FunkyMonk Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) So in the next few weeks (maybe Christmas, who knows..) I'd love to get new headphones as my old crappy ones are pretty much done for. I'm just using these for my iPod but I'm so sick of shit little ones that I'd like to get fairly decent ones.Ok so last year or something like that I was thinking along the same line, so as an idiot I blew 60 bucks on Apple in-ear headphones...and they were pretty good for the like one time I got them in my ears, and the time after that they broke or something , so a repeat of that wouldn't be too appreciated..I was lookin' at the Shure E2c or something like that, but the wierd over-ear cable thing is just kinda stupid and it put me off.So you know...any advice would be awesome and I'm kind of looking in the 150 buck range.

JDRM Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Shure E2c really are the way to go dude.Incredible quality cable and the sound quality is out of this world.And dont let the unorthodox over-ear thing concern you. After putting them on 3 times it really is very easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack_the_ripper Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 some of those awesome bose headsets... I'm really looking into them... they don't look stylish, but they sound fucking amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Go for a mid-range pair of Sennheisers. You won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I'm currently digging a pair of sony In-Ears i picked up, really loud, crystal clear bass and not too sore on the ol' wallet. The best pair of headphones I've ever had was this Philips set with noise reducing technology. It would block out just about anything, I could sit on a plane and only be aware of my music, it was fantastic. Unfortunately, head/earphones seem to break with surprising regularity and those ones died within a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman1987 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) I could sit on a plane and only be aware of my music, it was fantastic.It wouldn't be 'fantastic' if the plane goes down and all you hear is your music.

That was just a for example (okay so I did use it on the plane sometimes). But they were really great headphones, I was gutted when they broke.

After putting them on 3 times it really is very easy Yeah I guess, but I dunno...do you look like a complete knob when you wear 'em? But I saw you plugging them in another thread so sounds like they'd be pretty good. I was looking at some $140 Sony ones the other day but have no idea what they were.Oh and by the way I'm looking to buy Ear-phones (probably in-ear ones) rather than big headsets, I hate the big headset ones .

FunkyMonk Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 I think I'll get the (new maybe?) Shure SE210's. They sound pretty neat to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
