Which headphones are you using?

[IronWing]

Apple earbuds mostly
Also have a pair of Kenwood walkman-style mini headphones circa 1985. Rare earth magnets were the bees knees back then. The replacement foam covers have disintegrated again so they are currently inoperable. I guess I could order some from Amazon. The headphones are pretty decent.

I also have a pair of Phillips earbuds but they hurt my ears.

Audio-Technica Air ATH AD500.

Very comfortable and good sound.

I'm rockin the audio tech m50x's these days and loving it.

I like my Sennheiser 598's for home use.

Anybody have a recommendation for some good bluetooth headphones, or maybe earbuds? something that I can exercise with! are beats worth the money?

My brother has jaybird bluebuds and takes them with him while mountain biking. He's constantly falling and rolling around in the dirt and they haven't given out yet. You might find this buying guide useful which also includes them in their list.

In my limited experience with beats, they are decent, but the bass is a little bit over emphasize - good if you like that - but I feel for the price you could probably do better.

Still using a Headroom Total Airhead (original 2001 model) and Sennheiser HD 495s.

trying out bowers & wilkins P7, enjoying them so far.

Anyone know of headphones that go over the ear, that have separate volume controls for left and right channels? I am mostly deaf in one ear. Otherwise I would probably only go no more than $50 for a set of headphones.

I have a few, but since I'm traveling right now, I have my Shure SE-535 with me. Love them.

Beyerdynamic DT700 are my favorite ones and sees daily use. I also have Sennheiser HD650 and Audio Technica ATH-A900X which I use sometimes.

Check out Noble's work, little pieces of art, cant wait until mine are done. I have been waiting over 3 months, the shells are done but there are still several days left for the build, then they still need to be shipped.

if the HD650s are in good condition and you ever want to let go of them, send me a PM

DT770 are alright, but I personally prefer the senns.

Grado has some vocal critics on this forum, but I loved the Grado SR80 I had before. I was planning to buy SR225 recently, but I picked up Sennheiser 558 on a Black Friday sale, this is what I use at home for music, gaming and other general purposes. I like them too, no plans to replace them. SR80s have left me with a strong preference for open headphones for home use.

A month ago I bought Bose QC25 for an airplane trip. I'm not a fan of Bose products, but their noise canceling headphones are held in high regard, and I tried them in the store. They are impressive in a plane for sure. They are not cheap, but I think they go further in improving flight experience than bumping up from economy to business class, so if I look at it like that, they're a pretty decent value.

We have a load of Sennheisers, most used MX400 and CX300 for music, Plantronics for headset use, all wired. I'd like to try some of the newer Sennheiser canal phones, but really have no issues with what we have.

Serious music goes on some big Klipsch, Forte or Epic series.

My K10 customs are done, now they will travel from Thailand to me. They are done with real Coral on the face plate, the part under the watch parts.

 

[RampantAndroid]

Westone 4s....awesome sound, awesome sound isolation.

 

[Muse]

Ditto. Although I find my phone drives the ER4S just fine for most songs (HTC One). Gotta love that Ety sublime detail.

The noise isolation got me through years of rooming with fratboys that were noisy all through the night.

Yeah, I originally got them because I was doing work that required intense concentration and I was in a cubicle in a company where people tended to be talkative. They are very useful beyond that, I knew from reviews that they are regarded as audiophile equipment. I've used nothing else for over 15 years, have 3 sets currently. They are pricey, but worth it to me. Aside from the stated advantages, they have proven to be extremely durable. I can't say anything like that for any other portable headphones I've had and I've had so so many. Throw in the great comfort and I'm not looking for anything else.

I have a pair of iHip headphones for iPad. They get the job done.

Dont think I want to know the price, but I hope you like them!

Price to me was $55.95. Thats $50 for impressions and $5.95 to ship the impressions. These the way they sit would be over $2200, with tax. But you can get into a set of K10 for $1599 + tax. The pictures look different than what the Coral I thought would look like. Until I get them, I am chalking it up to lighting.

Sometimes good things happen for being a good person.

 

[uhohs]

ok...

 

[Gardener]

In order of preference.

Audio-Technica ATH-M50S
Several pairs of Koss Portapros (I beat the crap out of them at work)
Sony mdrv6, a little too simbilant for my taste.

And I think the latest generation of Apple Earpods is very tolerable when I can't wear the portapros while pruning or running power equipment.

 

[artvscommerce]

Audio Technica ATH-A700X for closed back
Grado Labs / Alessandro MS-1 for open back

couldn't be happier!

I recommend the Grado SR-60 if you're on a tighter budget.

Sennheisers are great too.
