Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones

[Alex Hall]

Thanks again, everyone, for your thoughts. I really wanted to go for the 
Senheissers, but that sale was gone by the time I tried to check out, as I 
said. I just found a sale on Senheisser HD 380 Pros, though, $99 instead of 
$199 on Amazon. I hadn't heard them mentioned, but I figured Senheisser is a 
good brand, and these had 4.4 out of 5 stars. They are also the ear cup design 
I wanted, and even have a replaceable cord. We'll see how they are once I start 
using them.

Hi,

If your looking for over the ear, and something you can just wear for a long 
time in comfort, I recommend the Sennheiser Momentums. I’m using them right 
now, and absolutely love them. The ear pads are extremely plush, and the band 
is made of titanium. Very good build quality hear. And, the cable is 
detachable. You also get a cable with a mic and playback control for Apple 
devices.

Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones

Sadly, the deal was gone by the time I got to it. Trust me, it was all I could 
do not to punch a wall. 

Now, it's between the Sonys and a set a friend swears by: the Grado SR80E. Both 
are similarly priced. The only hesitation I have with the Sonys (which another 
friend loves) is that reviews say they are studio monitors. That's great for, 
well, monitoring, but it makes them (according to the review) sound flat and 
not as good while gaming or just enjoying music. The guy I know who uses them, 
though, says they work great. Needless to say, I'm desperately wishing I could 
try all these in person, but that won't happen. Any thoughts? I'll have to pick 
one or the other today… Thanks for all the help so far.

Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones

[Aser Tolentino]

If long-term comfort is a priority, Sennheiser's higher end headphones are the 
way to go, their ear cushions are ridiculously soft. The MDRV6 has replaceable 
ear pads, but I'm not sure about the cord. I'd say the Sonys would be a good 
bet at that budget and for the application.

Great point, I hadn't considered that. So it looks like Sony and Sennheiser are 
the favorites. I'm avoiding Beats, because they're just over-priced, but are 
there any other brands/models people like? I'm headed to Best Buy today to have

Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

Another thing to consider is longer-term investment. About 15 years ago 
I bought some nice high-end Sennheiser studio headphones after years of 
going through cheapie sets. They sound great and are super comfortable 
with a hard outer shell which blocks a lot of noise. I guess you could 
find that in any manufacturer's headsets but what pro ones have is 
replaceable parts. About four years ago the pads which go around my ears 
were starting to come apart and I was able to just order a replacement 
set making them like new again. Likewise about a year ago the cord 
finally started making intermittent connections after so many years of 
be pulled and folded. Ordered another cord and was able to replace it 
(each ear has a small plug). So I probably paid about $200 or so back 
then but I really have no plas of ever buying another set of headphones 
as long as Sennheiser keeps making parts available.

speakers are gone and those around the cups are falling apart. 
Needless to say, they are pretty uncomfortable to wear for more than 
an hour or so.


I'd use them for music, audio editing, and audio gaming, so I want 
something comfortable for hours on end and of good sound and build 
quality. Here are the things I'm looking for:


* under $100, if possible
* high quality build, good sound
* comfortable for extended use
* wired connection, preferably 3.5mm
* Only one plug - no use having a microphone plug since my Macbook 
only has one audio jack
* noise-muffling, though true noise cancelation is not necessary 
(basically, I don't care about hearing sounds around me with these)


I think that'll do it. As I said, I'm not waring these while out for 
a walk or carting them around, so they can be big and block ambient 
noises. My Aftershokz are great for use with my iPhone, but for real 
audio on the Mac, I want something good that I can wear for a long 
time. Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone has.

Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones

[Alex Hall]

Thanks guys. I looked on Amazon, and the Sony ones are $85, but with 4.6 out of 
5 stars and nearly 1800 reviews. Given that both are within my price range, 
would you say the Sennheiser or Sony is better? I'd love to have the quality of 
the Sony pair, but I'm a bit worried that they'll bring out imperfections in 
game audio I don't currently hear. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I've 
never used a high-quality set of headphones except for stage monitoring while 
playing with a band. Might the Sony headphones reveal things about my audio I'd 
rather not know?  I can only get one or the other. Plus, as I said, I 
have to be able to wear them for hours at a time with minimal discomfort.

Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones

[Aser Tolentino]

Hi Alex,
For audio editing, I use around-the-ear headphones, Sony MDRV6s, that sound 
great. They have a reputation for having a sound that doesn't mask the 
qualities of the original audio source. I wouldn't exactly call them mobile 
headphones, though they do fold up for transport or storage. For something a 
little lighter, I'd recommend the Sennheiser PX200, on-the-ear closed cup 
headphones. Sennheiser makes these with an in-line remote and microphone for 
use with iOS devices and Macs. Both are more towards the top of your budget but 
well worth it in my opinion.

Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones

[Pete Nalda]

I like my urban ears headphones that I got at the Apple Store there the over 
the  ear type kind of like beats,  but they are a little bit more retro 
looking, looking sort of like headphones used to look in the 1920s but way more 
comfortable and the bass, is freaking awesome! And they fold up too!

Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones

Hi Alex,
It all depends on your price range. I'm a huge fan of Senheizer headphones, 
Sony's are nice too.
Of course, if you really want to get expensive, Bose headphones, or even Beats 
by Dre.

Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones

[Devin Prater]

I am too. I’m just gonna use EarPods, I suppose. I just have to see which 
provider I use for an iPhone. I’ll have $100 for Christmas. Sorry if this gets 
even more off topic. I’ve used a logitech usb headset for at least a year or 
so. Headphones always break in my hands in a matter of months, or weeks.
