Headphones

[Slippy]

I am looking for a good pair of headphones at a maximum of 80$

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated, also any past experiences you have had or headphones to stay away from would also be appreciated!

Bose Triport Over Ear Headphones are fantastic, if you're willing to pay about twice your limit of $80.

But JVC offers some good headphones for around $50

I believe Audio Technicas and Seinheisers have pretty good Headphones

Bose

Bose is shit, you're paying for a brand name and packaging. Same thing with Skullcandy.

See if this link works for you, OP:

For my money, I'd go with the Sony MDR-V6 or MDR-7506. Good construction, and really nice sound, AND it falls in your budget.

Don't go hella expensive. You can get some nice skullcandy's for $70, possibly even cheaper, that sound exactly like some $200 Dr Dre Beats. I know this for a fact, I have the skullcandy while my friend has the Beats. No difference. Just depends how much you want to spend on a name

That's because they're both overpriced shit. You should never spend on a name, you should spend on quality.

Exactly. I will pay for good sound, I have been with skullcandy for several years now. There isn't another brand I would take over them. Hell I have a $20 back up set in case my more expensive ones short out or something and they sound good. Not as good as the $50-70 ones, but they sound amazing for the price you pay.

The problem here is both of your spent money on overpriced, overhyped s4!t.

The beats especially are a pretty mundane pair of "slightly better than the crap most people use" headphone with dre's name slapped on it (and i'm sure he takes a very healthy cut) and the price blown up by about 400%. They are TOTALLY a name, nothing else.

You ain't heard nothin' if you think skullcandies sound good.

[mercutiouk]

Just for another suggestion the goldring NS1000 MIGHT be found in your price range.

Sennheisers are what I use for hifi listening. I have some really decent ones from the 70s that cant be beat for sound, but they make my ears hot in summer, so I got some HD437's which are really comfortable and sound good. They were pretty cheap I think, about £50.

a review if you are interested http://www.cameratim.com/reviews/aud...er-headphones/

If Skullcandy's are as bad as Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, then I wonder why people still buy those... I tested the €200 Dr. Dre headphone in the store last week, it was just noise compared to the HD595... Which costs €140......

That rebuttal pretty much sums it up. I'm willing to bet you haven't even tried listening to brands other than Skullcandy.

Same thing, got really old pair o' phones, but it's made in the USSR - Aka Not even remotely compatible with the human head.

Yup, just as bad.

Dude, it's meta-marketing, the same thing that apple does - all 3 companies market items both as functional pieces of technology( Although flawed ) and as a fashion acessory. These kind of companies seem to be getting the best profit margins due to using parts costing way less money.

I'm not really the "follow the hype" type of guy... And I also don't get people who do that, especially with stuff that costs €100+
