Buying Headphones

[Sex Panther]

Anyone recommend anything good?

Noise-cancelling ones would be preferred. And what are the best brands?

Studying in Sterling Memorial at noon can be a bitch and I need complete silence. No way i'm wasting 15 minutes to drive back home.

Bose in-ear headphones FTW!

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I have a healthy respect for the pro reviews at znet. Try there.

might be out of the range, but I got the Sennheiser IE8 noise-canceling buds on a steal and I'm quite happy with them

are you guys working out with your earbuds? I'd be so afraid of breaking them.

I've had the Beats by Monster for a little over a year, best things I've ever heard. Since I got mine, Wheels, 'Tone, and 4 other guys I work with have all tried them and got themselves a pair. Unreal, the sound! My boy from Dallas who does the same thing I do for the Mavs had just bought the top of the line Bose and tried mine on...... no joke...... took his back and bought the Monsters the next day!

I have the over the ear.

about 300 a couple of years ago in Japan, or about what Best Buy wanted for some Dr Dre Beats phones. The IE8's were going for around 750 here at the time.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I liked the beats for over the ear, but their buds were not for me. I needed buds, so I'd been looking for awhile.

I didn't get a warm fuzzy with the Bose buds.

 

[THE HCP]

I paid $295 at BestBuy! They have them there for you to try them out!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

HCP, where did you get your set?

I'm looking for some in-ear and I'd probably buy the 'PowerBeats' in-ear phones from Dre.

 

[THE HCP]

BestBuy. 'Tone got the in ear and loves 'em. I'm used to the over the ear from my DJn' days.

Why the hell would you spend $300 on headphones?

Listen my little cracker suburban friend, come to the east side and I'll show you.

Oh no, I don't go to the eastside of Tualatin. That's where all the Mexicans live.

Shit is the bomb.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Wow, you guys really do define the average American consumer. Just buy everything that's mainstream, that's right! Bose, Skull Candy, Beats... You all belong to me now.

C'Mon man! You really think these can stand up to the Beats I own? Get outta here with this shit!

 

[Sex Panther]

What does everyone think about Bowers & Wilkins? And Bose?

I really don't want to spend serious dough on these, but i'll earn it all back really easy after school.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Bose are generally overrated due to their marketing over performance

Go for sennheisers.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I've got to say though I was impressed by skull candy in ear.25 bucks had a built in microphone.

^awesome place to buy headphones (or anything) custom colored.

 

[Sex Panther]

anyways, i'm still on the fence.

B&W P5, Bose QuietComfort 15, and Studio Beats By Dre are what i'm looking at.

No earbuds. They hurt my (tiny) ears.

 

[THE HCP]

I'm serious about the over the ear Beats! I used Sony's and Bose when I used to DJ and these are AMAZING! They sound like they have subwoofers in them, no joke! More then worth the 3 bills!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Go with the b&w
