skullcandy/dr. dre question

[olympis]

how do the mix masters and beats by dr. dre compare
?

[Shomari]

skullcandys suck
and Beats aren't worth the money.

my 2 cents.

[olympis]

then what do you recommend?

[Azilius]

Do not....buy any monster or skullcandy products. Ever >_>

Beats are overpriced insanely and skullcandy is well..generally crap.

There's a bunch of headphone threads posted recently with plenty of ideas in them.

[Shomari]

then what do you recommend?

depends on price range

[olympis]

like 100-200 dollars

These puppies are fantastic! Picked up a pair recently, they sound great, and completely nullify all outside noise.

I've never used skullcandy before but its really just a bandwagon thing, at least in my place. plus ther fucking ugly. From the reviews I've read online it seems like sennheiser and bose have the best ratings but bose is very expensive

[tweaklizer]

My Skull candys broke, i got a pair of Over head Wesc what cost me £40 from HMV i think there awesome and well worth the money

Skullcandy is the Justin Bieber of earphones.

Dr. Dre is overpriced.

[Ch4otik]

head over to head-fi. it'll help a whoooole lot. not buying full cans yet but from what i've been hearing over there. beats are definitely overpriced and skullcandy barely reaches average. but.
for that range, most recommend audio technica m50.
as a matter of fact. i wouldn't be too surprised if THIS was your post.

[Kirkaldi]

beats are overpriced by they are worth every cent

[dom]

beats are overpriced by they are worth every cent

That made absolutely no sense. If they are worth every penny they are not overpriced - they are expensive.

[Stress]

Sennheiser, IMO. Forget Skullcandy, that's rubbish.

Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, Sony, klipsch. Stick to those.

I just got some Audio-Technica Technica ATHM40FS. I'd consider them midrange headphones..

Also looked at the sony mdr-v6 (NOT v600), few different sennheiser's, and a few audio-technica. I was on a tighter budget though so I settled for the AT's above, paired with a asus xonar dx soundcard... stuff will be here tomorrow, excited to see how my budget setup sounds. Also have a 5.1 logitech x-530 system to go with it.

What sound card do you have? Or is this going to be used on portable media? Both?

probably portable considering hes asking about beats and skullcandy.
btw what sound card would you recommend?

[EvGa]

Ah true.

Depends on your price range really. I like the Asus, Omega, and Auzentech brands. Each with it's own mid and high range cards depending on your budget. I went with the Asus Xonar DX because it has the same audio processor as their D2X which is a $200 high end card.

Not a fan of creative.

[Gaigemasta]

Bose have good headphones, not as overpriced, they aren't stylish though, but who needs style right?

[Miguez]

Seinheiser all the way.

[EvGa]

Thread hijack, but on topic. Got the audio-technica, xonar and a ssd in the mail today. (SSD unrelated to audio)

Sounds amazing.

Everyone loves pictures right?

[dom]

I just bought a pair of Sennheisers for work. It's my first pair and I love them.

[ryan1166]

I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 428's today for $100 today, and I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed. Atm I'm waiting till the burn in period is over!

[Jstar1]

I ordered my sennheiser pairs a few days ago. german engineering > all
