after good headphones

whats a good pair of headphones for listening to dvds through my tv as computer monitor at night? I currently use my $1 cd player ones but after something better. What can you recommend around $50aus max.

 

If you can afford it get bang and olufson(can't spell but google it) or get the sony earbud headphones get the pair closest to ur price because i have a pair of bang and olufson and sony their both amazing quality.

 

Hi.

I bought some SENNHEISER PX100 from ebay for approx £15.00 or $30.00 brand new.

The sound quality is fantastic, lots of bass.

Get anything but Creative... i bought Creative but they jus suck... their headband broke & their wiring starts coming out..

Buy Sennheiser HD270

I am also hunting for Great headphones... so i ll follow this thread

 

you actually have a lot of options for around 50 dollars for decent headphones.
some choices include
jvc marshmallows-20 bucks
jvc air cushion- 30 bucks ( around the same as marshmallow but with more detail)
shure e2c - 60 bucks
Koss portapro and the px100 are also good choices
grado sr60 - 70 bucks
altec lansing im716

what type of music do you listen to? it would help in narrowing down your choices

 

50$ is still in that "store brand" category mostly, once your willing to spend 100$ you can get some really decent headphones from audiophile brands that are well worth it.

Audio Technia A700 are what I use and they were worth every penny for both the quality I get to enjoy and the fact they are lasting much longer than any cheaper products I had in the past.

 

Audio Technica is Good...will check it out...thanks

 

koss ksc75 are exceptional for the price

 

OK well i listen to hip hop (ice-t, lupe fiasco, kanye west etc) and I also have my desktop extended over to my 19" lcd tv and watch dvds on that and will be using the headphones with that also at night.

 

the AKG k81dj's are a good pair of headphones for rap and hip hop. they are about 50-60 bucks.

if you want pretty good earbuds for rap, sennheiser cx300s have strong bass, though i hear its a bit uncontrolled.

 

I've got some Sennheiser PX100's and I'm very pleased with them. Some say they have to much bass but they're just right IMO.

 

Recommend me some headphones with Good Bass.

I listen to Trance, electronica & i do Remixing + Sound mixing + Video Editing + Movies

I am on budget... less than $80

 

the headphones i recommended for the op would suit you then since you want good bass.

 

If you really want some nice headphones that got some good bass then I'd go for the Beyerdynamic DT770's although they do cost 150USD and are 80ohm(smaller mp3 players may not be able to power them). They are some of the best headphones with alot of bass.

 

stay away from sony headphones they are poor quality for the price you would do better getting something in the panasonic line for better quality for less money ( but I would go for a higher quality ) your budget really limits you to anything of good quality bump up to something in the $100 - 200 price range if you are looking for good sound and if not go with the panasonic or JVC line fair quality for the $$

 

I have a set of Sennheisers. Forgot which model... HD-something or other. Retail is about $170 though, but they can be found for $100 US. VERY GOOD!!! And they can be worn for hours.

The bose headphones I've tried... dunno... they sound good for pop music I guess, otherwise they have this really fake sound to them. Hard to explain, but they're very blegh to me.

I had a great pair of sony's (MDR-700's I think) which aren't made anymore, but for about $50 they had really good sound, great base too).

 

you probably have the sennheiser 555s.

and one thing to remember when buying headphones
turtle beach is garbage
bose is garbage
skullcandy is garbage doused in ****.

and deadeyes, you can certainly get good headphones for 50-100 dollars. you just have to know what kinds to get (panasonic? wont be good quality...jvc has pretty decent quality though)

 

^^ it's better that you put in your recommendation rather than telling what not
coz i'm interested in this too
i've been using ipod's earphone for a while and the sound quality is starting to deteriorating

 

Depends on what you want, Ear buds? IEM's? Open Air? Closed? Its a huge market. For low budget phones I'd suggest Sennheiser PX100's except they are open air so you can hear the sounds around you, which may or may not be what you want. How much your willing to spend is a huge factor too.

 

Open air is not good for bass in my experience, great for gaming if your ok without the bass and great for classical music

I plan to get some AD700's down the road best sound stage I have ever heard.

 

i use Sony Ericsson's Walkman Phone In-Ear Phones.

I bought a separate 3.5 mm Wire to help me connect them to iPod.

The quality is Great but they are NOT headphones.

 

I have had some experience with high end headphones. In the past I've used Grados and I still think the SR-60s are a great deal, especially for the price. That's what I'm recommending for you if you like over-the-head headphones.

However, AKG makes some good over-the-head headphones as well but I don't think they are quite up to par with the Grados.

If you're looking for in-ear, I've sworn by Shures. Some may say they're overrated but I've had E2Cs since before 2000 and I'm still using the same pair. I've tried the E3C and the E4C as well but the E2C is still the best you can get for the price. Sound quality is good and I've worn them for 15 hour flights over and over.

