    Are Cans Even That Good

    I'm trying to decide between:   Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Brainwavz HM5 Fischer Audio FA-003 (out of stock but new ones coming by December)   I know The FA-003's & HM5's are the same but if the FA-003's are getting revamped (not sure if they are) then they might be better...unless the...

    Quote: Thanks man, I checked them out but they're on ear which seems uncomfortable to me. I posted what I like below so if you know anything, feel free to share!

    I appreciate a lot of the recommendations you guys are making. This is what I wanted to get out this post, so thank you. Here's what I know I want:   Around Ear (for comfort reasons) Closed Back (for minimal sound leakage) Isolation equal to or greater than the Beats (I don't like it...

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. Quick question, might seem dumb...is there any difference in "over-ear & around-ear" or is it the same thing?

    Quote:   Sweet, just figured out the quote function for my reply. Anyways, yea anything $100-250 is what I'm looking for. If it's more than $125ish I'll wait & shop around till I find it cheap. Any experience with the Fischer Audio FA-003? Any recommendations? Closed or IEM only is what...

    Scyy - Yea it prob would be better. I knew it would leak I just didn't know how much and I was surprised. However, I didn't realized it would let sound in. It may seem stupid, but whatever, maybe I didn't think about it.   As for IEMs, does anyone know if they're potentially damaging since...

    Read my above comment to the last guy that screamed troll. People like you are ridiculous. If you read all of my posts in this thread you could easily conclude I'm not a troll. Don't try to "squeeze" an apology in your comment by saying sorry when the rest of it was filled with bashing. Did you...

    I didn't follow the exact opposite. Reviews for what I was looking for didn't specify the necessity to have closed back for isolation. I never saw that, after reading tons of posts comparing headphones. There is a lot of lingo and uncommon knowledge that adds to the learning curve here.    I...

    Thanks  Chewy & Mingus  for your replies. They were honest, clear, and lacked the typical stereotype against Beats. I guess I'll need to try more closed back. I thought the open back would still give isolation through it's improved sound stages, but I guess I was wrong. Open back definitely...

    No, I said they were better than the iPod earbuds but not by enough to justify the price. Yes they were better...but not for whatever expensive price Guitar Center had them marked up to. The Beats, in my experience, were good enough to justify paying top dollar. And by top dollar I don't mean...

    Are Cans Even That Good

    Ok, so I've been wanting to listen to something better than my iPod earbuds for a while now. I've done a ridiculous amount of reading on this website and a few others. I'm a college student so I just wanted to get the best bang for my buck for now, and one day when I have real money go all out...
