Sennheiser HD25 for me best value all round headphone.

Please don't get the HD280. They are dreadful and they break a lot. Take a look at the "my most disappointing headphones" thread, it's literally flooded with it.
HD-25 is perfect for what you want.

yeah i'm taking the hd 280 off my list. with all the recommendations i'm still a bit favoring the sony v6, since it is actually within my budget and the reviews all says it has superb sound despite it's fall backs.

i don't wanna be asking too much but if you guys can provide links for all the suggestions that would be GREAT. i can google them up but theres just so many sites i don't know which ones are reliable.

WOW ok on second thought. i think i'm gonna go with a AKG K271 studio.

however there are apparently two version?? the mkII and the studio. are they the same with different names or are they two totally defference product.

A few things to keep in mind are that all sound is subjective so some people may enjoy the sound of one can over another while someone else feels quite the opposite. Another thing to look out for is that not everyone has tried all these headphones, and some people have but only for a very short time so many people can't give you a full comparison. That said, any scraps of information are good and will lead you to make a better purchase. The other thing to keep in mind is that any one of these headphones is a HUGE step up from the Skull Candy you are using currently, so whatever you choose I think you will enjoy the sound of immensely. The biggest stumbling block for many people is just being able to make yourself just buy one. It is very easy to just read more and more reviews, float back and forth between this and that can, etc. but eventually you just have to decide to buy something. There is on can that does it all, so eventually you'll have to settle on a purchase and just enjoy it, or alternatively do what many people here do: buy a can, find what you do and do not like about it, get another one based on the new criteria, ad infinitum.

thanks for the info and heads up. i do have a question though, what is a can

 

[mzd]

the K271 Studio is a discontinued model. it is now the K271 mkII i guess.

 

[KaiXSeaBlue]

so its just as good? i found a b-stock one from a power seller for 120. its a online store and they said they are authorized dealer of akg so full warranty is included.

 

[jayeshrc]

id say m50.. ive looked around a lot and finally settled on them, so...

 

[KaiXSeaBlue]

so it has came down to the akg k271 and the audio technica ath m50. sigh..this never ends/

 

[mzd]

i just got my M50 yesterday. but i haven't heard the AKG so i can't offer a comparison...
i'd be happy to answer any questions you've got about the M50 though.
and no, it never ends...

 

[KaiXSeaBlue]

does the m50 have detachable cable from both end? i know the akg k271 does and that would be great since i have a bad history with busted cables

 

[mzd]

nope, it is connected. that is a nice feature on the AKG....

 

[KaiXSeaBlue]

alright. i just went ahead and placed a order on the akg k271 mkII model.

 

[mzd]

cool. can't wait to hear what you think of them once they come in! keep us posted.
