BigPleb 09.03.13	£27 is damn cheap.
Rowan5215 09.03.13	5 = life
BigPleb 09.03.13	Ye its great, sitting at a 3.7 right now. Keeps growing with every listen.
Rowan5215 09.03.13	Like a 4.6 for me, so fucking amazing.
BigPleb 09.03.13	Damn Rowan, glad you're digging it that much. What model are your Senn's, Jac?
allthatichug 09.03.13	yeah they good
BigPleb 09.03.13	Sweet, £48 is an ideal price.
Greyvy 09.03.13	Get the hd 598. Itll be the last pair of headphones you buy unless youre an audiophile. And what type are you looking for? On ear or over ear?
Gwyn. 09.03.13	they're really good yea, been using the brand for years now and never failed
BigPleb 09.03.13	Sweet :D
joomisy 09.03.13	Yeah I have them Haven't had one problem with those things for like 2 years
Greyvy 09.03.13	They really do. The sound on them is really good for the price, which may seem pretty steep for an average person but definitely worth it
tommygun 09.03.13	haven't tried em but the senn buds rock so idk prob irrelevant but everybody i've spoken to swears by senns so
ILJ 09.03.13	sennheisers are great. had a pair of 518s and they were awesome and then i got some 380 pros and those are better so yeah they're fantastic. the 380s have some fucking ridiculous bass man.
WhiteNoise 09.03.13	I've got a pair and they really do sound great
zxlkho 09.03.13	HD 598 is the shit
BigPleb 09.03.13	Just got a pair of 202's, best place to start so I can test their greatness.
oresttt 09.03.13	To test them, you should probably jam with us now...
BigPleb 09.03.13	Haha, they are on order :/
alachlahol 09.03.13	have the HD555s from 2-3 years ago,, still sickbird
GiaNXGX 09.03.13	650's myself, supreme thingies.
zxlkho 09.03.13	^ I am jealous
alachlahol 09.03.13	650s??? dang. i offer you my sword
zakalwe 09.03.13	What are the best in ear Senns? I don't want to look a berk on the train.
dante1991 09.03.13	Yeah, Sennheiser is usually pretty good shit, man. It's what I generally go for anyway.
peartnoy 09.03.13	Best headphones under 200 bucks=audio-technica ath m50
zxlkho 09.03.13	GiaNXGX, what amp do you have with those?
Kubrick 09.03.13	I have the 598's. They are worth every penny. Easily the most comfortable headphones I've ever had/tried on.. can wear them for 10 hours straight and not even feel them. Sound quality is fantastic as well.
GiaNXGX 09.03.13	Schiit Valhalla
EyesWideShut 09.03.13	& GianX what kinda tubes you got ?
apert 09.04.13	i got the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II for £170 really good headphones, would definitely recommend them if you've got the cash to spend
Rev 09.04.13	I've got 280's. Love em
toxin. 09.04.13	HD598, worth the price? i have a high budget but i want something that'll last
demigod! 09.04.13	i got 201's back in January and haven't had any issues with them. they sound great for $50 headphones.
Masochist 09.04.13	Those HD598s are some of the prettiest headphones I've ever seen in that price range. But it depends on what music you plan on listening to.
toxin. 09.04.13	i probably listen to 50% indie/alt rock (pretty standard stuff) and 50% classical. from my experience with my brother's momentums, it's classical where it makes a huge difference, particularly on orchestral pieces. i'm not quite sure i have the ears to tell the difference between 598s and slightly lower-tier headphones, but then again, my ears might get trained better and i'd rather have something good already than "outgrow" an inferior pair, so to speak
frigyourgenre 09.04.13	shood hav got da beatz they hav gud bass you kno
Kubrick 09.04.13	@toxin I can't recommend the 598's with enough enthusiasm. Especially considering you listen to a lot of classical (I listen to quite a bit as well) - these are particularly excellent for that. On top of that you literally will not find a more comfortable pair of headphones. I highly doubt you will regret spending the extra money.
toxin. 09.04.13	sweet man. sounds awesome. what kind of amp do you use with it?
Kubrick 09.04.13	I have a Fiio E10: http://www.amazon.com/Fiio-E10-USB-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B005VO7LG6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378263732&sr=8-1&keywords=fiio+e10 The really nice thing about these headphones though as opposed to most high-end pairs is that they have a really low impedance (50 ohms) so they are actually very easy to run. Honestly, you don't even really need to use an amp with them if you don't want to spend the extra money. With the one I have, I don't even have to turn the volume halfway up before it's very loud. If you do get an amp though, any more more expensive than the one I have is complete overkill.
toxin. 09.04.13	sweet, in that case i'll probably invest amp money into a cheap set of closed headphones that i can take on car/plane trips or even just walking to/from class. ty for all your help!
Kubrick 09.04.13	Yeah honestly that's money better spent. The 598's definitely aren't meant to be mobile haha. No problem dude! ^__^
Matthaios 09.05.13	I have the HD558's. I couldn't decide between them, the 518 or 598 so I just opted for the compromise. I love them and have used them every day for nearly 1.5 years. They sound fantastic and have actually lowered in value, but they are open, so if you're looking for something closed go for the 448s or something around that price range. AKG also has a good wide range to offer.
