Don't have the Beyers anymore. It seems hard to find a pair of headphones that have light clamping force, nice large/deep circumaural earcups and good for EDM.
|
Is there a list of recommended peripherals like there is for the monitor thread? What's the best sub-$100 IEMs out today? I'm using a cheap pair of Sennheiser CX 475, which sound nicer than generic ipod earbuds, but am interested in investing in something better.

Awesome thread.

Why would you buy it before asking whether or not it's good?

Cause I can turn it back to the store If i find out that its not worth the price ive payed, or better alternatives 30 days return policy :D

Still looking for headphones:
Budget - £150 GBP ($230 USD)
Source - Computer with Asus Xonar DG sound card
Isolation- Prefer sound not to leak much if possible
Type - Full-size circumaural headphones
Genres - Dance, trance, dubstep, rock, pop, kpop ^_^
Uses - 80% music, 20% games (FPS, RTS)
Priorities (Highest to lowest) - Sound/comfort (I have a big head, big ears and wear glasses T_T), isolation, portability
Previously tried - Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 (Slightly clampy and sounded distant but earcups are most comfortable I've ever tried) & M-Audio Q40 (Less distant sounding than DT770s but clamp was awful for me even after stretching)

Hi I am looking for a new pair of headphones.
Budget
about 100$ possible up to 120$ if a good deal but i would prefer not to spend more
Use
I play starcraft 2 only but dono't use in game sound so these are mostly for listening to music. I don;t care how they look I Just want them to be comfortable and sound good. I listen to a lot of electronic music and techno but I don't want overwhelming bass.
Kind
Looking for over the ear headphones and don't need noise cancelling or anything like that.

Hard to wrong with the ATH-M50

ATH-M50 look good. I saw that the M30s were only 30$ so i was considering those too. Does anyone have any experience with these headphones?

They were flavor of the month a few months ago. Got myself a pair. Very good. Pretty light overall, very comfortable (I wear glasses and the pressure of my ear on them doesn't hurt like most headsets), good at keeping sound out and very balanced for the price.

They're pretty good.
More DJ style headphones - if that's what you're looking for.
The ear cups are leatherish and after hours of playing became uncomfortable to me.

hi, looking for a headset/phones
budget: 50-75$
use: some SC, some CS:GO, mainly for gaming.
kind: doesnt matter. but dude might have oversized ears so no undersized earcups :D
|
hey, my astro a40s stopped working and dislike them so i wanted to take this chance to buy a different headset tomorrow (or order, i guess)
i really only use my headset at night so the sound doesnt disturb anyone and its usually around my neck when im on skype, otherwise theyre not used at all.
might buy steelseries siberia v2s or order qpad qh-90s
opinions on those two? other suggestions?
budget ~150
not really looking for a headphone/seperate mic but would probably buy Audio-Technica ATH-M50's if i was to
|
I'm looking for someone with some know how about amplifiers/pc sound cards/headphones/speakers that i can add on skype for a little chat
I've been contemplating which i should buy from the following options
1) Buy a dedicated headphone amp and DAC to connect to my already owned asus xonar dx.
2) Buy a asus xonar dx/creative x-fi titanium hd soundcard as they have a built in amp and dac
3) Scrap my old boring sounding logitech z5500 set and buy a good amplifier and 2 good quality speakers (something like this). This should give me overall better sound in my apartment, but i can also connect my headphones to it and have enough amplification.

So I just bought a pair of SL150s from best buy. They were on clearance ($90), sounded great, and felt comfortable; But what do you guys think about the price vs. value?
|
I haven't tried them, and I definitely don't like supraaurals so I woulnd't want one anyway, but they're supposed to be okay. They were on InnerFidelity a while back, so there's some data on the thing. Seems surprisingly decent.

If you could find a premium version of the DT770, that would be excellent for you I think.

Otherwise, the premium DT990 are also really comfy and a bit more controlled, but might be too sparkly. I certainly enjoyed them for EDM though when I had them.
Make sure you allow time for your ears to adjust to the headphone's sounds before saying they're too recessed though. ^^
