Is it possible to bust your amp by adding pedal to the Gain/Drive channel?

Pfil

I'm just wondering if that could happen because I have a VOX ToneLab LE and I used it on the Gain/Drive channel on my Fender Frontman 25R Amp. For example, I have a lead solo setting on the ToneLab I made and I add more gain by using the channel on the amp. Can that damage the amp? Another example is I'll use a clean tone on the ToneLab and add a little gain by using the channel on the amp. It sounds similar to the sound of "Icky Thump" by the White Stripes. But if I turn up volume barely on the Gain/Drive channel, it gives a huge hissing noise and annoying feedback. Anyhow, just leave some answers if it's ok or not ok to do that to my amp. Thanks!!

Answer
It will not damage your amp to use a distortion pedal in your drive channel.
what you need to do is adjust your pedal
read this page:
http://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/440615-vox-tonelab-le-straight-into-amp.html

It seems that there is an "amp sim" and "cab sim" setting you need to turn off to use it as a stompbox.

I think that the Tonelab is basically meant for direct to mixing board or recording input without going through an amp. But if you set it correctly by turning off the "sim" setting then you can use the effects without overdriving the system.
You won't break the amp, but as you saw, you get tons of hiss and feedback because of so much gain coming out of the box.
(it's kinda like taking your amp turning it all the way up and then taking the headphone out and plugging it into another amp, you've got an already amplified signal coming out of the box.)

Recording guitar amp onto PC?

somone

Ive heard mixed opinions on this, some say if I simply plug my amp's output into my sound cards mic in then I will end up blowing my sound card, and also possibly my amp/computer itself?

http://www.gearslutz.com/board/low-end-theory/356897-plugging-guitar-amp-into-computer.html says I can't? other questions on Y!A say its fine?

So, is it safe to plug my amp into my sound card's mic in or do I need special equipment to record. Its a 15w Marshall MG-FX by the way, sound card is a Creative x-fi? The amp's output is headphone output which im guessing wouldn't exactly be overkill to a sound card?

Thanks

Answer
No, your amp will NOT overload your audio card, even if you DONT use the headphone output. Your mic input doesn't receive power like that and neither does your audio card. They only receive the audio signals being put through.

What parts of headphones creates bass?

Alex

I know, after studying in Science class, that creating headphones are basically made from a nail, coil, cup and magnet, or at least that is how we made our experiments. So, if increased or decreased, what makes the bass of the sound larger? (Like comparing earphones to larger headphones something has got to be bigger that increases base?)

Answer
"Headphones make bass just like any other transducer does but because the chamber is so small inside the headphone and the driver is so close to your ear, the headphone driver has to move very little air to create the sound wave that is necessary...to produce enough bass that can be heard."

Basically what it says is The smaller the headphone the worse the base. .

Best headphones under $30?

John

I want to find some really good quality EARBUDS under $30. I also want some bass in them too. Any suggestions?

Answer
Please do yourself a favour and do NOT buy 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! If REAL quality is an issue, please go for REPUTABLE brands only such as B&W, Sennheiser (most affordable), Shure, Grado, Denon, AKG, Audio-Technica, Etymotic or Beyerdynamic. Things like Sony, Panasonic, JVC and Philips are ONLY "okay-ish".

best headphones (over ear) under $30?

Peter

i listen to hip hop so i prefer to get a set with alot of bass.

Answer
If REAL quality is an issue, please go for REPUTABLE brands only such as B&W, Sennheiser (most affordable), Shure, Grado, Denon, AKG, Audio-Technica, Etymotic or Beyerdynamic. Things like V-Moda, Klipsch, Sony, Panasonic, JVC and Philips are ONLY "okay-ish" indeed.

Also, please do NOT go for the overly thumping bass that only distorts everything else, focus on GOOD sound quality and durability IN GENERAL.

Best on/over ear headphones for under 100$ ?

Brad

I'm looking for some headphones that look great, and sound even better. I am into genres like hip hop, techno, and some rock. I also love headphones with bass.

Answer
The best headphones under $100 are the Grado SR80, the Sennheiser HD448 and the Shure SRH440. Sennheiser or Shure if you need a closed-back headphone, Grado if open-backed is ok. I'll add the Sony XB700 to the list for you since you specifically state that you want bass.

Best headphones for under Â£100?

Ollie

What are some good quality over ear headphones if I listen to dubstep and alternative music.

Answer
The Sony MDR-V6s were the first really good headphones I owned. After about 15 years of use, the foam padding was a bit run down. After doing the exhaustive search for the best headphones, I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD580s (I also own Etymotic ER-4Ps). Comparing the HD580 to my MDR-V6s, I would say that the MDR-V6s are better for two reasons. 1. The MDR-V6s are more
comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and 2. The MDR-V6s have a telephone-like cord, which is easier to deal with than the straight HD580 cord. The sound quality was very good on both headphones, and about equal. I ended up buying new foam pads for my 15-year-old MDR-V6s, which made them feel like brand new headphones. I also bought a second pair of MDR-V6s, and shelved the HD580s for now.

