I'm gonna be selling my Audiotechnica ATH-M50's so I can upgrade. They've only been on my head twice and in great condition with box and everything. Special deal for GAF, $100 shipped if anyone's interested.

Sorry for the late reply. My personal fave would be the BLOX M2C at the moment. The really get me going. From other people's suggestions comes the Yuin Pk2. That one I'll have to try at a later pointDeadly Cyclone said:

Just bought some Shure SRH440 for $55. Mistake? It seems to have very good reviews for the price range.

Thoughts on either of these pairs? They've been in my Amazon wish list for a while:

For the price I'm sure you will love them. Shure makes rock solid equipment. Their cans seem to accentuate the mids and highs more than the low end, so if you listen to a lot of bass heavy music you might find them lacking. They are also a bit large so they really aren't ideal for public use, but overall they are great closed cans and will last you a long time. If you can get a hold of the ear pads for the 840's for a good price I would recommend it. They are a bit more comfortable during extended use.

Gonna play BF3 on the PC and I'm looking for a set of headphones that are of reasonable quality at an affordable price (under $100). Any suggestions? And what about clip-on/desktop mics?

I'd personally swing for a pair of Blox M2C. Probably the best bang for the buck buds. $47 shipped from Blox's site. Read some reviews at headfi for sound impressions. Just be wary of the burn-in claims though, I have no experience with the matter but apparently they aren't great out of the box but mature a lot with use.Tenks said:
I can't seem to find a good answer anywhere for this so I'm hoping you guys can help me. I'm looking for headphones or earphones or neckbands that have the following qualities:
- Look Stylish
- Decent mids and highs
- Won't mess up spikey hair
- Have iphone/ipod controls on the cable with a mic (this is an important one for Siri)
If you guys can help me with a suggestion, it would be much appreciated! Only thing close I could find is Beats Solo HD (love white colour) but their build quality is apparently horrible so won't be getting those. Price isn't a factor.

Perfect timing on this thread being on the front page, as I'm in the market for a new set of headphones, but I'm not sure which direction to go. I essentially am looking for something that are great for travel. Lightweight, folding, very comfortable to wear for extended periods, and great sound of course. I'd actually prefer they not be noise canceling as I think a good pair of cans can provide nice isolation on their own.
Any recommendations? The biggest thing that I'm struggling with is the comfort, as I only have a limited number of pairs available locally to test out, and I'm looking at all the options on Amazon, but can't tell how comfortable they'll be on. For reference, I think the Bose Triport/AE2 are very comfortable.

Looking for Walkman type headphones under $100. I have been looking at the AIAIAI Tracks, but I am not really sure if they actually have good sound quality from reviews. I need comfortable, lightweight, and a decent sound quality because I wear them for long periods. I have the PortaPro's but they hurt my ears. Any suggestions?
Needed some new over ear headphones with isolation to wear at work, so after a night of reading I have a Fiio E11 and Audio-Technica M50S combo on the way from Amazon!
I figured I best get an amp since I use my EVO 3D for music, and i doubt it'd do the M50's justice.
Got a Q though, when using the amp, what volume level should I set my EVO 3D to? Low, high, mid? Amps are new to me!

If you're using PowerAMP 1.4, make SURE you turn off Tone in the EQ, it drops the volume down a ton with it on. I hit it out of curiosity once since I started going with Flat EQ and it was like night and day.Ashhong said:Turned up the bass booster in poweramp on my Android phone and that coupled with 2+ bass boost on my E11 has FINALLY given me enough bass in my M50 for me to be satisfied
Dear Gaf, Already made a thread for this with a link to this thread, so I'll ask here.
My pair of 149.99 Bose Headphones (whatever model that is) just broke and I'd like to replace them. Now I didn't choose Bose to begin with, they were given to me. But I'd like something in a similar price range (100-200) and with a comparable sound quality, hopefully better.
What should I be looking at with those qualifications?

Basically from what i've heard bose are horribly overpriced, so you should be able to get similar or better sound for a lower price. Would be good if you at least mentioned though what kind of headphones they are, like on-ear, over-ear etc.

Ok. sold my M50's. Now I'm looking for a good Gaming Headset for the PC. I've been looking at the SteelSeries Siberia V2. They look good, are over ear, fake leather pads, mic can be hidden.
Looking for something that can be used with 3.5mm jack. Something with a mic. Not USB if possible.
Anyone have any suggestions no more than $100?

I bought them for the wrong purpose is all. I should have bought something with an attached mic since I was gonna use them for gaming mostly.
I am in the market for some good IE headphones with a mic, so I decided to check out head-fi.org, only to find some of the most pretentious bullshit I've ever seen. They basically bitch about and shit on just about every set of headphones on the site. Definitely not asking for advice there.
I bought some TMA-1's about 6 months ago and I love them, but I need some IE phones for when the TMA's aren't practical. I also need a mic. I was looking at some stuff like the aiaiai Swirl or possibly the new Bowers & Wilkins C5's. I really like the overall feel of the aiaiai's, with their solid construction and great, warm sound, and would like something close to them as far as the build and sound go. That's why I was looking at the Swirl's. I am looking to spend under $200, with about $180 being the limit (the price of the B&W's). Any advice?

Damnit, the AiAiAi TMA-1s are the cheapest they've ever been on Amazon UK but I still can't really afford them now. Woe is me.
