Had skullcandy in ears for my ipod for a while, they were great, but I keep breaking my music headphones, so I stick with cheap ones now.

>>120161100
Allegedly they're the Alienware of the headphones world. Overpriced, middling quality.
That said, some of the best earbuds I've ever owned were Skullcandy, and were ten bucks, so eh

Buying Skullcandy is like buying Apple products.

Fucking horrible, outdated shit and 75% of the price is for the logo. Koss Porta Pros are like 30 bucks and are far better than anything Skullcandy has ever produced.

i've gone through TONS of IEMs specifically, but tried out a good bit fo skullcandy shit over the years too.

Their FMJ model IEMs are great for the price.

Everything else they make is okay. Their low-end $20-$30 stuff is usually worth it. Anything above that stay away from. Except the FMJs

>>120161324
Hm, interesting to know. To be honest I don't know much about headsets, and ended up picking up some Skullcandy ones. Though to be fair they were the cheapest ones in the store that weren't blatantly shit quality (not enough selection where I am), and they work well enough for what I do.

Probably when they eventually break and I pick up a different pair I'll notice the difference... but right now since I don't have a reference point, I'm fine with the ones I have. And hell, I got them too long ago to return, so no point in regretting the purchase now!

>>120162257
Yeah I do, got the headphones for free with the laptop.

I also have a Sony TV, which I got to replace my 1980's Sony TV, which still works.

>implying Sony products aren't some of the most trustworthy and hard-wearing products on the market

Comfiest headphones I've ever wore, 50 mm drivers, and great for music and vidya.

Plus they're closed headphones, which I prefer over open infinitely.

I seem to have lost the picture/info but there was an image guide I saved off /g/ that advertised a $2 microphone+double sided sticky thing combo that in theory could make any pair of headphones an awesome headset.

The audio quality was astounding, shame I don't have the image.

>>120162542

I must second this. Very solid headphones with a decent mic.

I believe that the world is going down the path of no return because we can't seem to have an honest debate without trying to be right about everything instead of carefully considering our opponent's viewpoints and weighing our own against them.

>>120162065
You must have serious social anxiety issues if you're afraid of "looking like a retard" just from carrying headphones. Using ear buds to listen to music is like watching a movie on a screen the size of a fingernail.

>>120162658
Speakers for games that aren't FPS and or atmospheric.

But the topic is headsets.

how about some earbuds?

"gaming" headsets are a waste of money

Got these a few months ago and I fucking love them. Easy to drive and sound amazing.

Where the fuck can I buy Audio-Technica headphones in Ontario, Canada? I want to find the AD700s.

>>120162807
Not the same guy, but I use earbuds because they're not huge as fuck. Just because you bought $80 headsets doesn't mean that they're better.

I've had these headphones for years. Picked them up really cheap when a Comp USA was going out of business. They're definitely the comfiest pair I've ever had, but the only problem I have with them is the cable with the detachable volume control. After a while mine went bad and the left and right sides would cut out at random. Picked up a cheap $1 audio cable and so it works just fine. Great headphones.

Although there are pretty extensive guides that cover all manner of crap related to getting the most for your money.

Have I got news for you.

RO uses the CPU for audio processing.

I've got Sony MDR-XD200s for over ear headphones and some Sennheisers for in-ear headphones. They definitely get the job done and they're pretty sturdy, so I don't regret the 30 bucks I spent on them.

>>120164005

They are closed monitor headphones, expect a lot of detail and tremendously great bass with small (but above average) soundstage. I don't know if they are comfy, do some research about that.

V6 are recommended by multiple audio forums in the below 100$ price-tag, even by /g/

Cost me 20€ ~2 years ago. The sound is exceptionally good, and even after a few hours of wearing it, my ears don't hurt a bit.

>>120164812
I've never heard anyone say anything bad about them. I've never even seen trolls attack them which is just baffling. The only negative I could see the audiophiles at head-fi bringing up is that they're cheap and don't really compare with most headphones that unsurprisingly cost way more. For their price they just cant be beat.

God, I can't remember what they were, but they were a pair of headphones... big enough to completely cover the ears, with a steampunk-ish style to them. The speakers/ear-covering parts were designed with gears.

>>120165714
That's because not a lot of companies are competing in that price-range; if you add another $20 or so, you get headphones with MUCH better production values than PortaPros.

Really, the PortaPros are just 2 decent cheap headphone drivers, some 20-cent plastic casing and foams, and a cheap piece of spring steel. Its production value is probably below $3.

My old GF was an audiophile and got me a pair of Shure 840s after talking to her about headphones. They are huge and make my ears start sweating after a few hours, but the sounds they let you hear are unreal.