Can Hear from headphones but not from speakers?

Pawel Bryj

I have a Pavilion dv7 and i plugged in speakers to it, it didnt work so i took the speakers out, but now i cant hear normally from the laptop, but i can still hear from my headphones, what do i do to hear the sound from the computer?
i dont have the settings turned on headphones.

Answer
Headphone jacks usually have a contact inside them that is pushed aside when headphones are plugged in, disconnecting the speakers. Normally, headphones are used for privacy so the speakers are disconnected. When the headphones are removed, the contact can then return to place, reconnecting the speakers. Some jacks are pretty cheap, and it doesn't take much to bend the contact, thereby preventing the speakers from ever reconnecting again. Your options are to take the computer in to have the headphone jack replaced, or just forever have to use headphones.

Oh, one more option. Speakers didn't work from the jack because there wasn't enough power to drive them. But you could plug in POWERED speakers, which would sound better than the internal speakers, anyway. You can buy inexpensive powered speakers from Walmart or Target for $10 & up.

What makes good headphones/speakers?

studlymett

like what are good specifications of good headphones. which also brings me to the question of why do monitors have bad speakers? But overall what kind of specs make a good speaker? just wondering so i can learn more about speakers

Answer
i fast way to learn about good speakers is the price. Go to an electrical store and compare products, ask people who work there about speakers & compare the information on the boxes.
I guess it's got to do with output power as well. The higher the better.
Also if speakers rely on the electronic device for power, the speakers are weak & quiet. If they have their own power source, like they need a DC power point to work or take batteries, they are general louder & better quality.
Also stick to brand names. At lest then you are guaranteed warranty & good service if anything was to happen.
You can also look out for input / output options. So they can take digital input as well as the old methods of cables, optical or infer red.
I guess as a general rule that the more you spend the better quaility, but within sayign that do your reseach first & try and get what you pay for! Good luck :D

why wont my headphones work on the computer?

Emma Peck

Basically, whenever i plug into my headphones and try to play my music through there they always seem to fail.. so i tried to take matters into my hands. I started by opening the playback devices and finding out which one was my headphones and i tried to configure them and when i did the test it was fine, but when i tried to play my music again it wouldn't work i also noticed that those bars tha\t normally goe up and down when sound is made none of them where moving so im stuck ...help?

Answer
If you hear sound on your headphones during the test but not from media player then your headphones are fine. if the bars don't show on the equaliser then no music is being played so its prob your MP3 files.

How to determine sound quality in headphones?

Mike

What specifications should I be looking for and what do they mean?

Answer
The best way to test a set of headphones is to actually try them out! If you can go to a store that has several for sale, listen to a sample of music and compare the differences.

Unfortunately that option is not always practical. The next best thing to do then is to read some specs.

First I would pay attention to frequency range. The human ear can detect sound frequencies in the range between 20HZ (really low sounds) and 20,000 HZ or 20 kHz (really high pitches).

A set of headphones should have a range as wide as possible. Additionally any speaker (including headphones) is not able to reproduce the frequencies evenly. Some headphones might have a bump in higher frequencies, or may not be able to put out a certain mid frequency as loud as the signal which is put into them. A frequency response graph will show you how evenly the speakers reproduce sound. The flatter the graph, the better.

Finally make sure that the headphones are right for your purposes. Some headphones are isolating (meaning they block all outside noise). These are nice to listen with, but they can be very large and awkward. Also if you are tracking vocals with them they can be hard to hear with.

Other headphones are open, or semi-open. These tend not to block as much outside noise and can be much more comfortable. However the drawback is that you can be distracted by other noises.

Obviously price-range is a biggie too. But I will let you determine that for yourself. Try to listen to the headphones and compare before you buy. Otherwise pay attention to specs and look for reviews to hear other people's opinions.

Headphones and portable Amp preferences?

Robert

Hi im looking to get some over ear headphones that can deliver some real powerful sound (mostly bass) that work great with Phones or Laptops.

Id also like to know what you feel the best brand / model for sound and bass would be. also if its worth buying an headphone amp to accompany it? also with make / model of amp

i listen to almost all styles of music but mostly looking for powerful bass for Rock/Pop/D&B/Dubstep kind of stuff.

i have a 600w sub and amp kit in my car and i know you will never get bass the same as that but ive listened to Sennheiser HD380 over ear head phones and they have some pretty nice kick. but reading reviews they says that they are "meh" for proformance so im wondering what are the top of the line best headphones out there for pure bass and if they need to have a portable amp with them so i know what to shop around for.

looking to spend maybe $500 but willing to go as much as double that if it will really blow me away for powerful bass and sound.

for $1000 i can pretty much buy a Sony 7.2 surround sound system and hook that up to my laptop / phone for music and they have 2 powered 10inch subs running off the amp. so im trying to weigh up something on equal power for private listening.

