good headphone review image
valerie r
I go through headphones like toilet paper, i want in ear headphones and ones that will last me about 4- 6 months around $30 at the most. I've tried skullcandies.
Answer
Well, because you are in a noise environment. So you don't need focus on the quality, I mean, an average quality headphone is enough for this situation.
You can try all headphones under $30, if sound quality is the most important thing to you, noise cancelling headphone is your another choice.
SONY MD series, JVC HAN 250, are good noise cancelling headphones.
You can check here for some reviews:

Does anyone have Beats headphones who can tell a difference between lossless files and mp3 at a 320 bit rate?

Looking at getting a new pair of headphones. I would feel like a tool wearing Beats headphones, especially since they are $300 but i have to admit they sound pretty freaking nice lol. But yeah, I want headphones that i could tell the difference between a flac file and an mp3. Does anyone have any recommendations for other headphones? I would like to hear someone answer this same question for a nice pair of Bose headphones too.
Answer
Ahh, the widely disputed question of whether or not there is an audible difference between lossless and an mp3 file. I won't get into that, but I will give you what I think about some headphone brands. Grado makes some fine headphones though they aren't completely true to the music, as in although they sound nice, no, they don't reproduce the music to how the artist intended. Though there are those times when you want to jam and not care about the fact that they aren't technically what the artist recorded, (one instrument may stick out more than the artist intended, you tweak with this with EQ) you may want headphones that reproduce the music closest to the actual sound. Dennon makes some good closed headphones, that sound more like open headphones (with closed headphones sound won't leak out, with open sound will leak out, though open headphones generally tend to sound better). Koss makes some fairly decent sounding headphones. So does Sennheiser. AKG is another good manufacturer. There are manufactures that beat Bose in every aspect except noise-cancelation (look into JKG), and there is good sounding noise-cancelation headphones out there, their cancelation just isn't quite as good as Bose. Do some research yourself, see what you think, part of it is personal preference, part of it is how accurately headphones can reproduce the music.
Some tips to know when looking into headphones: the lower ohms and sensitivity, the easier it is to power the headphones, the higher the more power you need, this will be a factor in what you have to power your headphones, you may need to invest in a headphone amp if your going to use your ipod or mp3 player. What should be one of your main considerations when choosing headphones is frequency response, 20-20 is the full range (though the actual hearing range of the human ear is disputed, this is the most widely accepted range). For the fist number you want anything 20 or below, for the second you want 20 or higher. For instance 16-30 (not that your going to hear anything above or below 20, but many headphones will still be capable of reproducing sounds above or below 20 hertz). Back to open and closed headphones, closed headphones can sound like open headphones and vice versa, it just depends on the headphone. Also they may talk about the amount of time you can listen to the phones before ear fatigue sets in, this just refers to the amount of time you can listen before you grow tired of hearing the music.
In terms of sights to look to for headphone reviews try Cnet, Headfi, anythingbutipod, and just try a google search for headphone reviews and see what you get.
I've looked into a ton of headphone reviews and learned quite a lot about them in the process, I hope this helped.
