Can someone recommend me a headphones?

| I just checked out Sony MDR-1A but it's a bit pricey.
So I need some opinions about headphones.
Can you guys recommend me something else?
Or MDR-1A is already a good choice?


| Yeah I have these. They sound good and they are good for outside use too. I would also consider ath-m50x.


| It also depends on what you want to use them for.


| I use Sennheiser hd 518s and they're pretty good, I found them for $50 usd but I don't think anyone has them that low at the moment

I just want a fullsize headphones to complete my audiophile set.
I have 1 in-ear, 1 earbud and 1 on-ear so I want to have a fullsize headphone.
Audio-Technica is on my mind too. I have tried ATH-M50x and they sound amazing.


| Both m50s and mdr1s are a solid choice. The Sony's sound a bit better imo but they are not foldable and you don't get a 3m cable for home use.


| I picked Superlux HD681EVO just because I'm kinda poor, but these turned out better than I could ever hope. One of the best picks for anyone with a tight budget, although this doesn't seem to be a problem for OP.


| Skullcandy Crushers, you feel the bass. Your head becomes the music, you feel it in your brain, your temples become the subwoofers


| $80 pair of headphones but its worth it, three weeks of using them and youll never listen to music the same again, youll crave how the bass makes you feel


| Yeah scullcandy are great if you want to listen to a lot of electronic music etc, metal or rap


| >>57584
Meh, hate it when the bass is overdone.


| They are prerty cheap as well. Only if you want to listen to something slower the bass is bit too overpowered.

Maybe that's just due to me being from a 3rd world country pretty much, but I wouldn't call $110+ headphones cheap.


| Yep that's exactly why I prefer flatter sounding headphones


| I use the Sony MDR-950XB, itssolid if you like bonus bass sound.

Problem is though is the swivel on the headphones can break if you abuse them too much(force them in the wrong position)


I got mine off of amazon for about 65EUR


| Yeah well price is subjective but when it comes to headphones you are pretty much bound to spend a lot of money cause every little upgrade in sound quality is soooo expansive.


| DT990 Pro are great
Not cheap, but they are worth the money


| DT 770 are the best for personal use imo.


| I use QC25's.


| I love wired headphones but I don't trust myself to not break them (counting about 7-8 broken...) Now I just use bluetooth earphones.


| >OPhere
How about Bose and Sennheiser?
Can anyone recommend it?


| >>58691
Most Sennheiser are :ok_hand:, I guess. No experience with Bose though.


| JBL Duet for music is good choice


| They're still little pricey still but my ATH M50x's have been good to me


| Sennheiser HD-201 if you can find it. Fairly cheap for Sennheiser's, lasted the longest out of all headphones I've ever had, really nice audio quality, the frame started falling apart, and that's probably my fault for not being gentle enough with it, but the audio on that one still works fine. Got a 206 as a replacement. The player you use matters too. Personally use foobar2000 but that's just me.


| Actually, didn't last the longest now that I think about it. The ones that lasted the longest were more expensive, but painful as all hell on the ears, and the audio went out before anything else. Those lasted like... 2 years, I think? Either that or a year and a half. And this is with constant daily use.


| Oh, woops, didn't read thread properly, fuck me. Ignore muh posts please.


| The reason that I want to lower the headphones price is because I want to get a dac/amp too.

I appreciate every posts because it give me more choices. :wink:

Alrighty. I think 206 is pretty much the same, but it seems like the ear pieces were a little tighter, but they might just have needed to be broken-in.
Can't really remember if 201 had the same problem when I first got it, but it fully covers the ears, which is what you want, right?


| Massdrop is doing a collab to produce the HD 6xx for $200. They have the same sound as the HD650s but slight build changes and they're much cheaper. There's 20 days left on the sale on their site
