Regarding Headphones?

Q. Hey,

I have a pressing question.
I have seen in many audio reviews that the best headphone under $200 (compared with price, reliability and sound quality), is the Audio Technica ATH M-50...
Is that still the case now (in December 2013)?

Thinking of buying a set of headphones, and need your opinion on a good set of headphones with great sound quality.

Sound quality is No.1 for me and a bit of bass is acceptable as well. and I prefer to get one which has great build quality.

Hope you have some advice for me!

Cheers...

Answer
Alan gives some really great advice...(a welcome change from some of the usual 'rants' that one particular contributor posts)...

The Audio Technica M50 is a reference headphone, it does offer great sound quality...if that is what you are looking for..?

Some consumer level headphones - even though they are marketed as 'Pro' - emphasise sound frequencies to 'enhance' the listening experience...some people like the 'Beats' sound with enhanced Bass...other people prefer a 'sparkly warm sound' with not as much bass and a slight emphasis on the treble...different headphones have different sound signatures and sound different...as Alan says the only way to know what suits you best is to try and find somewhere that stocks the headphones and lets you try them out before you buy them...even after buying a headphone, when you get it home and get it out the box it might sound different (not as good and you might not like it)...you sometimes need to run a new headphone in (burn it in 'warm it up') and this can take a couple of days - if you have the patience though once a headphone settles its a most enjoyable experience...providibg you have made a good choice...

I reckon the V-Moda M80 is about the best headphone kicking about at your price range right now....military grade 'build quality' and the sound is nice...I need replaceable cables and that's another reason why i'd pick it.

what are some new best headphones for 2013?

Q. ive asked this question a year and half ago and i decided that i wanted to revisit this question.

what are some good over-the-ear headphones that sound great, have little to no sound leaks, and are comfortable for on the go?

im a big audiophile when it comes to how my music sounds and i've been trying to look for the perfect pair for a long time. i don't want beats by Dre because those are horrible and over priced (just so we're clear on that :) )

Answer
Affordability, I would go with the Crossfade lps by V moda. Soundwise, Monster Inspiration.

HP monitor headphone jack?

Q. How can I get sound to my headphones or speakers from a monitor that doesn't have a headphone jack?

Answer
Assuming the monitor has built in speakers and is plugged into PC sound card, you will need a splitter that plugs into same port monitor speaker was using. Now plug monitor speakers into one side of splitter and headphones into other side. There is possibly a headphone jack on the front of your PC.

Will headphones work on my monitor?

Q. I'm going to buy a benq monitor, it will be only used for gaming with my xbox. I was wondering if i plug in my xbox to my monitor with an hdmi if I can plug in a standard headset into the jack of the monitor and be able to hear the xbox sound out of it?

Answer
I believe the other answer is incorrect because they misunderstood your question. Their answer might be right if you were plugging your headset into the xbox. Your plan should work because the HDMI will send sound to your monitor and as long the monitor has a headphone jack your headphones will work. One thing is if your headset has a mic, monitors don't usually have microphone jacks because they don't send any sound back through the hdmi port. You can also buy a headset that's mean for an xbox, that way the microphone will work.

Beats vs Other Headphones?

Q. I wanted to know which would be the best headphones for my to buy in terms of:
price
sound quality
look and feel
comfort
and durability of the headphones.

After trying out my friend's Beats, I really wanted to get some, since they were like nothing I'd ever heard before. But now that i'm able to get some, i've been reading and watching reviews saying that they're not really that good.
I mostly listen to rock, classical and acoustic style music, so i'm looking for headphones that will sound best with those types.
I mean, when i listened to the Beats, they sounded amazing, but is there something better that i can get for a better price?
could you be a little more specific?
because i keep hearing stuff like that "they're just fashion statements"
but when i listened to them, they sounded incredibly good.

Answer
Hi Eric. The Beats are not actually bad headphones. They're just vastly overpriced. If the Solos cost about $100 then they might be a good buy. But at $200? Nah... The thing is that most people who rave about the Beats have upgraded from stock iPod buds, or cheap Skullcandys, and yeah, the Beats will be vastly better. But that doesn't mean they're the best available for the money. Brands such as Shure, Grado, Sennheiser, Audio-Technica etc may not be as flashy and trendy, and they don't have celebrity names plastered all over them, but they make fantastic headphones for people who are really passionate about sound quality. If you can, get yourself to a store and compare the Beats to the Audio Technica ATH-M50s, the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II, or any Grados from the $80 SR60s upwards. I'm pretty sure you'll soon realize that the Beats aren't that good after all.

