What headphones do you own?

boobar · 02-03-2012 9:17pm

Sennheiser CX300 I think.

Some serious money being spent here on good headphones. Was looking for really good noise cancelling earphones, but never found anything that did the job. Mind you I didn't have a serious budget.

Weepsie · 04-03-2012 4:58pm

Sennheiser PX-200-ii
Koss Portapro (everyone should have a pair)
Sennheiser Hd62 TV (not brilliant, not awful, but good enough if you want to listen to the tv with headphones due to the 4/5m cable

Turtle Beach PX-21 headset too for the PC, PS3 & 360

And some Sony In Ear buds that I got with my XPeria that are not too bad, comparable to my CX 300s (which I lost) and my CX 400 which I broke.

Saving up for HD-25-1-ii or V-Moda Crossfade M80s

How on earth did you get them for 99$

Also recently added a pair of them to my collection

Brian · 09-03-2012 5:54pm

Amazon golden box 2010. They're not all that.

rubicon99 · 19-03-2012 1:29pm

Klipsch x10i and S4

anhedonia · 06-04-2012 2:10pm

TMA-1 are the best set of headphones Ive encountered.

Much prefer them to the Sennheisser HD-25 mk2

A guy on headfi got a few pairs on Black Friday and sold a pair to me for $99 + about $7 shipping. I know they get differing reviews but with the comply foam tips I think they're fricking amazing. They absolutely kill the Denon D2000s not to mention the Beats. Maybe I'm just getting a great fit for my ears but I actually find them addictive to listen to

How do you find them?

I adore them, i also get a fantastic fit. I love them combined with the E6 for that little extra kick as well. Better than my M50s and Alessandros by a long shot.

Serephucus · 10-04-2012 10:45pm

Sennheiser CX200 (I think) in-ear earphones for phone mp3 listening.

Sennheiser PC21 headset for Skype

Sennheiser HD595 headphones for music

Thinking of getting a Corsair Vengeance 2000 headset to replace the PC21 and HD595 (I know it's a downgrade, but I'm liking the wireless-ness).

And it was like a billion headphone addicts all cried out at once and were suddenly silenced.

Anky2930 · 11-04-2012 8:11am

I have sennheiser PX 30 headphones and What I love most in that is its bass quality.

M00lers · 11-04-2012 8:19am

Seinheiser HD650 with Firestone Audio Spitfire Mk II DAC and NJC Audio Monitor I headphone amplifier.

Sounds great with EAC ripped FLACs!

I wouldn't mind picking up a pair of closed back headphones for discrete listening though, any recommendations from the Seinheiser stable?

HD 25-1 IIs.

LiamKK1982 · 17-04-2012 9:28pm

Sony MDREX310LPB Monitor Series

These are £35 from Amazon.co.uk. Best earphones I have ever owned.

Pyongyang · 17-04-2012 9:33pm

I have in my collection:

Shure e3c
Shure e4c
Koss Portapro
AKG K518LE

Looking at some Grado's next.

Weepsie · 17-04-2012 11:46pm

As of today I know longer have the PX200-II. Well I do, but they broke have a real murky sound. Second pair in a year, exact same problem. Amazon might replace them again if I'm lucky.

However I've added MUSE the DJ headphones, they're probably awful, but I'd seen them going for €50 on Amazon and were €10 on Play so I chanced it.

For a tenner though . . .

VenomIreland · 18-04-2012 8:51am

Got some Koss Portapros recently to add to my collection, they are pretty damn good for €20.

BanzaiBk · 18-04-2012 10:57pm

Koss PortaPros, Senn PX-200 II, Senn CX-300 and a newish pair of Grado SR80i that I got for Christmas. Budget audiophiling!

TPD · 21-04-2012 11:14am

As of yesterday, Brainwavz HM3 also

I just added a Fiio E6 to my portable set up. When I'm at home I use a Bithead dac/amp belonging to my Dad with the Grados but never really got into the idea of a portable amp. The E6 is only an amp but so far I'm pretty impressed using it with the Grados and the portapros. Now I'm considering upgrading the cx-300s to make the whole thing fairly innocuous when I'm commuting....any excuse to buy a new pair of IEMs

saa · 29-04-2012 9:21pm

I don't splash out on in ear heaphones as they always brake on me within six months, I bought these and the Argos warranty even though I've lost the receipt ¬,¬
but they are the comfiest and most durable pairs of headphones for under 20 euro I've ever had, of course I am sacrificing sound quality but I have no issues with these the sound is clear and loud enough so really good for what they are.

Mr. Rager · 29-04-2012 11:13pm

Got a pair of Koss Porta Pros this week, really like them so far, sound quality is top notch for the price

Weepsie · 01-05-2012 11:22pm

My Aiaiai TMA-1's arrived today. They'd been sitting in a depot since last week. Very early impression is that they are bloody good. The untimely demise of my PX200-iis (second pair) has turned out to be a good thing as the refund covered 2/3 of the cost.

The Portapros will always be in reach though.

Tar.Aldarion · 12-05-2012 8:51pm

I have sennhesier pc350s and jvc ha-rx700s'. Love em.

Ape X · 13-05-2012 1:59am

Sennheiser HD555s - good all rounders I find.

darkmaster2 · 13-05-2012 2:24am

Koss Porta pros and some JVC marshmallows are all you need . love em

Haha, both are definitely good value for money but they're still only the first rung on the ladder

I'm on about rung 3 . . . 2 pairs of ~€150 cans and soon a pair of €130 IEMs.

This only gets worse, doesn't it?

Brian · 13-05-2012 5:18pm

Yeah, and trust me you don't even want to think about speakers!

My audiophilia only involves my PC and a PMP at the moment thankfully.

Pioneer HDJ 2000's,
Beats By Dre Solo HD,
Waiting on delivery of Klipsch Image S4i's.

K.O.Kiki · 20-05-2012 11:51pm

Just joined the PortaPro club

I bought them in town, since I couldn't even find an English site that sold the red model (and because I'm impatient!)

Brian · 20-05-2012 11:58pm

Where did you find them in town?

HMV Grafton St. have them for €45 in Red, White & Black editions (they're not the expensive KTC version though)

Brian · 21-05-2012 12:27am

Could do much worse for €45, tbh. Not bad.

They look awful though. I'm not one who's much taken wth the aesthetics of his audio gear either.

After all that they've cancelled my order because its discontinued!

Can't find a decent replacement that ticks all the boxes now. And now asking myself...do I really need wireless?

Tempted by the tma-1 at the mo!

K.O.Kiki · 14-06-2012 12:34am

Just did some quick mods on my pair.
Kramer mod (3mm drill & extra with sharp knife/ needle files).

I tried to do a quarter mod but still found the standard foam uncomfortable.
Next, I tried a pair of cheap PX-200 pads, but they were too small and inhibited some sound.

Finally, I realised: I had a pair of "broken" Skullcandy something-or-others I can cannibalize!
Ripped the nice big pleather pads out and secured them to my PortaPros with some hot glue.

Result:

Koss PortaPro (red), kramer mod, old Skullcandy pleather pads.

Also, I would like to add I'm NOT trying to make them look like baby beats or anything

What headphones do you own?
