Best headphones for Rap/Hip Hop Music Under $500?




Ladman


Some points:
- Beats Suck, Trust Me, I've done my research and they are not worth $300-$500
- In terms of selection, It would go Sound Quality, then comfort, then durability and lastly style
- I've been looking at the Audio Technica ATH-M50, but my budget is under $500, and they are not meant for Bass
- Lastly, could you please not just give me a brand. Could you give me an exact product from the brands lineup
Thanks



Answer
WHat're you talking about.
The Audio Technica M50s are meant for bass. In terms of bass, they're excellent headphones and they are meant for bass.

Actually go for the Audio Technica M50s/LE. They have superior sound compared to the M50 in terms of treble, mids and bass.

That's value for money in terms of rap/hip hop music. It's the best you can get and is an excellent choice. These headphones will also work for pretty much all genres of music and you can't go wrong.

Peace

Best camcorder under $500?

I'm a student filmmaker on a limited budget and I want to buy a mini dv camcorder. I need something with a microphone input so that I can add a beachtek xlr adapter to it. I already know about the canon zr930 but is there anything better than that in the price range? And hows the video quality of the zr930? Pros and Cons?

Answer
The ZR900 and 930 both have a mic jack - but no manual audio control. Both are entry level consumer camcorders with small lenses and imaging chips. There is nothing better in this price range... Adding the XLR adapter is good - but I don't know if that actually bypasses the auto mic gain. And there is no headphone jack on the ZR series, so you need some method to know what the audio levels are that are being captured. BeachTeck and juicedLink bot make XLR adapters with LED audio level "meters", but they are more expensive than the basic XLR adapter models.

The least expensive miniDV camcorders - of which I am aware - that have both a mic jack and manual audio control are the Canon HV30 and Sony HDR-HC9. Their lenses and imaging chips are a little large than the ZR series, too. (Larger lenses and imaging chips - whether CMOS or CCD - means improved low-light video capture behavior).

The other option is to not worry about the camcorder's mic jack (or the XLR adapter) and get an external audio "field recorder" like those from Zoom (the H4 has decent built-in condenser mics AND XLR/1/4" combo mic jacks and manual audio control). When you edit, just replace the audio captured by the camcorder with that captured by the field recorder.
