Best Headphones?

[Phantom Discs]

I own a piar of sennheiser, and Audio-technica. You cant go wrong with either.

check out ableplanet. great sound, comfy build, and the best noise canceling in the world.

anything by bose or AT will be good value for the money, if you buy beats you will be overpaying by around 10 times but you might look like one of the cool kids, skull candy makes some stuff that is a bit overpriced but a much better value than beats

dont buy beats headphones. they are way over priced and you can find better headphones for half the price. same with bose. beats are decent headphones if you like music with a lot of bass but only certain music sounds good on them. if you want big over ear headphones i recommend Audio Technica ATH M50. they are half the price of beats and sound 10x better. they have a fairly flat eq with a small emphasis on bass. but i wouldnt use them for discing though. id probably go with earbud headphones. check out sennheaiser they make some sport clip headphones that will stay in your ears well and are very affordable.

this. all of it.

ATH-M50's go on sale every so often for just over $100.

Bump for good value phones to wear while playing.

This guy gets it. Bose and Beats are brand names. Bose quality is ho-hum, and Beats are an absolute ripoff. If you want the best headphones for the best price, Sennheisers are the way to go. I sit next to an audio engineer every day at work, and he owns 4 pairs of them.

Sennheiser is good, Fischer audio is decent, and yes you may shoot me but....monster copper turbines are good if you can find them at a decent price point. Surprisingly tapered towarD neutral despite the low end emphasis.

I personally own hd598 for Senn and monster coppers. Will never recommend anything else by monster. Tried Fischer, sold them to a buddy. Not bad for 100$.


M50 are touted all the time, just go to headfi.org. tons of info.

It would depend on what style you are looking for and your price range. I go to school for audio engineering and use beats for most of that. They have ear buds as well as over the ear style.

Yikes! Audio engineering school, huh? :doh:

I like the SOL Republic Relays. Decently priced and stay in your ears. I wear them on my morning 10k run's and have yet to have issue with them falling out. The sound is pretty good too. Not very tinny like a lot of exercise earbuds.

bang for buck

get those, will never regret it. I also own AT m-50's and ad-700's but those sennheiser's sound incredible with lower power i.e. smartphone, iPod ect.

i can agree with this through a lot of the sennheiser hd series. they're the phones i got my buddy; he was all "i'll never spend more than 50$ on headphones, if i do they'll be beats". so i said, tell you what, i'll give you 15$ and you can use 50$ of your own cash to get these.

i don't think he got the 429's but either way the price point was good and the sound was better.

don't know that senn has anything good for being MOBILE though. for that i'd have to go with IEMs, don't care who ya are.

I rock the Bose, either IE2 or MIE2, forget. For me the big reason I got them is that they are in-ear, but not noise reducing. I always have them on me when I'm playing, when I'm practicing by myself they're on constantly, but when I'm playing with other people they are only on for the 5-30 seconds I'm throwing. The ones that go deep inside the ear block out noise, so it's difficult to hear other people with them in, these allow ambient noises and especially voices in when the sound is of.

The silicone is also very comfortable. Had another pair that were Monster(?) I think, and they were SUPER uncomfortable, when I got these (m)IE2s they felt amazing.

How are Shure headphones doing nowadays? I have a pair around here somewhere that had just beautiful studio reference quality. The new ones look a bit 'cheaper' quality than the pair I have.

Shure 215se for me. Amazing sound, incredible performance, but deff not for DG. Would look into a nice pair of wireless for that.

At home though...Just beautiful.

 

[@iDiscGolf]

I got the E2 and love'em. I'll wear them to disc golf, I used to wear them mountain biking but I caught them on a branch downhill on some single track... You just got to tuck them proper :hfive:

While I will agree that those Senn's are a great pair of headphones, I can't see playing disc in those. I would think that would be kind of a PITA

I'm sorry. You use WHAT for audio engineering?

What school do you go to that they actually let you use those?!

They're still pretty great on the top end. I don't have any experience with their low-end stuff.

My buddy has a pair and loves them.

I'm a fan of my Sennheiser HD 280 Pros, though, if only for the attenuation and clean, flat EQ.

I'd obviously never wear them on the course, though.

LoL I thought the same thing. I wonder if he's confusing audio engineering with part time house DJ.
