Best headphones for multi using...

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 

I have looked about a month which headphones I should buy, but it's too damn hard to decide so I'll ask your help...

 

Which headphones would be best for me I would be using them to listeng music from my Ipod Classic, use em in bus and in many public transports... I would also use em in home to watch anime and movies from my lapttop so they need to be comfy...

 

Music types which I listeng are Rock, instrumental, pop and little eletrical.. My as I said I would also use my headphones at public I'd like them to be closed and maybe stand little rain, because it rains often in my country and I think closed headphones won't get any water inside if used in rain...

 

 

The headset has to have DETACHABLE cable nothing else and have to be that they cover my ear and are not on my ear, because my ears can't stand the pressure if they are on my ears...

 

I have thought about buying AKG 271MKII, but would it be good for me? For home and public....

 

 

Please help me I have hard time deciding which is the right one, because I have searched for a pair of good headphones about a month... Also my budget would be 100-200 €. I want good quality without a amp...

 

EDIT: Also I would be wearing em like 5 hours be straight if I spend all my day in home watching movies, so they need to be comfy

Heya,

 

Fischer Audio FA-003 (or Brainwavz HM5). Great isolation. Good resistance to elements. Comfortable. Detachable cables. Big. Covers your ears.

AKG K271 MKII. Good isolation. Detachable cord. Big and covers your ears.

Fostex T50RP. Decent isolation. Planar magnetic. Detachable cable. Big and covers your ears.

 

Check 'em out.

 

Very best,

Okey. I'll check em tomorrow and I will ask questions in this thread if needed thanks.. 

 

EDIT: I checked all of those, because I couldn't sleep and unfortunately I didn't found any of those expect AKG 271MKII, so it seems of those headphones only AKG 271MKII is available in my country that is Finland..

 

EDIT 2: I found AKG 701 for 190 € price would they be better than the 271mkii?

The K701 is an open air headphone, leaks big time--both sound, and rain in your ears. Also, it requires significant amplification. I'd say this is probably not good for your needs. Also, it's pretty weak on bass, it's going to be meh for electronic. I would go K271 MKII based on your needs. If you're just sitting at home and never walking around with these headphones, then Q701 with any decent amp for the house instead.

 

Do you have any websites you can post for us that you shop at for Finland?

 

Very best,

Very best,


Okey guess AKG 271MKII will be the best.. Even today it rained alot snow which might be stupid to wear em on snowstorm, but my current headphones stand the snow easily...

 

I found the AKG's cheapest in  here and I changed the language to english, so people understand

This is also really cheap shop, but they don't have AKG there. (No english version, but you see the headphone prices and model)

This shop ships to Filand with 15€ posts and some times there are good bargains of some headphones. Like I saw many headphones with 100-50€ discount.

Also Finland is quite expensive country so the prices might vary to other countries...

Shure SRH 840--or 440 if you have a tight budget.
