So my birthday is right around the corner, and all my headphones i have owned are now broken, so i need another pair. I do music making and need a nice pair to hear the tones clearly and crisp. The budget is around $100. So far, I've found the Sennheiser HD 448's ( [url]http://www.headphone.com/products/sennheiser-hd-448.php[/url] or [url]http://www.sennheiserusa.com/private_headphones_wired-headphones_502767[/url] ) and the Sennheiser HD 280 PRO ( [url]http://www.headphone.com/products/sennheiser-hd-280-pro.php[/url] or [url]http://www.sennheiserusa.com/private_headphones_dj-headphones_004974[/url] ). If you have any experiance with these budget headphones or have any recommendation please respond
Avoid wearing the 280's in public if you care about looks [editline]01:41AM[/editline] They are excellent at sound isolating though!
Yeah, im mostly going to wear these inside the home, i have some earbuds for outdoors, plus sound isolation is a good thing aswell
And protip: They can sound SO MUCH better with some proper equalizing!
Fucking expensive.
280's.
If you like bass I would go with some Hd-212's, otherwise the 280's are a great choice. Nice all around headphones
Sennheiser PC350 Never ever heard better headphones.
Pc350 unless you planning on leaving the house in which case skull candys!
You can mod the Pc350's for better sound. They don't sound that great out of the box. I did it to mine and they sound much better. [url=http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/modding-sennheiser-pc350-headset-406187/]Modding the Sennheiser pc350 headset[/url]

[QUOTE=kk152;17452572]Pc350 unless you planning on leaving the house in which case skull candys![/QUOTE] I don't understand why people like Skullcandy... They're so fucking bassy, music is ALREADY so bass heavy, so you end up turning your equalizer so there is no bass. "Oh man, they have SKulllllzzzzzzz, so BAD ASS"
Already ordered the 280's, ill report back when i receive it for a quick review
Sennheiser or AKG, for every type of audio win.

I've had my Sennheiser HD 515's since Apple gave out those $100 gift cards for first gen iPhone buyers and they still work and function awesomely.
