i currently have sennheiser hd 448,sennheiser hd 650, grado rs1, grado sr325is, akg k701, ultrasone pro 900, monster turbine pro gold, and beyerdynamic t1.

my DAC is a ps audio digital link III

i use these for music and some movies/gaming.

anyone with any headphone questions, feel free to msg me :)

That looks like a pretty neat list of headphones

I use a pair of Logitech G35 right now. Bought them yesterday and I like them so far.

I was going for a lesser ohmed version anyway (32 ohm most likely) because I'll use them with a portable player and I don't like when your headphones impede your sound too much unless you're into classic or someting, where I can totally see the use of a high ohm level.

Get a job instead of a weekly allowance from your parents, that should help you

I was thinking of getting in ear earphones but they cost alot.

RaveComing · Post by **RaveComing** » December 24th, 2011, 9:00 pm

I don't like earphones simply because they don't render harmonics as well as a pair of headphones. I might choose earphones over headphones for portable use though, or simply to listen to metal/rock if not symphonic (where there's a lot of harmonics involved)

i made 12,000 USD in 2 months... sadly most of that is gone now. i have like 4 left...

I'm ressurecting this thread ^.^

Used to have

http://www.monsterproducts.com/productd ... p?pin=7059

now with

http://www.monsterproducts.com/productd ... p?pin=6987

so much of a big difference between in-ear and on-ear headphones, didn't know it was that much, I'm finally very happy after searching for a good pair of headphones after 15 years. These things are hard to shop because you can't return it. And to top it off it's a tangle-free cord, no more messing around with it, it's just one cable not in a Y shape!

Resurrection of the thread.
Used to use OEM Samsung EHS 61 earbud, came with the Samsung phone.

Philips SHM3100U, for $10

Looking for a earbud (prefer not in-ear) that's around $50 USD, any idea?

I have a old Logitech PS2 headset that I found in a flea market a couple of months ago. Believe it or not the mic sounds pretty good.

Just found The Ultimate Headphones Test - AudioCheck.net
http://www.audiocheck.net/soundtests_headphones.php

At the end, it suggests Superlux HD668B Dynamic Semi-Open Headphones for $43.19
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003JOETX8/
My budget is $50, is it good or there are better ones for $50?

emilemil1 · Post by **emilemil1** » September 25th, 2015, 11:01 am

Mine goes down to 20Hz and as high as 20kHz, which is good. It also means I haven't lost my ability to hear high frequencies yet ^^ The spectral flatness test is perfect in the bass/treble, and like a fraction too silent in the mids.

Dynamic range was 60dB from full.

The headphones did vibrate a bit at the lowest frequencies, which makes sense since they aren't very sturdy. At normal listening levels it's also not a problem.

Driver matching is slightly too loud in the left ear. This is most likely due to my broken cable though, which makes me lose audio completely in the right ear if I don't tape the cable correctly. I've noticed this problem earlier from when the cable first broke.

The rest of the tests complete fine.

I'd say that with headphones you best bet is always to go to a store and do hands-on testing with your phone/tablet/laptop/mp3-player, preferably a powerful one or it may not be able to output enough power to properly drive the headphones. Not everyone wants headphones with perfectly accurate sound (unless you're a producer), because as that page says, you have to take the properties of your own ears into account, your personal preferences, etc.

Post by **Zurd** » September 8th, 2016, 7:40 pm

As I was saying (with images now though), I used to have the NCredible NErgy In-Ear Headphones by Monster, bad audio quality since it's so small.

Then I switched to the NCredible NTune On-Ear Headphones by Monster:

Their quality sound was really good for on over-the-ear type headphone but it's what I call a broken design. Everytime you put it on your head or remove it, you're bending the frame which is in... plastic! They broke and there's no fix. I really like the fact you could remove the sound cable and, also, that you could put it in the other ear.

I'm back to shopping for headphones but no more stupid plastic frames this time!

I'm a total in-ear nut.
I can't stand the feeling of something enclosing me over my head lower than my brow.

I'm using $20 senheisers atm, because my previous JBL pair god lost within three weeks and I did not want to risk another $170 purchase.
I had some Beats in-ears as well, which I didn't use, because they felt really really vulnerable. Appearantly they broke without my intervention, good thing I didn't wear them out so quick then.

I do like JBL, just because they fit me better, but I wonder what else I can find with a $200 budget...

Tranceformer · Post by **Tranceformer** » September 9th, 2016, 7:42 am

I Use the "AKG K518-LE".

Quite good Soundproofing ear pads
Dynamic ear pads

Finally bought my first decent headphone which is Sennheiser HD 558, also my first over ear headphones.

Post by **Zurd** » May 25th, 2017, 2:24 pm

I forgot to say I switched a few months ago to V-MODA XS, the frame is military grade, the sound quality is the best I ever heard, sometimes I wish the sound could be a bit louder though but it's more than adequate. It is amazing how the sound is contained, I can listen to my music very loud but people around hears absolutely nothing. I like the look, it's small and can be carried around easily. It is a bit expensive but this one will last me a lifetime!
