We're not voting for headphones to be used by anyone or everyone else. Thanks

Too bad the rebate expired last month. So which headphones would you like to vote for now?

 

[coolcat]

ad700 are so damn cheap compared to their soundquality

Best bang for the buck --> highest price/performance ratio --> probably KSC75. Whee?

No, as stated in the original post, this poll is for full size headphones. Please read my original post for the details if interested in voting. Thanks

HD650 needs to be on that poll. You can get them for $300 new at Amazon now. (yes, i realize it's not authorized senn dealer).

 

[chadbang]

other - hd650

 

[ashmedai]

Hmm, true. That would tend to constrain it to ATHs or the D2000 (since that's at about 2/3rds of the earlier price these days) in most cases. (Although aren't the drivers on the KSC75 basically the same size as in the SR60?)

The problem there is you knock it up into the upper parts of the range, where it is high enough to start becoming dependent on preference and "best" is really dodgy. But likely one of those two for someone's first venture.

HD650 new is nice...I think the "amp mandatory" status would bump it out of range, though.

dt 770 pro 80 for me good portability even better home amp can..

No, the poll is fine like it is. Head-Fi only allows 10 options in a poll. You can vote option 10 (other) and then post any model of full size headphones you want to vote for that's under $300. So if the HD650 can be bought for under $300, you can vote for it just like chadbang did right under your post. So will you be voting for the HD650? Thanks

Yes. My vote is for the HD650...

But I felt that they should have gotten a spot on the top 10 list. I suspect there's a lot more people who just disregarded it as a choice because when THEY bought the phones, it was well over $300.

....i have a few....


new hd650's - $270 (after rebate (just got it in the mail the other day))

g&wt2.6f - $220 (used) great value & synergy with my sa5000's (and with a pair of rebranded nos mullards it still somes in under 3 beans)

iriver h140 - new on ebay a couple years back @ $160 - cant live without it (in the car and at the office)

 

[arteom]

K701 for ~$250 new.

 

[Tiemen]

I vote for the AKG K601 for their sheer musicality and balanced sound

 

[LeBuLLeT]

hd650 would be my vote.
