    So, with the amount of music i listen to, i finally decided to start ditching the bottom feeder headphones ive always used (for no good reason). With a gift card for xmas, i picked up some Sony MDR-V6's. Nothing too earth shattering, but compared to what ive been using, it is definately a step up.



    I also am going to try out a set of Grado SR80s. See what i like better.



    I figure most of us probably listen and r3v, anyone else enjoy some good sounding headphones?
    I have a MDR V6 headphones , i like them, and the best part is I got them as a gift from my uncle.

      After 10 years, I am on my second pair of Sennheiser PX100. They are light, small and have a very open sound presentation with great bass. I have tried many other in the meanwhile and always go back to the PX100.

      There are other great "closed" earphones, but I usually don't like them as I feel claustrophobic...

      Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

        I have a set of Shure SCL2s and they changed my life. The damn wire inside the jack broke though, so now I'm stuck with a "comparable" set from Bose. They suck bad. I need to go buy a soldering iron.

          You know the old joke........Buy Other Sound Equipment



          I've had a set of Grado SR-80's for about 4 years now. I run them off of an old Crown D-75 amp as I don't own an MP3 player. I love them for the cost that I paid and I haven't had any problems with comfort. I'm probably going to upgrade to a higher end Grado headphone pretty soon just because I'm a music junkie and I love audio equipment. Having a nice set of headphones is great because a lot of times I get home too late and I can't play my stereo without waking the neighbors or anyone else in the house.

            Grado SR-80 here, too. I don't have a proper amp to drive them with, unfortunately. I can hear my laptop's sound output sucking through them.

              Glad to see some other people into it. Ive got some SR80s in the mail, as well as the fiio e3 amp. Its pretty cheap at like 12$. Ive heard pretty good things, ill post back when i get mine.

              Im pretty much done buying gear at this point though,at least for a while. more concerned about the new levels of suck in some mp3s on my library

                I like bass. These are the bassiest headphones I could find without losing mids or having the highs fall off too much, and all for the joog. Bought two of them I love them so much.

                  The best headphones that I've bought to date are, no don't laugh, Sony MDR-EX35B. They're work as well as the noise canceling heaphones that retail for $250+

                    i usually just use ear buds for the size, but i do have a set of those BOSE quiet comfort 2 headphones i got from my pops, they do a nice job of cutting out alot of sound from the outside world, but there quality is pretty poor.

                    as sad as i am to say it, i do use them for when i dj, there ok, but i need to pick up some new ones here soon. im gonna grab my self a stanton pro 300 single cup, there perfect for my needs, as i only use one ear to cue etc

                    im gonna grab a set of ear buds here soon by sony or skull candy as well, as these apple ones are crap

                      Yeah, it usually upsets people, but BOSE really isn't all its cracked up to be.

                          I just hate how they use cheap materials.

                            Sennheiser HD-280 Pro here. I fucking love them. Not horribly expensive, good range, punchy bass.

                                My SR60i are pretty damn good for the cost. I still miss my HD280Pro Senns tho.
