10.18.11 | I had a friend too who was set on Beats only because he listens to a lot of dubstep and wanted heavy bass but I told him he was just going through a phase and soon he'd regret his decision. For Beats, you're really only paying for the brand name because those headphones are crap.
Made him buy a pair of Audio Technica ATH M50 like I have. Really good headphones. |

10.18.11 | sennheiser hd 595 is good
but the hd 800's are the best ever |

10.18.11 | well yeah man open cans are on a different level

Ah, rookie mistake man. You can get the same quality out of 595s for a helluva lot less money. ;) |
sifFlammable
10.18.11 | hd598s > hd595s in soundstage / bass
yeah yeah i know the difference wont be huge but a) i /need/ soundstage (i broke my hd-25 a few wks ago, and really want a change in soundstage) b) 595s arent as cheap as you make it out to be, and c) being picky is what being an audiophile is about m/ |

10.18.11 | my head phones cost 25$, insurance is more important then headphones. |

10.18.11 | Sennheiser for sure. My wife's cousin has a pair of beats and even after a decent burn-in they are underwhelming for the price tag.

10.18.11 | people who buy headphones based on sound quality and then go listen to shitty digital rips on their shitty ipods are fucking stupid as hell
if youre going to spend money on headphones for THAT purpose, buy based on:
1) warranty
2) style
the choice is skullcandy. drop around 80 bucks with the right coupon at the right time, you'll never have to pay for headphones again |
theacademy
10.18.11 | sennheiser's are a good choice if he listens to a lot of gay shit tho then sennheiser's are the way to go for sure |

true, though i wouldn't be quick to criticise people who buy good portable headphones like t1350 or hd25 - they're relatively easy to power (yes even with a mp3) and they make a /big/ difference. |
jefflebowski
10.18.11 | well, even with my 'shitty rips', they sound one hell of a lot better with good headphones. and skullcandys are fucking dreadful, terribly built and overpriced |

10.18.11 | sennheiser makes earbuds that are infinitely better than skullcandy, not sure what you're going on about academy. i listen to quality rips on quality headphones |

if u want to listen to shit rips on ipod get skullcandy |

theacademy
10.18.11 | "well, even with my 'shitty rips', they sound one hell of a lot better with good headphones. and skullcandys are fucking dreadful, terribly built and overpriced"
haha ive seen what kinda shit music you listen to... i don't think headphones r gonna make a difference
"sennheiser makes earbuds that are infinitely better than skullcandy, not sure what you're going on about academy. i listen to quality rips on quality headphones"
yeah but skullcandy buds cost 4.99 on amazon or ebay, and their warranty can be worth up to 20 bucks... stack a couple of those coupons over a few years and you own 23% of the company and get to go to the x games |

10.19.11 | I just bought some ultimate ears for only $30 and I love them. Probably the best in-ears you can get for less than fifty bucks. I didn't spend that much since I haven't tried the brand before, but next time I'm going to buy the more expensive headphones. |
