I need YOUR help!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Alright the reason why i came to you guys, I recently started to look for a pair of pretty decent quality headphones, and that's when i found this site. So i decided to join and ask your opinion on which headphones i should buy.

 

I like good sound quality but I feel like I am also a little cheap when it comes to speakers and headphones. I not a complete noob when it comes to all this, i would still say i know very little compared to everyone here. Right now i own a klipsch 2.1 sound system for my computer, which i think sounds pretty decent for the price, but when its late i still like to listen to music loud, by my earbuds (klipsch s4) dont do the trick.

 

So i'm in the market for a new pair of over the ear headphones, and im trying to spend around 100 and i really can't go too much higher. I noticed that people here are really into the m50's but right now on amazon they're 150 new, 120 used (im not that into buying used stuff anyways). So it is a little out of my price range. I also noticed people talk about the 750dj's, but what turned me off about them was that a lot of people complained about the build quality and comfort.

 

So if anyone could suggest a pair of headphones for me, that would be great.

 

I'm into mainly soft rock and classical, so i like when highs are crystal clear. but I still love to occasionally listen to techno, house and dubstep, and i really like when the base has substance behind it, and not when its muffled. So i dont know how easy it is to find a pair that can do both.

 

anyways im open to anything, and thanks for the help in advanced.

Creative Aurvana Live! ($60 -90): Rebrand of the discontinued Denon AH-D1001, a headphone that was a budget champion at around $100 from years past. Now it has been brought back and improved upon in the form of the CAL!. If you can find this headphone for $70 or less, it is likely the highest quality choice. Warm sound with a bass emphasis, good bass extension, lively highs and good balance. Less isolation than most closed headphones, isolates about as much as the semi-open Superluxes. Very comfortable. Price fluctuates a lot.

 

Koss Pro DJ100s ($80): Bass emphasized DJ headphones. Average comfort and isolation. Very forward mids and very clear vocals. Above average soundstage for a closed headphone. Coiled cable. Requires a very good seal for bass. Lifetime warranty.
