What Headphones you Own?

I'm using my iPod earbuds on my laptop too - they're great.

 

Urgh, I recommend you to get some new ones. Even a cheap, budget option like the Creative EP630. The Stock earphones that come with most DAP's suck. Badly.

 

Yep, I've heard that. Could be that I simply haven't experienced better sound quality, but I'm honestly satisfied - watching DVDs with them is much more enjoyable than with the built-in laptop speakers, that's for sure .

 

Sennheiser hd457 and some sony earbuds not sure on the model. The sennheisers really kick ass, and they've been working great for well over 2 years.

 

SteelSeries 5h V2

Previously: Icemat Siberia (broken)

 

sennheiser cx300.

 

Sennheiser PX 100

 

I think more specifically bluetooth headphones have been a common question recently in this section of the forums

 

shure e2 and e3
etymotic hf2 (for iPhone) with e3 silicone tips
the etys are very much worth the premium over other iPhone headsets

 

Oh god, the ipod headphones have no bass what so ever...
I can't use them anymore, I use the $15 skullcandy earbuds they work great, have bass, and cancel out sound.

 

I wouldn't get caught dead using either of them, except for to test them so I can have an unbiased opinion of them(I've tested some of the ibuds and some of the skullcandies, but I've never purchased any, nor will I.

 

It sounds like you might have a difficult time forming your own unbiased opinion

 

Shure SE530
Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro

I still need to get a portable amp and some real cans.

 

The Koss Portapros are the best value for money.

 

Define Value.

 

Bose In-Ear headphones for me

 

For MUSIC:
Sennheiser PX 100

For GAMING:
Steelsound 5H V2 USB

 

I have some nice Turtle Beach X1 Headphones

I game like a Pro

 

Steelsound 3H

not bad sound for price, but gets uncomfortable. I'm actually going to get a new one just because it hurts my ears when I wear them for too long.

I think we really need a "best headphone/headset for $" thread though so people like me will know what to get =]. It's really hard shopping for headsets because good and bad is different for different people so yeeaaah. That also means that having such a thread would be really hard, but if it's possible I think that's be great.

 

grado sr60s are actually more bang for their buck.

well right now i have senns 595s and shure 110s. grado sr60s coming soon and maybe some yuin pk2s if i don't opt for an amp.

and hopefully soon a behringer usb dac

 

I used to have a set of Sennheiser CX300's and they were great to me, loved the way they sounded, and in comparison to a pair of sony IEM's that were twice the price they still sounded better. The owner of the Sony's agreed with me.

They've since died after about a 2 and a half year use time, and I've moved on to a pair of Skull Candy INK'd earbuds. Definitely not my choice, but they do great for something that cost me $10.

 

You should just hit up ebay for a pair of the fake sennheiser CX300's they aren't as nice as the genuine ones, but they're the best 10$ headphones that I've ever found.

 

id rather spend the extra 15 bucks for some mx500s. i can't stand iems, theyre a pain in the sack.

 

Shure 210's ....

 

I hate IEM's but I hate buds even more. I'm yet to find some buds that will stay in my ears, they all just fall out.

 

Skull Candy- smokin buds
Bose- in ear headphones
Bose- on ear headphones

(yea thats what there called)

the skull candy are actually great for $30, the volume control is nice

the Bose earbuds are excelent, except the plug is weak, so now if its not held a certain way the right side doesnt work. but Thats my fault, i kept it in my pocket a lot, not in its case. but electric tape fixes this.

the Bose headphones are awesome, but the press on the bottom of my ear a bit. but thats not that bad, i can easily get over that once there on me for a few minutes.

 

BOSE: Buy Another Sound Equipment.

If u like Bose..u ll be swept away by performance of Sennheisers.

 

CrossRoads MylarOne X3
Audio Technica ATH-AD700

I like both of them quite a bit. The AD700s sound amazing, but the fit and design aren't as good. They have comfortable ear pads, but the design requires you to have a medium to large sized head for them. I don't consider myself to have a small head, and they barely fit me. I'd also like a replaceable cord for $100+ cans.

 

Can anyone recommend some good 5.1 surround headphones? Also, I was wondering - how good can surround headphones actually get. Ive never had any real surround sound setup, so nothing to compare to.

thanks ^^

 

IMO not such thing as a good 5.1 headset/headphone.

Forum Search it, its been talked about before and everybody agrees stay away.

 

Ya. Headphones that claim a 5.1 channel..deserve a consumer Fraud lawsuit.

No such thing like that exists...

Soundcards & Sound processors are what give u virtual surround immersive sound.


for example: X-Fi

 

Hi.

I had a pair made by TRUST a couple of years ago, they were for online gaming, I got them from ebay for like £10.

I never tried them, as their was a large control box will a dozen wires coming out of it.

Regards

John.

 

okey, how about these? 4 speakers in each ear and only a USB connector. Sound card is in the cable remote:

these are especially for laptops apparently.
Would be used for gaming for me mainly, and atm I dont even have a 2.1 system set up

Thanks for your opinion ^^
