For a good pair of headphones you're looking at $200.00

Anything less than that you're just not getting the best sound. Then again, if you have crap 128kbps mp3's, a wussy Ipod and don't listen to cd's, go get a pair of $20. sony ear plugs **LOL**

I own JVC HA-DX3's which are the best JVC makes and are rated above par. Before these though, I bought a pair of Sennheiser 595's because of all the talk Bla Bla Bla and took them back because they wer total crap and had ZERO bass and bought the JVC's.

I've also owned Sennheiser 570's which also had terrible everything. I just smashed them against my desk I was so mad!

Here's a decent review site for Headphones

Come Hither !

You don't need to spend 200$ for great sound.

Examples:
Koss Portapro: $48
Grado SR-125: $129
Grado SR-90: $99

Ok guys, name the Headphones under $200. that are so glorious

 

[CorCentral]

Whoa', I just checked prices on my JVC's and thier down $80.00
Well I paid over $200. over a year ago. I also looked at Sennhiesers and noticed the prices have dropped alot in the past year.

For $120. though, the JVC's are a good bet.

so when you're spending $200 you're getting "the best" sound? lol

An alternative to the PX 200 is the slightly cheaper PX 100, having foam covered pads and is an open design unlike the PX 200 which has leather pads and is a closed design. The open design will leak out a lot of sound disturbing people sitting next to you, for example in an aircraft. The foam surrounds are not the ideal option for hot and humid climates and will certainly wear out much sooner compared to the type of pads on PX 200. Although I have not heard the PX 100, the general consensus is that the PX 200 has a much better midrange resolution and sound more natural whereas the PX 100 has a slight edge in terms of bass. My emphasis would always be on the quality of midrange as most of the music resides in that segment. I also do not like foam surrounds as they age much quickly and do not have a smooth feel compared to the leather pads. I personally believe the PX 200 a better buy, and that is why I opted for them.

i was especially interested in hearing a personal comparison of the PX100 vs. PX200's. do you plan on doing that in the near future?

hm... senn is good. they just need to work on the design of some of their stuff. like the px ..i think it should have a behind the head band since its for on the go. headband hair sucks.

The likelyhood on my doing a review of the PX 100 is pretty slim as there is no point in spending money on two very similar headphones. However, I have tried to provide the information on the difference of the two headphones based on my frequent visits of various audiophile forums and particularly of headphones in general.

The general consensus seems to be that the PX 100 has an edge over the PX 200 in terms of bass reproduction and that too very slight, but the midrange quality of PX 200 is certainly superior and that is what really counts as far as I am concerned, besides of course the difference in the design one being closed and the other open.

Since I have not heard the PX 100 I cannot give my own opinion on the difference in sound quality.

Thanks for your comment, appreciated.

Those gamer headsets are total crap compared to nice stereo headsets.

That's like comparing crap Sony or Bose speakers to Polk :roll:
Those of you that still think Bose is the all out best speaker...............'
Read and cry ya' Losers! It's a long read but you can make it!
