What Headphones do you Use ?

[Swag-in-a-Bag]

Everyone likes music, so which headphones do y'all plug in to your I paddies and Mp3's ?

I'm trying to decide which headphones to buy because I'm getting back into making music again, but i'm trying to figure out what looks/sounds the best because image is part of the battle of what makes a good Dj/MC, but quality crisp sound is also important

Also I'm not a huge fan of Beats by Dre (plus they're 2 cliche (and overpriced) and i find it funny that Snoop Lion had his own headphones back in 2007ish but i guess they didn't sell to well. I've been looking at these by SkullCandy and also these by Curtis Jackson

I also want the NINES but they seem pricey for somewhat basic headphones. They all look decent, but I don't know which ones to get ?

TL: DR: What headphones do Newgrounder's use for style points or casual listening ?

Both head phones are shit. Go to Head-Fi and get yourself sorted. I used Sennheisers passed down from my Dad. I plan to revamp my whole system soon with a DAC, Receiver and Speakers.

I've just always stuck with the earphones that came with my ipod Nano when I got it years ago. The music I listen to doesn't really require expensive headphones to make it sound better or whatever. I also don't think of myself as being particularly trendy so I wont spend a silly amount of money on these massive headphones people seem to think are cool now. In honestly, when I see people walking about with massive headphones I usually think "I bet that guys a dick". A little presumptuous of me, meybe.

You don't have to have ears to feel the music; Helen Keller still knew how to boogie to the beat

Hmmm. never heard I have to look into those; I'm turning my back house into a studio soon

Bose AE2. They're closed-ear and have crisp sound quality, but lack bass and sound like speakers that are covered up to give a weak sound. I only bought them cos I had gift cards for Target. Not sure if I regret buying them.

i use beetz cuz im hella thug yo!!!11 its worht the price cuz they so swag

[Dignatio]

For my computer I use Turtle Beach X12's. Extremely overpriced, and not that worth the cost.

I don't use iPaddies, or triPods

[Oolaph]

I use AKG K 240 Mk IIs, and soon I'll be getting one of those spiffy tube amps to power them with. I just need to decide on which one to get.

[Slint]

I have a pair of those new apple ones for when I go out, and then I got a yellow pair of K518-LE AKG's for the serious listening.

Sounds good, Man. You rap? I'll save you some trouble and just recommend these. Everywhere you go you will be recommend them anyway. Try to get a good Headphone DAC as well.

Not going to lie, those look nice but i bet they cost a stupid price

[Absurd-Ditties]

Sennheiser CX 400s that I got for about £15 ages ago. Still miss my old CX 300s, since the only difference is a volume control which means I have to make sure it's turned up before I start listening every time.

Thanks y'all good looking out, and do I rap ? No, not really, but I've been writing poetry for a while now and it's pretty much the same difference. I just like making music, but some folks think I'm a rapper so now i be like fuck it why not ?

I want to try a bit of everything before my time is up so I might give it a shot

I swiped some headphones from my school because they were going to throw em away even though they weren't even open. And I have those plugged into my computer.

As for what I use just walking around I don't use anything "fancy" or whatever. Just normal cheap earbuds that cost like $5.

I got these for 20 bucks through a series of fortunate events.

I'll be blunt, they sound nice. But they are not fucking worth $150 USD.

[BumFodder]

A pair I got for £30 and theyre amazing quality and clarity for the price.

[Sevkat]

lol I just bought a $1.50 pair from the dollar store and they work great for when I'm at work.

[TheColourAwesome]

Beats are shit. Sennheisers are classy as fuck with sound to boot. You really shouldn't look for looks over sound in any audio equipment but if you are at least get the best.

[Jakehinojo]

I use my Logitech G35 headset when listening to music, I only listen to music on my computer and I'm always on skype. Great quality, best $85 I ever spent.

[Gagsy]

I miss these headphones all the time. Best ones I ever had and they've been discontinued now. Annoyingly I broke them when out for a walk in the woods. Caught the wire on a close branch and it pulled until it disconnected the wire from one of the ears.

Now I just some Sennheiser earphones. Which I don't care for really, but they're just easy to carry round. I just want another neckband pair as good as the Sennheiser PMX200. But I've tried many and none match it.

:(

[Ragnarokia]

No idea, but they cost about £40 and have done the job, the only problem was they had a ridiculously small wire, but a cheap trip to ebay later and they got an extension which made them ridiculously long. Making them able to literally go anywhere in my apartment so i can still listen to stuff while cooking if I felt like it.

Perhaps the wire was a little overkill...ah well.

Don't recommend things you don't know enough about. Why are they worth $85? Do you run an AMP and DAC? Name other alternatives. What were your previous headphones?

[Boomstick]

Some Plantronic Headphones that I got for Christmas, they feel so comfortable and sound great.

I didn't recommend it, I said it was the best $85 I ever spent. At no point did I say "You should buy this!"

[Gimmick]

some cheap headsets.
