Headphones

mooby · 11-30-2011, 08:21 PM

I've got two sets of headphones that I use equally and are pretty great. I have a cheap pair of earbuds that I use specifically for the gym that work fine, and I bought a pair of Sony-MDR-V6 cans that I use on roadtrips or anywhere else where I only want to hear my music in a loud environment. The cans sound way better than the buds, but both serve their intended purpose. I've had the cans for about 4 months now and I'm definitely satisfied with them, for 60 bucks they were definitely worth it.

Over the ear (not ear buds) and in either over or behind the head is ok.....

I've got two sets... my normal ones are the crappy ear buds that come with random mp3s players and they're actually pretty good (and disposable).

for loud environments (like uninsulated aircraft) I use my davis clarks... you can still hear people talking directly to you when the music is off, but outside that... silence. also free... well, except for the four year committment

Great stuff guys! I did not not know some of this stuff was out there.....

Beats by Dre but expensive

Good timing on this thread. I dusted off my drums and I'm starting to play them so I need a good set of headphones so I don't have to blast the music. I know my neighbors will be happy that I stop blasting the music but I cannot do anything about the bad drumming (not sure if drumming is even a word)..

you can actually get custom molded ear pieces... we do it all the time for musician in ears... very loud, very good response, but the custom molds are 300-500 or so and the shure headphones you connect them to can be up to 100 extra.

These are fabulous, my first pair were stolen this summer and I bought them again.

shure and sennheiser are always safe bets. that's actual pro gear, not imitation branding like bose or beats.

I've had a pair of Beats over ear headphones for about a year or so, I use them for business travel at least twice a month and they've not broken or had any issues whatsoever. I think the issues with durability at Best Buy has more to do with the knuckle dragging clientele than the product...

But at the same time the display headphones at Best Buy aren't really in a position to be broken. I mean they're stuck to that display so they never have to be stored in a book bag, duffle bag, or laptop case. People also aren't allowed to walk around with them and they're never exposed to the elements. Basically it's always a bad sign when an extremely controlled display model can't handle regular use.

Based on reviews I've read of the product you are very lucky and in the future if I ever decide to have kids I would trust you to baby sit them. In fact that should be the test for parenthood. How long can you keep a pair of Beats headphones without them breaking. One year and you reach platinum status.

With that said, little doubt they sound good. Though I haven't listened to them for more then a few minutes at a time. I imagine my ears would be ringing after a 2 or 3 hour trip from the bass response.

i do not babysit. lol. I hated paying that much for headphones, but i was trapped in an airport for a 5 hr flight delay one time and bought 3 dvd's and needed some. So now I'm very careful with those expensive bastards.

I got a pair of these a while back

They sound great and they won't break the bank, good value

I have ableplanet headphones....for what it cost you won't find better headphones out there. What I really love about them is that they run on pair of replaceable 3A battery and they work with or without noise canceling. Thier customer service is awesome too...I lost the cover for the battery compartment and they shipped it right over for free. Oh and they are better than the beats headphones.
