So I thought it'd be fun to hear what kind of headphones ya'll use, so post away.

Today I just got my MDR-V700DJ's. They sound bloody amazing. Also they about as loud as my speakers do... It's so sick. Rap and electronic music seem to be the best fitted for them. More to come as I listen to them.

These babies. They have a defective contact now though, after only 5 months of use ._.

Sennheiser CX300, decent enough for my use.

[Elindoril]

Just some Logitech USB Headset I picked up, nothing really special.

Yes, they are awesome

Paid $250 for them, broke in the first month. 3 year warranty and I still haven't returned them... (after 5 months now I think.) FUCK I'm lazy

Skullcandy Earbuds. The bass is great, and I can't hear the whining around me when I crank the noise without distortion. Can't say I've had a complaint yet.

Huh. Had that problem with Marshmallows, but no such bad luck with the SkullCandy brand. I've mistreated them for a couple months now and they're still working perfect.

imo dre beats are best but its a little overprice

I'm a person who takes care of her stuff, but still - my SkullCandies broke after not even half a year. Not sure if I can send them in since I live in Europe... there go 60 Euros down the drain.

Sennheiser HD595's for me. Best headphones available that can be driven without an amp.

[Bryan]

If I'm forced to use headphones it's Sennheiser. I just plug it into my home theatre system though most of the time.

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD555's at the moment.

I don't agree with that. Within reasonable price range, I think that Audio Technica's AD700's are the best non-driven headphone. I think they sound far better than the HD595's too, which cost significantly more. Sennheiser are a good brand name but that's pretty much what you pay for. Brand name. The cans are overpriced in comparison to other audiophile brands and in many, if not most cases in the mid-range ($140 - $300, don't perform as well as other cheaper branded headphones.

Skullcandy earphones for my ipod & skullcandy headphones for my computer. No complaints yet, love them both lol =p

[ThisisInsane]

Skullcandy Earbuds for me. Haven't failed yet, and still happy with them.

yeah beats are kinda overpriced. My headphones were 80(normally 150) and they get a better audio range than beats.

Skullcandy, they work nice and I'm happy with them.

I'm going to have to disagree with everyone about skull candies. I bought a pair of their over the ear headphones for like 50-60 bucks about a year ago and they sound like bloody tin cans. I actually think you'd get better sound if you took a piece of string and put it into your audio jack and connected it to a tin can...

If you're using skullcandies I suggest you go to a sony store or any kind of audio store and try out headphones there to see what you're missing out on.

you sound like you know what your talking about, I think I'll take your word and go check out other headphones.

In this technological world, you have to be flexible and try new things, and Im very open to trying new headphones.

I use these at home, usually watching movies or listening to audiobooks. They're very light and comfortable and don't squash my ears....but I've broken two pair They're just too dang delicate. I think the next pair I buy will be heavy-duty. I suppose I'm not as picky about audio quality as many people are, but wouldn't recommend them because they break so easily.


Out and about I use these:


They came with my Zune. Extremely comfortable in my ear for long periods of time and very good at blocking noise. The only problem is that they developed a cord hernia.

ah why thank ya.
skull candies are extremely poorly regarded in the audiophile world.


also to the poster above me, I love those zune headphones, they're not great or anything but they fit perfectly in my ear which is really important to me.