Headphone Question? (Sony vs. beats by dre?)?

Q. I already own the beats by dre tours, I got them as a birthday gift, but I want to own a pair of overhead headphones. (tours are earbuds) im not buying the $300-$400 beats cause Im on a $90 budget.

So i picked the sony xb700 extra bass headphones, are they really really bassy, btw im not going to buy any grados that are $1000, but I have read reviews about the xb700's and they get great reviews everytime.... So if you could tell me if there worth it? Im a basshead and i want these since they seem like there subwoofers around your ears.

Answer
The MDR-7506 is a large diaphragm foldable headphone designed for professional studio and
live/broadcast applications. They have become an industry standard in recording studios around the
world. Their full range sound and portability all add up to a great pair of cans!

The Sony MDR-7506 really is one of those headphones that some artists just flat out demand to have in the studio. Whether it's because they either don't know any other headphones, these are the most comfortable they ever used, or they determined after an exhaustive shootout that they perform better with a pair MDR-7506 on their heads, you just plain have to have a pair or two or more for your
professional studio

How to wear headphones while running?

Q. ok so i dont have a job and i buy cheap headphones at target which are only $10. The left earbud is already going on and off when i move around, its so annoying. So what would be the best way to wear headphones while going for a jog, for instance, should i have the cord between me and my shirt or on the outside. and should i put the excess hanging cord line in my pocket that my phone is in or just let the cord hang and move around? i want to eliminate or lessen the earbud from dying out.

Answer
Well cheap headphones do have problems. Especially right where the phones plug into the music player.

I also buy cheap headphones. I get the over-the-ear kind for $10 at CVS or Walgreens. Colby and Sony both make some $10 over the ear headphones that are nice and light and don't have really long cords. If the pads rot, Radio Shack had replacement pads. I usually get a year or two from mine.

I think over-the-ear headphones are the best. Unlike earbuds they don't slip out because of all the jogging; they allow ambient noise in thru the sides so you can still be aware of your surroundings; you don't have the sound of the cable bumping against things being transmitted directly to your ear drums; and when it's cold, they keep your ears warm.

I keep my iPod in my short's pocket, and I put the headphone on backwards and let the cord go down my back. But I've seen lots of people who run the cable under their shirt. I guess you should also look for headphones that don't have really long cords.

Would These headphones be good for Running?

Q. Im going to purchases these headphones: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Wireless-Headphones-Headset-Cancellation/dp/B008NMWBBS/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=15Z80HZ35LO5J&coliid=I3CNBMJN36T8MW

But im not sure if they will be good for running, like I dont want them to slim off or irritate me?
Thanks

Answer
Hi, that kind of headphones isn't good for running, the best are : "earphones" , why this? because it has sound isolation when you put them in your ears, that kind of headphone you wish to buy is open air, it means you can hear all external sounds and the music you listen, so you have to volumen up to listen your music but trust me your ears will have a seriously pain with time; any earphone more than $50.00 is worth it, and perhaps you'll never use another cheap headset because the sound quality, you can find a lot of them in amazon, brands recommended: sennheiser, sony, panasonic. Also you can find bluetooth version of earphones, just have to find the best for your needs: more battery life

What are good in-ear headphones for 30-40 dollars?

nobody ha!

Answer
My personal favorite are the skullcandy ink'd in-ear headphones which retail for around $20. Although they have good sound quality for the price, I must warn you that they are not super durable, and might break after 3-4 months. However, they have a lifetime warranty, so that really isn't a problem, but if you can live without your headphones for 3-4 weeks, buy two pairs from f.y.e, where they are around like $12 each.

Best pair of in-ear headphones between 20 and 30 dollars?

Q. I'm thinking about Christmas presents and i could use a pair of earbuds. Does anybody have any recommendations for less than 30 dollars?

Answer
Lots of good earphones out there that you don't have to pay too much for . For my everyday earphone I'm using a VSonic GR02 Bass Edition which is currently about $35 on amazon. Great bass but also very clear. For you I would recommend the Philips SHE3580 or 3590 (same thing) - super cheap and has very good reviews even on audiophile forums - way better than many sets costing many times more.

My other recommendation would be check out user and expert reviews on the audiophile forum head-fi.org . Some very knowledgeable people there. This is also a great resource: http://theheadphonelist.com/headphone-list/ . It has some good earbuds organized by sound and price - just find the best ones in your budget that are also available in your local stores. The SHE3580 is recommended here: http://theheadphonelist.com/articles/earphone-buyers-guide/

Best ear/headphones under $50?

