Favorite brand

[Dackzy]

Hi guys I am worndering what is your favorite headphone brand and why?

 

For me AKG is my favorite brand because they make really good reference headphones and I find their headphones really comfortable.

Audio Technica. Absolutely love my ATH-M50x headphones. Really good quality and really comfortable too.

i really like some of sennheisers design, never owned any of them but they look awesome.

Depends on what I'm looking for. 

If I want reference sound I would go with either Shure or AKG, but if it's for fun I would go with Beyerdynamic.

HiFiMan would also have been on my list if it wasn't for their piss poor build quality. 

A friend of mine had to go through 3 pairs of HE560s befor she got one that worked. 

Those damn mini T-connectors seemed to break as soon as they got in contact with the air. 

Luckily, they have shifted away from using those damn things. T-connectors was a bad idea when TVs used them and they were a bad idea for headphones.

Well the 400s and 400i has 2.5 jack now.

 

EDIT:

The 400i still has those weird things

I just think they make good products, going from my personal experience as well as other people I know.

Not according to the HiFiMan website: http://hifiman.com/products/detail/178

Atleast that states that the HE400i now has 2,5mm TRS connectors. It's still not ideal, but it's an improvement.

 

And HiFiMan won't make it on to my list untill I get another pair to play around with. I can only judge on personal experience.

I hope the 400i I get has 2.5 TRS.
