The New Headphones Thread

[E.H. Ruddock]

Jesus, I can't imaging the anxiety I would have if I worried about sound quality this much. Kudos to you guys that have that good of an ear for this stuff.

"Clout is the values-free currency of the always-online age — both a substitute for hard cash as well as a conduit to it. Clout is a calculus not of what you do, but of how much bulk you-ness there is in the world. You get clout by playing the victim. You get clout by victimizing others. This is something that is understood by the left and the right. If influence sways, clout squats, taking up space for its own sake."

Oh, okay.

It's wild just how much the sound signature of a pair of headphones changes when you replace the ear pads. Upgraded the pads on my Mezes to a nice set of velour pads and everything sounds much warmer and smoother.

This sounds made up, but I want to believe

[Jorge]

It's not even one of those "subtle enough that it might just be my brain tricking me" things, the difference is obvious and immediately noticeable

[Ello Sailor]

That's crazy. Who makes the pads?

I might have to buy something like that for my beats headphones.

Im also thinking about buying a new pair...some recs? nothing super expensive though.

[Ello Sailor]

Well that's a can of worms. Can't believe you're using Beats!

What's your price range in USD?

[Jorge]

It's a cliche at this point but my answer is the ATH M50x. If you're coming from Beats, they're the best entry-level option. Great everyday closed-back headphones at an affordable price. There's a bluetooth version too.

anyone else have sensitive skin issues when it comes to cans?

300 to 500 max maybe? im not really a headphones kind of guy, i use apple on the street and every know and then i use the beats at home, i like them fine because of how good the bass sounds.

[VinylGuy]

I also have some bluetooth ones i barely used, i got them from an ad commercial and left them at my previous office until we moved them and now they are home.

i could try them someday.

I love my wireless Sennheiser Momentums.