The hell are you talking about no volume? I use these things when gaming on PC, I use them when listening to music, I use them to record music. They're pretty good for being so cheap. They just don't have really deep bass.

No, you don't have to get close to the mic to talk, that's what they're for.

Sennheiser PC350. Lacks bass but sound is crystal clear and precise.
AKG K518 for portable use (mp3 etc). Highs and mids sound very nice, heavy bass (which is good for me, since i listen to edm mostly).

Skullcandy is below shit tier when it comes to headphones, their sound is shitty, their quality is shitty, they are expensive and, on top of that, most of them don't even look good.
If I'd buy headphones as a /fa/shion accessoire, then I'd buy WESC, and still not Skullcandy.

Am I the only person who much prefers open headphones to closed ones?

>>120167344

It's isn't a copy of anything, that design is pretty common pilot headset design that's been around since the 60's.

Expensive brands pull in the pussy

>>120167384

If you get a 300$ headphone chances are you'll need an amp too, get some Senn HD 595

>>120165119
My nigga.

I've had these for like 2+ years now and the sound quality is still going strong. Dropped, thrown, abused, and still working perfectly. Sennheiser has made a life customer out of me.

>>120167841

Anyone who knows shit about headphones thinks the same.

>get some in-ear canal headphones while I get something better
>SWEET JESUS THESE THINGS ARE RAPING MY EARS
Why do people buy these shitting things? They're horrible to have in.

this is what I'm using right now

;-;


I'm thinking about getting something from here soon though

Not sure what though, probably the earbuds

Strange enough, Skullcandy's Titans lasted me the most and I really enjoyed having them. However, /v/ claims that I'm overpaying when I buy them, so can anyone point to me the cheaper alternative to the Titans?

>>120167841
For all intents and purposes, open headphones = better sound-stage, better mids, less nuances, less bass. Closed headphones = smaller soundstage, worse mids, more nuances, more bass. It's a balance and people will take sides.

Unless you go into $500+ territory, epic near-perfect headphones lurk there.

>>120168002
Yep, problem?

>>120167841
Nope

>Skullcandy

>>120160810
kill yourself OP

>>120168025
Those look terrible. Why do earbuds get made in that shape? That's not how a fucking ear works, it doesn't fit right.
Fuck sake.

>>120168025
No.
No.
NO.

I hate headphones that cover your entire ear because then my ears heat up and I fucking hate when that happens.

>having to wear headsets so you dont wake up your parents

awwwww wittle babbys on /v/

>>120168199
Don't tell me you're one of those people that would rather have in ears that penetrate your ears?

They were only 30 bucks at walmart..

Did I do good?

So whats the best headset i can get for under 50 bucks? prefer sound quality and comfort over mic quality. Doesn't need to have an amazing mic, just passable.

I have to agree with >>120162935.
Whatever you're planing to buy, save more money and buy from a reputable company instead.
If you're planning to listen to music, it's the way to go. A good headset is a good investment if you can take care of it....

>>120162707
Zalaman mic + Velcro stickers bud things + audio technica m50.

>>120168199
I'm poor and they were only like 5 bucks so shhhhhh

The shape isn't too bad, it's only uncomfy sometimes but most of the time you can't feel them

>>120168211
No what

>playing music out loud in public

Nobody wants to hear your retarded autistic metal

skullcandy is the most shit headphones you can ever buy, they fucking get destroyed so fast.

Steelseries is your best vydia phones.

>>120168343
They have their downsides too but I find them comfier and they fall out less.

How good are these things?

>>120168070
Open Headphones + correct AMP/DAC = Best bass, best mids, best highs, amazing soundstage.

I hate closed headphones, they make me feel asphyxiated and they got that "signature" headphone sound.

>>120168391
Nope; these are horrible. I listened to them at my campus library (they have hundreds of them there for the public computers) and their sound quality is atrocious.

If you're going Koss, aim for either PortaPros or DJ100; these are agreed to be the best sound quality Koss products by audiophile forums.

>>120168497
To each his own. I've tried them before, I cannot stand the feeling.

>>120168455
WHY WOULD YOU BUY FROM THEM.

If your looking for headphone advice, look for an audiophile thread on >>>/g/

>>120168651
From who?

The astro company or whatever?

I dunno they seem alright

I don't wanna ask /g/ because they're huge fags...

>>120165858
An actual name of a company or a specific model dumb cunt.

Price =/= quality.

>>120168606
To each his own. I (and a lot others) prefer the intimate sound of closeback headphones. Also, isolation, which is essential when living with others or working with others.

And "sound signatures" can be removed via headphone parametric equalization.

>>120168850
Do you really think there's any competence on the below 50$ pricetag?

>>120168843
They know more than you ever will.
