HEADPHONES!!!!

[Erik]

AKG yes, and Beyer Dynamic and Sennheiser, if you buy phonez from any of these companies for about $100 you're not going to go wrong, pretty much...

 

[Krilons Resa]

Okay, its between AKG, Sennheiser, and maybe Grado. Thanks for the responses so far. Ya'll rule.

 

[futile]

Sennheiser.

 

[Chromatose]

I've never gotten a chance to try out grado's, but yes the Sennheisers do seem to be universally loved, and if you're looking for under $100....

Sennheiser 280 pro

they are fantastic.

 

[Krilons Resa]

SHould I opt for an "open" style though? Since they are supposed to sound a lot better than the "closed" style?

 

[Chromatose]

its really up to you, what style you prefer. as posted earlier in the thread, http://headphone.com/ , this site was incredibly helpful for me when I was learning about headphones, its helped me narrow down exactly what i was looking for.

edit: also depending on the surroundings, open style- the sound bleeds out, so better sound yes, but at the expense of privacy

 

[Krilons Resa]

Just bid on some HD280's...hopefully I can get em for $85.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Well, I just won, with shipping it comes out to 86 beaners.

Good old MDR-V150s, best cheap headphones EVER. Great frequency response for the price, although the lows are a bit iffy.

yep. thems the ones. good cheap phones. wouldnt know what i was hearing with anything more expensive.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I want a decent compact set for gym going, a bulky pair of Sennheiser HD280s is much too cumbersome. I'm currently using a set of Sony clip on's, which are durable as fuck, but due to the way they are placed on the ear, much of the sound escapes, as there's no pressure keeping it firmly pressed on the lobe.

Heh, probably going with a pair of Sennheiser PX100 IIs. Stay Tuned...


Dorian, did you ever make that purchase?

 

[Krilons Resa]

I know this has been brought up before but there is no search function here at good 'ol UM, soooo.... I am in the market, once again, for a good pair of headphones. The MOST I will pay is $100, on the extreme end. I want some amazing sound quality; rumbling lows and clear highs. Any savants in the topic have any input???

 

[Krilons Resa]

IEM phones? get these at the same pricepoint bruh: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=visang+r03&_sacat=0&_odkw=visang+r02&_osacat=0

Also, peruse this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/mul...-eph-100-monster-miles-davis-trumpet-06-19-12

 

[lurch70]

that was rational Ken

 

[Reign in Acai]

Looking for OTE, not IEM, LMNOP


Very close to purchasing the Senn PX100 IIs

New version of these

The newer ver. seems to be a decent upgrade, yet people still bitch and give negative feedback. Dipshits.

 

[Krilons Resa]

LOL@ Lurch

Why the heck would you want an OTE style for the gym???