Thanks in advance guys and girls for you feedback
Looking at the HD380 specs vs the HD650 specs what is better for powerful bass?

Frequency Response10 Hz - 39.5 kHz
Impedance300 ohm
or
Frequency Response8 Hz - 27 kHz
Impedance54 ohm

im not sure which one would have better bass?

Answer
I own the Sennheiser HD650's have had them for several years now. I also design, install, and calibrate high end audio video systems, I am also very familiar with the best in high end headphones.

The HD650's are great no question, they do need a headphone amplifier to get the best sound from them. Are they the right headphones for you since you like heavy bass ? Well although i find the bass accurate, they are a dat lean in the low bass below 50hz so they will not give you that real punch you maybe after. I think they are great, pretty detailed, very musical, and give you a honest representation of the music. I think the bass they do reproduce is accurate and has enough punch for me, but you may like a more exagerated bass like many others.

There are headphones with more punch which you may like better, but they are not accurate, they tend to emphasis the bass more than they should.

You may actually give a listen to there cheaper cousin the HD600's they are not as accurate and detailed as the HD 650's but do have a dat more punch in the bass.

There is also the Monster Beat Pro's which many like, and certainly have more punch in the bass, but again are less accurate.

Another would be the Beyer Dynamic DT880's they also have more punch in the bass, are pretty detailed.

Forget about the HD380's not in the same league.

Also forget about specifications it tells you nothing about sound quality of any audio equipment.

As for headphone amplifiers. Well one it would depend on what your source material is. If your strictly going to listen to MP3 files (which is a mistake if buying high quality headphones since your not going to get all that the headphones are capable of producing) not to mention that bass from Mp3's (along with the rest of the sound) is dynamically compressed, you may really want to consider playing high quality music files, at the very least CD quality 44.1khz 16bit. You can burn cd quality files on your computer and portable devices. There is also high resolution files from places like HD Tracks which are up to 192khz 24 bit.

Reason I say this is if you are thinking of playing higher resolution files, you should consider getting a headphone amplifier and DAC combo so you can decode high resolution files.

A killer and reasonabled price and very good sounding headphone amplifier DAC I just discovered is a really nice combination with the HD650's. Its around $699 called the HIFI M8. its available in different configurations and is even portable with built in rechargeable battery for listening outside the home.

I heard it at the high end audio show this last June and it sounded very very good. It has great flexibility adjustablity and drives the Sennheisers nicely, and Im sure just about any other headphone.

Any other questions feel free to ask

How can I get the most out of my Sennheiser HD 595 headphones?

Hello

A couple days ago I purchased a pair of HD595s, which will get here sometime soon. The question I have regards producing high enough quality sound to serve these headphones justice. I understand that an ipod cannot nearly drive these headphones as they should sound, as the reproduction is poor, but I do not know what I need to buy to get to that "hi-fi" level?

I have read about headphone amps, and will probably purchase one sometime soon. Any reccomendations? Also is there even a point of using a headphone amp with an ipod or will the sound still be poor?

One last thing, I am also looking to buy a decent firewire interface to start some recording projects (RME Fireface 800). Will this sound card reproduce the high quality audio I need to enjoy my HD595s?

Answer
an amp/dac combo like the fiio e7 will be fine for powering the HD595's. It doesn't act as a dac through the ipod output though.. only an amp. when plugged into a laptop the dac in the fiio bypasses the laptops dac so you'll get a better sound. the hd595 is a high sensitivity low impedance headphone so they can be powered pretty good without an amp but i feel they sound much better with one. you could always get a separate amp and dac to use with your ipod. I've always liked Ibasso products... you could look into them.
the last question is a little out of my knowledge

Volume low. 4 headphones with splitter + extension cord?

Zarar

I wanna use 4 headphones with are connected to a splitter then splitter to extension cord , that is making voice low , any solution
is it possbile to add current to get more volume as i think

Answer
Yes - headphone amp with 4 outputs:

Can you split a headphone splitter?

Ryan

So I have a two-way headphone splitter, but I need 3 headphone jacks. Can I buy another splitter, and split one of the jacks of the original splitter for 3 headphone jacks? Will I lose any audio quality/channels?

Answer
Yes you can split an already split output.

