Reply With QuoteWell, ive got Sennheiser HD202. I find them to be pretty good.
What headphones do you folks use
My Sennheiser HD203 broke so I replaced it with Audio-Technica ATH-M30.
It got good review so we'll see once I receive my order.
I've never purchased headphones more than $50 in my life.
I know some people that are crazy and spend $1000s on a single pair of headphones.

Poverty headphones !!Originally Posted by PEMM
I've used two pairs of Sony MDR-7509HDs for years but I'm starting to not like them. They're over ear (which I like) but the ear pad covering is VERY thin. So thin that after several years of 5 o'clock shadow, at times, it's started to wear the covering to where it's starting to flake away. PITA. Granted I've had them both for over a decade but still. (They redesigned them at one point so they look a bit different. Have never done a side-by-side test.) They do sound great and have a coil cord (which I like sometimes and hate sometimes.)
Astro A40. My ears are fully sexed when I use them every time.
A few $100 is kind of the miniumum for an actual good set of headphones. This is also affected by the source/setup.
These are my home ones, running through a DAC and Headphone amplifier to my PC
Denon AH-5000 with some custom bits.
Ipod with Rockbox OS setup, Shure SE530
I have Sennheiser HD 555. They are great!
Plus I have a pair of Sennheiser PMX 680 for the gym.
Well, I was about to buy expensive headphones, but then i realized I could use the money on beer instead.
My ears deserve the very best.
I have terrible luck with headphones so I always go cheap. No need for me to buy expensive.
i used a pair of $4.00 sony on the ear headphones for about 10 years. they recently broke. i bought a $50 pair of wicked headphones on which the connector broke the first day i owned them. junk. i went to walmart and bought a $20 pair of sony MDRzx100 over the ear headphones. Cheap, built like a rock and better quality sound than the more expensive Wicked and Dr. Dre sets i looked at. From now on ill only buy Sony headphones.
Personally, i think earbuds suck. Low quality sound, no bass and really annoying to get to stay in your ear. I prefer old style over-the-ear ones.
Cheapo earbuds will never have as big of a sound as actual headphones. In Ear Monitors are another story but are still their own sound. Brightly colored products doesn't mean its good.
Comparing earbuds to overhead headphones is a comparison of apples to a pineapple.
Some of these foldable beats.
Logitech G35. Good sound quality and built in mic with good software. My old Sennheisers were better, but they fell apart.
AKG DT150 closed back studio headphones. Easy to fix if they break, built like a tank and sound brilliant
