Good Alternative headphone to Beats?

Justin

Need to buy a good pair of full ear covering headphones. I know Beats sell good, but i'm positive they're not worth the price. I'm sure someone has other headphones that work just as well and cost a fraction of the price.

Looking to use them mostly in libraries while studying and doing school work so something that doesn't leak much would be best! Will take all opinions into consideration, thanks!

Answer
You are 100% correct about Beats (and Bose and Skullcandy). The quality doesn't justify the price.
The most popular (good) consumer style headphone is the Ath-M50. Also consider MDR-V6, HD201, or SRH-440.
I will point out that open back headphones generally sound better, but they leak worse than the Titanic which you said you don't want.
I only mentioned a few options; for more look to the links below.

Beats- headphones, any ideas?

JH.

overall for performance, feel, look, price, everything, solo hd or studio, if i was to get studio id have them customized, i dont want anything like big massive dj headphones, i just want some decent headphones

Answer
I have the Beats Tour In-Ear headphones and they are great! I bought them new for $60 from eBay and they have a great bass. I actually like them better than my brother's over-the-ear $250 professional Beats pair. The reason I think the in-ear ones are nice is because they little go IN your ear, which helps block out sound, as well as makes them able to blast that music directly at your ear. The over-the-ear beats just sit over your ear. They are nice, but I think the in-ear ones are better, and cheaper.

Also, they are very easy to carry around, compared to the bigger set. Hope I have helped.

Where can I buy some Audio Techinca headphones?

best headphones beats image

Michael

The closest place near my house is Best buy, but they sell those overpriced garbage headphones(Beats by dre, Bose, and Skullcandy). I asked them if they have Sennheisers or Audio Techinca and they said they don't any of those headphones. So where can I buy some headphones that are not fashion accessories. I can't think of any stores that sells them.

Answer
Amazon does.

If you don't have any credit cards or debit cards and think that you can't buy them, you actually can. Practically every store sells amazon gift cards ( including best buy and any other big chain store. ) Just walk in, buy the cards, and enter in the codes into your amazon account. That's it.

http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATHM50S-Professional-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B004ZG9TMA/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1351974669&sr=1-2&keywords=Audio+Technica+M50

These will run you $124, free shipping. Just go buy 5 $25 amazon gift cards and get em.

What is the best headphone on the market that arent dre beats?

Oneil

Well i lost my ipod four months ago and i took this job thingy that pays me at the end. So now im going to get my 1000 dollars. I wore the dr solos and the dre monsters and i love the fact the headphone is like beating so it feels like its ear fucking you lol. I guess that the bass thing. Which headphones do anyone knows of that gives good quality of music, cancels noise, and does that thing were the headphones beat out in your ear to the bass?

Answer
If you want to blow 1k on earphones, all I can suggest are the top brands like Sennheiser, AKG and there are also the Monster beats/turbines.

There is also Shure, but they aren't crazy on bass, but mroe on performance.

I'd suggest IEM's (In ear monitors) which sound MUCH better than cans. Sennhieser make the IE8, which even had a bass adjustment screw on the bottom. All I know about them is that they deliver a brain-pound whenever you crank the tunes if it's a bass heavy song, and their rrp is around $850.

In ear earphones are much better than headphones, as they can give you over 38dB of noise isolation (my Shure SE-215's do and with the foam tips someone can yell at me and I will barely hear them) and will pound your brains out.

The IE8, amongst other high quality earbuds is that there is no leakake in sound, and the bass will be delivered pretty damn well lol. I had an old pair of Sony IEM's which were about $80 and they pounded like crazy.

Make sur eyou read reviews on sites like Cnet, as you will get more info than any manufacturer site will give you.
