Quote: Lol the system has gone down the gutter at my schools for a long time lol . I also live in california public schools lol. I completely agree.  

At my high school I have my hd 438s, I see beats solo, my friend dosen't bring his sr80i lol. I also see some cheap sennheisers and some skullcandies, although I am the only one with medium full sized headphones lol

Quote: Although I may be a 15-year old guy I went through the phase of cool headphones, But the reason I got them was because I was tired of my ibuds or $10 replacements that broke in about 3 months. Then I got skullcandy hesh headphones and those lasted about 4 months at home and 1 month...

 Got myself some beyerdynamic dt440s for around the house. There great for my first open can.

I like my sennheiser hd 438s and I listen to metal like as your name metallica, overkill, megadeth and some powermetal and they work fine. i used my friends sr80i and those are also great for metal not any better then my 438s but that is just my opinion. The sr80is I consider have punchy bass...

I would say they are considering I only had skullcandies before and some creative pc gaming headphones to reference. Although I use mine everyday and also used them for exercise lol. Ya I love the sound and would recommend them since after those I went here to see if I made a okay choice. Ya for...

I have them and I know they are great sounding headphones, but I don't know for gaming headphones. They have good bass and good treble for the explosions and gunfire or foot steps, I just haven't used them for gaming. I use mine for on the go headphones. Oh also very durable. and comfy. They...

I use my sennheiser hd 438s for outside I like them. They come with a 1.2m detachable cable and a 3m cable also sound very nice.A little cheaper then those listed but still very nice.

Got my hd 438s from them after my skullcandies broke It was worth it

I have the hd438s and they sound great for my rock/metal music. The only thing you have to realise is that they need a fairly long burn in time 40-80hours or more. My hd438s have as you want pretty clear accurate bass compared to some other cheaper headphones. Also You don't need an amp I got a...

I wouldn't get skullcandy products. Why? I had skullcandy hesh and they sound ok BUT there durability is nothing. Also they aren't comfy really. All they do is look good lol. I would look at sennheiser hd4xx series for portable(not really but mid-size) or the sennheiser px series. I have the...

Alright I have had my hd 438s for about 5 months and they have held up beatifully. They have lasted being thrown in a plastic bag and put into a backpack and walking around campus. The sound quality definately requires a burn in. I would say the burn in is 40-60+ hours of play. When my...

I will try my friends grados and will think about it if I don't like them I will look more into detail on the dt440 or k240. Those were ultimately the other headphones I were looking at anyways.

Lol I can get grados here in the us so maybe I wont get the ms-1 also the dt440's look really comfy lol. Any more suggestions?

My friend has some 80s so I will ask him to do a trade or something for awhile. Thanks for the advise I didn't know the 125s were the worse one oh well thanks. Only sad because lots of other headphones on amazon are discounted and the 225is are still 200 oh well thanks for the advise.

The quality from sound improves if you go with cds. I had 1,000 songs from limewire but they went out of business or something and half of my songs were bad sounding mp3 files or worse so I deleted them. Then purchased a bunch of cds and put it in apple loseless format and know they sound great...

I am going to get some open headphones at around christmas time for a bunch of reasons.   1. I want to try some open headphones. 2. I want open headphones so my mom knows when I am listening to my music and dosen't yell at me. 3. Will be used at home with a fiio e7 and later will use it...

I first started with cheapy ipod headphones then went to the skullcandies because they were at target. They were still a great improvement from the ipod earbuds. Then when they broke 6 months later I started looking at better headphones then I got the sennheiser hd438s. They look great(in my...

Actually the reset button I think was all i needed to do and put a set of cans in the other side and mess around with the position of how far the jack went in lol. I found it out by accident and know the music sounds better on my hd438. Cant wait for my lod to my ipod thanks for the help all of you

They are firmly in but I might try the reset hole thx for the idea

It does the same thing with my ipod and I also tried to see if it was the headphones and it isn't.

Thx for the suggestion although it didn't help oh well prob going to send it back

 I just got the fiio e7 with anticipation. Anyways I plug in any headphones I have and I only get sound from one ear. Although I don't have my lod for my ipod yet to try but in the computer I only get sound out of one ear and its fairly annoying. Just wondering if its my e7, headphones...