BUT .... headphones are rated at a certain number of ohms, 4-8 ohms is fairly standard. The output of your player will work best into a single 4-8 ohm load. Every time you split the output it will make the load the player sees as half what it is expecting .... so two sets will appear as 2-4 ohms and 3 sets will appear as 1-2 ohms etc etc.You can eventually expect to lose some quality and/or level but BE AWARE that if you plug in significantly DIFFERENT headsets into the splits you will get different levels in each set, possibly robbing one or more other sets of audio or quality completely.

There is a point where splitting and splitting again will just not be viable, then you need to buy a specialist headphone splitter ... but you really don't want to go there.

I suggest you get onto E-Bay and search for "audio splitter" or similar and you should find stacks of Chinese sites and one or two Australian sites (if you live in Australia) offering splitters for two or three bucks DELIVERED (make sure the plug configuration matches your particular device). Order one, wait a couple of weeks until it arrives and try the three-way split ... if it doesn't give good results you've only lost a couple of bucks.

Alternatively you can buy a re-transmitter that plugs into your headphone output. Everyone can then tune into the transmitted FM frequency and hear the same as you. No wires and no loading problems ... but more expensive.

audacity recording problem, can still here my own voice?

Dan E.

when i record a song i record vocals and acoustic together as a base track. then i overdub the acoustic and voice seperately. The problem is i can still here the ghost track very faintly even when it is muted. i use my laptops microphone and earphone jack imputs to record. i listen to the base track while recording. does anyone know how i can solve this issue so i cant here the faint base track?

Answer
This sounds like your headphones are up too high during your recording causing leakage between your headphones and your microphone.

how to hear myself recording vocals through my headphones?

spinnerz

i need to know how to hear myself record AS I RECORD. im sick of having to record, then play it back to see if im satisfied. i wanna be able to have the music and my vocals at same time as i speak (whether be thru my headphones or speakers).....i have a dell inspiron laptop...i got a sterling ST55 mic, M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface, and using audacity/acid pro F.Y.I.......my sound card is the microsoft high deff audio device so i dont have "sterio mix" what do i do????

also tried to download realtek audio devices and after i download they do not appear to be in my audio selection where it should be....WTF

Answer
I thought you said that you are using the M-Audio Fast Track Pro? You should not be using the Microsoft built-in audio chip. First, make sure that you have the fast track pro selected as the inputs an outputs in Audacity.

You need to use the built-in hardware monitoring of the M-Audio interface. It allows the incoming audio to be mixed with any audio being played back from Audacity and then sends it to your headphones.

Check this FAQ out from M-Audio...it covers most of this:

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:

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.

Sorry to say, even with a headset, the main sound will still come through your TV. The only sound heard on the headset is voice chat (between you and other online players) A USB headset should work though.

headphones?

ever so sh

what are the best looking and best preforming headphones please and thanks.

Answer
You should get some JVC Gumys, they're awesome, they have a Gold-Plated plug for good corrosion resistance & good conductivity, Neodymium magnets for good bass & clear treble, & a rubbery coating over their plastic body, & they're small & light-weight too. These are some of the best Non-Noise Isolation headphones I've ever heard & they look cool too. I wear mine for hours on end & they never even bug me, they're only like $10 @ Walmart & @ Walmart's online store. The only downsides I've seen to them is that they're a little delicate & they can't put out as much bass as I'd expected, but the bass they do put out sounds really good. They're available in lots of colors too.

Or, if you wanna get some really high-end but still affordable headphones, you should get some Sony Fontopias, they also have a Gold-Plated plug for good corrosion resistance & good conductivity, Neodymium magnets for good bass & clear treble, & they're small & light-weight too. They also have an Oxygen-Free Copper Cable, or OFC Cable for short, which helps with High Signal Transmission & Low Cable Noise. They're Noise Isolation headphones, so they block out around 90% of the noise around you, so all you hear is your music. These headphones are some of the best Noise Isolation headphones I've ever heard, & they also look cool too. They cost around $40 @ Walmart, but only around $25 @ Walmart's online store, & they come with a little case to put them in & small/medium/large earpads so you can find the right pads for your ears, the earpads are made of silicon, so they're comfortable, & washable when removed from the headphone. When you're wearing them, & something taps the cable, you can here the tapping in the headphones, which some people consider a downside, but all Noise Isolation headphones do that, & once you've gotten used to wearing the headphones, you won't even realize the tapping, remember the tapping only happens when something touches the cable, & you really only ear it if you have them in but don't have music playing, if you have music playing, you won't hear the tapping @ all. They're also available in lots of colors too.

Wow this is a long answer, I guess I should stop, sorry I got carried away, hope I helped!

I added links to the headphones below so you can check them out.

Is the latest version of apple headphones?

Jordan

I was wondering if this is the latest version of the apple headphones. These are cheaper so thats why im not buying it direct from apple but from amazon.

