So far ive been using these http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRDS6500-Digital-Surround-Headphones/dp/B004P15HD0 for I think 3 years. I want something at least as good or better in the same price-range (a little bit more isnt a problem, not more than 250€ though). anyone have any recommendations? thx in advance | ||

pros: great sound obv, strong build, sleek design cons: can be uncomfortable after hours of wear, cord is too damn long any good in ear headphone suggestions? ones that are reasonably affordable 20-40 dollars, which won't fall out of your ears | ||

They're pretty easy to pull apart. Also, I hear you on their durability and also your cons are quite accurate  . | ||

It should cost you less than 20 dollars and the sound quality will be nowhere near them if you replace them. If you HAVE to replace them, spend $60 or so on Creative Aurvana Live! They are considered to be on par with the ATH M50 as far as quality goes, but with slightly worse build quality. Don't get me wrong, they don't break easily, but they do feel cheaper. Still... quality is amazing for the price. I have a pair and recommend them to everyone, ever. :D Anyway, Romania decided to have Black Friday on the 22nd, and I got to order a pair of Sennheiser Momentum On Ear for about $150. Does anyone have any experience with these? I read only good reviews so far, but I keep wondering if they were worth it. | ||

I have a few sets of Hisoundaudio and Yuin earbuds and all of them have been amazing. Far better sounding than the equivalently priced Sennheisers or the like and last a long time (my one set of Hisoundaudios is 2 years old now. Far older than any other set of earbuds I've had). I can't use IEMs so I have to settle for earbuds so I have a few different pairs, my favourite being the the Yuin PK2 followed by the Hisoundaudio PAA1-Pro. So basically not the over-the-ear kind eh? I would have recommended either Vsonic R02 or Sound Magic e10. I know both Chinese but both surprisingly good. I've heard very good things about Sound Magic. | ||

Amazon had them for around $30 dollars or so a few weeks ago and I had Fry's pricematch them (they had it at $60 I think). Good for the price though if you just need some earbuds. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [large picture] + ![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61VPf3SVq3L._SL1500_.jpg) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FDQQDP2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Soul Combat+ Series over-ear headphones. Built specifically for the "active" lifestyle. I always take them when I go to the gym and exercise, and they're pretty nice. They don't move around a lot and are pretty stable and comfortable on the head, although if you have large ears (like me) they may be a little uncomfortable at first, but you adjust to them after a while. Sound quality is good, it truly cancels noise from the outside so all you can hear is the music and you can concentrate more. But that also means people around you can easily hear the music you're playing. The headphones hold up well while sprinting. They don't bobble or anything and remain stable. The only issue I had is that I have to hold my phone while I run because it moves around too much in my pocket. However, that isn't the headphone's fault. The cord was the coolest part of the whole headset to me lol. Instead of your typical cylinder-type cord, the one for these headphones is extremely thin, flat, and lightweight. It reminded me of a really light pasta noodle. It also has a clip on it so you can attach the cord to your shirt, to prevent it from getting in the way while you exercise. Overall, they look really badass. That's what was one of the huge selling points for me was, lol. If you have $200 to blow, and you're looking for quality headphones to use while working out, then I recommend these. | ||

That's not a thing that happens... if they're well isolated, the sound from inside doesn't go outside, and the sound from outside doesn't go inside. If you don't hear people and people hear you, either they're not isolated and your music is loud, or they're isolated and your music is very loud. | ||

I like the sound, it's about what I was expecting, but they're not as comfy as I hoped they'd be. They grip you quite tightly, and I don't know if I'll get used to that anytime soon. The base is strong, a bit overwhelming at first, but quite clear, especially for closed cans. There is definitely a bit of sound-stage, feels more open than the Creative Aurvana Lives I've been using. The only problem is that they're not THAT much better. Considering they're 3x the price, I'm not sure I'm satisified. The construction is off-the-hook. Solid and nicely finished everywhere you look, so I can definitely tell why they cost as much as they do, especially coupled with the great sound they produce (as far as closed headphones go). However, if they don't fully convince me in the next 3-4 days, I might just return them and go for a used pair of HD650s. And a pic of themz. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/FuaD6X5.jpg) | ||

I'll give them a few more days. I had some friends try them, and they said they are the best sounding headphones they ever heard. That would be all great, but I'm not sure I can live with knowing I could have the 650s instead. | ||

That would be all great, but I'm not sure I can live with knowing I could have the 650s instead. The HD650's sound quality is obviously going to be much superior but they're open design and the cable is very long so they're not really suitable to be worn in public. If you can deal with the fact that they're used, you can be sure their sound is much, much better than that of the on ears momentums. | ||

I decided that if I'm going for the HD, I'm not gonna skimp on getting a really worn out pair or something like that, so I think I'll keep them for now and get the 650s later on when I can afford a good amp. I ordered the FiiO E07K DAC to use with the Momentum, and I can use it with a dedicated AMP when I'll get the HDs too (such as the E09K or something). | ||
