New Headphones

[SCAMAZING]

Sup. I'm back.

So, I have used the same headphones for about 4 years now, and I'm anticipating an upgrade. What pair should I get?

 

REQUIREMENTS:

• NO BEATS BY DRE!!!!!
• Less than $250
• Must be on ear or over ear
• Should have a mic (a headset w/ no mic is still fine though)

Thx again,

SCAMAZING

Don't tell me what to do.

Actually there just beats now lol

 

the best headphones I can recommend are the hd 558. There 100 bucks and fantastic, maybe pair it with a decent amp and you got a good budget combo.

Don't worry, I don't think anyone here would recommend beats by dre

Hmm, there's the DT770 and you could probably also get the Audio-Technica MSR7s with your budget.

But the two pairs sound very different from one another, so it all come down to the sound signature that you enjoy the most.

The m50x are good but are overpriced. There not the best option for your money is all.

Seem like a decent price to me, but I'll probably pick the Sennheiser HD 558.

No they sound good on there own "i don't have an amp" but a decent 50 dollar amp never hurts

How the headphones sound. Not all headphones sound the same, and a sound signature referes to how the headphones differes from one another.

If the case is that the person doesn't know, a neutral sound signature is the best bet. (Like the 558s :D)

hd 558 are a nice starter audiophile cans (if you want to get into audiophile...)

 

i would like to add that there's a few mods i recommend you can do if you get the hd 558

to my ears the hd 558 is not as bright as i thought, but it's still a nice balanced sound

Well, most people are capable of saying "I like bass" or "I like treble", which makes it easier just to ask.

In that case I would get the Audio-Technica MSR7s for closed headphones or the HD558s for open headphones.

not true, a lot of people will find a neutral sound signature borring. Also the HD558 are not what you would call neutral, they have a small mid-bass bump, they are what people call balanced. Neutral headphones would be K612 or HD600, where the K612 are more on the analytical side of things.

Yes there is a difference between balanced sound and neutral sound