Here is the amazon headphones im not sure about being the latest:

http://www.amazon.com/Apple-ear-Headphones-Remote-Mic/dp/B001N9YIJG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1261519992&sr=8-1

Here is the link im sure of. Directly from the apple website:

http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA850G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Ng&mco=MTA4NTA2NzA&p=2&s=priceLH

So basically im asking if the above amazon link is the latest. thanks. Best answer is up for grabs...

Answer
Yes, I am 100% sure those are the same exact sets of headphones. All the stats on both sites match up exactly.

Do I need a headphone amp for my SennHeiser HD650s if I have a Cakewalk FA-66 audio interface?

perplexshy

I have a Cakewalk FA-66 firewire audio interface. I just purchased some Sennheiser Hd650 headphones. Do I need a headphone amp or is the FA-66 interface enough? I tried looking at the headphone output stats for the FA-66 but the manual/site does not say anything about it. It only mentions preamps for the xlr inputs.

But basically, I just need to know if I need a separate headphone amp to run from the headphone jack of the FA-66? Also, is this too many devices in the chain that will damage the sound? Please help.

Answer
That is a nice interface - I am sure it will drive those headphones just fine. "Pro grade" equipment like that almost always comes with a nice beefy headphone amp because many musicians and engineers like to monitor LOUDLY (and many are going deaf). I'll bet you will be very happy with it.

Will using more expensive headphones improve sound quality on my computer?- 10 points for most informative!?

Simon

Right. I've got no actual sound 'card' seeing as i;ve got a built in one.
I've got no hope of upgrading it- as i havent actually got a PCI slot. only agp.
SO...
I'm using terrible over-the-ear headphones that i got from the local supermarket at the moment- i chose these because i found that my two speakers just simply weren't delivering any bass.
What i;ve got not isnt exactly terrible, but i just want to know if i'll get the sound quality close to that of speakers+subwoofer.

so i switched to those...
but now i'm wonding, will i get any better sound quality with more expensive headphones?
seeing as though they're just going to connect to my comp via the same headphone jack socket thingy.

Any1 got any ideas?
(looking to do some Cubase stuff laer on, with a usb keyboard- thats how i'll get around the sound card thing)

Thanks muchly.

OH yeah, 10 points for best answer, i'll be checking up on it every 5 mins or so.

ta.
Yeah, its a crappy old compaq- onboard sound chip- so i can;t connect a subwoofer. :(

Answer
The headphones you have can make a HUGE difference to the sound quality. Just like speakers - higher quality means better sound reproduction. There is a but coming though - the quality offered by the listening equipment can never exceed the quality of the output (from your computer).

Consider though, many on board audio chipsets are the same. (There are two or three manufacturer's used that I can think of). My laptop for instance has an ESS audio chipshet. The laptop speakers sound very tinny and lack lustre however, if I connect my Creative Labs speaker system the sound is much clearer and deeper. The same is true of headphones. I have a set of in-ear Sony headphones which I use for my Mini-Disk which produce great sound from my laptop, the basic headphone/microphone set I have for VoIP use sounds pretty mediocre in comparrison. Finally I have a set of headphones for one of my gaming machines which I bought about 6 years ago which have an in built woofer (and audio vibration feedback system) and sound incredible.

It all depends on what you want to pay, but a decent set of Sony/Philips headphones will sound incredible next to what you are hearing right now.

Equally, if you get yourself a set of Creative Labs speakers with a sub woofer set the sound will be dramatically improved.

Good luck.

(UPDATE) It is worth noting that many of the Creative Labs PC speaker sets simply require a stereo input to be able to operate an effective sub-woofer.

Take a look at the Inspire T3100 set (see the sources list) - great sound quality for under $50.

If you have money to burn the Aurvana Live (sources) headphones are great, but $150. If not the Fatal1ty headphones will give you fantastic sound (and a microphone) for $50.

Best headphone brands with really good sound quality?

Why Hello

I've done my research and I've already heard that Beats, Skullcandy, and Bose aren't worth it. Instead, I've seen a lot of good reviews on Sennheiser, Grado, Denon, Shure, Audio Technica, etc, but I can't seem to decide from which brand I should buy over-the-ear headphones from. I don't really care too much about the price, as long as it's under $500. In your experience, which brand would you say is the best in delivering high-quality sound?

Thanks.

Answer
Just like loudspeakers all headphones have completely different sound quality's, so we cannot hear for you and its hard to hear every model as most headphones are not available for audition.

So our best bet is to go by reviews. This also is were it gets tricky as there are only a handful of audio specialist I would trust their opinions so choose your resources very carefully.

The best place to get good advice and reviews is Absolute Sound, and Stereophile. The reviewers are very knowledgeable, know good sound, and have years of experience. They also review the better headphones on the market. I will include a link to their sites, and Absolute sound also has some really good 'free" down-loadable user guides and reviews on headphones I think you will find very use full.

