Sony MDR-7506 are VERY good for the money ($100) http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR7506-Professional-Diaphragm-Headphone/dp/B000AJIF4E They are quality made, and very comfortable if you have a goon sized head. Also agree with the Audio Technica's. Both Headphones sound better and more accurate than beats.

For cheap wired headphones I like akg 240s because they are very low impedance and play on everything, comfortable as hell, and only 70 so you can pick up a cheap fiio amp and keep it all under 100.

Kuato posted:I bought those overpriced $299 cool looking black and red studio beats, aside from listening to them once they've sat in their case unused for several months. I just ordered a pair of Sennheiser HD-280 pros and a fiio e6 to drive the fuckers. Ended up costing less than $60 for both since the cans were used. That's my headphone story, thanks for reading.

if we could talk speakers for a sec I've had these Klipsch brand speakers for like 100 years now (more like 10) and they are working more or less, though less when it comes to the volume control knobby cutting out the sound now and then. Anyone recommend a low profile sound setup, not really looking for a 5.1 Megan Trainer floor fucker

tetsuo posted:I said don't wear them on the bus! their ears will thank me later. that's a phenomenal price. tbh im a little salty that they are that cheap because I own a pair and I had been thinking about selling them but that price drop means I'd be lucky to get $150 for them They're sweet but they need a decent DAC/amp to shine. Not worht the trouble IMO, just get some headphones from $50-100 and forget about the rest

Just take your phone (or iPod or whatever) to a store and try out a bunch of different brands/styles. Buy the ones that are the most comfortable and sound the best to you, either there in the store or online if you can find a better price. It's really not that difficult, and this way you know you'll be happy with whatever you end up buying since you actually did a little research before plunking down your hard earned cash.

The specs that show the range of frequencies that the headphones can reproduce along with how well they can do so. the future is WOW fucked around with this message at 03:08 on May 15, 2015 |

fourthing audiotechnica (bang for buck). I have "ATH-ANC7b" They are killa for plane travel. Note exact model number, I think they brought out a newer one that is apparently shite. You can also be a stick-it-to-the-man hipster. Bose sued them over these because "they could not be this good without copying one of our patents".

I won a pair of Beats Solo 2s a while back and decided to give them a listen instead of selling them on in a sealed box. They're ok, not particularly great, certainly not worth the £170 they sell for in stores. I bought a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770s a month or so ago for £110 and they're pretty dang great sounding, far better than Beats. Here ends my review of Beats Solo 2s.

lol the reviews on headphones are hilarious, those people sound gay as gently caressquote:As a lover of classical music I am a confirmed headphone listener. No set of speakers will offer the same amount of detail, most living rooms will add acoustic distortions, and many of us are not lucky enough to be able to play Mahler or Shostakovich at full power on a daily basis without getting into trouble with the neighbours. hahaha yeah i always piss off the neighbs with mahler and shostawhatever heres the entire loving review for anybody dumb enough to want to read it quote:As a lover of classical music I am a confirmed headphone listener.

audiophiles are some of the most ridiculous people. that being said, i spend money on nice enough stereo equipment because i want to hEAR it but otoh i don't have special acoustic carpeting in my house or $100 cables. i like grado headphones. you wouldnt want to wear them out in public though. just get some nice in ears for public use. i forget what the good brands are but they shouldnt be hard to research.

Having an amp for your headphones is kind of a necessity for home listening. even if you just run them through a spare receiver you have lying around its better than nothing. Hooked straight up to my laptop my headphones sound only half as good.

A misanthrope posted:dang it i think you just pushed me off the fence. i'm buying. Yeah, it does up the game for any pair of headphones significantly. The fiio e6 is great for only 30, its very small and you can recharge it while using it. No replaceable battery though. I used mine until the battery completely died. I moved up to an e12 and while it does work better it cant charge and play at the same time. At least it runs on a fairly easy to find nokia battery. opus111 posted:if you're running off a laptop aren't you better going through an external sound card?

I have the Audeze LCD-3 and if I don't want to wear something big, Ultimate Ears PRMs. The PRMs were a little annoying because they have to be custom made to fit your ears. Either are a good choice though.