If you can find the Shure E2Cs for your budget, go for it. If not, Grado SR-60s are your best bet.

 

It's funny to see the headfi influence here.

Be careful, once you realize how bad your sony/bose/apple headphones are, you will not be able to stop spending money.

I have about $5000 into headphones, headphone amplifiers, power conditioners, etc, now.

 

i don't have enough cash to spent like that, i'll be quite happy just to find my headphone or earphone is well enough just.
i'm thinking about the jvc marsmellow or some phillips brand, any comment on those?

 

the marshmallow is good quality for a budget, but for a lil more money you can get a lot more detail with the air cushion

 

I'm using Tritton's AXPC, got them for <80$. Great quality for listening to music, gaming, and watching movies. Though the limitation of USB connectivity might be a turn off for some.

 

Sony headphones are not "THAT" bad. I have EX90 and they sound pretty good for that price range. Sony also came out with new replacement for their EX71, which is now EX75. You can find a pair online for around $30 to $40 dollars. I got my EX90 for $60 and I am quiet impress with the SQ.

"ahemhem" coming from a Sony fanboy! hahaha

The guys at Head-Fi always say stay away from Bose headphones. I haven't try them before they said Bose is 90% marketing 10% quality.

I also agree with stay away from Apple IEM. I got a pair as a gift and I only use it once or twice. I have a feeling the apple fanboys is going to start a flame war soon.

I'm surprise no one said anything about "Ultimate Ears" . Their SF3 or SF5 suppose to sound pretty good compare to IEM in that price range.

I personally use Shure SE210 and SE530.

 

Among my headphones I have the superfi 5 pro. It is a good sounding IEM, a little bassy for my tastes, but it is more emotionally involving than most other IEM's, which is a must for me.

Killer bargains can be found on them nowadays too.

 

i actually liked the sq from ipod buds back in the day, though they broke way too easily. though besides my shures i use sony 10 buck buds so i can crank em up to full while i work and not care

 

lol... I don't think anyone in their right mind would say that the Apple IEM's are decent quality. Not even the most hard core mac fanboys.

those things HURT my ears. I can't stand to have them in my ears for more than 5 min.

My ferret decided to take the initiative and destroy them.

 

If your serious about music and/or general sound quality then I recommend, based on personal use:

Shure E3C
Ulimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro

I got my Shures thru eBay, my UEs thru ecost.com. I tend to use my Shure set for the laptop and music listening when I travel. I use my UEs whenever I can for music but don't travel with them because I'd hate to lose them. Customer support for UE is exceptional as well.

All the stock Apple earbuds (I have 3 iPods) were tossed into the garbage after about 30 minutes of trying them out with my first iPod.

 

Shure has upgraded E3C to SE210 ( I own both)

 

if your considering like se110/210, just spend the extra money and get the e4c.

 

Get whatever Sennheiser headphones you can afford, I think they start at arround $80. If you are in AU, I recommend going to JB. If you ask they always lower their prices.

I have to agree with you guys about Bose. I bought this thing couple of months ago, but I don't like the sound quality of it. Should bought other brand.

After looking through a bunch of review sites that deal strictly with headphones. The best bang for the buck would be the Koss PortaPro or the Sennheiser PX100 for around $50. You can check the reviews Here these people seem to be rather knowledgeable about these things.

 

I have to second the AT love. I have a pair of ATH-A900s that I really like, even though they're a bit above the OP's request, I just wanted to say that AT makes some quality headphones. I got mine from Audiocubes.

 

that site has some solid recommendations, but there isnt nearly enough choices they list for each prices, and they dont really go into much detail. head fi is the only real place to go for looking up headphone info

 

Sennheiser's all the way. The best headphone manufacturer ever

 

get a pair of mylarone X3. best phone for $57, could even compare with $100 phones..

one shop i get my mylar XB (extra bass version) = http://www.jaben.net/

also check out www.head-fi.org , TONS of information there

 

yup, best for rock imo. Mucc sounds awesome!

 

Yeah, but I hear the build quality of the Mylarone's isn't that great, and the drivers wear out after a couple hundred hours. I don't have any so I can't be certain, but thats just what I've heard about them.

 

I got Sennheiser HD205 today..

they are best DJ headphones under $100 you can get...

 

Besides being a Japanese product freak, Audio Technica is still the best headphones I have used and they are very competitive with price for the quality/design. I use A700's and plan to get AD700's in the future.

 

they suck !
go for HD595/555

 

lol..

have u even tried them?

I am using them for Sound remixing..

they are superb..

can hear real Lows so clearly..

 

you can get grado sr60s for 60 bucks.

 

yes, i've them

 

Go to "anythingbutipod" and check out their ideas. I use sennheisercx300s.
