Headphonez?[views:14702][posts:15]_______________________________ [Jul 17,2009 5:55pm - timma ""] I'm in need of a pair of somewhat decently priced headphones for some basic recording/playback stuff I'm doing on my PC. Mixes aren't going to be for anything good, but I'd rather go headphones than monitors, since my downstairs neighbor is a sand-filled cunt. Looking to spend around $100 give or take $20 or so. I almost got some Bose over-the-ears for about $125, but I'm re-thinking it since I guess they break easy. Any suggestions? |

Before these i had 3 or 4 different full ear headphones and every single one of em ended up breaking after a few months. Granted i stepped on em, but ive stepped on these and they're still kicking. I've always had the adjustable slider part break off, then i would fix it with tape which worked for a couple weeks until i got too pissed off and threw em out. These one's are beefy though, when i do eventually break them im gonna buy another pair. |

I use them all the time for my ipod and recording shit. they are great and can be found for like 30 bucks most of the time because they are always coming out with new colors and discontinuing old ones. |

Super cheap, but some reviews said they're kind thin sounding and are tough to get up to a decent volume. Any truth to that? |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 18,2009 1:04pm - secthammer ""] for mixing purposes though i wouldn't go with Bose. Excellent consumer headphones though. |

Any truth to that? well i run out of my computer and into a Marantz receiver and plug my headphones into that. So i have them EQ'ed and can crank em as loud as i want with the amp. I could imagine that using them with a cheap mp3 player or walkman they might sound a little thin. But for my purposes theyre perfect. |
