Paid Members extacy of farts Posted April 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thought i'd bump this thread instead of starting a new one. I'm looking at getting a decent pair of On-ear headphones. I've currently got a pair of Bose in-ear headphones but was looking for something a bit more comfortable for travelling etc. I usually stick with Bose or Seinheisser, but wondering if anyone could recommend anything decent. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I can't find a pair of in-ear heaphones that are anywhere near the quality of the paid I bought 15 years ago - a 25 quid pair of Sony buds. What happened to the technology? They're all shit. Â Bose/Sennheiser and Sony would be my first picks for any commercial headphones. As long as you're not buying Beats by Dre or any shit like that.

Paid Members Snake Plissken Posted April 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted April 23, 2013 If your looking for solid without being spectacular but decent enough on the price the best in ears I've come across are the SkullCandy "The Fix" range. Some of thier other buds leave something to be desired, but these have been the best I've had in a long while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Here's a sad thing - the 'crappy' headphones the iPhone comes with are better than a lot of more expensive ones out there, plus they have a mic built in and the volume control. Â As I said, I think the tech of headphones has taken a leap backwards in recent years, or that's how it sounds to me. My old paid (now finally broken) had a nice bass boost thing in that made them really warm and full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 23, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 23, 2013 I wonder if you were rocking the same Sony buds that I used to swear by years ago... They were great. Â The Sennheiser in ear buds that retail at about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Paul's Bin Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I was in Currys today and tested the Dre Beats headphones. The sound quality was good, clear and you could hear the bass really well. I just cannot grasp why people would spend around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Beats, in general, are terrible. Really bassy and poorly made. Â That said, their mixr range are incredible. Great levels across the board, you still get the deep bass but its coloured with really bright higher frequencies, and a sort of trademark 'crunch'. Â I bought a pair. I feel a nob with a big B on my ear, but besides that I adore them. Â But, yeah, aside from this anomaly, Sennheiser are the best brand. Â In terms of value for money, go Urbanears.

Paid Members herbie747 Posted April 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted April 23, 2013 I use these for listening to music when the kids are in bed. Â But for the OP, I'd recommend these. I have 3 pairs that we use on our edit suites; amazingly crisp & clear. Â For Pro Tools mixing (when not using monitors), I use Beyer Dynamics DT100s. Â And for in-ear buds you can't beat Sennheisers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
