What are you's guys using?



Personally, I'm using Shure's E2 earphone. imo the best, sound quality is awesome. Can't fault it!

dont really use em, its either in the car, or at home with the vinyl, or listenin to my stereo...only headphones i use are ipod ones...

oh and check this thread out, a fews years old, but oh well

Sennheiser.

Or if you want to go cheaper, something like AKG would do nicely.

The cheapest Sony DJ mickey mouse ears I could get ($80)

Sennheiser are great.



Fantastic overall headphone for music/gaming etc.



Thats what I use.

currently have Sennheiser's, but have found Koss quite good too

- Stooge007 out

I switch between Koss UR-30's and Bose QuietComfort 2 Noise Cancelling headphones

Had a pair of AKG K271s now using beyerdynamic DT770m.

I know HEADphones are generally better for good sound, however can anyone recommend a set of EARphones? As in those little bud things?

On the other hand can someone recomend me some HEADphones for under $100?

Headphones are just like speakers. You need to audition to find what you like. Earphones on the other hand, well they all sound like ass so it doesnt really matter.

Plus earphones have always given me headaches, and my ears ache afterwards

Sennheiser

koss make ok EARphones

- Stooge007 out

ive got a set of panasonic in ear - earphones

IMO if you want earphones go with in ear....takes some getting used to but the sound is great...i think mine were about $60 with the sony ones being around $100

would love to get hold of a set of senns

From a dj's point of view, sennheiser all the way.

I've had the chance to compare craploads of phones from all brands, sennheiser are just the clearest, and block out the most external noise. Its the difference between being able to mix, and not being able to hear crap.

For EARphones I reccommend the Shure line-up. Absolutely awesome.

They start at around $180 for the E2c's but I love em. You might have seen musicians use em as like a personal monitor kinda thing as Shure is reknowned for musician stuff.

for you guys out there who are on the "cheap bastard" buget i found what you are after

Sennheiser MX 250 for $20 (bottom of the range)

listening to them now....and im impressed...i wont be using them as i didnt buy them for me...but when i upgrade the mp3 player ill be investing in a good set

There are some great earphones out there such as the etymotics or shures
Would crap all over a lot of headphones

Sennheiser or nothing

Had Sony EX-71s until I lost all the gaskets that fit my ear. Lasted a good 3 years and the actual phones are still good, just don't go in my ear without a gasket.

So yesterday I ordered a pair of Etymotic ER-6i. Couldn't justify the cost of the ER-4P... Hopefully they'll keep me happy on the bus to uni and on occasion in lectures

Sennheisers ftw!

HD590s are incredible.

i saw that senns come in the "in ear" version now

time for an upgrade me thinks

Finally got my ER-6i delivered today! Been listening all day on different sources (home amp, iPod mini, iBook) and they've been doing very nicely. Definately sound the best off the home amp (much more grunt in the guitars and such) and worst off the iBook unless EQ'd.

Need to upgrade my source and think about getting an amp.

decided to upgrade, got the senns HD 202.. very very nice, and blows anything ive ever listened to out of the water. playes 25Hz sweeps better than most subs ive heard

i got:
sennheiser mx500's for the iriver
sennheiser hd555's for the pc
great gear

I've got a pair of JVC In-ears and think pretty high of them for what they are, but then again I've probably never listened to high end earphones

SENNHEISER MX 350 FOR THE IRIVER.

SOUND FANTASTIC!

Previsouly had a set of Phillips in-ear headphones and they sounded nice, though the cable broke at the ear piece from old age and abuse lol

I am currently using Sony MDR-NC50's (yes the noise cancelling ones) and no I cannot recommend them. I had the MDR-NC20's before these, for about 4-5 year's and they were awesome. They made MP3's sound decent and well recorded stuff was fantastic. But someone pulled one of the wires out, so I though it was time to replace them with the NC50. Big mistake! These are around $120 more expensive than the NC20 at $500, but they simply don't sound as good. I'm sure they are more effective at the noise cancelling function however.

Why I wouldn't recommend them however, has to do with the 'howling' that I get with the noise cancelling switched on. It sounds a lot like reverb, and can usually take a couple of minutes to settle down. I am not the only one, as there are reports all over the net about this problem. Bummer.
