Because there's no reason to hold back and not create one.

Nothing to explain except this topic is for headphones users, so let's start.
  1. What kind of headphones do you use? In-ear, on-ear or over-ear?
  2. Who is the manufacturer of the headphones you use?
  3. What is the model of your headphones?
  4. What do you think of it?
And I'm the first to answer
  1. Over-the-ear headphones
  2. Sennheiser
  3. HD 201
  4. I've always wanted over-ear headphones to avoid the shit Mama plays in the car but Sennheiser is quality no matter the price so why not go for one? If it's quality, there is no holding back.

You can also mention any news regarding headphones, and you can talk about legendary ones like the Audeze LCD3, or even crappy ones like the Beats Pro (All Beats headphones are crap anyway). You can talk about headphones you used before!

On the note of "news regarding headphones" (goes to Otaku Culture): We're seeing the first prototype of the Axent Wear Cat Ear Headphones. HYPE

Over the ear headphones
Sennheiser
HD 429
I love these headphones, excellent quality, great price, comfortable to the point where I can wear them all day long and forget I was even wearing them.

I haven't been able to wear any other headphones because Sennheiser has spoiled me.

What kind of headphones do you use? In-ear, on-ear or over-ear? over-ear
Who is the manufacturer of the headphones you use? raoop (i can not buy razer headphones because my money use to upgrade my computer)
What is the model of your headphones? rp-2833
What do you think of it? because this is simple and i love it to maximum volume always volume 100%

now my headphone's broken in right (now mono in left) and change now in speaker genius (broken in on/off)

Why would you want to buy Razer when there is better and cheaper headsets out there?

on-topic:
I have over-ear headphones
HyperX

It is alright. affordable and comfortable. It shows signs of breaking such as right side having no sounds (usually on phone, not much on others).

What if you use more than one?

I have 2 pairs of on-ear and pair of over-ear headphones.

Sony
MDR-XB400
Very good for it's price. It sounds great with any device that I use it on. (even my laptop and it's bad sound card that somehow ruins the headphone output jack)

Sony
DR-BTN200
Like the one above, it sounds good, but it's somewhat lacking compared to the MDR-XB400. It's not as warm-sounding. Being a wireless device, it's battery is excellent. It can probably last for quite a while.

Skullcandy
Crusher
It's more of a gimmick with it's 'subwoofer' (Vibrating coils). Vocals sound distant. It's not the best, but it goes hand-in-hand with my phone's sound settings. My phone makes use of the 'subwoofer' to it's full potential giving a really powerful, sometimes too powerful, bass. (Great for head massages :v)

Aww yeah more than one :) The joy of having two great sets of headphones!

Just writing this because I'm a bit sad with this: The pre-included in-ear headphones I took from Papa (with Mama's permission) actually made the "quiet" "background" sounds (best example: Wonderful Rush) sound loud enough, even louder than my Sennheiser HD 201 :(

CLiptec
Ozone BMH880
Pretty decent headphones and price, but it can make your ears feel a bit uncomfortable if you wore it for too long. Also, sometimes it can feel too bass-y or reverb-y.

idgaf really about what headphones I use so as long as it sounds good I'll buy it. no i'm not a pleb either because I've used other brands like BOSE, Sony, & Sennheiser but the beats solos are my current ones at the moment

this pair of earphones is pretty cheap. the sound is very very good for the price. my trustworthy walking companion

On-Ear
Pioneer
SE-MJ522
another cheap pair of headphones with great sound. the bass is a bit lacking. the vocal is pretty forward along with good detail of instruments. build quality does not seem all that solid though.

Over-Ear
Pioneer
SE-M521
this is my weapon of choice that sits in my house. the price is insanely cheap for the sound. overall a balanced pair. bass is sufficient, instrument seperation is pretty good. the vocals are not very forward. soundstage and positioning is great so i can enjoy FPS games as well as movies with great immersion. a real bargain.

