Its sticky so that new(and old) people can read up on headphones(hopefully, answering some of their questions without posting).

Talking April Fool's Joke...

I recommend the Sony MDR-V### series 'phones! They deliver strong bass, clean mids and non-fatiguing highs compared to the old V6/7506!

HAHA!! April Fool's!!!!!!

^ People shouldn't even joke about that, lol

I recommend the Alessandro MS series (MS-1, MS-2, MSP).

I'VE HEARD NOTHINg about the stax brand phones... i was just a little curious as to why? (not challenging anyone... i'm actually just curious.) man i was looking all over the place for the omega 2 007's or whatever they are... and they sound like they'd probably be the best for detail... the orpheus just had a more plush sound apparently... but the orpheus includes and amp... and what's up with that plug on the stax?

You must try Bang & Olufsen A8 earbud. It has both bite and air, a wide sound stage with a depth to match, sparkling treble, an authentic bass that does not cloud the other tonal ranges.

All my other portable phones are NO match for it, they include: Grado 60 (sounds remote, artificial and muddy), Senn MX500 (restrictive and muddy), Sony MDR-E484G (my first real earbud, an old love, but sounds likewise vague and lacking dynamic range in comparison), Sony MDR-D77 (B & O leaves D77 behind by a very comfortable margin, again lacking in transparency and out of focus).

I am still using Senn HD560 Ovation at home, bought 10 years ago. I believe HD600 will be a big improvement. Likewise also want to try out Sony MDR-3000CD and the little Etymotic. But a Stax will be the ideal phone, the only problem is money.

I use Sony D-777, produced at a time when sound quality matters, not anti-shock seconds or battery usage, which now seem to dominate the ads. What a pity, marketing guys are taking over the show from engineers.

This thread is a recommendation thread for 'phones that go for $500 or less...so Staxs aren't going to make the cut unfortunately. The high pricetag Staxs carry is also why people aren't talking about them like a dime a dozen. They're not readily recommended either even if you have the budget for Staxs, if the rest of your system isn't ready for them.

Default What about earplugs??

I see everyone talking about headphones, but only one earplugs, the Ety's. I have the Sennhieser MX-300 and am really cnsidering purchasing new ones. Does anyone have any opinions as to which are the best earplugs/phones (other than Ety's, they are too expensive)?
