I Need Amazing Headphones

[Lolicat]

I prefer them when outside the house, but I understand because you are sacrificing sound quality.

I have no fear of people laughing at big headphones. Hell, I even sort of half-dance to the music if I'm walking alone.

For the money, it very tough to beat the Grado headphones. Check out the SR60's or SR80's depending on your budget.

Check out Sennheiser. They make some nice 'phones and might have something that will fit your budget.

Grado and Sennheiser are excellent choices, IMO. And can be gotten for fairly reasonable prices.

These Goldrings are comparable, too. And they come with a detachable cord, which is really an advantage -- the first thing to go on headphones is usually the cord because it's gets pulled too hard and too far. WIth a detachable cord, the cord just pulls out -- damage is minimal. I've had that feature on my Sennheisers for ages, and it's saved me many times over.

For me its less the fear of being laughed at then the fear that when I fall asleep on the bus with closed ears I will wind up in another town.

I dream of doing that. I'd rather have an adventure than make an appointment. I think I've watched too many films, I'm drifting off.

I once fell asleep in the NY subway and rode from the lower East side to Queens and back before I was woken up. Never again!

Awesome. So long as you're still functioning, it's ok!

I picked up these about a year ago at Best Buy (I think for $130) and can't think of one negative. They sound great, and can take a beating (I'm pulled them violently off my desk only to crash onto the floor by tripping on the long cord many a time). I'm not sure if that's what you were looking for, but I would say they're completely worth the money.

This. I use the in-ear ones, but I've used the pair described above before and they rock hard.

Would this be the thread to ask about people's experiences with the Beats by Dre headphones?
