I do not want other people to hear my music... But I am a music nut and want the highest possible audio...

Hey guys- Does anyone know where I can buy replacement earpads(pleather or, hopefully, velour) for my ultrasone hfi-780? I looked on Ultrasone's site, but it only has pleather pads for the pro 550 and pro 650. Does anyone know if these will work on the HFI-780? Thanks in advance.

I need budget priced headphones so i came down to these two.
