Hello people i hope you are having a great day!

I recently decided that i want to listen to somewhat quality music.

I dont have a great budget so i will need your help

 I currently have this sh!t http://usercontent2.hubimg.com/4221609.jpg which cost about 15$ in my country, im using them while im on the PC.

My music mostly contains: Chillstep, deephouse and varies. I also want to use my new headphones for meditation.



1.) Which should i get from these? :: Takstar 2050 or HD 5500, TDK ST560S, Superlux HD681B, Please recommend others in this money range.

2.)Should i get player like xduoo x2 or some cheap smartphone which can play nice music ? My Microsoft Lumia kills every type of music. Dont buy it ever.

3.) What about amplifiers?

4.) Cheap bluetooth or wireless headphones which i can carry with me while walking,training? (I will use them for listening to podcasts, audio tapes)


I will be very grateful for every constructive answer! I have 2 days to decide. Let the games begin :D

Hi, I once owned the Takstar HI2050, had tried the Superlux681B. Those phones are open back and are quite bright, they will not really fit EDM genres. With bass-centric genres, closed back headphones are more preferred. I suggest you look into those instead (You don't provide your budget so i just list them here for your consideration):
Superlux 681EVO: semi open, more bass than 681 and 668B, gentle sounding.
Takstar Pro80/Gemini HSR1000/Kingston HyperX Cloud/Qpad QH90: closed variant of HI2050, quite good for EDM with a slight eq (lower upper midrange, boost bass). I am owning the Kingston HyperX Cloud
Takstar HD6000: Currently top of the Takstar lineup. Very good for EDM.
Takstar HD550 like you've already mentioned.
Philips SHL3300.
Creative Aurvana Live!
Brainwavz HM5.
Somic EFi-82 MT, Somic P7, Somic V1.
I've not listened to most of the above headphones. However, from reading reviews they deliver very good p/p ratios.
You should alsoreally look into the Sony XB950AP (wired) or BT (wireless). They can be had for really cheap (100$ as of right now on Amazon sale). Have abundant bass if you're into that. I've just bought one, it vibrates my head literally ;)
Also, the V-Moda M100 is on sale right now at 150$ on Microsoft Store. They might be a bit out of your budget, but I think if you bought one, you will basically never need to update in the long future.

Thanks for such a detailed answer man. 
I think i will collect more money for my purchase.
Meanwhile i think of buying AUSDOM M06 - bluetooth headphones with good reviews online.

Also i see Vmoda headphones on sites like aliexpress and they are way cheaper than Microsoft, do you think they will have the same audio quality ?

I've never used Bluetooth headphones, so I can't help you there. However, I think the sound quality of them will be compromised quite a bit.
The V-Moda you see on aliexpress, I'm pretty sure they are clones under the name Kz Lp2.

There's also a dedicated thread to this brand on here as well

Are there audio stores near where you live? It's better if you actually go to the stores and try various headphones in order to find out what you like best, instead of believing the reviews online.
