Looking to invest in some quality headphones. Any recommendations? price range is sort of top of the middle of the range, i suppose - around £100 tops but preferably less. Enlighten me, oh knowledgeable ones. |

I got some nice sennheisers from I can't remember the model though. They're great. About £100 :D |

Wireless would be pretty sweet. But would that degrade the sound quality? |
||||||||
|
|

|

I don't know the answer to that. I don't see why it would. Although batteries could be heavily used. |

Cheers giginger. Would that be Sennheiser HD590s, perchance? |
||||||||
|

Checked on the site and they look right :D I'll check when I get home and post here. Check in the shop too. Try them on. They're always helpful in those places. |

Oooh you got new Senns then? :D Vletr: What are they for primarily? DJing, Studio Work or Just Listening? |

Yeah, Richer Sounds are one of my favourite chains. They seem to have a policy of not employing knowledgeless dicks who are full of themselves (unlike many hi-fi/gear stores). |

Headphones needed for production work (Fruity Loops + Sound Forge), especially mixing (although I am aware that mastering etc needs speakers), and listening too. Also, I am an appreciator of bass frequencies, and my current headphones are somewhat lacking in this respect. |

mine are really good Sony MDR V700 about $120 US |

i don't like the way those sennheisers look the last ones someone showed me looked like some headphones that would come with a turntable you bought in the 70s |

Ha ha, no one likes how Sennheisers look. This is how they trick people into buying similair priced sony/technics models- which sound utter gash in comparison! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh so their business moto is "let's hope people buy our ugly ass headphones instead of our competitions better looking ones"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I don't give a shit how good they look anyway. I want headphones for serious holed-up-in-your-bedroom-for-a-whole-fucking-weekend production geekery, not prancing around the city centre in my sunglasses listening to royksopp! |

If aesthetics are the overriding factor in you buying audio gear, fair enough, but I find it genuinely funny that people buy stuff for the look rather than sound. The thing is, £100 Sony DJing headphones do not even come close to HD25s (you certainly notice it if you play anywhere with a loud sound system) in terms of functionality (and no, this isn't a matter of "taste", it's a simple fact) and yet they sell loads, because: A) A lot of people haven't heard of Sennheisers, whereas Sony are a well known brand. B) People buy them because they look good. |

Cheers for the info Ceri. Been looking at the Richer Sounds headphones page: Sennheiser HD25SP £79.95 Sennheiser HD590 £99.95 Do you reckon the 590's are worth the extra £20? I'm quite poor at the moment. But goddamn, I love listening to Autechre on headphones. My own productions even more so. :P |
||||||||

I've used the HD25sp (sort of cheaper version of the hd25, still very good), but I've not used the 590s, so I don't know whether it's worth the extra cost (ask giginger, he has used both). Either would be great though. |

sehnheisser are often used in studios. they're fucking great headphones as well... get them! |

I just thought I should let this piece of info slip: according to a audiomagazine here in Norway, senheiser are planning on lowering the prices on most of their models. If you wait for a while, you'll be able to get them cheaper. bose: I don't trust that company.. they make those "surround with two speakers (speakers the size of an egg)" thingies. It's utter bullshit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, I don't trust bose either. They have shit ratings on Audioreview.com, basically I think they have an inflated reputation from the 80's, and they suck now. |
||||||||
|

The Bose "Wave Cancellation" thing on those does work (although it's not complete and utter silence). My mate has some and they're good for listening. |
