For home listening. I don't want to hear anything else than the music and there's a lot of street noise where I live. I don't especially want to blast the music very loud, so I want quality at low volumes and at louder volumes if possible. I want them to be quite comfortable (consider that I wear glasses). What do you advise ? I already have sennheiser HD-437, which were very cheap. the sound quality is not very good and I can hear the surrounding noise as if I didn't wear them ! Anyway it is a good quality/price ratio imo. |

I've had the worst luck with headphones this past week. My current best (and loudest) lost sound in one ear due to an accidental tug, my next pair got hooked to a door hinge and ripped the cord apart, and now I'm using airplane headphones. |

you can buy headphones that actually record noise and playback the reverse frequency in real time so you can't hear anything. (i hav't come across any that play music aswell though) these are $100AU for the cheapest model, and i;ve seen them for upto $700 |

wow that sounds awesome !! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sennheiser 595s... open model, though, so i guess you're SHIT OUT OF LUCK. 650s if you feel extra fancy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Ok, buy some! :D |

|
Are these better than sennheiser 650? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sennheiser HD600 seems good, what do you think ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at least comparable, I would say that slightly better and more comfortable for sure. the 770's are very very good in terms of isolation from the surroundings and are often used by drummers in recording studios. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are the 990 less good in isolation ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i use cheap panasonic headphones, couldn't advise you much mate |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I made a little mistake: , . might be the best choice for you. (closed, and with silk ear-pads [?]) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What about AKG ? or should I get a HD25 for good isolation ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Other question : sennheiser HD600/HD650 what are the best ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're going to need a headphone amp to go along with those. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Both of those are open headphones, Combo. Sennheiser's best sealed headphone is the HD280 Pro |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can't I plug this on my DJmixer ? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
What do you think of beyer dynamic headphones ? DT880 seems awesome but it's not close is it ? what about DT770 ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Beyerdynamic DT 770 looks a bit better, but it's also twice as expensive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Grado SR-60 are real nice too., |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
These ones seem awesome : |

|

Well, actually It would like to put them on my ears, would it work ? |

dunno! |

Well finally I ordered the AKG K701. =) Can't wait !!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good choice on the AKGs, I've got the 240s model and they make things all sound super sexy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hope they'll make me look super sexy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it is physically impossible for elmo to wear headphones. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
I watched Sesame Street (french edition) this morning during breakfast. =) Elmo sung a nice song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is the 'french version' just added subtitles? or is it dubbed? hehe gotta love sesame street :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well it's the same characters but they speak in french, all the texts are in french. the plays on words are french. The stories might be different as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I'm sure that headphone is great but it is an open headphone so if you "...don't want to hear anything else than the music and there's a lot of street noise where I live", then you might have a problem since it will not block out any sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually the characters must be a bit different. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, you are right, but most good quality headphones seem to be open. The DT 770 Pro and HD 25 are closed but they didn't seem as good as the AKG. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's true. if i was going to get a sealed heaphone i would go for an in ear monitor anyway. i am going to replace my sony earbuds (which the cable insulation decayed on) with etymotic e4-s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wrong |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll sell them to obara and get DT770 instead if there are too much disturbing noise though, don't worry! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How much u paid, dude? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
350€ |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Woah! And I thought mines were expensive... Congs, anyway! |

I'm a bit too broke to get a amp though. =( I hope my DJmixer will do the math. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
running off a portable source, yes, probably need an amp for louder listening, but from a receiver with a good phone out it should be fine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They received my cheque today and will probably ship my headphones today. WOOOOOOOOT!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheque?!?! Is that still in use? Must be cool to pay with cheques... |
