11.03.09 | Props for Sennheisers. I use HD-555s, best headphones for the price Ive ever owned, and comfortable as shit. |
jagride

SmurkinGherkin
11.03.09 | I've got a pair of AKG 518s, there pretty amazing seeing as I only paid £30 for them. Sennheisser is too expensive for a broke 15 year old haha |
Prophet178
11.03.09 | Senn HD555's. |
TRMshadow
11.03.09 | the 555s are probably better quality, I understand, but I'm just not willing to spend 100$+ on a pair of headphones. |

11.03.09 | i use the trusty pair that came with my ipod. |
jagride
11.03.09 | Ugh ipod headphones sound like shit |
Prophet178
11.03.09 | They go on sale a lot on Amazon, I've seen them for as low as 60. But at least you got Senns, can't go wrong with them. |
bloc
11.03.09 | i've always been someone who doesn't need all those fancy electronics to enjoy what he has, the ipod phones are just fine for me. |
wonderboy4567
11.03.09 | yh same but sometimes they are too weak |
MrHotMoms
11.03.09 | i got sony "sweet little buds" or whatever gay fuckin name they gave them but they sound damn good |
Deviant.
11.03.09 | Senns all the way.
Buds aren't good for you, you're not meant to have something that
produces noise IN you ear, that close to your ear drum. |
MrHotMoms
11.03.09 | will it damage my hearing? |
Deviant.
11.03.09 | Maybe, if you had them in everyday for a number of hours at full
volume.
I've just been told that you headphones in your ears aren't a good
idea, the whole vibration in your ear ain't the best. |
Waior
11.03.09 | sennheiser loving itt yesss
i am in the minority, i have HD-355's |
Waior
11.03.09 | i mean HD-435s, whoops |
ckypro3
11.03.09 | i just use skullcandy ink'd. they sound alright |
DiceMan
11.03.09 | I have an awesome pair of BOSE headphones that have lasted me like 3 years. Holla. |
Tulannical
11.03.09 | shure e2c buds :O |
NigelH
11.03.09 | Grado SR-80's. Only 99 dollars and the best pair of headphones I have ever heard by far. |
Prophet178
11.04.09 | In Ear Monitors won't damage your hearing. You're worse off with earbuds because you compensate for shitty quality by raising the volume. |
AnotherBrick
11.04.09 | im planning on getting a pair of bose headphones...any thoughts?? |
Prophet178
11.04.09 | Don't. Bose is overpriced crap. Get a respectable brand like Sennheiser or Grado instead. |
AnotherBrick
11.04.09 | hmmm ill have to look into that |
ameypv
11.04.09 | I use sony mdr xd100 while listenin on my comp.bt cant use them for my pod coz of the f'n long cable.so i use the default crappy ipod eps :-( |
Prophet178
11.04.09 | Pretty much all you need to know: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f11/whats-so-bad-about-bose-362633/ |
TRMshadow
11.04.09 | The Sennheiser HD 202 (atleast the ones I got) comes with a thing to wind your cord around and lock in place. It is pretty cool. |
KILL
11.04.09 | 555s ftw |
Tulannical
11.04.09 | thinking of getting the hd555's... how much of the sound leaks out? |
TRMshadow
12.23.09 | WHAT THE HECK!! MY SENNS JUST BROKE?? I PICK THEM UP TO LIST TO THE OCEAN AND THE LEFT EAR WONT MAKE ANY NOISE, WTF!!!! HOW CAN SENNS JUST LAST 1 MONTH???
ugggghhhh, Maybe I should go for the 555s this time. |
March_Of_Sand
12.23.09 | I use a cheap pair of JVC headphones. |
SpritzSpritz
12.23.09 | Bose over-ear headphones. They have made every other headphone sound terrible. |
Prophet179
12.23.09 | I guess you haven't heard many other headphones then. |

