well, my headphones have come to an end. it might still be fixable but I need to gather all my macgyver skills to fix it and at the moment I just cant be arsed.
now that I happen to be at helsinki, there are plenty of stores available, so my questions to you, dear members of the crossfire community are as follows;
1. What headphones are you using?
2. Which headphones would you suggest?
3. What do they cost?
4. pros and cons in them?
What I don't want:
- wireless headphones.
- headset - so it should be without a microphone.
- earplugs, eg. ipod earplugs.
thanks in advance for your effort.
EDIT: they should be good for gaming, but I would also take them with my iPod while travelling. I was planning on spending around 100 euros on them, could be bit more, but preferably around 100e

just kidding , dont ban :(
but I also have nice emo-ish style that doesnt get fucked up by headphones and I can always just make my hair extra strong so that it doesnt get fucked up by headphones or any other thing for that matter!
i use my iPod ears and they're decent.
also: Sony tends to have good ears/headsets (without mic)
or Sennheiser, instawin with those
they dont stay in your ear when walking (doesnt go for everyone) and they hurt if you have them in for more than an hour. the quality gets even worse if you use them longer than 1 week. And last but not least...they are ugly and dont match the colored/black ipods
I got the wrong ones though, it was suppose to be DT 880. Here's a review: http://www.dansdata.com/dt880.htm
They are also very comfy after a few weeks! Price is around 100 €.
They are just holding pretty tight in the beginning. It's not that bad, but you notice it after some hours.
Edit: oh lol nvm
I hated my set at first because of the tightness, though. Luckily it wears out after a while.
The sound quality is great imo and they're really comfortable.
edit: Bose also make nice audio equipment!
i had to switch almost every part in it, had to dis amble it and switch weirs
they become even better ;p
you have 24 hours a day, fixing it will take you 30 minutes? start moving fatty ;)
11:58:32| <@decem> and its been lose for so long that the wire has taken some damage
11:58:46| <@SL|unitier> you can exchange the wire without any probs at those here
11:59:00| <@decem> I mean the wire inside
11:59:11| <@decem> the wire from earphone to earphone
11:59:11| <@SL|unitier> ah
11:59:11| <@SL|unitier> duno
11:59:12| <@SL|unitier> :p
11:59:20| <@decem> it only needs some soldering I think
11:59:36| <@decem> then I would need to make a plastic holder of some sort
11:59:38| <@decem> lots of work tbh
I'd post pictures but im not at home.
post pictures later
nice, when i was a kid i built lots of shits ^_^
bought the equipment and start building roulette, alarm clock, alarm clock with optic sensor that when he sense the sun he start ringing bathoven music :p
and also a clapper (the one you connect to the light and when you clap your hands it turn on/off) and many more ;)
now i learn electronic in school with a higher lvl, im working at a lab but its fucking boring
i learn everything from my father, he was able to repair tanks in the army with no problems so fixing a shelf is no problems :p
i build also airplane models, i dont have pics avi so take some of me friends, we built the same things
and alot more, btw we built everything from nothing, we have big plywood and we cut it and make everything you see :>
and it fly magnificent !
my dad had these also, but then he discovered gaming :x
HD600, HD650, HD580. AKG K601, Denon D2000 and so fort.
we should introduce 'ask urtier'
(any elite sennheiser or koss should be fine.)
2. BEYERDYNAMIC DT770 (there are several editions, choose any)
3. A bit more than 100e
4. Closed, AWESOME ULTIMATE EPIC SOUND QUALITY (especially BASS), though they are too big for often usage with ipod.
btw every time i see some sound recording studio or a radio studio on tv, people are using dt770 there ;o
I have DT880, which are open version. Very good, but DT770 give more bass, due their structure.
AKG K601(open) could be worth to check, so would Denon D2000 (closed).
2. sennheiser hd 595
3. ~140e
4. yes, they're pro
Sennheiser HD280 Pro / HD555 / HD595
2. Beyerdynamic DT770, likely my next purchase :)
3. Depends, Pro version is bit cheaper, but 100e - 200euros
4.
Pros:
- Really solid soundstage
- Suitable for all kinds of music
- Low and detailed bass extension
- Build quality is miles better than with Sennheiser
Cons:
- They aren't the best looking phones around, but who the fuck cares
- Possibly not that easy to get for the right price
AND if used phones are an option, Sennheiser HD650 are great option for 180 - 200euros. I had those for a few weeks, loaned, but I had to return them. They require a headphone amp, that's a downside - to get best out of them.
Suomeksi, kyllä ne Beyerit vie :)
