i kinda need help..i wanted to get BOSE, but i saw all the bad reviews on it...any help please?

[jcrdude]

Really? BOSE got bad reviews? Where does this data originate? I've heard nothing but good news on BOSE

Also, if BOSE doesn't tickle your fancy here:

Try the Sennheiser brand (They seem to fare well in reviews)

Theres a saying in the music industry

Crappy mids muddy lows sounds like shit, must be bose

hehe


They're okay, I have a pair and to be honest you can't really go wrong, just bare in mind that everything sounds pretty with them.. Your best bet is to go and listen to a pair of em.. Any apple store has a great selection

Bose stands for "Buy Other Sound Equipment". They're not TERRIBLE but they are terribly overpriced.

Anywho, for entry level headphones, there's the Sennheiser HD280 which is even cheaper than before and around 70ish now (I'm assuming you're DJing or studioing).

But honestly, if you want a better opinion, I used head-fi a lot (which is an audiophile forum full of headphones geeks ). Try giving them a ring.

I whent to a bose store last year. Blew my mind.

I got a sennheiser pair (idk the model anymore) and they're pretty good.

Skullcandy DJ headphones are good too.

Shures or Sennheisesr is way to go.

This site helped me a lot with research. I actually purchased my first pair of "high end" headphones today. This pair fit my needs best, being that I will be using these while studying in a quiet library. Most of the higher end stuff will be open-backed, meaning that you cant turn it up a whole lot before people around you in a quiet environment will be able to hear your music also. This is good in a setting such as the subway or while walking to keep you aware of surroundings, but that's not for me. Also, you may want to look into headphone amps. They are pretty small but apparently can make all the difference.

I actually have a pair of the Denons on my head right now

Anything better than a Sennheiser HD595 will need a headphone amp to be properly driven. So I would go with the HD595's if you don't want a headphone amp.

Do you have recommendations or experience with headphone amps? I'm somewhat experienced with the car audio side, but just entering the HT/personal audio side.