"but" before you run out and buy the best headphones you think are going to have the sound you want, understand the requirements of the headphones to get good sound. Most high quality headphones benefit largely from a good headphone amplifier. Granted on many headphones you can always add one down the line, but its important to know so you aren't to disappointed in the sound you get when you first get them.

Second is to understand the importance in the source material. Forget about playing Mp3's its a waist of time and will sound like crap on even the best headphones. You need to ether play cd's or high resolution music downloads, or even analog records.

Keep in mind if your wanting to use them with a ipod you can burn Cd's at full resolution onto itunes, which will give you cd quality music on your ipod.

As for brands and your price range, Absolutely Sennheiser are great I own a pair of HD650's which I think are excellent, and they can work directly with a ipod, you wont get really high volumes, but sound good. Sennheiser do sound better with a headphone amplifier as do most but they are not bad. They are a dat shy in the low bass in my opinion but the bass is very detailed and articulate. You might check out the HD600's they have alittle more punch in the bass certainly not as accurate in the bass and not as detailed but they might have more the sound your after.

There are many other brands you certainly want to look into, Hifiman, AKG, Grado's, Beyerdynamics,

My all time favorites are still the Stax but are very expensive and must be driven by a high quality headphone amplifier. The Hifiman are getting all the hot reviews right now but have no dealers so you have to buy direct.

Headphones?

KitCat

The pair of headphones that came with my iPod nano are getting kind of crummy, so I'm looking into getting some new ones. I like the in-ear (earbud type) kind best but others are okay also. I have about 75 dollars to work with and I'd like to get a pair of really nice ones. I listen to music a lot, and I listen to all types including classical and jazz. I want really good sound quality and a pair of headphones that will last a long time and work with any mp3 player.

If you have any pairs you would reccomend to me, that would be great!!

Thanks so much in advance!!!!

Answer
I use a folding pair of Philips "behind the head" headphones. Have had them for over a year and they work great. I got them off Amazon.com as a 2 pack with a second pair of Philips "behind the head" headphones (non-folding) for use as a spare for about US$25. The model number of the folding pair is: HS820 and the non-folding are just as good and are model number: HS500 and have a safety feature to help avoid the dreaded "short in the wires" that headphones eventually suffer. Amazon.com currently has the folding pair for about US$20 but are out of stock on the other. I'd recommend either pair if it doesn't matter if you have earbuds. Link to Amazon.com's listing for the folding HS820 is included below.

Jazz music is dying out?

Nathan Gra

I'm a 15 year old, thinking about my future. Honestly, my passion is jazz. I play saxophone, and I love jazz. Problem is, jazz is dying out. It is a laughing matter now. If you go to school and say you listen to jazz, you get laughed at and get picked on for not listening this crap hoard of sounds, supposedly known as "music" (somehow?) made by Nicki Minaj and Lil wayne... I can't stand it. When someone gives me their headphones, and says "listen to this song!" and i hear it is lil wayne er whatever, I can't hear any music whatsoever. I couldn't like it even if I tried my hardest. I honestly think people only listen it to be "cool."
I was thinking about my future. I really wanna be a musician, as a saxophonist. But I can't when my favorite genre is dying out. I kind of want to somehow, resurrect jazz. Any form of networking makes it seem like it is the most boring thing in the world. Like seeing it in a commercial, it looks like a low quality, boring, local commercial. I want to advertise jazz as something really interesting. I've gotten a fairly good understanding of what people are attracted to. I want to make it seem like YOU are the "cool" one if you have any thing to do with jazz. I want to make band the type of thing every one wants to be in, like the 60s. I don't want it to die.
However, jazz dying out, I have no idea how I could advertise it with no money. I want music to be a career, but I can't really when it's kind of.. dead.
kjsdfkjghlkjfsg what do I do >.>
What is your opinion on the music industry?

Answer
First, thank you for your devotion to jazz. That's the first thing that will help keep jazz alive. There are a lot of young people here in Seattle who are very active in nationally recognized school jazz bands. Many of them go on to successful music careers. You are not alone, and I am grateful to you all for your contributions. There are a lot of institutions working to keep jazz education going and this gives me hope.

The second thing that will keep jazz alive is an audience. I really don't know whether it's growing or not. Your question has started me on some research. So far, I see unclear results with no firm conclusion. The fact that there is information available on jazz audience demographics at least demonstrates that there are people and institutions working to understand what's really going on. That also gives me hope for jazz.

What I can say, from my own experience, is that there are a lot of people, young and old, who are deeply interested in jazz here in Seattle. Jazz lovers are a small but devoted bunch. I can go out to a club or concert hall any day of any week here (well, not Christmas Day) and hear live jazz by local musicians- and I'm not alone in the audience. I can also say that there are lots of people may not count jazz as their favorite type of music, but who find some kind of jazz that they enjoy at least part of the time they listen. So this gives me hope.