Q. 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 £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 £50 ($70). Thanks for any help.
I live in the UK, hence the £ 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.

How to Shorten Headphones?

Samantha J

Is it possible to cut and tape the headphone cord and have it work like new without going through the trouble of soldering; like they way you would with speaker wire?
I don't trust myself with solder.

Answer
that seems like a waste of time and probably won't work very well. If you go to walmart (or target or probably any store like that) they sell little plastic things that look like thread spoils that you can wrap your excess headphone wires on. It's in the section with the headphones.

guitar headphones???

geetarsolo

i had 150 dollar bose around-ear head phones and i thought they would be great to plug into my guitar amp...until they broke. It was a short in the wire so I bought a new plug-in piece and tried to fix it but it didn't work. I just read the warrenty info and learned that it wasnt up but since I tampered with them, it is no longer valid. All i have now is ear phone type headphones that are pretty cheap. Will these work or do i need to buy new headphones?

Answer
I've been in electronics for far too many years.

While you may have had a great set of headphones, $150 is too much to spend for use on a guitar amp.

Go to Radio Shack and look at the selection. I think they even have a set on sale this week for under $40.

I have a set that goes back 30+ years, and still sounds pretty good. Over-the-ear cushions, 1/4" Mic plug. Very good frequency response.

You have to be careful, though, using them with a guitar amp. That amp can put out a lot of wattage; and unless your headphone jack has power limiting, it can blow the earphone drivers.

Good thing about Radio Shack; if you don't like something you bought, you can return it within 30 days as long as you keep the original packaging (and receipt) and the device is still in sellable condition.

Headphones? Electric Guitar?

Q. My husband wants headphones for his electric guitar or amp or something. Can any headphones work? What are the best? How much do they usually run? Where can I buy them at?

Answer
Ok. You can get anykind of headphones that you want as long as you get an adapter for the 1/8 inch jacks to the standard 1/4 inch guitar jack. If you have no idea what i just said, Write this down, go to a radio shack (Or some other electronics store) and tell them that you want a 1/8 in. to a 1/4 in adapter. Here is a picture of one...It's the big one on top.

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062463&cp=&sr=1&origkw=1%2F4+inch&kw=1%2F4+inch&parentPage=search

I Did this instead of having to buy specialty headphones so i can use them for both music and guitar. if you already have a good pair of headphones, just use those. if you don't go here...

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Sennheiser-HD201-Pro-Closed-Back-Headphones?sku=242417

This one actually comes with that adapter.

Moderately priced headphones?

Q. My boyfriend and I have our 4th anniversary coming up, as well as his 22nd birthday a few days after, I'm already getting him a watch and I wanted to get him a new set of headphones. I don't want cheap, but I definately can't afford beats audio or anything like that. Does anyone know of any good quality brands that are around $50? Maybe a little higher. All in all I'm looking for best quality with a more modest priceline. Any advice helps! Thanks!

Answer
Hey, Courtney

There are a wide selection of headphones available on the market at the moment, and for the most part, the quality of the craftmanship and sound will depend on the price that you are willing to spend. On the lower price range (less than $50), you will be able to find some no too shabby headphones that will be perfect for someone who is just planning to listen to music on their iPod or computer, and are not full-on audiophiles. In the medium price range ($50-150), you will get a great selection of very high quality headphones that would be perfect for nearly everyone who is not involved with music professionally. The sound quality of these headphones are going to be suberb, should block out nearly all background noise, and will be of a quality craftmanship that will last for a very long time. On the expensive end of things ($150 and up), you are going to get into professional quality headphones. For most people this will be a bit too much as they provide a quality of sound that is amazing, but is generally only sought after by professionals who are working on their own music (or the type of consumers who make sure that their house is wired with the best speaker systems on the market).

Depending on the amount you are willing to spend, my top five recommendations (from cheapest to most expensive) would be:

Sennheiser HD 202 II Professional

http://headphones.respectablereviews.com/sennheiser-hd-202-ii-professional/

This model provides good insulation against background noise and has a solid bass range and response time. Perfect for someone who is wanting an affordable set of quality headphones.

Sennheiser RS120

http://headphones.respectablereviews.com/sennheiser-rs120/

These are very affordable for wireless headphones. They feature an open-ear system with a strong bass response. Because they're wireless, you don't even have to be in the same room as what is transmitting the sound, giving you ultimate range while listening to music. Very lightweight and a high quality. I have this set for using around my home.

Sennheiser HD280 Professional

http://headphones.respectablereviews.com/sennheiser-hd-280-pro/

Here we are well into the midrange quality headphones. These ones are corded, but provides a much better sound quality than the RS120. They can provide up to 32 dB attenuation of outside noise, so you don't have to worry about much from background noise, even in somewhat noisy environments.

Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HD

http://headphones.respectablereviews.com/beats-by-dr-dre-solo-hd/

These are on the high-end spectrum of headphones. They are very comfortable and are able to produce an amazing sound quality. If you're looking for something that is "in-style" and provides you with some of the best sounds you can find in this price range, these are the headphones for you.

Bose Quietcomfort 15

http://headphones.respectablereviews.com/bose-quietcomfort-15/

I use these when I am playing live shows. They are some of the best headphones you can get right now, are very comfortable when wearing for many hours at a time (even in hot, sweaty clubs), block out almost all background noise and provide nearly unmatched sound quality. For someone looking for professional quality headphones, or with a big budget wanting the best money can buy, these are the headphones for you.

The most important thing for choosing the headphones, is the consider what you will be using them for and don't over estimate how much headphone-power you will need. If you're looking for something to use on the bus or just while you're hanging out, listening to music, you probably don't need top of the line Bose. Good luck, Courtney, and I hope you find the perfect set!

Best Headphones under $150?

Q. I am looking for over the ear headphones, I am definitely wanting them to be comfortable. But best sound quality is up there too. I listen to all types of music except country and rap.

Best pair of headphones under $150?

Q. Mainly for the gym, need something that can take a beating, I was thinking about the monster dna Black Tuxedo for $150 from monsters ebay store ( I tried them at Frys store and they sounded pretty good ) any suggestions? P.S. Yes I am shopping for fashion accessory headphones please don't judge.

Answer
You asked the question, so I'll give you the answer. The Monster is FAR from the best under-$150 headphone. The Audio Technica ATH-M50, for example, is a MUCH better headphone. I can't say for sure which is the BEST headphone under $150, but it's probably the Audio Technica.

My question is instead of buying a new amp can we buy this http://www.guitarcenter.com/Behringer-POWERPLAY-PRO-XL-HA4700-HEADPHONE-AMP-102302130-i1125804.gc I'm a complete noob when it comes to electronics like this. I believe it is a distribution amp. So what i'm asking is can me and him plug our guitars into this while it is plug to my amp and can we both get the same features from my amp through this and edit it individually. Like he would be playing clean and me distorted. Of course while wearing the headphones.

Answer
Danny - The headphone amp will not work because it does not have a guitar input. You need a headphone amp that is designed for guitar:

Good Headphone Amplifier?

Q. So I feel that the sound of my music has been lacking a bit lately and I have been looking for a headphone amplifier that will really increase the quality. I generally listen to all kinds of music minus rap, and super hard metal if that makes a difference. I already own a good pair of headphones. It's Audio-Technica ATH-M50. I'm not exactly sure if there are some amplifiers that go better with some headphones. Anyways, I would like if the amplifier was fairly portable, but any suggestions would help. Thanks

Answer
A headphone amplifier really isn't going to do much to your sound quality. You'd only really see a benefit if your headphones were hard to drive. And the M50s are not. If you're not happy with the sound you're getting, your only real option is to upgrade your 'phones. I assume you're already using high-quality music files, and you've already experimented with EQ?

My earphones wont fit. Are there specific type of headphones for Ipad?

Q. My BF just got a new Ipad and I was thinking what to get for him on V day.
One time i was playing with his Ipad I wanted to plug my earphone and he told me it wont fit. I tried to put mine just to check and it slipped in but there was no sound. and It seemed a little loose. I didnt want to press the earphone further incase Ill break the slot.

He told me theres a special jack for iPad headphones or a special type of earphone? or should i try to keep pressing the headphone jack in the ipad

Serious responses only

Answer
This question comes up every couple days. The ipad has the same headphone connector as all other ipods. For some reason though it tends to be tight the first couple of times it's used. Your ipod headphones should go in with slightly bit more effort than you're used to...

Help my headphones broke inside my iPad?

Q. So i was using my iPad and i wanted to listen to music i got my headphones and plugged them in but i just picked up my iPad after going downstairs for breakfast and the headphones are broken, the thing that you use to plug in to your device is still in the plug holder thing but the rest of the headphones are seperate, how do i take the remaining bit of headphone out of the iPad without destroying it the iPad/Headphone place?
And to the answerer; no the bit that you actually plug in is stuck in the iPad, i have no way of getting it out.

Answer
I don't think that removing the plug to your headphones would ruin your ipad just because they came apart. Maybe I don't fully understand your situation, but I'm also no expert. Sorry :/
