Post your headphones

[Fonzijr1964]

Can anybody recommend a good DJ or Noise canceling around ear pair for under US $350.

(I like sony, are these any good? http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11033604 http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...51&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11038464 http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...51&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11035320 )

Not in response to your request for DJ phones, but I own

30Gb 5G iPod video
cMoy amp
Denon 1001K
Klipsch Image X5

Will soon be building a 32Gb flash-modded iPod mini and a Fiio E5 amp.

I want Grados... I get tempted to buy them, but then I realize I've been doing a lot of purchases lately that I don't truly need... Anyway, my Bose Triports are still really good.

Im about to purchase one of those bose, but is there any big diference betwen those one and the larger ones, that need a batery to operate

Larger ones have active noise canceling abilities and sound less worse. They also carry a $299 and $349 price tag. Just an FYI do not buy Bose. This must be my 30th time saying it, but I do mean it, do not buy Bose. There is this misconception of them being superb, and "teh bomb" when really they're bass boosted monsters that sound just below OK and have a somewhat attractive design.

Go find yourself some Audio-Technicas, Sennheiser, AKG, Grado, Bang&Olufsens or even Sony, 'cause man, Bose isn't worth it.

same here.. i went from three replacement pairs of the original v-moda vibes. and losing my pair of shure e2cs in italy.. to these..
I love them.. i used them on two flights, one of which on a flight with propellers (which are loud) and i couldnt hear any outside noise =]
totally worth the money imo

Yes I am aware they suck. I do have some QC2 that I use and yes I'm aware those are bad too.

 

[sangosimo]

black er6i for pretty much everything and sennheiser pmx60's for exercise.

Could any of you guys explain to me what headphone amps do, full size and portable ones? I don't really understand

Forgot to add this...been using it mostly at home for the past 4 yrs with my laptop and when i travel. Was gonna get Grado's but the open design means i'll be disturbing other's nearby which turned me off them

You should really try out a pair of Grados. The SR-60 can be had for $69 on Amazon and the SR-80 (which I recommend) can be had for $95.

What's your source? (CD player, laptop, iPod, etc.)

also, what's your budget?

Laptop and iPod. I'll probably be using my AKG K-271 the most. Amps are completely new to me but probably around £250/300.

There's pretty much no point spending that sort of money on an amp if you're going to be listening to a lossy source (i.e. mp3, aac, etc.). There's also little point spending that much on an amp when you only have £80 headphones.

As Compile 'em all said though, ask at headfi for the best advice.
