Headphones recommendation

Koki · #1 05-01-2007, 10:00 AM

I want headphones for listening music on pc, sometimes when it's late, you know, you can't just turn up the speakers and also I'm using Guitar Rig 2 so I want quality headphones. Any recommendations?

Just go to Target and get the $30.00 Sonys. They work great. I even use them for studio jams.

Are you looking for IE's or Cans?

IE's I like the Shure E2's....about $100

Cans...Sennheiser HD 280 pro...about $100

+1 on the sennheiser, they may be a bit expensive, but they sound really good. Get a pair of those, and you will hear sounds on your favorite records, you never intercepted before.

I've got an old pair of Sony MDR-V600's and I think it's pretty good. They're cans if you were wondering, so much more comfortable than anything in-ear. They've got excellent cushioning for comfort and very good sound quality.

I'm gonna be traveling around a lot by Amtrak and the Dog (Greyhound) this summer. I have a cheap pair of RCA "noise cancellation" headphones but they're crap. I don't even think they work anymore. How would one of these fancy pairs hold up against the Diesel roar? I know that on the city bus my noise canceller thingies never did much... you'd still have to crank the volume so that your ears would be ringing by the time you stepped off. I wish I had one of those Bose noise cancellation headphones... but... $$$, and I think those were made for people who fly business class or who ride the subway for three miles from one part of Manhattan to another. Us poor slobs on the bus, especially in southwestern cities like Las Vegas that don't even have subways, are another story!

The Sennheiser HD 280 pro are a really good set of headphones. I recommend those.

If you do a search for reviews in google I think you will find that they are consistantly ranked high.

try http://www.headphone.com/ and go through the selection guide to find out what suits you best. then i advice you to trust the value rating to narrow your search. good luck!

Consider the Grado SR80 for a tad under $100. To me, they're much better for just straight music listening than the Sennheiser 280s.

I've been using these recently...

not at all bad for £10 - not groundbreakingly amazing, but pretty damn good for the price.