The music industry as a whole is, has been, and probably always will be a tough business focused on the latest thing and a fast buck. Jazz musicians - musicians in general - have always had a challenging time. I know that there are people here in Seattle who, through a combination of teaching, gigging, recording, arranging, whatever, are raising families on jazz. Maybe not getting rich like Kenny G, but getting along and doing it while doing something they love.

Also, since it's alive, it keeps changing. It's mixing and merging with new classical music, world musics, rock, even hip-hop and rap. Jazz is not going to die out, but it will change. And that's as it should be.

There are young people out there who share your interest in jazz. I wish I knew how to help you get in touch with them, but I don't. Garfield High School and Roosevelt High School here in Seattle have excellent jazz band programs. There are high school jazz band competitions all over the US - maybe there's one near you. Cornish College and University of Washington in Seattle have strong jazz programs. Check out "Racer Sessions" on Facebook to see what a lot of young folks here are doing. YouTube has some videos recorded at The Royal Room here, jazz and otherwise.

I hope this helps. Good luck and best wishes.

Question about Headphones?

Nyan Cat

Okay so a lot of my friends are raving about their awesome headphones and how it sounds so awesome. I tried a few of theirs and liked em better than my apple ear-buds. I've decided to get my own but I want to know what specs to look for, so im not just buying randomly

Answer
The only measurable specs to headphones are things like frequency response and sensitivity; the important things can't be quantified by a computer.
Audiophiles have an entire encyclopedia of words to describe sound quality, and you can either ask them how good a headphone sounds or try it out yourself. Unfortunately, the try before you buy record store is a dying breed, so unless you can get to 32 Ohm (iirc) in Portland, you have to go off subjective reviews.
Here's a guide from an audiophile website to get you started. If you want more specifics you can post a question or look for reviews.
ps Avoid Beats, Bose, and Skullcandy. If you don't believe me post a question on Head-fi.

Best ear/headphones under $50?

NayLoMo6C

I just bought a Cowon S9 (best sounding MP3 player ever created) and I am looking to get a new pair of earphone or headphone but with a budget of $50 or less. I used to have the Shure SE-420 but had to sell it to pay off some debt. I am looking for something with great sound and noise isolation, at the same time really durable, as my other headphones have ALWAYS died on me. I am currently leaning towards the Sennheiser CX300s, but reviews have mentioned that it isn't durable. What are some other good phones out there?

Answer
Seems like you're used to higher-end audio, what with the SE420s and the S9. The CX300s will seem severely lacking in detail to you and the bass will be too muddy.

MeElec AI-M9 ($20 overstock.com) - Incredible detail for the price, very balanced, good treble extension and clean bass, great customer support
Soundmagic PL21 ($21 dealperfect.com) - Powerful bass, very full-sounding, not as accurate and balanced as PL30 but a more "popular" sound signature
Soundmagic PL30 ($23 mp4nation.net) - Fun, forward mids, lots of accessories, comfy
Lenntek Sonix ($30 smalldog.com) - Deep bass, focus on mids and lows, cheap, very well-built
Head-Direct RE2 ($39 head-direct.com) - Very detailed headphones for the price if somewhat cold and bright, forward upper mids/highs, subdued but accurate bass. Need warm amp to shine.
MeElec AI-M6 ($40 overstock.com) - Same as AI-M9 in a different (more comfortable) form factor. I very much prefer these to the M9.
Maximo iM-590 ($50 amazon.com) - Punchy, comfortable, very well-balanced. Great build quality and accessories. 2yr warranty with excellent customer service.
Soundmagic PL50 ($55 dealperfect.com) - Smooth, full, balanced, relatively detailed, somewhat on the warm side. Has good extension on both ends.
Nuforce NE-7M ($55 amazon.com) - Strong bass, fun, slightly warm, popular bang-for-the-buck recommendation, great customer service

Need a good new pair of headphones under Â£50?

ChopSuey

I need a decent new pair of headphones. My priority is Noise Leakage, I like my music quite loud, and I am sick of having to turn it down for the benefit of other people. I'm not sure if this is the same thing as Noise Canceling? Decent sound quality and bass would be welcome extras, and they have to be in-ear iPod style headphones. If possible under Â£50 ($70). Thanks for any help.
I live in the UK, hence the Â£ sign. So no I will not go to WalMart. And I think it's pathetic someone could not give me a little more detail.

