Headphones?
    #5424817 - 03/21/06 11:22 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I'm looking into getting a quality pair of headphones. The BOSE QuietComfort2's seem like they might provide the best quality, though $300 is a bit steep. I'm not opposed to shelling out the cash for quality, because we all know you only get what you pay for. However, there are another pair that BOSE makes that are called the TriPort's, and those are only $150.

I'm wondering if anyone has used either of these products, and what they think? Or if you could suggest headphones of similar quality?

Thanks  :smile: :thumbup:

All my recent headphone purchases have been Sennheiser, and I've been more than happy.

I have the Bose QuietComfort headsets and I would gladly shell out 300 bucks for them again if I had to. The sound quality is amazing and allows you to really pick out subtle nuances in the music that you cannot usually hear.

Sony v900's are great, very comfortable and not over based like the 700's. I use them in my studio and sometimes bring them on trips with me. I believe you can get them for 120-140. VERY worth it. Had mine for 2 years. They have been used almost every day since then and still look, sound, and feel brand new.

sennheiser HD-25 or the HD-25 SP all the way.  The HD-25 does a better job at blocking outside noise.  I use the SP's to spin records.  Great sound quality, i love me sennheiser equipment. :smile:

I would go with the headphones if I used them at home, but I prefer earbuds when I'm out and about.    :shrug:

Dont get Sennheiser, you pay for the name, and the sound in my opinion lacks detail. For 150 you can get a pair of Grado sr-125's which are far superior to ANY Sennheiser. If you want up a step, check out the Grado sr225's, but in my opinion the sound of the 125's are a bit better. Most people havent heard of this company, but do some research into headphones, and you will know them.

Ultrasone has some really great head phones for listining. I Used to have a pair of HFI-700's and they were great.

http://www.djdeals.com/ultrasoneHFI700.htm

But right now Im using pioneer HDJ-1000's for mixing which I gota say are great. They are light weight and great sound.

http://www.djdeals.com/pioneerHDJ1000.htm

But if you were a true Audiophile you would buy these.

thats what my brother uses.. they hurt my ears after wearing them for to long.. and are to bassey. The 900's are about 10X more comfortable and don't let bass overwhelm the track.
