From what I know, all KZ ZST variants have the same specs and drivers, just different aesthetics :)

I have Logitech Z120s which are VERY CHEAP hahaha but honestly, they get the job done. For basic usb powered speakers, they're pretty good plus they've lasted years with me :) It was also a gift so I didn't even pay for it lol. Will definitely want some high-end gear when I'm not a student...

This suggestion might sound a bit biased because I own them but check out the KZ ZST (They're a bit over $15, about $20 in USA). I personally don't like the KZ ZS3 as the sound signature doesn't scream quality to me but I only tried it for a few minutes. KZ ZST has good v-shaped to neutral sound...

Try checking out the Sony NW-A35. Has a touch screen so it's nice if you're into that. Also has bluetooth. :)

@cel4145 is correct but I think I can recommend some better-looking cans if I knew what sound signature and what kind of music you listen to

You should check out the brainwavz hm9. I haven't tried them out myself but a lot of people have recommended them.

I was just wondering if you guys know about him. I love his reviews on youtube. He also has nice guides on reddit. 

  Mine broke after about 6 months. I put electrical tape at first because it was just falling apart but at some point it fell apart completely. I asked the store I bought it from and apparently there's no warranty so I contacted Audio Technica directly and I never got a proper reply. I'm from...

  I know this is an old post but do you put the foam from the stock earpads to the hm5 pads or not? and what sounds better for you?

anyone got any tips?

I got my ath-m40x a month ago and I love them but recently I noticed that the right side is louder than the left side. I tested it on two devices and got the same result. I also tried replugging the cable and it didn't work. Is there a solution to this or do I need to get it replaced? thanks in...

Try the xiaomi piston v2. Great sound for low price! I have them and I got them for even lower. Take note these are in-ear headphones so they really go into your ear. Also they have a grill at the back to allow better sound but isolation is still really good.

For me I would get something from sennheiser like the urbanite or momentum. I would advise not getting the blue mo-fi. It's very uncomfortable from what I've heard. You could also check the beyerdynamic dt series. 

I use the ath-m40x which has the same earpads. I think they will fit your ears well. I didn't measure them though. Since it's hot in my country, after about 4 hours (just an estimate I never measure the time) it makes my ears sweat but only a little bit. If you really want less sweat, you could...

I say go for the ath-m40x. I have them. They are really balanced compared to the ath-m50x which is kind of v-shaped. The ath-m50x has 180 degrees rotation while the ath-m40x has 90 which isn't really a problem. It also comes with three cables instead of two. The extra cable is a short straight...
