Good headphones?

aretardedorange · 01-16-2011, 01:07 AM

Broke my apple pair need new ones soon. What are some good headphones around the $25 range. Skull candies?

TK-421 · 01-16-2011, 01:10 AM

skull candy is garbage - the sound quality is average and they break very easily

gun6slinger9 · 01-16-2011, 01:45 AM

Nothing is exceptional in the $25 range... i would just buy a cheap pair of sony or skull candy and replace when they break.

gun6slinger9 · 01-16-2011, 03:45 AM

^ if you can get beats for $25 hook me up lol

JayKay335i · 01-16-2011, 04:12 AM

Nothing. Klipsche for around $75 is where it starts.

newdadkel · 01-16-2011, 09:53 AM

You can find LE ultimate ears for around $40 sometimes. They are good lower end for blocking outside noise and giving decent sound. But you wont get anything fantastic for $25 unless they are stolen. Stolen beats for $25 would be perfect.

I didn't say Beats because of his price range but I love mine too:

Double the price and you wont regret it. The fairly good ones start there.

Big question is, do you want sound isolation (IEMs) or Earbuds?

HPFREAK · 01-17-2011, 05:58 PM

--Edit Didnt see the chap above already rec'd them

Check these out. I have them and they are really good for the price. Great sound and base is good.

OC Guy · 01-17-2011, 06:06 PM

Hey Brad,

I haven't tried some IEMs in awhile as I have either cans or earbuds but my problem with some of the IEMs I have had (Shures for example) is you can hear yourself moving when you have them on. Like a shuffling sound in your ear. Can you work out with those?

ellipsis212 · 01-17-2011, 06:09 PM

i have some Klipsch X10's and they changed my life. expensive yes, but musical bliss on my subway commute? yes.

throw that $25 into a piggy bank and save up for a good pair!

Hmmm... that is highly illegal *if he sells the stock*. I know of more than a few young traders that were doing the same thing and were fired from their firms. They are going to make an example of 50 for doing this if he sells his shares anytime soon.

At the subway they would be perfect but at work I can't have all the sound isolation (not being able to hear coworkers).

infinitekidM2C · 01-17-2011, 06:47 PM

I have some cheap sonys for $20. For working out...can't complain for the price

THOSE for the price. I have some really old sennheiser's, the HD 497, they havent made them in quite some time I dont think. They are still going just like new, and have been on everytrip I have taken and all over the world with me. I use them almost nightly at home when Im on my computer. The sound quality is amazing.

In your price range, the 202's are the best you will find, hands down.

bluespeed117 · 01-18-2011, 02:47 AM

skullcandies are great and they all come with a warranty. I used the earbud skullcandy headphones and they had a great balance of bass, mid and high tones. I also have the T.I dj headphones which are great looking and sound great.
