just got a new pair of HD 280s
    #17020051 -

very impressive sound so far! has the wonderful bass that i've come to know a sennheiser's hallmark. i'm already impressed with the sound while listening without the cans being burned in, or connecting it to a pocket amplifier. and the sound is only going to get better :gameover:


what cans do you have??

Pretty legit.


But srsly best headphones i ever had on my head in terms of comfort. And clarity and response range allows me to mix down tracks without even using monitors. Which is still far from ideal but stuff just sounds like i'm listening to live music in space, i forget i have headphones on. :vaped: When listening to music in lower quality tho the imperfections are way more apparent too, so youtube sounds shittier.

different headphones for different thangs :awesome:

AKGs are more comfortable definitely... the 280s have incredibly good isolation from outside noise

yeah dude, i was speaking to some people who said sometimes it can be bad to have a high calibre pair of cans, because it will highlight all the imperfections in songs.


i was reading some reviews of the hd800 (costs like $1400 lolol), but they said that the hd800s have a surround sound type feeling to them, so that when a sound is intended to be infront of you, you actually hear the sound coming from infront of you, rather then just a speaker close to your ears and playing either in left or right. i thought that was fairly cool. some people were saying the experience of listening to a good recording of a live show can be so realistic that if they close their eyes they can almost imagine they are at the show!



the isolation is pretty impressive twig, when i fsrt put them on i was clicking near my ears to see if i could hear it, and i could barely hear anything.

Audio Technica MD50s.
I really wish I had the coiled cord though.
And white, those are sick.


I like my nice speakers way more though. It's really not even close to me.

HD202s. They're not amazing...but they get the job done. Better sound then every other pair of headphones I've ever had, far and away more comfortable, and from the looks of them somewhat more durable. Definitely worth the $25 I paid for em. Once I have a better source of income I'm looking to replace them with a pair of hd280s or hd380s

"I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

It's well worth the investment I think, but at the same time the quality of headphone you can get for the money you spend is better (if that made sense). Like spending $200 will get you much nicer headphones relative to if you spent $200 on speakers.

Seriously though, the white MD50s are so sick. I think they came out like a month or two after I bought mine.

Yeah - I have a pair of Infinity speakers that were like $50 each that my dad gave me, and also an old receiver from the 80s (also from my dad).  It's alright, but the M50s sound way better.  It'll be a couple years still before I get nice speakers though.  I just dropped $3k on a laptop + desktop, and I'm buying a king size bed for my new place in a couple weeks :yesnod:.

These in ear microphones are pricey and i think a little over the top.

But as long as my dual 1964 ears last me prolly well worth it.

dude i'm so impressed with these hd280s. i could almost go as far as to say that for this price range the hd280s are unbeatable. i haven't had a look at the competing models or anything, but this has a wonderful and energetic sound to it. the sound is well balanced and has ALOT of depth. the bass is great. the noise cancelling is superb, they feel comfortable and as though they can be worn for long periods of time.


best $100 i ever spent!


it's funny, on my old sony mdr v-700s, i had to set my pocket amp to the bass mode to get any decent bass out of it. with the senns, its almost too clear if i turn the bass up full and i start hearing the flaws and distortion in the basslines. so with the hd280s i just set it to the midrange setting and it just has a wicked sound. with the v700s, i pretty much always left it on bass mode for every type of song. but with the hd280s, i find that i can switch between modes to suit different songs or styles. wonderful headphones!

i don't know what a tube amp is, but i use a Fiio E6 pocket amplifier. it fits into the bottom of the ipod and then the headphones connect to that. has 4 settings, normal (but generally boosted), bass setting, mid range setting and a high range setting. also if you buy the E6 you need to also get an " L9 " cable to connect it to the ipod



but twig said also that theres no real benefit from getting a pocket amplifier unless your cans are atleast 64ohms. or something to do with 64 ohms. he said otherwise it will just be making it " louder " but not adding to the sound.
