    Low/No Fatigue Noise Isolating or Cancelling Headphones?

    I work in an open office plan where there are a lot of distracting conversations.  Open earbuds don't isolate enough.   Currently I use a pair of Fostex T50RP closed back around-ear headphones.  They isolate well enough, but my ears get fatigued after using them for a few hours, probably because...

    3.5mm-3.5mm cable for the Fostex T50rp?

    I recently got a Fostex T50rp and it came with a 6.3mm stereo plug cable with the locking 3.5mm jack on the other end.  I can use a standard 3.5mm stereo jack cable, but then I lose the locking mechanism.  I don't want to use an adaptor, is there a 3.5mm-3.5mm cable that has that locking...

    11yo brother wants to get Beats headphones, what should I suggest as an alternative?

    He want's them because he wants good sound quality, it's why I was able to convince him to get a set thats better than the Beats.  At that age to be honest, almost any sort of full size headphone set looks pretty cool.

    11yo brother wants to get Beats headphones, what should I suggest as an alternative?

    My little brother wants to get a pair of Dr.Dre Beats headphones.  I convinced him that's it's overpriced for what your getting and you can get something a lot better for the money, but I'm a bit lost as what to suggest as an alternative. I have a pair of Fostex T50RP headphones and I'm thinking...

    "Ear Pain" with Equation RP-21s

    I've never really worn other closed circum-aurals before. I've used a pair of silver sonys that went on the ear. And I've had IEM headphones before too. I've never had these kind of problems before.

    "Ear Pain" with Equation RP-21s

    No, compared to my other (cheap) headphones, I don't get this pain. I even tried wearing them after I got these ones. I tried ripping out the foam inside the RP-21s and this reduced the pain significantly, leading me to believe that this is an air pressure thing. Somehow. But now by removing the...

    "Ear Pain" with Equation RP-21s

    Seeing how people here are raving about the RP-21s as a great "low cost" headphone, I bought a pair online. I got mine in the mail today and tried them on. They sounded decent out of the box, but after a while I got this indescribable pain/irritation that seemed to be coming from inside my...

    Best headphones < $100 (but they cant sound isolate and they can't be open)

    I'm trying to find the best headphones < $100 but won't be the sound isolating earplug types that would totally block off all sound around me, but at the same time, wont annoy fellow students in a quiet study hall type of situation with my music blasting out of my headphones. What would you guys...
