lost Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 my sennheiser 131 died. its time to replace them. i was thinking about the 151 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16826106157 i dont like the circular ones that enclose your ear, they are not cumfy. now i need some ear ones for my ipod, they dont seem to have any earbud ones i want but might as well get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16826159210 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 the PC151 is the best headset I've auditioned... earbuds suck, and I'm not keen on the iPod headphone output... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow47 Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Sennheisers rule. Good choice on that. However, I would strongly suggest you not go with the sony earbuds, as I know from experience that they aren't much better at all than the ipod whites. I would recommend spending at least 10 bucks if not 15 on a pair of earbuds. Your ears will thank you in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningJR Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16826106333 Are better earphones from sennheiser in that price range. As for earbuds these are good but seems to be out of your price range by the looks of the price of the earbuds that you picked. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16826158037 Koss has a pair of earphones that are a small bit better than the sennheisers and is even more affordable. They're call the PortaPro.

hardnrg Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 the Koss PortaPro sounds 10 times better than the PX100 (to me)... sound appears different to each person because of the differences in the shape of your outer ears (pinnae) and middle ear length, etc... to me, the PX100 sounds muffled, bland, and restrained... the PortaPro sounds a lot clearer, lively, much more clear and defined bass (that also seems to extend further), and also more comfortable... I think the muffled impression might be because of the frequency response dip around the 3kHz mark: http://www.headphone.com/technical/product...pare+Headphones as this is within the human's most sensitive frequency range, a dip here is quite bad, and is probably why I don't like them... conversely, some people don't like the PortaPro dip higher up (~6.5kHz)... neither are a headSET though, if that's what you were looking for with the PC151 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 i was talking to my little cousin today, and he said he doesn't need his steelpad's since he doesn't play CS anymore. he told me that if i get him a cheap replacement with a mic, he'd give me steelpad's. i was thinking about getting him the logitech internet chat ones. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Internet-He...400&sr=1-10 they for like 10 or even less on ebay. the creative ear canal one looks nice, but then i probably wont let anyone use them. plus my ears are virgins, i never had a canal set of headphones before, are they okay?

Silverfox Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Yes - I love earplug 'phones you can have volume MUCH lower, resulting in longer battery life (it does for me). Just be careful and remember how sensitive your ears are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 i never had a canal set of headphones before, are they okay? I have Westone UM2 in-ear monitors (IEM)... some people say they are the best headphones in the world... they're not cheap (~$270), but then they let me have the sound quality of my home system when out and about, and also better sound isolation than any closed-back or (lol) "noise-cancelling" rubbish... a decent pair of IEMs can cost between $50 and $1000... so there is a lot of choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psydotek Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) Grado! Grado! Grado! Oh wait, you want an integrated mic? Nevermind... While very few people have heard of them, Grado has some of the finest headphones around and are highly regarded by the audiophile community. I've got their "entry level" SR60 headphones and they are completely kick@$$. http://www.minidisco.com has afew models avaliable otherwise you have to go to your local hi-fi music store to find them.
