Hello.
I would like to buy new set of headphones, i' ll try to make it short.
What for?:
* Music
* Gaming (PC/xbox360)
* Movies (from PC)
What systems?:
* PC: Dell Latitude D620
* Xbox 360
* Panasonic stereo-system SC-AK210
Xbox is connected with my stereo system and headphones come through that.
Price range?:
~100$
------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it even wise to buy better set of headphones with systems like that ?
Is amplifier in this situation complete waste of money ? If not, maybe you could suggest one.

Hope you can help me.
Thanks

Hi!
I am looking to buy a headphone, my 10 year old HD 565 has stopped working.
I am using it for 50% pc games, 50% rock/metal music (ledzep, lynyrd, blacksabbath, deeppurple etc..). No cd player, pc connected to DENON avr 1804 via spdif, mainly flac and worse source...
Price range is about 150-250$.
After reading the forum and listening to a few cans i am thinking about the following ones (mainly koz these are the ones available here), but all suggestions are welcome, since most likely i will purchase it from ebay or from this forum.
HD 555/595/600, akg 272/701. These are the ones i have actually listened to, i am not that huge audiofile, but i wasn't that much impressed with the 555, akg 272 seemed much better, so was my 565 imo.
On Hungarian forums i was advised to buy a grado for rock music, however i couldn't try one yet, but i just can't see that they are comfortable, but i will give it a try.
How about beyers or audiotechnicas?
I am also wondering whether my 1804 is sufficient enought to power a high end headphone like the 600s and 701, or should i stick with a cheaper one?
Also should i purchase a sound card, or it won't matter because i'm using it via spdif? (realtek integrated asus p5b currently)
Thanks in advance

hello everybody....

i wanna upgrade mu headphones. (have cx300 since few months)
i am biased towards GRADO SR 60.
i live in a country where grados are not available, so have to import them.


so please help me regarding durability of grado as it wont be possible to replace them from here.. .....(if they work for more than 2 yrs it would be fine).

am really confused as in few threads i have read that one side of grados stopped working even if great care is taken. as far as mediocre plastic body is considered, will it break easily?
also i have read that wire is too thick that it can't be broken easily.



i listen to every genre...

my advice on the Grado SR60 is that for the price of about one or two cd's more, the SR80 is a better deal. I listened to both at the time I bought my SR80 and there was a difference that was easy to hear. 80's had deeper bass. I'd get the 80's.

as for durability, mine have been banged around a bit for years, fallen to the floor from a few feet, etc, and never had a problem other than the foam earpad came loose recently.

For the money, Play.com are selling them for about £15, they are excellent. If you are a bass head then you may find them a bit lacking. But for overall sound, clarity, detail and a wide midrange they are excellent. I find them comfortable as the foam goes around the ear rather than on it, but build is a bit plasticy.

With regards the above post, I would agree, I find the SR80s to be well worth the extra over the SR60s.

Yes they should. I have them and love them. I don't know why these lists are not being updated

Hi!
I have to buy new headphones for ~100€ and I saw these.
I'm listening to electronic music (dance, hands up, electro, hardstyle) so it would be good if they have deep bass.

So do you recomend any other or are this a good buy?

 

[linaelectronic]

I think this will be a very helpful guide. . .

 

[floydman]

the prices are a bit off, aren't they

like the Sennheiser hd650, according to amazon have a list price of $650 and an offer of $400

 

[kool bubba ice]

Add the DT48.. They been around for 60 years.

 

[telemann]

Stax sr-404 Signature or Limited Edition? The best?
