recommend me some good head phones. currently i'm having some sony mdr-v500's but i think they are quite shit. i don't like the sound of them. i had some vivanco head phones (sr-606 or something) but they broke. they were cheaper then these sonys but sounded muuuch better. what are your experiences? |

I've been looking for some new headphones too. I'm thinking about getting ones. Most all of the reviews I've read for them are excellent and the price is about what I'm willing to pay. I'm just afraid they're a bit too stylish. |

head phones are just an idea you cant really have them yo. |
||||||||
|
|

|
they look cool. but do they sound good? i bet the RS-1 sounds good though. |
||||||||
|

whot? |
||||||||
|
|

i'm quite happy with my akg k240: |

Grados are the most uncomfortable phones I have ever worn. Sure they sound great. But,...I have the in-ear er-4 etymotic. THey sound even better. Totally isolated, but putting them in my ears is a totally pain. Such a ritual. I was thinking of getting some standard sony's. they were the most comfortable. That, or get ear molds done for the er-4's. |

Get some AKG K240's like easterlingman said, they're pure sex. Bogala: Your avatar is just like what I get in my vision when I get migraines, it makes me pretty nauseous as a consequence as well. |

wotcha gonna use dem forez? |
||||||||
|

|

yeah, what are you gonna use them for ? =D looking for as honest sound as possible (studio headphones) ? or perhaps you want "good sound, fat bass or something" (hifi) ? and how much are you planning to pay ? I dont have much experience with hifi headphones (at least no good experiences...) but I know that studio headphones are really really cheap nowdays.. ´myself have two pair of akg's, k171 and k271. happy with both but the 271 ones have a bit of an better frequency balance and the stereo image is awsome imo. |

im no audiophile but I got some mid/low priced sennheisers and they are perfect |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i like my koss porta pro. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
basically i will use them for listening to music and for music making. i'm not looking for portable style walking around in city looking cool type of headphones, but i want nice sound inside my head. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes x 2 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try one of the open sennheiser ones... hd600 or hd650... btw, how much money do you want to spend? |
||||||||

Sennheisers are laid back in sound. I've listened to the Grado SR-80's that -V- recommended and it is quite different. Very transparent;like sound coming from thin air. You won't get good bass extension on those though. To get powerful bass with Grado's you'd need to spend a bit more, probably more than the top of the line Senn. Beyerdynamic I've heard has headphones that can compare to the best of Sennhesier. I have Sennheiser HD-600's. They were the top of the line Senn. for about 10 years before the HD-650 was made. I went with them because the 650's have a couloured sound due to an accentuation of mid-bass. 600's are flat response and suitable for production/mixing (though I don't). In the future I would like to try out some other headphones, probably Grado RS-1's with an amp; many times more spendy than the HD-600's so it won't be for a while. On the phones I got Sennheiser has a minimum advertisable price set for dealers, so the lowest advertised price is $350, but online shops will often have an 'e-mail me a lower price'. I got them for $280 from Headroom. |

I would really like to try these but there is nowhere local that carries them. |

i have grados sr80's. They sound class but i wouldn't recomend them for music making, i don't think their response is flat, they are open too which is a pain if you actually want to wear them out since you sound like a ghetto blaster and look like a helicopter pilot from MASH. Sennheiser seem to be considered the standard i think, MX500's are exceptionally good in ear headphones i use loads. |

i've been looking at headphones because mine broke one on (that's what you get for buying £25 Sony ones!) those Beyerdynamics seem to be great, especially the frequency response. i think i may just end up saving up for some of those. thanks everyone who posted - i was so close to actually buying the Sony MDR-V700 MkII headphones, but i think i'm gonna invest in decent headphones :D |

hahaha had to post this...comin straight from a PDF by Beyerdynamic: "In 1950 for instance there was a public demonstration of artificial head in Bremen, Germany" |

you can't go wrong with Sennheiser. i have these, and they're the best i've had: hd 457 or 450...not sure. |

i`ve got sennheiser HD25SP1. They are quite ok. (around 1500NOK at tre45) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
those are very good for portable things at least... |
||||||||

another vote for the AKGs... 2 years old and still amazing |
||||||||
|

Grados. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, good for production and djing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they're a universal portable headset recommendation; if someone asks about something for a portable thing, say "hd 25!" hd21 has a low ohm and really good sound even on "small" sources like an ipod or something... if they don't want that, grado sr 60/80 are the secondary recommendation, as they have a lower ohm and are generally more comfortable... they're about equal in sound quality, though, I think... |

Beyerdynamic are THA BEZT |

i just got a nice cheap pair of koss in-ear sportclip ones that don't fall out when you're running. yippee |
||||||||

If they're going to be plugged into a proper Amp or mixer, rather than just a soundcard port on, say, a laptop, the Sennheiser HD-25s are great. Closed back and probably a bit overkill unless you're really into production and DJing. They sound bloody awful with MP3 players/psp/gameboy/etc. though, due to the resistance of them. |
