Try Sennheiser m@h80 headphones if you are buying them to listen to MP3s from a laptop computer, or even from a desktop PC. Sennheiser designed these specifically for listening with computers. They are lightweight, comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, efficient enough to provide a decent sound level without having to use a headphone amp, provide much better sound than Walkman-type headphones, but are still reasonably priced. They are not intended to compete with the sound quality of audiophile headphones such as the Sennheiser 600s, but they are better suited to use with computers, provide excellent sound for the price, and you don't have to worry about them too much if you're carrying them around with a laptop. I bought my son, who is a college student, a pair to go with his laptop, and he likes them a great deal. I think that J&R Music World carries them.
What Headphones? Looking to upgrade..........
Okay, here's the dilly. I have a pair of Sennheiser 545s. ;) and well, I used to have a pair of klipsch 2.1s. Problem is my headphones made the speakers sound so badly - I decided to sell them off.
Anyhow now I'm looking to get new headphones. Trying to compete with my dad's latest sound equipment he bought like over $20,000 worth. Making my headphones sound bad damnit. hehe
Anyhow I"ve done some research and a little bit - but I"m interested to hear opinions. What would be a good alternative to the Sennheiser 545s? I'm interested in clarity, no static, lots of detail and comfort. Bass would be nice, not overpowering, but solid.
I'm looking for 'detailed' sound. I've heard good things about Grado, Koss, Sennheisers 580/600......etc. etc. What are youthoughts? They will be used for listening to music on the computer among other areas and for gaming.