12.23.09 | Dude you win so much for your prof pic |
TRMshadow
12.23.09 | You know of Akumetsu? |
Relinquished
12.23.09 | Been reading it recently. |
TRMshadow
12.23.09 | You Read at onemanga? The series is amazing and has a really good ending, keep reading. |
Matte
12.23.09 | For your tastes, I would get some Grado SR60's. |
Ire
12.23.09 | I got those same headphones 3 weeks ago, easily the best pair I own.
Other than that I have many pairs of cheap headphones and fair earbuds
|
JWT155
12.23.09 | Sennheiser HD 595's and Bose's $130 headphone's for when I'm traveling or other people are in the room. |
Ire
12.23.09 | "ugggghhhh, Maybe I should go for the 555s this time."
maybe you should get a warranty lawl |
TRMshadow
12.23.09 | They already come with a 2 year warranty... All Sennheiser have it no matter what model. |
Ire
12.23.09 | damn, i got a guitarcenter warranty with mine
well atleast I wont have to send them in the mail when they break. |
SeaAnemone
12.23.09 | just picked out senn hd228s for xmas yesterday |
TRMshadow
12.23.09 | I already miss them, I just got back from walmart with a pair of 10$ Phillips over-the-ears, but they just aren't doing the music justice.
and Grado SR60s aren't the best, those would have to be these >>> ://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD800-Premier-Headphone/dp/B001OTZ8DA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1261581923&sr=8-1
I will try the grados next though |
Matte
12.24.09 | I actually got to listen to the HD800's over the summer. There was a Head-Fi meet in Seattle, and I went to it. They were amazingly accurate, neutral, and fast, but for rock I would prefer some a little more punchy. They are really amazing headphones, but I don't think they would mix well with most of what I listen to. I liked the Audio-Technica L3000 better, and the Grado RS1 and HF2 are sweet too. |
Emim
12.24.09 | I've got Virtual Reality H200s, not GREAT but good enough to get the job done.
You should take your headphones over to the August Burns Red review, they need some over there ;) |
Matte
12.24.09 | ABR actually doesn't have very good production haha. Messengers is absolutely terrible, and Constellations is ok, but still kinda of muddy. |
ebay
12.24.09 | matte you know absolutely nothing about headphones |
Matte
12.24.09 | Ebay you like boys so gtfo plz/ |
dylantheairplane
12.24.09 | "i use the trusty pair that came with my ipod."
ace.
I don't understand this fancydancey headphone business; music is music |

Trust me dude, you don't know what you're missing. |

12.24.09 | hey matte, i know what you're missing, SKULLCANDIES!! mmmmm yummm |

12.24.09 | Bose. |

^Those are definitely better than any other headphones currently in production. I mean c'mon, they have BULLETS!!!! |

Ignorance is bliss. |
ebay
12.24.09 | ooooo nice. i'd take a bubble bath with those bad boyz |
dylantheairplane
12.24.09 | I think they look kinda stupid.
Why would I want to walk around with a fuckin bullet on my head? |
Matte
12.24.09 | "ooooo nice. i'd take a bubble bath with those bad boyz"
All right I think I've proven my point.
"Bose."
Lol no. Just..... no. |
ebay
12.24.09 | why???? cuz it signifies the br00tal music u listen to!!! oh and bose in all honesty are terribly overrated |
Prophet179
12.24.09 | I prefer the Lady Gaga Signature Beats by Dr. Dre and Monster Cable myself. Totally worth the $150 premium when it's from two of the biggest names in audio electronics. |
dylantheairplane
12.24.09 | no I think my Bjork and Bright Eyes albums are just too br00tal for them |
DiceMan
12.24.09 | I heard James Bond is gonna have those in his next movie.
But really.... I love my headphones... They go everywhere with me. |
Matte
12.24.09 | Sure, Bose sounds better than Skullcandy or those crappy little apple earbuds, but you could do a lot better for the price that they're charging you. A lot. |
Crysis
12.24.09 | Agalloch with headphones is an essential listen. Also try "Heresy" by Lustmord. |
ebay
12.24.09 | haha well put dylan |
Prophet179
12.24.09 | Bose take advantage of uninformed consumers (ie 95% of the people shopping) by making their product seem better than it is then charging a higher price. The truth is, Bose has no credentials in the professional audio world, and their consumer grade products are nothing more than that. |
DiceMan
12.24.09 | Ok then. Should I get Sennheisers next time then? |
Prophet179
12.24.09 | It's all to your taste really. Senn, Grado, Audio Technica, Shure are all well respected brands. Generally you should never buy audio equipment without hearing it yourself first, but word of mouth is usually correct.
But if you're happy with your Bose headphones right now you shouldn't worry about anything, they're still miles ahead of any stock apple headphones. |
Crysis
12.24.09 | Sennheisers are my preference. |
TMobotron
12.24.09 | I would always go with sennheiser. When I was asking around about what to buy it just seemed like the majority of people who own sennheisers just love their headphones, and now that I have a pair Im one of them too. I said earlier I have the hd 555s, but I plan on upgrading to the 650s as soon as I have the money. |
Prophet179
12.24.09 | I'd get a nice headphone amp instead TM, the difference between the 555's and the 650's isn't very large, but a nice headphone amp will squeeze every ounce of quality out of your 555's. |
Klekticist
12.24.09 | skullcandy ink'd. they're fine.
ive got a bit of a dirty music collection. very little lossless. only lately started getting v0. got a lot of old 192's lying around... |
