Headphones
 

Can anybody recommend me a got pair of headphones which do ot break my wallet? they are supposed to play stuff from my mobile music player, no recording issues or something. Ive burned two pairs yesterday with a headphone out (beware of static sounds).
I like the isolation of those semi-in ear ones, and I hate these old school earbuds which got absolutely no isolation.
and no, I do not got 1000 bucks for some ultimate ear in ears.

It's A Trap!

sure it is!

The headphones I have are great, but they came with my computer. They're the in-ear ones with rubber that plugs your ears. They're definitely cheap, but they sound great and pick up really low frequencies pretty well.

Someone told me they're just like the Skullcandy ones, but I haven't tried those so I can't confirm.

yeah thats what I am talking about. I think this kind of headphones is a great choice for obile player because of the high isolation.
how much are they?

I've seen the Skullcandy ones for about $20. I don't know how they compare to mine, but they should be close. I've seen other brands in that style closer to $50. My friend had a $50 pair and he loved them.

I use Creative in-ear monitors. Great stuff, they is.

I swear by Grados. You can get a good set for under 100 bucks.

I used to own the SR125s (for a bood 15 years). I recently replaced them with the SR80s. They are excellent.

I am thinkin bout the AKG in ears which are about 50 euro. I love AKGs. so maybe thats a sure shot.
bought a pair of 15 euro ones just for today, because I cant stand ridin the train without music, and they suck big times!!!! to much highs!!!

I'm personally biased against all in-ear phones. I think they all sound too shrill.

my old ones where bassmonsters (the one included to the sony ericsson walkman handy, the orange white one)
they where really not shrill. but the cheap ones I bought today are shrill as fuck. will exchange them when I got better ones for sure

I think they're fantastic. Really surprising low-end for such small speakers.

Okay.

thats true!
I am thinkin bout the sennheiser cx300 too. really good test results I think and the same price tag as the akg

It depends on what you want em for. For just listening to music in a non-audiophilic kinda way then the Creative's are the best value.

yeah I am kinda audiophil. but if I want really good phones then I would go for the AKG k701 (maybe the hilarious modded version) which is too expansive for me at the moment.
I am kinda searching for pretty decent ones where I dont think "what the fuck they sound like shitting in a can". like the ones I bought today for emergency...
and I think for mobile listening the in ears are perfect because of the high isolation.

Sounds like you pretty much know what you want then and don't need our recommendations. Go for it, young man.

no its more kind of I semi-know-what I want. and wonder if somebody know these things and can tell if they are good or not :)
the in ear models Ive mentioned , I found for about a few minutes by myself

if you don't want them to break your wallet, buy the smallest ones you can find.


(dumbass)

floatingslowly will mark this post 3.5/10

Koss Porta pro, hm?

yes they sound great. but I think I will go for in ears while walking around, I made the experience that my hair is to big for such kind of headphones

Ich liebe meine Sennheisers.


3.5/10


2.2/10

<--- wracked with disappointment.

sennheisers are great, but most of the time I prefer akgs when it comes to full headphones, but I think I will check the sennheiser cx300. sounds pretty good in the reviews

mine weren't very expensive and sound awesome.

then again, almost anything would sound better than iPod earbuds (which I still use and love).

I hate that earbuds from the ipod, they do not isolate a fuck...

These.


Philips In-ear surround headphones. Can be had for $15-20 here. Great bass and great sound. The only issue is they tend to mess up after 2 years of constant use. I'm on my 3rd pair, probably going to buy a 4th soon as backup.

I also have Bose in-ear that were $100, but they're a little too heavy and expensive for my usual usage.

ive made a decision a hour ago, I bought these:




AKG K324P

and I am blasted to heaven right now. its like being born again sonic-wise!
the bass is incredible but pretty clear, even if you dont use equalizer settings, the bass goes really really low (not too loud, there is just ALL the bass what have been recorded) the highs are brilliant (not shrill, absolutely not, best highs ever heard on in ears, til yet) and the mids are comforting neutral, ot shrill at all. the are soundin ace on beat driven-electronic music and they are sounding ace on guitar driven music (which was a problem with al the headphones Ive ever had, only one genre would be supported really good)
it was the right decision, 40 euros well spent. I can only recommend them!!!

Well it appears it's too late, but I finally found the name of the ones I have: these. Creative EP-630. $20-$30.

Worst headphones ever are the iPod headphones.

Haha I use the iPod headphones when I want to still be able to hear someone knocking on my door or something.

holy shit there are even frequencies in some tracks I hadnt known that they exist :)

cant stop listening, its like everything sounds different, better!

do you want headphones or earbuds?

oh, too fucking late.

I wanted in-ear buds :)

hey youre in germany no?

when youre ready for real headphones check out sennheiser or AKG (this one's austrian). you should be able to pay less than the rest of us-- or no?

I bought the akg k324p in ear buds!

and I love the K701 from akg, it was an unbelieveable sonic experience listening to tunes with this baby. I really love anything by akg I had my hans on

the germans/austrians seem to be really good when it comes to audio monitoring

oh shit i didn't read the thread much ha ha ha

i thought you bought a pair of creatives, for some reason

anyway, im talking about REAL headphones w/ cushion around the ears-- try those-- they are yummy and don't get all shitty with wax ha ha ah

yeah I know, but I dont like them for mobile listening, cause (Ive said that too :)) my hair is too "big" for them, afterwards I look like someone whos woken up recently...
and yeah, try the AKG K701 I think they are the realest headphones you can get!! (will definately buy them sometime for ultimate audio pleasure at home)

I'd like something bomb proof. My earphones get a lot of abuse, I go trough a pair every six months or so. Any recommendations?

Edit: preferably w/ built-in mic and volume control.

Anything like Panasonic's RP-HJE900?



They were discontinued, can't find them anywhere.
