Which is better, XB500 or HTF-600? I'll use them for gaming and music (drum & bass, rock, chiptunes, and anything in between)
I just parted with a lump of change for the Xonar STX, first impressions coming sometime this week when it arrives.

Protip: Never buy Razer headphones. I used a pair and they made the ridges of cartilage around the outside of my ear swell up and scab a bit. I have stuck some plasters on my ear as remedial action.
Mom got me some fatal1ty headphones for Christmas. I just came from a 10$ Logitech headset so I can't really compare it to anything. But it does sound good, shit mic though.

My CX300-IIs have broken for the third time and I'm sick of them personally. Less then a year since purchase and gone through three pairs of them. Looking at getting some good IEMs and since I quite enjoy reading this thread, thought I'd ask you guys before I do some research. Budget:about 100 Euros (The Less the Better) eBay: Yeah, why not. Country: Ireland Isolation: Yes, but IEMs generally do that anyways. I'll be using them during my commute on a train and bus every morning. Purpose: Mainly just Music from an iPod or Computer. Music Tastes: Pretty wide spectrum in music tastes, I listen to lots of Rock Music but also Hip-Hop and Pop stuff. But also a lot of Electronic. Previous Experiences: CX300-II is the headphones I've used the most, currently ordered an Audio Technica Ath m50 for Christmas but haven't used them yet. Comments: I'll be using a fiio e5 with them. If they're durable and have a decent warranty that would equally be amazing.
since a lot of these questions could be answered much easier [url]http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/multi-iem-review-208-iems-compared-clear-tune-monitors-ctm-200-added-12-10-11[/url] [url]http://www.head-fi.org/t/433318/shootout-96-portable-headphones-reviewed-v-moda-m-80-added-11-27-11[/url] I don't know which amazon site to look at so [url]http://www.amazon.de/Etymotic-ER7-MC5-BLACK-MC5-In-Ear-Ohrh%C3%B6rer-schwarz/dp/B003S3RFIQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323918102&sr=8-1[/url] @ir1sh
Also, One question, How are klipsch head phones? And what about speakers? I've got good feelings for them because we have had klipsch equipment in the past and I loved them
[QUOTE=zarthalan;33729125]Also, One question, How are klipsch head phones? And what about speakers? I've got good feelings for them because we have had klipsch equipment in the past and I loved them[/QUOTE]They're great. I've only ever owned some tower speakers from them, and they sounded nice. I mean typically with any brand (excluding Bose), they have very nice lines and very shitty lines. It just depends on the model that you buy.
The FiiO E9 arrived sooner than expected. Gonna try it later when I got time. [editline]15th December 2011[/editline] Damn I was stupid. I didn't remember our AC plug is different than in the UK. I had to buy an adapter. [editline]15th December 2011[/editline] EAR-FUCKING-GASM WOW Amazing.
I need new headphones for gaming/music. I don't own an amp. Price range: pretty much everything under 100€ A good mic is preferred.
I love my goddamn earbuds got some $70 Sennheisers from Best Buy like 6 months ago they rule, nuff said
My JVC marshmellows are doing great, I love them so much :D
I just don't like earbuds, It may just be from my experience. But the last ones hurt to wear, I bought new ones with the plastic cap things and they don't stick in my ears they just wiggle their way out.
Need some good headphones, priced between 100euro - 150euro. MICROPHONE TOO! Can't order from newegg or any place.. So some headphones that you'd expect to find in a Finnish hardware stores :v:

[QUOTE=TehWhale;33741735]ATH-M50(s) + Zalmann Clip-on[/QUOTE] Sorry, please have the microphone built in. THanks for fast contribution but this is not for me :v:

I don't really understand the mass amount of autism in this thread. Bat-shit: Get the ATH-M50s and just buy the Zalman clip-on. The only reason this is suggested is because typically most of the headphones that have the microphone attached are of inferior quality for the price. So, unless you want a terrible headset, just get the ATH-M50s, they are better than any headset you can buy.

I mean I dunno, could get the G35 or the fatal1ty or whatever, but they are pretty average sounding for the price.
