I’ve seen the product review articles and stuff. But I’m wondering what the best set of cans for under $100. I remembered Ean recommending some of the Sony Studio monitor headphones but I can’t find where it was or which model?
Was thinking the Sony MDR -500 or 700’s?
I know it makes more sense to spend the jack and just get some top quality, but I don’t have the jack, I have Jenna, she’s 4 months old and has a lot of my loot tied up in her well-being a long with her mom.
I own these (HD 280 Pro) and they are great. They are way more comfortable than the MDR V700 DJ but not as loud. I have had my 280’s for about 3 years and they still look and sound like they did the day I bought them.
I use Sennheiser HD 205 headphones. I bought them cos I got a deal through Amazon and picked them up for £14.99 (about $25-30) in the UK.
Only issue is they’re a bit tight if wearing them for long, but i left them to stretch over a couple of books for a weekend and they’re perfect now. Great bass, sound clarity, good external sound elimination and I’m constantly dropping them accidentally and not even a mark on them.
They usually retail in UK for about £35-55 (about $60-110), and I’d recommend them as good cheap headphones, just remember to stretch them for a bit!
I have senne 280 pros and have been using them for over 3 years now. They’ve been used in a commercial studio and have taken a real beating but still work great!
I have these too and they are really good quality, sound is very clear but I used them out the other night and they don’t have much isolation at all, I’m thinking of trying Villinus’s headphone mod with the drivers I do agree that they aren’t most comfortable but I try stretching them as said above.
There are really Few winners in this league Sennheiser - HD 205, Sennheiser - HD 280 Pro(liitle bit costly) but i realy appreciate the Audio technica ATH-D40 -FS for its over all performance Vs Cost .
I do agree that they aren’t most comfortable but I try stretching them as said above.
