Thank you very much

Maybe people get upset because you ask for us to take time and recommend things to you, then you get angry at us for doing what you ask and ignore the 5-6 recommendations that you got. Please just pick your phones and be done here.

What in the world are you talking about?! You've gotten plenty of answers to your question!!

If you don't like them, that's your problem. But don't blame us for your poor attitude.

I understand where hatebreed is coming from. He wants one answer that all of us agree to. And that my friend, is impossible.

I agree with you that a single answer from everybody is impossible (when it comes to headphone recommendations). This is because headphone sound is a personal thing: What sounds spectacular to one person might sound like a hammered piece of crap to another person.

I will agree that some might go over board with their comments or what not, but it does really boil down to what you want. My opinion, look for a audio store, Best Buy or anything that you can get your hands on some cans.

I went to Guitar Center and tried out the Beyers 770 Pro. Tried some Bose at Best Buy. Koss at Circuit City.

Anywhere that they have headphones, go out and try them out.

Everyone has an opinion and Like you, I always wanted a straight forward answer. I don't want anything over $$$ and yet you always get a response that goes beyond your limit.

It will always happen.

What you need to do is try things out yourself. Everyone has a different opinion on sounds and what may sound good to me may not sound good to you. Even if they're expensive or not. Reason why I mentioned those stores is because you may find something you really like and you would spend much less than anything people recommend.

I also read good things about the JVC HARX cans. Cheap and can be bought for less than $50 shipped I believe.

Don't get mad or upset at what people post. Everyone has an opinion. If you don't like their opinion then don't even pay them any attention. Believe me you, it will make your experience much better.

This is no longer quite true at Best Buy or Circuit City. Circuit City (at least those stores in my area) doesn't allow me to demo any headphones other than the Bose models connected to the Bose display. Best Buy, in addition to the Bose display, allows me to demo the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones connected to its own display unit as well as the Bose AE's connected to the MP3 players they sell. But neither place will allow me to demo any other headphones at all - and neither place has any demo headphones of other brands (all of the headphones that they sell except for the Shure IEMs are now packaged in plastic packaging which must be physically cut open just to get at the headphones, rendering the items unreturnable - and neither place allows any returns of any in-ear 'phones due to health concerns - in other words, they will not accept returns on any item that they cannot resell).

Scratch that out then.

I have also noticed that the selection of conventional headphones with over-the-head headbands at both chains have dwindled substantially. Best Buy, for example, in addition to the aforementioned Bose and Monster Beats headphones, currently carries only the Sony MDR-V150, the Sony MDR-NC40, the Sony MDR-222KD/BLK, the Sennheiser eH 150 and the Sennheiser HD 205 headphones (not including wireless and Bluetooth headphones). Most of the other 'phones carried at Best Buy are earbuds and in-ears.

 

[hatebreed]

how about these bad boys

JVC Over-Ear HARX 3000 (Black) - Total Blank Media

or the 500s

 

[hatebreed]

anyone?

 

[malldian]

Is there something wrong with the recommendations you have already gotten? You will be better served by either using the ones mentioned because in the price range they simply are the best or by giving us more information to work with.

For example, another question would be whats drawing you to the ones you have picked out? If you can identify that maybe we could help you towards a better option.

What kind of music do you listen to and do you prefer one style over another? All these are simple questions that can narrow down your search.

Last bit of advice for now, if you find a pair of Denon 1001s for around 60, buy them for sure.

 

[Sherwood]

Gawd. You don't want opinions, you want someone to verify what you think. Two JVC phones have been recommended already, and you want to cheap out with the lower two models.

If you wanna spend $20, spend $20. There are no miracles in the world of headphones outside of what's already been recommended.

I'm gonna say L3000.

AKG K414P's deserve a special mention. If they dont have to be closed i would reccomend some Audio-Technica AD300 but yeah HD215's

I saw several recommendations that did not go past $60. Having tried a few of the senns from the hd2xx line and hd4xx line, I really only liked the hd497s (discontinued now). There are several from the hd2xx and hd4xx line that I outright will not spend my money on, because I feel they aren't worth it, and the cost simply lies in the sennheiser 'name' but not sound. I also agree that the money might be better spent elsewhere. Is it because you're not in the US and prices are different, that you say people always go out of your price range? Otherwise, how so.

I don't see sherwood's post as coming off as a smart ass, whereas your posts clearly come across that way to me. Sherwood was honestly trying to offer some help. I don't get why you seem so hostile, but then maybe the name hatebreed already has something to do with it.

 

[misterDX]

i am guessing he is located in a rural place where he cant get any of the suggested cans under 60, and the two senns are the only thing he can find. in that case, buy neither, give up on buying cans in the first place, thats just cuz you live in a ****ty place, sorry
