Headphones like beats but cheaper?




Bill Wojtk


I was looking to buy a pair of solo beats HD but they are expensive! Also i herd that the head band snaps alot and that cant be happining. If anyone knows of some headphones that have the amazing sound like beats HD and are cheaper that would be great!
Thanks



Answer
You can get much better sound out of headphones than Beats. The Audio Technica headphones another user has listed are a very good option. Browse through Audio Technica, Sennheiser (personal favorite), and Grado for very good headphones. Price ranges go from around $10-1,500+ so you can easily find your price range and know you are not going wrong.

Since you like Beats, I'm assuming that you are a fan of bass heavy headphones. You say amazing sound, which is very vague, but easy to work with if you search the above mentioned companies headphone lineup.

Here are 4 that would serve you well (though better for a more linear frequency response, they will handle bass boosts just fine). They are in descending order of price, starting at $179 like the Beats.

Heck, for what you get out of the Solo Beats, these will compare almost as well for 1/9th the price!

I really would recommend getting one of the first four (or the Audio Technica listed by the other member) as a pair of quality headphones.

Bose headphones vs beats?

I'm thinking about buying a nice pair of headphones, I really like the BOSE AE2 headphones but everyone says beats are better. And people that say that beats are just made to look nice but music quality sucks. What should I get?

BOSE AE2- $150
Beats HSU Solo- $199
BOSE QuietComfort3 Acoustic- $349
Beats Studio- $350

Which ones should i get? I can get any of these but i want some good opinions.



Answer
Beats are not better. Whoever says beats are better must have never actually tried both beats and bose.

Bose is better by far. Beats are just made to look nice, and to capitalize off of that "by dr. dre" thing.

Get. Bose. Amazing sound fidelity.

Besides, Bose is cheaper.
