Looking for some new headphones


Recommended Posts

Well my headphones finally bit the dust so im the the market for a new pair. Instead of just buying another cheap pair and them only lasting me 6 months I would like to get a decent pair that will last longer. Now I know there are some headphones out there that are insanely good but also pricey af. Not for me. I just want a decent pair of headphones that have good output and wanted to know if you all had any suggestions. I personally like ear buds or in ear headphones and they must have a mic and a pause button near the end. Similar to the iPhone headphones but the volume control is not required. Also, what are the things I need to look for/at when deciding on a pair of headphones in the future?

If you like earbuds I use skullcandy buds. Their mid-upper level head phones are under $100 and work well and I can beat the hell out them without issue. Shure makes REALLY nice ones but WAY too expensive. I bought a pair with some points I had on my credit card and I ended up ripping the cable but (yea I know cool story bro) they sounded the best I have ever heard.

Cant go wrong with klipsch

I've had klipsch and they were nice.

I have the Beyerdynamic dt 990 pro 250 ohm on a fiio e17. Favorite setup by far and can be had for about 300 now..

First you need to figure out if you want open or closed headphones

What's the difference between closed and open earbuds?

I don't think they have closed/open ear buds but open headphones have a larger Soundstage and less punchy bass where the music "leaks" out of the headphones and others can hear. Closed headphones have a smaller Soundstage with much puncher bass where you cant hear the music from the outside. I like open but it's just a preference.
