Ignimbrite 12.17.11	seconded.
AlonsoHarris 12.17.11	BEATS by DRE nigga!
OwlProwler 12.17.11	beyerdynamics
Restrikted 12.17.11	thirderenrredad
sleepdirt 12.17.11	How about some music?
Restrikted 12.17.11	lol beats are too mainstream lulz
sifFlammable 12.17.11	Sennheiser HD 25-1 II should be around $150~200. look no further - these are the king of portable headphones by some distance. (i'm assuming you'd want portable because indoor setups are going to cost you more than $200)
sifFlammable 12.17.11	being closed cans they're also naturally inclined towards electronic music. try playing aquatic family affair on these and you'll see what i mean
AdamK 12.17.11	if you want a high quality headphone I would go with a Shure pro or pro studio model. They sound amazing. and you can get a good price on amazon.
ronburgandy 12.17.11	GRADO PRESTIGE SERIES!!!!!!
omnipanzer 12.17.11	I < 3 my Beats
AdamK 12.17.11	beats are so overpriced
Pentagon 12.17.11	Haha thanks for the recs guys. Ye man fuck beats, not worth it. Ill probably get Sennheisers, probably the ones sif suggested.
Haz 12.17.11	http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50-Professional-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B000P62ND6
taylormemer 12.17.11	i b4 baseline
Pentagon 12.17.11	@ Haz, nice i might get those @ taylormemer, lolwut?
jefflebowski 12.17.11	Beyers, they're as good as Sennheisers but also have better build quality and are comfier
zxlkho 12.17.11	http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042A8CW2/ ^^Get these. I've never seen the HD598s cheaper on amazon than they are right now.
jefflebowski 12.17.11	'And fuck Beyerdynamic, they're like the Apple of the headphone industry, decent but overpriced' The DT770s are better than any other equivalently priced headphones i've tried as well as being more durable
Haz 12.17.11	"@ Haz, nice i might get those" I'd believe the hype. Several audiophile type forums on the web I have frequented jizz all over them as great value for money, and they really are. I love my pair.
jefflebowski 12.17.11	'That's because it's the only pair of headphones you ever tried, maybe?' ....or maybe not!
StrangerofSorts 12.17.11	If you want some money left over for a cheap amp or something, get the HD595's. You'll hardly notice the difference between them and the 598's.
Hordewolf 12.17.11	I'd usually tell you to get Teufel, but they're an exclusively German brand so I'll second Sennheiser.
sifFlammable 12.17.11	I have the 598 and they have a better sound chip than 595s Also thanks for ignoring my rec on HD-25s, but I guess i wont be too disappointed if you get the M50 they're great
StrangerofSorts 12.17.11	I didn't deny there's a difference, but you're paying a lot for that little extra slice of clarity. Also wa'chu talking about Baseline. 595's look more sophisticated, even if the 8's look slightly like they have elements of rich mahogany.
Pentagon 12.17.11	Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Right now I'm torn between the HD 25- I Sennheisers and Beyerdynamic 770's. @ Hordewolf, I live in the Netherlands, so maybe I could order online I guess?
Hordewolf 12.17.11	Well, you can't order them from their website since they only order to Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic but if you can order from German Amazon you can get them there, just type in "Teufel Aureol" - they're pretty HQ but way cheaper than most of the Sennheisser/Bose/ect. stuff.
sifFlammable 12.17.11	Listen to baseline here, the DT series seriously need an amp (personally, the DT880 600ohm are the best) or else you're really wasting $. I bought the 598s because they work relatively great without an amp, but it's not something you'll want if you're going to listen to electronic music. It's got bass, but it's not really prominent. Trust me on the HD-25 - reference quality sound with excellent bass, and no need to worry about sound leakage / amp
sifFlammable 12.17.11	ebay international works good
jefflebowski 12.17.11	as much as I love them, the DT770s suffer un-amped compared to the sennheisers, especially the 250ohm version. Having had both, the 80ohm ones work pretty well with ipods though
Adash 12.17.11	Grado Sr 125's. Got mine from a friendly black man and never looked back. Sound is superb and they look like you're the radio operator in a WWII submarine
Pentagon 12.18.11	Thanks for the recs guys. In the end I decided to get the HD 25-I Sennheisers.
bakkermaarten007 12.18.11	Good choice! I'm glad you didn't go for Beats headphones for headphone manufacturer's credibility's sake!
Sleaper 12.18.11	how much were they man? mine just got crushed in my bag so i gotta buy some new ones. i dont wanna spend any more than $50 >
bakkermaarten007 12.18.11	The ones he bought were way more than 50$. I would suggest you to buy the Sennheiser CX300 II, they're the best you can buy at that price. Were mine for a long time, now using Klipsch Image S4 and I must say the Sennheisers don't lose by a mile.
GenusHomo 12.20.11	I have sennheiser px100-II's which I like. The bass, mids and highs are all good but they do bleed sound
figure337 12.20.11	I have some radioshack brand noise-cancelling headphones that work superbly. Great bass for rap and slude/doom, only thirty bucks. I also have beats for my laptop speakers and those work pretty damn well too.
Rev 12.20.11	I have Senn HD280's. I love them but I feel I can do better. Ideas?
sifFlammable 12.20.11	what are you looking for and whats your budget rev
sifFlammable 12.20.11	also a man like you should be capable of doing your own research head-fi.org
Rev 12.20.11	good mixing or for travel, two in one would be perfect though 100-250
sifFlammable 12.20.11	same goes then, sennheiser hd 25-1 DJ headphones, closed so its good for electronic music, isolates sound so its perfect for travelling, reference quality sound in general so other genres will be good too
qwe3 12.20.11	bro Denon AH-D1100 such good value, last long, great sound, durable etc http://www.head-fi.org/products/denon-ah-d1100/reviews
sifFlammable 12.20.11	find a few headphones you like and do a Headphone A vs headphone B ish search on head fi
KILL 12.20.11	i got sennheiser 555s and they fuckin rule, cant remember how much they were though
sifFlammable 12.20.11	open senns are made for indie hippy music unless you have amps or ambient music which is why i have senn 598
KILL 12.20.11	?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
sifFlammable 12.20.11	im sorry kill metal kinda blows on senn 500s please dont kill me
KILL 12.20.11	bro listening to no life til leather tape can hear every fizzle pop they rule
sifFlammable 12.20.11	they rule on pretty much anything more forward than senn 500s...?
sifFlammable 12.20.11	yeah man, mines got huge soundstage, its excellent for stuff like atmospheric bm but its just too far for more fast-hitting metal like thrash or dm, i think.
Imperial 12.20.11	SKULLCANDY LOL.
Imperial 12.20.11	I am really weary about spending good money on head phones...I always find a way to break them. I buy these $5 headphones that skull candy makes and I've been through about 4 pairs in a year. I kind of want a nice pair for home when I'm listening to tunes but like I said I don't trust myself.
sifFlammable 12.20.11	its always financially impractical to fix too unless you have warranty
iZac 12.20.11	@Fourthreich you should try the Koss Ksc75s, they are only ten bucks on amazon and have a lifetime warranty, you can even break them yourself to get them replaced. Plus they are they are by FAR the best anywhere near that price.
iZac 12.20.11	Also Grados (or Alessandros if you live outside the US due to high shipping costs) are great for rock and metal. The Alessandro MS-1 which I use has a similar sound signature to the Ksc75, so it's easy to switch between the two for portable/home use.
