What's the consensus on getting decent earphones over headphones?

Pretty retarded.

>>73623742
Those look autistic

>>73623742
those in pic are the best for monitoring. will be fine for anything else, though, but it would be wasting money

>>73623742
SHURE, GO ON WITH IT

unless you really need the best isolation I'd advise against it.
if you don't go all in with custom molds the comfort is always 'meh' at best, more likely it's going to hurt your ears after a couple of hours while you'd have already forgotten that there's over-ear headphones on your head

they make you look really fucking stupid

>>73623742
these are in ear monitors not earphones

This, unless your willing to shell out $600 bucks or more, stick with some good overear phones.

Where did the years go?

Why not get both if you have the budget?
In-ears for portable listening and full over-ears for at home.

I hate captcha so much. I miss writing nigger.

I have UE11's, the biggest perk is being able to smoke in my car with a sidewindow slightly open and still being able to enjoy my music.

I have the Shure 215's, they've served me well for like 5 years

Using earphones at your desktop is autistic though

check audiobudget in google and the first link, pretty good list.

>>73623897
Shut the fuck up, retard

>>73625745
I'm gonna assume your budget to be $100-200. If you want closed back, go for an ATH-M50X. For open back, go with Senn HD 598.

>>73625837
Go for AKG 271 for closed or K701 for home use. Comfy as fuck. But they lack of low bass frequencies.

It would be good 5 years ago. But the market has grown. You can buy better iem for less money. Go headfi and AliExpress or just a second hand

>>73623742
Get these. I love them.

>>73623742
If you're going with the shrimp-shape, get westone 30s instead. shures are really flat and tend to really undermine bass and sharpen high notes. not pleasant.

>>73627994
This, plus Shures use a proprietary cable, which is bullshit.

>>73624761
thx

>>73623742

Get whatever you feel like, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

If you'd rather have earphones than headphones, by all means go for it.

t. someone who spent way too much money on audio equipment

>>73623742
Idk man but the fact in ear monitors fully blocks your ear and potentially create an earwax buildup freaks me out + it hurts after long use, I just use my AKG headphone for general listening

>>73629272
Yeah I've been wondering what's the safest way to listen on the go. Don't want to make my tinnitus worse n shit