Answer
noise canceling phones have a small microphone in them that detects what kind of noise is around you, and generates a tone 180 degrees of that. it kind of cancels out the noise, but it also makes kind of a 'white noise.'
if you don't want 'phones that disturb people around you, you'll most likely want some closed ones, instead of open ones.
Sennheiser's a great brand, and for closed phones in the low price range, they have the hd201, hd202, and hd280 pro. the 280s are all around better, better quality, sound quality, noise cancellation, insulation, and comfort, but they're also more expensive. Comparing the 202s to the 201s, the 201s have a tiny bit better quality, and are more balanced. the 202s are more bass-heavy, and sound better than the 201s when plugged into an amp or receiver.

What are the best over the ear headphones in a price range from 100-300 dollars?

Jordan

I have been looking for a pair of headphones over the past month or so, and have not been too successful. I really love my music, I listen to it a lot, but I don't DJ or any of that business. So overall, I'm looking for comfort, quality, and style (the first two being the most important) in a pair of headphones, and I don't want to dump cash towards worthless headphones. Out of my month of research (which was very vague, don't criticize me >.<) I came up with 3 options. I am completely open to more suggestions, but I would like a reasons behind your thoughts.Thank you so much!

-Sennheiser (not sure on the model)
-Beats by Dre Pro
-Audio-Technica (not sure on the model)

The beats are on the list solely because my brother works at Best Buy, and I can get an awesome discount, I know they're overpriced, but I can get them about 50-65% off

Answer
First off, Beats at 50% to 65% off are still overpriced.....

If we're going up to $300 then you could look at the following headphones which I own and love:
Sennheiser HD 25-1 II
Bowers and Wilkins P5

The B&Ws are more expensive (at $300 versus the Sennheisers at $200), but the difference is worth it to me. The sound is more balanced and the headphones are more comfortable and better looking. The Sennheisers still sound great, but they seem to be just a little bit too bright sometimes. They're also extremely sturdy headphones, being a professional model, but kinda plain looking.

You could also look at the Audio Technica ATH-M50 which seems to be recommended quite often as a Beats replacement. I haven't actually heard this headphone yet, but the reviews on http://www.head-fi.org are pretty good.

My best advice to you would be to spend some time hanging out on HeadFi, reading reviews of the headphones I've mentioned and the ones that I'm sure other people will mention. Before long you'll come up with a list of headphones that you're interested in checking out. Now comes the fun part - load up your iPod with some favorite tunes and head off to a shop somewhere to listen and compare. And whatever you decide to get, you'll know that you decided for a good reason instead of just making a random purchase...

Do bass headphones work on downloaded songs?

Martin

I might get some ifrogz dj style headphones that bring out the bass in the songs, but I don't know if they work on downloaded songs like limewire since they are downloaded and not bought from the store so maybe that bass feature may not work on my headphones

Answer
This is a difficult question to answer, because you need to know the quality of the song you are downloading. Downloading songs illegally via things like limewire gives you a wide range of quality.

Overall, there will be no compatibility issues with the headphones (the song will still play), but low quality songs will start to sound terrible.

To check the quality of songs:

On windows, right-click and click "properties" click on "summary" and then click on "advanced" under the audio section you will see something that says "bitrate" the lower, the worse the song will sound. (iTunes songs are at 256 kbps)

On a mac, locate your songs in iTunes and select it. Press cmd-i and locate the bitrate in kbps. Songs from the iTunes library are 256kbps, the lower the worse quality.

Headphones!?

Q. I've got a new mp3-player and want to buy a pair of new headphones. Can anyone recomend a pair of good headphones, they don't have to be very cheap... just be at a reasonable price range, with good sound quality.

Answer
The very very best sound quality are the Bose In-Ear Headphones.. Though they are 100 bucks, I seriously mean they are absolutely the best headhones. Believe me!!

The sound is excellent. You put them in and listen to the song/ music, and its so precise, you can understand everything you hear so much better, and when listening, you can't hear anything from the outside world. Believe me, you will NOT be dissapointed!

You can hear echos, instruments that you've never heard before with regular headphones, and voices so so clearly, you've never heard anything like it.

Trust me, it is the best 100 bucks I've spent. Now, whe nI am forced to use ordinary iPod earphones, I am actually in pain, compared to what I'm so used to. They're perfect.

Headphones/earbuds with the best bass for under $100?

Josh T

I have a pair of sony noise cancelling headphones that are about a year and ahalf old and i want a newer pair with better bass. y'know headphones that sound like you stuck a subwoofer in them.

Answer
The Creative EP-630 has a warm bassy sound, and is relatively cheap too. More expensive earbuds tend to be more balanced. The Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 EB Extended Bass is probably the earbud you want, because it has an encapsulated subwoofer, but it is a little over your price range. Try ebay. For earbuds, a portable amp like the Fiio E5 would extend the bass alot. I don't know much about over-ear headphones though. They might give you more bass. Check head-fi.org for reviews and impressions.
