Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Looking for some good over-ears for under $100. Leaning towards this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_92929_Sennheiser-HD429-FIIO-E06-SLHP07.htmlI have the HD428 I've been very happy with them and they can be had for $50 on amazon I paid $100 at best buy a couple years ago and would gladly pay the same amount again.http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD428-Circumaural-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B002DGTGNG That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I have some sennheiser HD428'S and a pair of power beats in ear's Very happy with both I would have never bought the beats because I don't like the on ear ones but I caught them on clearance 50% off and said screw it and gave them a try and I'm actually glad I did.

Noel989 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Just because I'm lazy, I'm quoting from my computer log. Got my headphones and amp in! My Schiit amp, the Magni. Now for the Sennheiser HD650's! I was very impressed with the shipping, the box/traveling case is very very nice. So far the sound is amazing, the amp is enough to power these 300 ohm speakers nicely. I can hear in the sound quality test tracks when the musicians press down on the keys of a keyboard, or press down on a valve for their horn. I will do an extensive review on these after I get 70 or so hours of play time on them, so that I can make sure that they are fully burned in. Just a stock image of the cans for a better look. So you carry all that with you? Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 So you carry all that with you? Of course not. The amp is powered by a 120v RMS outlet. This is for listening to music/movies/gaming at my computer. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 If those are really open back you'll still get bitched at lol. I can't really recommend anything other than what I did because they are honestly the first pair I've ever spent more than a few $ on the only others are the power beats and the those will get you bitched at too.

OrionStang Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 The 428's are closed back, meaning they don't let sound out, right? 429's are closed, too. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainStryke Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I run Plantronics GameCom 780's. Perfect for PC gaming... No one ever complains about my mic and the sound quality isn't bad at all for $50. Looking for some good over-ears for under $100.

These are pretty nice for the price: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plantronics-Gamecom-780-Black-Headband-USB-Surround-Sound-Stereo-Gaming-Headset-/311155817486?pt=US_Computer_Headsets&hash=item487254fc0e If you really like Sennheiser, i'd recommend keeping an eye out for a pair of HD558's. They go on sale pretty often for a little over $100... They have open box ones on eBay for about that price right now. BestBuy has them on display where they keep their high end TV's.
