Headphones

[nonie]

My first pair are Sennheiser HD 212 Pros and I've had them for less than half a year and the wire to the right earphone is messed up cuz somehow the wire popped out maybe because it got crammed in my backpack but idn. Can anyone recommend me some nice headphones that'll last?

if you aren't going to be using them when recording then the Beyerdynamic DT990's are good and very durable. I would personally recommend these over my akg k270's especially in the durability stakes. I myself am getting a pair soon (the 880's are half open and 770's closed also if you want closed design as often is the case for alot of tasks the Beyerdynamic DT150's are the way to go) about $200 usd

imo beyerdynamic are the best option performance durability (metal frame not plastic) and price wise

What about something in the $100? And I'm gonna be using them to record.

all about the HD 25s....

^Something in the $100 man that has nice quality, is durable, comfortable, etc. Not $200.

Someone on another board pointed out the Sony mdr-7506 and I'm lookin to buy that unless somebody has something better than that at $100.

I have the Sony 7506's and they're dope. Never failed me after all these years, I highly recommend them.

Alright cool. I'll prolly be buyin that the next time I go to the Guitar Center, if they carry it.

i'm looking at getting some headphones for around the $200 mark, at the moment i'm looking at the sennheiser 280 pro's, anyone had experience with these?, any advice on other headphones to look at instead etc would be appreciated

i recommend any sony heaphones from the mdrv-600 and up.
and any AKG's starting from the k-240's and up.
The reason i choose these cause they offer replaceable cable lines,great freq response naturally,
and can with stand high db levels so they dont distort easily

for $200 beyerdynamic dt-150 or akg k271's or k270's no doubt.... for $200 these headphones are better than the sennheiser offerings (imo). The sennheiser hd600's are sweet but in that price range so are the grado's etc.

i would get the dt-150's sound good and very durable.

im looking into the dt-150s at the moment, no-one in New Zealand stocks em from the looks of things... might have to do the order off ebay
