mobile phones cant drive anything over 200 for ****, so buy a Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro

Infernus Lapse · 11-07-2013

• $80

• Alternative, Classic Rock, Punk, Metal

• Full-Size

• Close-backed

• iPhone, Laptop

• Above all, I want durability and reliability, I don't want headphones that start only playing in one ear after I only use it for a year.

Talon · 11-07-2013

Grado SR80i would be 100% perfect but you said close-back and full-size. You could probably find an M50 around that range if you're lucky.

DragonRider · 01-09-2014

You still doing this? My pair broke and I'm using some crappy Beats knockoffs x.x

Budget: $40 max
Music Preference: I listen to anything
Form Factor (Type): on-ear
Open-backed or close-backed (not for IEMs): closed
Source (MP3 player/desktop/etc): laptop/desktop
What's above everything else? - Sound quality / Looks or Design / Build quality / Portability: Sound quality, build quality

Koss Porta-Pro.

Emm Fiddys are more entry level DJing/Studio monitoring.
Does it really have to be closed? There's the AKG K451 and it's for 50pounds http://www.amazon.co.uk/AKG-K451-Fol.../dp/B005LBQ7BY on amazon.co.uk, but somehow there's a high performance version or something for 100$ and I don't think they sell the normal ones on amazon.com

I just bought a pair of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for work.

M50s are fine for music, they're the most highly recommended headphone on Head-Fi for budget audiophiles and average consumers alike. They're fine as long as you're not tone-deaf to treble coming off from the excessive bass of Beats and the like. The M50 was my first audiophile-grade headphone after using SC for a while, and it pleased me enough to the point where I started investing $300+ on headphones.

Budget: 80 dollars or lower
Music Preference: Punk Rock
Form Factor (Type): Over ear
Open-backed or close-backed (not for IEMs): Close-Backed
Source (MP3 player/desktop/etc): MP3, Laptop with Beats Audio
What's above everything else? - Sound quality (but of course it can't look like a piece of garbage)

Currently I'm just using Skull Candy Aviators I got for 50 dollars on a special sale. It's at the end of its life (even though I used it for only four months, it's already wearing down). So something similar to that or has noise cancelling technology would be even better.
