So, yeah. It's me asking about the HD212s again... I'm simply wondering if they are worth around 80$? Because that is the only price I can seem to get them for here in the EU.

You're probably better off with SRH440s or Grado 80is for that price...or used HD555/AD700

Oh damn it's hard to buy headphones.

I've come to the decision of getting an AKG K272 HD, but seems like it's lacking bass. How bad is this "lack", I mean won't there be any bass? Would it be better to get Beyerdynamic DT770 instead?

I also need some recommendations for cheap but good soundcard.

AKG K271 MKII and K272 HD are the same headphones, just the HD gives you an extra (different) set of earpads and cables. If the K271 is cheaper and you don't need the extras, don't bother with the K272.

[image loading]

(as always, some sample variance, testing variance, and maybe the difference in pads contributes to some difference in FR)

So the "lack" is not that huge unless you're talking about sub-bass.

If you have a spare PCI slot, Asus Xonar DG is cheap and decent. AKG K272 is relatively insensitive; if you listen to say classical or jazz music with a very high dynamic range and want the loud parts to get really loud (110 dB SPL is a good benchmark level), then most lower-end sound cards will not quite be able to go that high. For most records, where almost everything is close to 0 dBFS, it will be okay.

I think most Sennheiser HD 2xx series are not that well regarded anyway (though HD 280 is a classic...if you need the isolation). Granted, I'm sure the HD 201 is not indicative of the rest, and that's the only one I've heard.

I'm seeing JVC HA-RX700 and Beyerdynamic DT 235 for under 40 euros, etc. on amazon.de. With European pricing, SRH440, MDR-V6, MDR-ZX700, etc. seem to be a bit out of reach. (These are all closed headphones.)

Mid-priced consumer-oriented headphones (those included) tend not to need that much power and are designed with ordinary sources in mind. Unless your source sucks I wouldn't worry about it. Save for A900 instead, maybe.

Yeah the ATH-M50 is in name a studio headphone, but in reality, I don't think so.

Alright. I've heard that. I was messing around with an external audio interface that had a decent headphone amp and I felt like I got more out of my headphones using it, but I'm probably mistaking loudness for sound detail/quality then.

Haven't decided on my next pair yet, I'm going to go have a listen to A700, A900 and any other pairs I can get my hands on this week. Got any other suggestions apart from A900? I'd like something with a relatively flat curve, no exaggerated/muddy bass and detailed mids/highs.

I just bought an asus xonar stx soundcard and sennheiser hd650s. So I guess I have a mid level settup now. Pretty excited.

Never have really had a good pair of headphones or an amp so I am expecting to be blown away.

Also, I see a lot of people asking about or already have purchased razer headsets. I have listened to all of the razer headsets except the sc2 ones at a local lan center and I have to say, they sound like complete shit. Stop buying razer headsets.

I have the Klipsh Image Ones. I got them for £100 - was it a good pickup? Or was there a better choice out there?

Well to be honest, there are always "better" headphones
Especially if you are wiling to pay more

But music is subjective!
If it sounds good to you, then you made a good decision in your purchase!
(Unless you buy Beats, which I can not recommend haha)

Yes, the Ortofons are much much under-appreciated. Top-tier crystal clear sound at a relatively easy to swallow price tag (compared to other top tiers).

What's broken? If it's just the cable or jack, you can solder in a new one. If the headband construction is broken, it may not go so well, depending on how that is. If the drivers are dead, you're out of luck, unless you can get new drivers to replace the old ones (for some expensive more common models like HD 650 they may be possible to find).

i moved two times, so i lost the receipt unfortunately :/.. anyway its an hd 558 and it seems to me that it could be a problem with the plug, since initially sound to the right ear would return if i wiggled the plug around a bit...
