Advice on new headphones? - Erixouther - 01-08-2009

I need some suggestions for a newborn audiophile.

I prefer big comfy circumaurals, though in-ear and in-canals are ok...

Anyone an expert?

Not an expert, but German company Sennheiser has always had a good reputation for quality.

Don't use full headphones now, but used to use a pair of Sennheisers which were very good, & I use Sennheiser CX 300 in-ears on myPod, which are good for the price...

skull candy and boess have really great quality, but tend to be pricey... skull candy is also pretty stylish too though. each has all three types of headphones and i think boess has a wireless type. :biggrin:

Like bryce, I'd suggest Skullcandy. I have a very nice pair with the big ol' cover-your-ears-completely earpieces. (Forgive my lack of knowing the correct terms.) They were given as a gift, so I'm not sure of price.

I absolutely love them. They have their own volume control. The only thing against them is that they do not have the "noise cancelling" option, which I loved on my old pair of Sony's. If you can get a pair with this option, it's well worth the extra money.

I've got a pair of Philips SHP 8500. Their price-performance ratio is unearthly.

Thanks, I'll look into these.

After extensive fretting and perusing, i settled on Sennheiser HD 205's. I'm very happy with them, thanks MD =]

Good choice. I believe the headphones you are using are shown at the top left of every page in MD.

They're close, but not the same.

Anybody recommend any wireless headphones?