ATH-M50 (Coiled Cable)
Great headphones. Easily the most comfortable I've worn. Sounds great, not too expensive, and nice build quality. I'm also a big fan of the coiled cable

i'm not going to fill out the form

I use tutlebeach P11s. Decent headphones and while people have complained about the durability, they've been fine for me. Dual channels also works out super cool, especially if I'm streaming, because I can still be on skype and not have to deal with everyone hearing the conversation.

for outside use, I use honestly whatever headphones I happen to find i lose them so much it's not even worth keeping track of
domSaur
some over-ear headphones that im too lazy to remember what brand/model it is.. just some cheap stuff(i don't buy big brands bec. for some reason, i break my headphones easily. after a few months of use they lose the sound and so i have to twist the cable to get the sound back.. )
AtomicSolar

SoundMagic

I actually got them today, quality seems to be good, and I love the design. They cost me my precious 20euros so they better last longer than two weeks.

I use the earphone, which is in ear, but it is very uncomfortable because it keeps coming out.
I have that problem with all Samsung earphones, I prefer Apple's earphone.

But in some places, Apple earphone is overpriced compared to all earphones.

You're right, when I put on my headphones and play something, I am unable to hear anyone. It's just plain awful that we have to make sure we can hear our parents when we put on our headphones (open-back anyone?).

I love them! Just the right amount of bass, they're extremely comfortable (at least imo) and they're not even THAT heavy (or is it just me?)! Also, I swear that sometimes they're massaging my ears - mostly when playing Skyrim or listening to some bass-heavy song. And the mic is pretty good for a headset mic. ≤3

What kind of headphones do you use? In-ear, on-ear or over-ear? - I've always preferred in-ear
Who is the manufacturer of the headphones you use? - Skullcandy
What is the model of your headphones? - Skullcandy Jib 2, I think
What do you think of it? - These are definitely the best headphones I've ever used. They cost like 150 kroner here (15 pounds), but they're worth the money

Sandy Hoey
What kind of headphones do you use? In-ear, on-ear or over-ear? - I have over ear since I use a gaming headset.
What is the model of your headphones? - Logitech G230
What do you think of it? They can get pretty hot over my ears, but I think that is more of an over ear headset problem and less of a problem with the design. They are really comfortable and sound and feel the same as the more expensive G430 that I had before
Jukkii
over ear
its the Sony mdrxb700 extra bass model which is unfortunately discontinued
they are absolutely amazing with great sound quality and goob bass which goes down to 3 Hz

  1. In-ear headphones
  2. Klipsch
  3. R6 (Black)
  4. Love the bass enhanced sound effect and it's really comfortable to wear on.
Never tried over-ears and on-ears. Used 2 sets of in-ear earphones before: one from Samsung phone and another from Walkman. The former one is so bad in quality that I can't even. The latter one causes my ear to be so painful in some kind of sense but there was no choice back then. And so the scenario kept on lasting until I get the current one.

I'm really happy that this thread exists tbh. At least people do care and concern about good and appropriate devices for listening to music.

Glad to have created the thread then. :) I felt like headphones had no place so I created this thread for the headphones users, to talk about what they are using, discuss some news (if any), and probably ask for what headphones to buy and are recommended according to the price range, audio quality, or even build quality, or other factors, if there will be anyone buying.

Speaking of recommendations, a Sennheiser Momentum (the wired ones) pair is good for those who are willing to go with their music to audiophile limits with ViPER4Android and ViPER4Windows, right?

It is technically impossible to reach audiophile limits with ViPER4Android - limitations from the DEVICES not the driver or certain pairs of headphones
ViPER4Android and ViPER4Windows are full audio drivers for their respective operating systems designed to TRANSFORM music

What do you think of it? Well, it beats my friend's Over-Ear Beats Studio(Gen 1). So I'm proud using it :) and its got good design, too!

The only drawbacks of my headphones is probably : the lack of detachable cable x.x so afraid it will break soon, but it already lasts 3/4 year and nothing happened but scratch on the earcups and a little unresponsive jack(spin it around and it will work again) :)

The Headphones
yea
Love seeing a headphone topic. I use to be a huge headphone enthusiast.

Type: Over-ear

Manufacturer: Beyerdynamic

Model: Custom One Pro

What I think:

Great choice, though pricey. Adjustable to fit an open or closed sound signature. Metal and premium plastic construction. I have had these for years, great for bassheads and audiophiles. Slowly falling apart though, just have to take care of them.

◾It has really good sound quality and is pretty adjustable. Not outrageously heavy and really cushy. I got mine for 3 dollars at "Give Me a 5", but it's probably worth much more.

