>>70338400
in the market for new headphones. currently considering BeyerDynamic DT77os - reckon these are a good match/ for £30 less I'd be inclined to buy these if they're decent. I want mids. That's all I care about. Every goddamn set of budget headphones are all >DAT BASS LADZ
>>
>>70338439
I hear DT770s are pretty reasonably balanced, though the description on Amazon lists "Bass Reflex Technology", which makes me think they may be a little bass heavy.

I have used them a lot for mixing back when I was in university and they were brilliant. I love how they look too. I have fuck all money but i'm so close to dropping the dosh on them
>>
I've had these for 5 years and they're fantastic, but since two years ago every ~6 months the wire loses connection where it bends because I wear them in bed sometimes. It's easy enough to fix but it's annoying.

What's a good set of headphones like these that's more suitable for wearing in bed? These are so comfy on my head but you can hardly lay on your side with them because of how bulky they are. So many other headphones I've tried are vicegrips.

Wouldn't mind getting an upgrade anyway

Get some IEM's, the Shure SE215s are great for bed, because they don't stick out of you ear much so you can lie on your side pretty comfortably. They are a bit bass heavy with the foam tips, but the silicone tips are pretty balanced.
>>
>>70338751
only get these if you're fine with substantial treble roll-off and muddy mids
>>
>>70337745

I’ve got a pair of “iDeaUSA” Bluetooth headphones that sound good but the battery doesn’t last very long (about one “set”) and they’re easily blocked by heating ducts and walls, limiting where I can walk around in the house and they’ve only got volume and on/off switch.

Oh, and the headpiece forms a transverse inverted mohawk in my hair...

Still, only cost me $60.
>>
>>70338810
For $100 iems are you really going to get any better. I've tried a whole bunch of head-fi fodder but I still think the SE215s are the best in that price range.
>>
>>70338439
>>70338480
>>70338550
Got the dt770s. Pretty happy with them but I don't have much experience with high quality headphones so my opinion isn't worth all that much. One thing I can say is that the 80 ohm version works well without an amplifier, even for listening on my phone.

I use these for recording and monitoring, one of the best flattest uncolored sound available at a reasonable price. Considering upgrading to K271 MKIIs for isolation.
>>
>>70338878
Of course anything in that price range is going to be a compromise. You probably won't find better low range response in that price range, but it comes at the cost of your mids, highs and overall definition and accuracy. Based on the ones I've owned, for a more versatile iem at the same price point I'd say the Dunu Titan or the lower end Grado in-ears are good alternativet. I've heard good things about RHA's cheaper models as well.

Ultimately it all depends on what you what. I don't mean to trash the 215's, just a fair warning that they really aren't for everyone.

my latest ones, I have a few sets, though I do usually prefer speakers

>>70337745
Why do nowadays headphones last like, two year tops before getting completely fucked/fried? The ones that came with my walkman from 20 years ago lasted me for about half a decade before the left speaker kind of popped, I know sound quality has increased, but come on, there must be better materials.

Should pay more for your headphones
if you get pretty much any headphones with a removable cord and steel construction.
You'll be set for at least 5 years unless you're an absolute donkey with your hardware

Give them to me anyway, my headphone are the £15 Sony ones.

Come on, don't be stingy.

>>70339842
>walkman
Pro stuff lasts a long time (AKG, Sony pro's, Senn's). I've got a pair of the original Grado SR80's that are over ten years old that still sound great as ever, although the headband has been coming out of the adjuster lately ,but that's an easy fix with a split pin. Still got my money's worth.

>>70340849
I probably should've mentioned I also would have them for use while on my PC listening to music. Maybe some light gaming, but I've got a different pair for that.

My Monoprice 8323s are starting to crack and I also thought they were lacking compared to my monitors too much (I think all phones are inferior to speakers) so I ordered these HD558s for a good price. I hope I like em

It was $60 and most reviews said it was decent. I think it's pretty good too, but I don't know how much better other headsets are. I just hope it was worth the price.

Incredibly comfy and has a bit of a warm sound, really nice for listening for long periods of time, almost no fatigue.
Look up the foam mod, it's super easy to do and makes the phones sound almost exactly like the HD598, it's subjective but I personally like the sound better.

Same, for what payed they outperform the other headphones i own. wish they were a bit more comfortable.

I bought a pair of these after my AKG k612s broke and I preferred the latter. Although I will say that the anon who said that 880s are better could be full of shit because I remember reading on the /g/ wiki that many people dont like those.

>almost no fatigue
One of the big things I was aiming for - there were other headphones I was considering but people tended to describe them more as treble-heavy/sibilant which my ears can't handle.

I just hate the impedance spike in the bass, which means I'll have to be mindful of what source I use, but I plan on mostly driving it with my iPhone which apparently has a low output impedance, so it shouldn't be an issue. Maybe I'll even like the bass boost.

>Look up the foam mod, it's super easy to do and makes the phones sound almost exactly like the HD598, it's subjective but I personally like the sound better.
Thanks, already knew about it - I'll possibly do this after using them stock for a while.
>>
>>70344197
Be aware that there is a rather largish adapter that attaches the 1/4 jack to a 1/8, so portable use is very doable albeit awkward at times (detachable cord might be able to be replaced with a 1/4 one but never checked).
I came from using the ATH-AD700s a few years back and I never will see the point in having treble high phones again, shit was painful and couldn't sleep for hours.

I kinda like Sennheiser. One of the few companies that officially sell their products in my third world country. The warranty is kinda slow but it's there at least, unlike with most other brands
