Hey guys, I'm requesting your help.
I'd want earplugs (but not IEMs) to listen to some music in the tram for a little money (less than 30€). Something with a quite neutral sound would be great (although I don't expect miracles in this price range) because I listen to quite a lot of different styles of music, good mediums would be very appreciated still.
I've been told to buy Sennheiser's MX 470 maybe. Have you guys tried them ?

Thanks.

This is pretty much my go-to guide for IEM's.


Normally I don't like to give shit over people not reading thread, but seriously this was like 2 posts before your post >.>
It's a very nice guide. They have some very nice suggestions on the cheaper IEMS, around the 30-50 dollar cost.

I'd suggest SoundMagic E10, I'm using them, and I love um. But they might be a bit warm in sound for you.

Hey guys, could I get some advice? I'm looking at getting some headphones purely for music, i've always had gaming headsets (most recently the Sennheiser PC350's) so would like something a bit more dedicated to the job. I've currently got a ROG Xonar Phoebus sound card (if that makes much difference). I've got a budget of £400 so anything you guys could suggest within those parameters would be much appriciated! Also any info/suggestions on amps would be good, not an area i've looked at before.

head-fi.org

best data base for anything headphones.

There is no comparison possible between your Nuforce w/e and a Sennheiser HD650. Even a low end sennheiser is probably better than a Nuforce.

For the ohms it is only important depending on what you have to drive.

MP3 players, smartphone can't drive well because of very low output power, so usually you don't go over 60~ohms headset if you want to listen to you mp3/smartphone, unless you have a portable damp.

300 ohms you need a living room high-fi or a real consol to drive this. Not your usual mp3.
you would still get sound on a mp3 but with a very low quality and fidelity. It would be a waste.

then again

How is the actual sound quality in the V2? Are there any ranges which don't sound quite as nice?

Headphone enthusiasts, I need help with making a purchase. I need a sturdy pair of headphones mostly for working out that aren't earbuds and have good audio quality, in the 50-150 range. Any ideas?

I've seen them as low as $70 before

Maybe wait a bit for the price to drop?
Or maybe the price of it went up, I dunno

I seem to remember more like $80-90 being typical, but let's check that Amazon price history at camelcamelcamel.

Anyway, there are other options too. I think around the usual price, it's a good headphone but not really suited to many peoples' tastes.

Hi
I've decided to try and get a new headset, and I can spend up to $300 if it's worth it. I would prefer to use a headset over headphones + mic setup because I play at night and talk very very quietly on vent, so I think I need something close to my mouth to pick up the whispering.
At this point I almost bought seinheiser pc360 because I want my headphones to sound decent overall, not only for games. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PC-360-Headset-Gaming/dp/B003DA4D2U?tag=tealiq-20

But I'm also considering Astro A40s as shown here:
http://www.astrogaming.com/a40-headset-astro-edition

The sole reason is the 7.1 surround sound which sounds kinda fun and which PC360 doesn't have. Does anyone have any experiences with them? Any recommendations as to which ones to go with?

From what I've read online I'm pretty sure I'll go with 360s but I know little about surround sound on headphones, hence the question.

PFE are indeed a nice pick, confy and great sound quality for that price range.
But they are IEM (in ear monitors) so it's a bit better than earbuds since it fits in and shouldn't be able to move or drop.

as usual try them before buying.

I ended buying mmx300 used for $217 + tax (TT taxes on amazon!) Hopefully it's not the shitty pair that was returned over and over again (was last pair they had;)). PC360 just wasn't an option anymore because I needed closed-back.

I've also made a post in another thread that summarizes what I found while shopping for headphones with emphasis on gaming, but without sacrificing overall quality. Might help someone else who is looking for a similar thing. You can find it here:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=319355&currentpage=15#284

If you don't wanna read it, still wanna mention 2 things that are worth checking out:
This seems to be a great guide for those who are looking for headphones primarily for gaming, but also want them to be good overall. It's an up to date summary for many different dolby headphones in one place:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-updated-10-30-12-dt990-listings-merged-and-updated

Finally in case anyone else was looking for a good attachable mic to avoid headsets and get good cans + mic, the following attaches to your headphones and basically turns them into a headset (you will have to wait for it to get back in stock though):