AUS-teisciitb
Type: Over ear
Brand: Turtle Beach
Model: PX24
What do I think?: Amazing, Lightweight and Comfortable. It Comes with a removable in-line amplifier that is extremely useful for fine-tuning volume and adjusting bass. While using the in-line amp I can adjust the volume that my microphone plays back in my ears to prevent me from talking too loud.
I managed to pick them up on sale, for $160 Australian Dollars

Model: HD600

Kinda surprised, I thought there'd be someone else with the HD600s or HD650s here.

I have them connected to the Schiit Magni 2, they're comfortable, look nice and sound great. I've had them for a few years now, had to replace the cable recently but luckily they're detachable. I listen to a lot of different kinds of music, so I wanted headphones which don't cater to one specific genre with over-powering bass or treble. These are smooth and neutral.

But the HD600 headphones are Hi-Res Audio ready, right? You can listen to HR FLACs as they are (like, at a whopping 4608kbps) with those. :)

Bose
QuietComfort35/QC35 "Nissan Micra Edition"



I didn't have many headphones in life (My Tritton Kama, some chinese thing and the Apple EarPods which only one EarPod was working), and then I recieve this Bose headset from Nissan after I win it on their stand at the Paris Motorshow. I saw everywhere that it was the best headphones of 2016, and I didn't really believe it before I recieved it, but the Pricetag of 379$ was a clue about the quality. And it is Just perfect: the noise reducer works perfectly and the sound quality is surprising, but it's a Bose headset and I already say what they did with their speakers (Soundlink mini 2) but still, it was awesome. When you listen to music with it, or play Osu! in this case, you are in your bubble, you hear nothing of what happens next to you. But because it's headphones for music, you don't have a microphone, or at least it is working on phone but not on PC. If you can have it, Just go for it, you don't regret.

^Nice! QC35s feel great on the head.

Me:
Massdrop X Hifiman RE-00 in-ear monitors.
They replaced my RE-0s. People complain about these a lot - I don't mind a weaker bass and personally my build quality has been fine
Sony MDR-10RBT open over-ears.
Bought used, bluetooth functionality

I like them both. The option to switch between wireless and wired is extremely convenient and the sound signature is acceptable.
When it comes to in-ears, I prioritize neutrality over everything.
When it comes to headphones, I prioritize lightness and comfort over everything else since I'm wearing headphones a LOT. It's not great for my ears but ah well...

I got in the Massdrop X Sennheiser HD6xx deal! Christmas gift for myself... Need to find an dac/amp now -w-

Others on my radar: i.e. a wishlist, they're all quite costly ㅠㅠ
B&W P7: supposed to be surprisingly good sound for wireless. Need to audition 'em sometime...
Sony MDR-MA900 - ultra light over-ears
Etymotic Research ER4 - highly analytic IEMs
OPPO HA2-SE or JDS Labs' C5D are low-profile DAC/Amps I'm eyeing. Or maybe I should just get a V20 for my next phone and call it a day... Well that's a whole other story. Tried a friend's schiit stack (Magni2/modi2) but I'm not looking for a stack (Same goes for O2/odac.. Both look good)

Sennheiser on-ear Momentum 2.0

I bought this 2 weeks ago and damn I love it. The sound quality is so clear and clean and it looks well, really nice and kinda vintage with brown leather and steel frame.

What kind of headphones do you use? In-ear, on-ear or over-ear?
Over. Having a decently sized headset on-ear just never appealed to me since I wear it for hours at a time. I use ear buds (ie: in-ear) for non-computer use though - ie: 3DS and iPod music.

Who is the manufacturer of the headphones you use?
Sennheiser. Really good quality, though they aren't usually cheap to buy. I used to have a Microsoft one and I would have a hard time recommend any other headset for its price.

What is the model of your headphones?
PC320 Gaming Headset. Got it on Amazon for $101 when it's normally $161 (both figures after taxes and whatnot). I used to be in a gaming club while I was in university and they recommended this one. My old Microsoft one was the LiveChat LX-3000 and it was incredible for only $40. Lasted forever, durable and comfortable with extended use.

What do you think of it?
As mentioned above, I'm really happy with it. Sounds amazing, the cord's of a good length, the microphone is super clear and the volume dial's easily adjustable. My only real problem with it is the mute is activated by propping the microphone upward, which isn't convenient for me. Plus, when muted, it gives off a low-pitch buzz, which can get annoying if the person on the other end has the sound on in a quiet environment (ex: like when on Skype). Definitely worth what I paid for it though.
