ford1001 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hello all, So I am looking to invest into a good quality headset to listen to music. I was looking at Beats but I hear the bass is all they really care about, with poor construction and breakages being often. Does anybody have any other suggestions as to what sort of headset I should get? I am looking for an over-ear headset btw.

Administrators Nathan Posted April 15, 2012 Administrators Share Posted April 15, 2012 Like a USB set for the computer? Do you also need a mic on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Nathan Posted April 15, 2012 Administrators Share Posted April 15, 2012 Ah damn, I have a bad ass pair for the computer, and only have ear buds for my iPhone, so no info here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist0682 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Same here.. I just use what came with the iphone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford1001 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Ahk, I had them, but then the speakers stopped working. I am using public transport more and more often, and was looking for some noise cancellation ones to block out the outside noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacko Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Beatd by Dre. FTW! You can get one at the low expense of your dream house in Paris! Seriously though, there's no way they can possibly be worth the at least $100.00 (after finding a fantastic bargain sale on them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryce12 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You can get IE2 or MIE2i headphones from Bose. They are not cheap but then you would probably never complain about your headphones again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmsben12 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I've heard a lot of good things from fellow audiophiles about Sennheiser Headphones specifically for listening to music. Amazon is great for reading the hundreds or thousands of reviews. Sort by highest and lowest. Personally I love the Audio-Technica ATH Series. I use them for watching movies in surround sound. They sound fantastic. Lately I've been using them for music too. The only drawback is no noise cancelling, so anyone around you can hear what you're listening to. Another positive would be price range. The cheapest in the series still has great quality sound. Again, the reviews on Amazon are great for finding out the pros and cons of headphones.

offspringftw Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 You'll have to be more specific. Are you looking for in-ear headphones or on-ear/over-ear? Also do you prefer bass over clarity? I know that Sony produces a lot of good headphones and earbuds, whatever you want to call them. I would never go with Beats by Dre. They are way to overpriced and not even that good. People only use them because they are popular, they follow trends. I would go with Sony's products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtinguish Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I recommend you get a pair of nice bose noise canceling headphones. Yeah they are 300$ but they are well worth it. They are really comfortable and the quality is amazing. They're great for plane rides as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljepilo Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 You may check out MEElectronics M6-BK Sport Sound-Isolating In-Ear Headphones.These are solid performing earphones at a reasonable price. They fit comfortable in your ear and do seem to help diminish outside noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHiLL Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've had a pair of Sennheiser CX300-II, and they were excellent. They are in-ear / ear canal headphones, as opposed to over-ear. Great noise cancellelation, and good bass. Not too much, but just enough. The only reason I don't have them now is because the wire broke in the left earpiece. But that was because of excessive movement (at the gym on running machines, etc), not because they're poor quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Erb Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Don't get Beats! They are over priced. You can get much better quality for the steep price tag. Sennheiser makes very good headphones, take a look at those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably around August/Septemberish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
