best in ear headphones for metal?

guitarhero

I had Skullcandy Titans and i loved them but the guy at best buy recomended them. Apperantly they are made for rap etc. I dont listen to that -_- well they lasted 7 months then broke. So now im looking for a replacement >75 bucks. I mainly listen to hardcore/post-hardcore music like Enter Shikari, Attack Attack, Miss May I etc. Mix of clean, screaming and electronic. Thanks

Try a pair of Grados... specifically the iGi earbuds. They sell for $90, and they're excellent for rock. In fact, all of Grados headphones are excellent for metal and rock. They have very detailed and punchy midranges which really bring out electric guitars. They also have very clean bass which brings out any bass guitar riffs you may listen to.

The best part about Grado is that they're made right in the US, in Brooklyn NewYork. Not China like skullcandy... If you haven't listened to a pair of headphones made in America yet (Most people have not), you'll be blown away.

Anyways, that's my suggestion. I also suggest Etymotic and Shure, but they aren't quite as awesome when it comes to metal and rock.

I used to be a huge fan of German and Austrian audio like Shure, AKG, etc... but Grado really makes rock come alive. Americans have a strong taste for rock and metal, so it's only right that our home-grown headphones excel with those Genres.

Good luck

Good rock and metal headphones?

Andrew

I'm a guitarist and a huge fan of many rock and metal bands. I listen to music constantly, but through a pair of $10 earbuds. I've decided to finally buy some expensive headphones to enjoy the music more. Could anyone make some reccomendations?
I saw the Marshall headphones, and those looked pretty cool.
Preferably ones that cost less than $150, since I'm kind of on a budget.

Answer
Rock and mental music requires a headphones that has good clarity as well as a little bass. I love those music also and my choice of headphone is the Sennheiser HD-280 PRO Headphones. They have really good clarity as well as bass and definition and not only that but they are very comfortable and durable. I have owned a pair of them since September and they have been perfect for me. They also have the noise cancelling technology which eliminate outside sounds when listening to music etc so you wont be disturbed. Importantly also, the Sennheiser HD-280 PRO Headphones are at a very reasonable price ($99.95 at amazon). I recommend these headphones to you and guarantee that you will not regret your decision to get them. See the link below:

Metal endorsed headphones?

rainman

Am looking for some new headphones, budget is between$60-$150. Almost every higher end headphone company pimps out rappers (ludacris, dre, quincymjones, etc) although those headphones are nice to look at, they are way overpriced and too bass heavy for people who don't even listen to that type of music. Are there any metal artists that endorse certain types of headphones? If not what would be a great pair of in ear headphones for metal music?

Answer
For low priced phones try the HD201 from Sennheiser...$22 USA or £15 UK and don't laugh. They outclass plenty of phones at four times the price.

AKG 440 or 450....very good and very comfortable.
The 440 is discontinued so they're going very cheap. Good buy.
The 450 is the new version at $80...

Have a look in a music store where they have a load of phones hooked up. You can do a side-by-side listening test then.
Best of luck

electric shock when touch casing, headphone metal parts.?

SAJID

I get electric shock from my PC casing. Also on the screws, headphone metal parts, usb cabel and metal parts. This happens even when the PC is turned off.

What is the problem & how I can solve it?

Answer
In Northern climates, winter means drier air.
Compounding this are central heating units which further decrease humidity.
When you walk across carpets, especially with rubber soles on, your body acts like a capacitor, and stores static electricity. The drier the air, the greater tendency to 'charge' yourself.
The computer (and other metals really) have a different 'electric potential'.
When you touch one of those items, that difference in potential causes electrons to rapidly migrate from one to the other (that's the shock you feel).
Going barefoot helps alleviate this, but it's an ongoing task to rid yourself of excess electrons without the shock.
You could try carrying a metal pen (or similar) and touch devices with that, which will reduce the snap and irritation.

There's an outside chance that the ground at the receptacle has not been done properly, which would contribute to the issue.
There are devices that can detect if the outlet wiring is sub-standard.
Here's an example: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Gardner-Bender-120-VAC-GFCI-Outlet-Tester-1-clam-5-clams-master-GFI-3501/202867890?N=boff
You might want to get one if you're in an older home, or one that's been remodeled: there could be more serious issues at several outlets.
