Which headphones to buy?




Peyton


So I'm looking to buy some over the ear headphones, and I can spend up to $100. Trying to decide between these:

Skullcandy Crusher http://www.skullcandy.com/crusher#buyNow

Sony X Headphones http://store.sony.com/x-headphones-zid27-MDRX10//cat-27-catid-All-Over-Head-Headphones?vva_ColorCode=CB2739&_t=pfm%3Dcategory%26pfmvalue%3Dfaceted

I listen to a lot of rap music and need good bass. The Sony headphones are on sale. Which one should I get? OR if you know a better pair for $100 and under please share thanks
Also, what do you guys think of Sennheiser headphones?



Answer
ANY Sennheiser is better than ANY of those others you listed! Sony is kind of good but okay-ish only.

If REAL quality is an issue, you should stick to REPUTABLE brands only such as B&W, Sennheiser (most affordable), Shure, Grado, Denon, AKG, Audio-Technica (NOT to be mixed with Technic which is utter rubbish as well!), Etymotic or Beyerdynamic. Things like V-Moda, Klipsch, Sony, Panasonic, JVC and Philips are ONLY "okay-ish" indeed. Please do NOT fall a victim to FASHION ACCESSORIES by buying Boombox, Ministry of Sound, Sol/Republic/Revolution, Noontec Zoro's, Benetton, a-jays, iFrogz, Marley, Fanny Wang, Razer, Karl Kani, WESC, Turtle, JH, Dr.Dre/Beats/Solo, Ludacris/Soul, Koss, Skullcandy, Lady GaGa, Skullcrushers, Monsters nor Bose, because they are ALL seriously overhyped and overpriced "fashion blingbling gimmicks" with a very poor durability and sound quality, NOTHING else (and those who try to claim they are good do NOT know ANYTHING about QUALITY anyway!), BE THEM FAKE OR NOT!

Again, please do NOT focus on the thumping bass that just distorts everything else, instead go for GOOD audio quality IN GENERAL.

What is the line out plug on my guitar amp for?




Tim


What is the benefit of having it on my amp?


Answer
The Line out is for recording or playing through a PA.....not for headphones. If you're playing large venues, you can run a line from the Line-Out of your amp to the PA mixing board. Yu can do the same thing for recording, but you generally get a more realistic sound by putting a mic in front of the amp.
