So for about three months now i have looked all over, At brands like Sennheiser, Audio - Technica, And Beyerdynamic, But I'm not sure what to get... I really only want to spend around 10 - 80$ on a pair of Stereo Headphones, Beautiful bass, Crystal Clear sound, And does not require a DAC or AMP, Maybe someone can point me in the right direction so i can make a comfortable purchase?
I own a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 Pros. I can recommend them for you and they are only about $90 on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-280-Pro-Headphones/dp/B000065BPB
get the next model up of whatever he said ^
boom!
Anything other suggestions ?
Please dont expect anything fantastic from 90 dollar cans. They wont be "Audiophile" headphones (God i hate that word) If you could wait like 3 months and get DT 880's or Meze 88 Classics. The price will make you want to puke, but completely worth it. Waiting on my 88's to get here. Ive used DT 880's before.
Hmm... Little more then i want to pay... I think the absolute most i will pay is 200$, But another thing, i would most likly be getting them online, And returns suck... So i am very... Paranoid making a big, And new purchase like this ONLINE and not being able to return them if i do not like them...
Depends on what your listening habits and expectation level. The more you spend, the more you expect and usually end up getting what you paid for. That said, I definitely think there's around a $150 sweet spot for good mid-end headphones right now. At that price, most of the offerings from Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, even Sony are all solid choices. I've used Sony MDR-7506's at work for years now and they're kinda cheap and generic looking, but it's become standard for me at this point. Have a pair of Sennheiser hd598's at home and really like them for my media consumption.
Well, I mainly play ALOT of games, As well as Liston to music such as Dubstep, Orchestra, Game Mixes, And Movie like music ( The Epic sounding ) as well as ALOT of Teamspeak so i am constantly talking to my friends, So basically i guess i am looking for an All - round pair of Audiophile Headset.
Creative Aurvana Live! They are "fun" headphones ( have emphasis on bass and treble with recessed mids), and should do well with dubstep and movie like music. I dont think they will have any problem with Teamspeak, Skype etc.
