Sony MDR-7506. They're alright, but someday i'd like a pair
of sennheiser HD500s.

yeah, I forget the number... but they're sony ones, and
they're pretty good...

and yeah, Geogaddi with headphones on is awesome... I
listened to it on the drive home from the store in the car
and it was good, but it's totally different with headphones
on...

I just lie on the floor of my room with my stereo speakers
on either side of my head. Seems to be a reasonable
substitute for headphones ;)

The Microsoft Gamevoice headphones, nearly as good as a
reasonable pair of sennheisers in my opinion. Excellent Bass
for headphones and v. crisp treble. They're not very comfy
though ;-(

On Classical music you hear the violin players turning the

You wouldn't walk around town with these on though or you

are the Sennheiser bass heavy? How comfortable are they for
long periods?

wrecked. Sounds still perfect.

Sony MDR-101
Made In Philippines

"A live performance right between your ears. Perfect for
at-home use or traveling. Hear every bass note with the Sony
Acoustic Turbo Circuit and 30mm drive units."

$4.99 at amazon.com

i overpaid for them in an emergency headphones replacement
during my travels three years ago. the chord is
frustratingly short. they are finally starting to wear down
now and i will soon replace them.

impressive, eh?

I got Sennheiser 590´s open air, this is the best I had in
my life,

heavy bass and I can wear it the whole evening without
getting sweaty ears, I don´t even notice it if I wear
them...

so, yes they are very comfortable

yeah but i don't want them to be bass heavy :) I want an
accurate reproduction of the sound, rather than lots of
bass.

what do you think of these?

sennheiser

It depends on the music and the equalizer ofcourse, the 590
produces natural bass sounds

do you need it for homelistening?

yeah, just home listening and maybe on train journeys, i
really like the Bose triport, they look really nice and are
meant to be really light, small and comfortable... but from
a lot of reviews they seem to be overpriced. So i've been
looking for alternatives, i don't like the black plastic DJ
look of a lot of headphones though.

i listen to a WIDE range of music, electronica, alt rock,
ambient, classical, avant garde... anything really.

Points: 6796 Status: Lurker



for home listening I advise you to take open air, but if you
are on a train it isn´t a good choice
the weight of a headphone isn´t that important tho, you
need to know what the amount of pressure on your head will
be, most of the time it is in the statistics but it is best
to feel it

anyway, I can´t choose a headphone on the net, I have to
hear before I buy it...

I'm going to get some sennheiser HD250 II in a while...
right now I've got some old ones, but I've tested the 250II
in the shop and I also tested the HD280s.. they both sounded
pretty good, but with the 280s I couldn't wear glasses while
wearing them 'cause they were so tight. The 250s were nice
and soft on the ear... the only thing I've got as a setback
of the 250s are that they've been in business for quite some
time now, and I fear that they may be a bit outdated...
wellwell.. I liked them, so I think I'm going for them...
however, I don't really enjoy listening to music in
headphones as much as on the speakers (mostly because of
tinnitus) because you just can't get the same sound out of
headphones as a good speaker.

Sennheiser HD 497

It's about 70 or 80 € and you get a lot for it. Slightly
better sound quality than Koss porta pro, and the bass is
MUCH better

for me, the biggest problem with headphones is that most of
them makes my ears hurt after let's say 2 hours... haven't
found a model that's really comfortable yet

Sennheiser 590 is a solution to that

and probably a lot more of Sennheiser´s models

thats why i'm thinking about the bose triport's, from what
i've heard they are the most comfortable. I just tried one
out in the shop, really good sound and comfortable but
overpriced which is a shame.
