BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Recently I've taken to listening to music at home with headphones. They're pretty decent ones. Decent CD player as well. Sounds bloody ace. I have re-discovered so much of my music collection, seems I was missing tons of detail up until now. Highly recommended. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I love listening to music on headphones. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yes me too. Lots of the music I like has a lot going on and benefits from headphones. Get the full effect! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 What does everyone use? Could do with a nice new set of phones. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I too listen to music and movies with headphones, it just sounds so good, with all the full sounds. I got my self a nice set of Sony inner earphones that I use for my smart phone and a set of Audio-Technica headphones for my computer. I sometimes use my speaker system, which has no name to it as I designed and built the amp, sub-woofer box and tweeter stands all from pine wood myself, which sounds lush actually, but I get complaints from my wife its too loud, blah, blah, blah....so headphones are the way to go.

NoFakie 45 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I got some Grado ones that I'd recommend for sound but not for durability. Its a pity because the sound on them is wicked.They're the first open ones I've ever used and I think I'll get that type again. Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Got some good Sennheiser ones myself. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Got some good Sennheiser ones myself. I have the HD558 for home usage. Silky tones pouring liquid aural orgasmic juice. But I guess it depends on the original quality of the source you are listening to really. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 CDs aside what is the best quality source? Are mp3s or whatever as good now? I'm old school Cd me, don't know much about all this new stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I hate the tiny bud things that you get with iphone etc. Nice big padded ones, can deal with. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 CDs aside what is the best quality source? Are mp3s or whatever as good now? I'm old school Cd me, don't know much about all this new stuff. If you are talking about digital, then FLAC files are the best as there is no loss in the compression/decompression of the file. If you want the source files, e.g. the master tapes from the studios, then if there are FLAC files available, go for them. Sometimes with mp3s of 192kb/s or around that amount, you can hear hissing in the background, if you have a decent set of headphones on. Otherwise, if someone likes the turgid pop crap that files the charts, the should go for whatever they like. Link to post Share on other sites

Alexander L 80 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I hate the tiny bud things that you get with iphone etc. Nice big padded ones, can deal with. I truly hate those. They don't fit and fall out when I take a breath. I have those Bose earplugs that stick right in. Link to post Share on other sites
yamayamayama 2 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I don't like any phones that stick inside my ear. Nicely rested over is fine, inside no. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I have some noise cancelling ones, bought in Tokyo a couple years ago. They are the duck's guts - but (and it's not a big but!) they cause my hearing aid to feedback, and so I have to take the aid out when using them. Link to post Share on other sites

634-maru 4 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I recently got some Sennheiser HD-700. They are amazing. Expensive, but amazing and hopefully will last a lifetime. Highly recommended if you love your quality sounds. Link to post Share on other sites
