Headphones

[dingoBaby]

I love listening to music with headphones. Right now I have a pair of Sony MDR-7506. They are old and battered, having been dropped, thrown, stepped on, and slammed around in my bag.

I would like to get a new pair and I am looking for some recommendations in the $150-200 USD range.

Not expensive taste, really. I just want something nice.


I met a guy once who had a $5000 pair of custom made headphones, with his own custom made, portable pre amp. Thats expensive taste.

B) right now i've got the Sony MDR-V300 headphones

maybe my head is really screwed up, but i find that if i put them on backwards (right phone on left and vice versa) it feels more comfortable and has the same quality music.

:) A good Pair of Headphones are Expensive but the Sound you get from them makes it all worth it.&#036;150 - &#036;200 is a good Range.I would probably not go over &#036;100 but that is me.

:D Good Topic dingoBaby :D

:( I will not say what I have at the moment. :(

:D Yep.A good Pair of Headphones are so nice.

I am actually looking at some Computer Headphones now.I had a cheap Pair of Labtecs along time ago and I thought they sounded good.These are only like &#036;30 and it says they are the best they have.

So if you run into any Computer Phones let me know. ;)

[muchspl2]

dingo I think you should go with one of the HD580s they are virtually identical to the 600s and can be found used for around 90-100 bucks + a medium priced solid state amp like a META42 or PiMeta for about 150 and you got some great sound

I love my headphones, I use them with my CD player and PC. I find it a lot better playing games or listining to MP3&#39;s with my headphones, I never use my PC without them. I really like the headphones that go behind your neck, not the ones that mess up your hair, or the really huge ones, just plain ol regular behind-the-neck headphones.

[summerlinda]

I have these cordless headphones, so that if I step away from my PC, the whole machine doesn&#39;t follow me :rolleyes:

Its a Philips FM Cordless Stereo Headphone SBC HOC. I can&#39;t remember what I Payed for it, something like 40 - 50 Euro.

Its battery operated, now I regret I didn&#39;t buy a rechargeable one...
But i&#39;m still happy with these :)

I don&#39;t wear them often, usually when I wanna listen to loud music late at night, have to think of the neighbors :D

[pusher]

I use a cheap pair of collapsable headphones from Sony. But I may have to go out and get me a pair of those cordless headphones&#33;

[bigdawgfoxx]

Man if you will spend 300 dollars...get the BOSE. They are noise canceling, I couldnt hear ANYTHING in the store, just the music. Also it is so real as I stated before I actually turned around because I though an employe was talking to me&#33;&#33;&#33; Those headphones are AWESOME&#33; They also have a 150 dollar pair which I showed you. I would go with BOSE.

[Afronaut]

I got Sennheiser HD 250 Linear II
I like the low frequencies a lot.
Other than that i think they getting used and old,

Some links,´:

PDF (http://buy.sennheiserusa.com/ASP/Sennheiser/pdf/hd250.pdf) , Review (http://www.epinions.com/Sennheiser_HD_250_Linear_II_Headphones_Headphones) , another Review (http://ecoustics.consumerreview.com/pscAudioReview/Headphones/Headphones/PRD_126380_2750crx.aspx)

..the price is about 150 - 170&#036; i guess. (didnt read the reviews, i know these are Ok for me) :P

If i had to get new ones, i&#39;d check what ppl in the biz uses, in studios etc,

sennheiser hd250 mk2 - I love em, I mean I really really love them :music1:

and I have sennheiser hd202 for anyone else in the house that wants to use headphones, the 250s are MINE :angry:

and just for good measure i have sennheiser ehsomething :huh: open backed for my mini disc.

I like sennheiser a lot :lol:

EDIT: and hell yeah the 250s were kinda pricey, but I just go without shoes for a while, but you can pick up hd202s for 25 quid or so, prolly less and they&#39;re real good. I suppose it depends how much time your gonna spend in them for how much you wanna pay for em ;)

[n18]

I use sennhiser HD497 amazing open cans, for only 70&#036;

[god-of-rock]

I&#39;m not sure if you&#39;re gonna use theese headphones for just listening to music, or if you are also making your own music.... If music is a important thing in your life and you want the best out of your headphones, you&#39;ll have to go somewhere btw 80-150 &#036;

My current headphones is AKG K44 costed me about 75&#036; and is almost good enough for my needs...
