SaneTBP: Headphones? + Digs

SaneTBP 12.28.14	sup? Addind descriptions, music recs are also much appreciated
tempest-- 12.28.14	maybe its just me but I wouldn't want noise cancelling headphones for outside use... you know how much hearing comes in handy when you're out and about? like crossing roads and listening for traffic and stuff but its up to you in the end :-]
grish 12.28.14	my current headphones for outside use are sennheiser amperiors. i found a new pair for under 200$ on ebay. they are on-ear, which works for me and people who have tried mine say they're more comfortable/not as bad as they expected from on-ear headphones. great sound too, for a closed pair.
SaneTBP 12.28.14	Good point tempest but I like to hear at least MOST of the details in the music that I listen to, and with noise cancelling cans I could hear that stuff with much less volume..
tempest-- 12.28.14	is having great quality music a priority when you're out and about, probably running errands or going to school/work/whatever really that important? i mean, you're probably listening to music on some ipod or other mp3 player with some basic sound card anyway, i just don't think it's really worth it to spend up to $200 on some headphones which won't really be utilised properly. i'm all for getting some quality phones for when you're at home in a quiet controlled environment, but i think it would be silly to get an expensive pair, especially when they're going to be more prone to getting damaged or stolen or lost or whatever
SaneTBP 12.28.14	Yeah I thought that I'm probably going to buy Sennheiser's or AKG's headphones but I'll keep looking, those look pretty neat though. The main thing is good soundstage and a balanced bass/middle/treble department I guess, not that much into headphones so can't say much more. I already own Sennheiser HD 598's and as great as those are, it's still a pain to listen to with open-ended headphones in a noisy environment..
SaneTBP 12.28.14	Fair enough. I anyways put the limit a little bit too high originally, it's really more around 70-150$ zone really, but that might change depending on how good headphones I'll find for the prices. Changed that for the description. Didn't change my mind about the need for headphones though, since I spent a lot of time in buses and I'd love to listen to some music meanwhile.
Keyblade 12.28.14	If you're using it only on trains and buses etc, then noise cancelling should be a priority in my opinion. It gets pretty loud on public transport, and for the sake of your ears you don't want to be turning up your music to drown out all the ambient noise. Noise induced hearing loss is a serious issue, especially when you're pumping out 90 dB+ every day on your commutes. That shit accumulates yo
DoctorDoom 12.28.14	I bought a pair of DNA's originally priced at 200 + for only 130 via Amazon.com. It was a great deal and they've been a quality purchase.
Ryus 12.28.14	sweet list brah
SaneTBP 12.28.14	@Doctor those DNA's seem to be quality stuff, never heard of the brand before. Cheers! thanks Ryus! @key indeed, I actually have a small tinnitus (which I got when I had an ear infection). Mine isn't that harsh, so it doesn't really affect my life that much, but it still sucks. Agreed with every point you said.. :p
DoctorDoom 12.28.14	Yeah I enjoy them, good luck in your search!
Let 12.28.14	I'd suggest just getting in-ears for outside use, and tempest is spot on. Noise cancelling headphones always compromise sound quality, and have some of the worst in their price range. In-ears should give you all the isolation you need, and of course they're much less cumbersome. These shures are one of the best around their price range, and are totally within your budget http://www.amazon.com/Shure-SE215-K-Isolating-Earphones-MicroDriver/dp/B004PNZFZ8
grish 12.28.14	ah, nice that you own the hd 598s. i got those at the same time as the amperiors. such great soundstage/balance/etc. with those
grish 12.29.14	Oh, sennheiser momentums too. can be a bit uncomfortable when you're not used to them or wear them for long periods, and probably outside of your price range unless you get a deal. great sound though. not bad at stopping outside noise, i can't compare anymore but the amperiors might be a bit better at that
SaneTBP 12.29.14	Hmm, I always thought that in-ears aren't as good sound quality wise as on-ears. I guess that's a wrong assumption? Gotta read more about in-ears anyways. Yeah momentums are pretty good but they don't block the outisde noise as well as I'd like them to so idk.. :p
