Your Headphones

[ProfessorLayton]

Most people wear headphones. So here is a quick question: What kind of headphones do you wear, and why? Are they comfortable, are they cheap, are they super high quality?

I wear these headphones that my dad bought called Behringer HPM1000. They're not that expensive and the quality isn't perfect, but these things are so comfortable. They actually go around my ears so they're not constantly putting pressure on them so I can wear these for hours and my ears don't get sore. So what about you?

Oh yeah, headsets count as well.

I wear the headphones that I bought from Asda for £6. Because I can...

 

[LopezMeister]

Sennheiser HD202. I use them for listening to music, gaming as well as in the recording studio. They're pretty good imo. £24 on Amazon I think.

Well, I used the Apple ones until they broke, then I got a pair of Skullcandy in-ear ones until one earpiece randomly stopped working (they were kinda uncomfortable anyway).

Now I'm using a pair of in-ear ones I got for like ?15.
I tend to prefer in-ear earphones, cos they block out backround noise.

Same thing happened to my skullcandies. So I got the ones that wrap around your ear.

A pair of cheap ones that came with my mobile phone.
But they do a good job so no complaints here.

I recently bought a Logitech G330. It's back-of-head which I prefer, good build quality and is oh so comfy. Sound quality is average, but that's to be expected for this pricerange (?30-40)

I got these ones

They are fantastic, comfy, good quality, and although not noise canceling, I can't hear much with them on.

I got my EX-29 Extreme Isolation headphones. Got them for when I'm playing drums, by myself or with my band, and use them when I can't have the volume very loud on my laptop (late at night and stuff), whenever I'm on airplanes or for very long car trips (like Adelaide to Melbourne).

Whenever I'm listening to my iPod though or just going out I have these $20 Sony earphones which are far better quality than the original iPod earphones which are like $50 here in Australia, I had my pair for three years then they finally broke, but I love these earphones because they are cheap and great quality.

Tritton AXPRO. they are amazing 5.1 surround headphones, which is a huge help when playing MW2. they have an optical in for the highest sound quality, can be hooked up to every system, and are DAMN comfortable. your ears (even if they're big) will fit entirely inside the ear-cups, so the soft padding actually rests against your head rather than delicate ears. they have a built-in mic, an in-line volume control. they also have an excellent pass-through, so if someone is trying to tell you something you can mute them and won't need to take the headset off in order to hear them. they cost US $129 so they're a bit much for headphones, but for all you get i think they're worth it.

the only downside is the mic FEELS quality, it seems to be easily broken. sorry for the wall of text.

 

[T-Blade]

I have the Icemat Siberia Black version.
Great sound quality, Very comfortable, The wire and the detachable mic are nuisances.

[Cherry Cola]

I wear... well, comfortable ones. When they brake I buy new ones. I don't know what else to say...

They need the ability to make my eardrums explode.

 

[IxionIndustries]

I don't use headphones/headsets on the computer..

I do, however, own a pair of Skullcandy headphones that I use with my MP3 player, and they are fucking loud.

 

[Seifen]

SONY MDR-V600

Because they sound well with this:

And they are quite cushy IMO

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

I have a cheap pair of on ear headphones while my Skullcandy Hesh headphones are getting repaired.

I use these as well, pretty good phones, didn't bought them at Amazon but at a local store.

 

[HerrBobo]

Yeah, I think mine cost about a tenner, only got them for the mic so I could talk to my g/f on Skype.

 

[NuclearPenguin]

I wear fluffy skullcandy ones (White)
Theyre warm
They have great sound
They look cool
They make me feel cool
They cost 900 KR (Around 10kr to 1 USD)

 

[Seifen]

I see alot of you use skullcandy's. From my experience electronics that are intended to look cool or be fashionable are cheap pieces of arse when it comes to quality and durability, Im a geek though so i go for comfort/quality/durability.
