Headphones

Lain, what type of headphones do you use when you go outside?

I use in-ear headphones in an attempt to stop trying to drown outside noise with volume, which led me to a mild tinnitus.

cheap in ear, i don't want to get killed for a pair of expensive dj like headphones or look like a dumbass

>>982 do you live in a place that you feel this threat? I wear AKG452s, not fancy or flashy, but a great sound. They're on ear, because i like to be able to hear my surroundings. Those or regular earphones, for the same reason.

The earphones that come with a Samsung phone. It is like 3€ on Amazon. They just werk

No audiophiles in lain? Shame on you people. I have a couple of htc hd in ear (the ones that come with the HTC 10) and beyerdynamic headphones

I don't go outside. But I thought about buying a rockbox supported player. On inside, I use a cheap (but good) Superlux HD681.

>>1005 I'd love to delve into the audiophile realm, but sadly no moneys.

ATH M50x, they are really nice but I wish i had an amplifier

>>1017 try to make one piece of this Objective-2 amplifier for 50 dollars (request /diy/ board!) http://nwavguy.blogspot.com/2011/07/o2-headphone-amp.html by someone who thinks objective reception of sound from amplifiers is biased and hates it, and he designed it based on solely measurable electrical performance. It has ignited a great flamewar in the audiophile community and many thought this is a piece of crap, but most agree this is the best one you can get within this price range. It is a great DIY project, I enjoyed it. But be careful with the power jack! The holes on the circuit board doesn't fit the nowadays power jacks. He designed a proprietary DAC later, and announced another open DAC hardware project, then he disappeared completely and nobody can fix it because of CC-ND license.

>>1017 My ATH-M50x flew away and became two pieces in an recent accident. Already ordered replacement parts, going to fix it. Now using a pair of Bayer DT-990, sounds great but needs a quiet room, it's an open design.

>go outside oh missed this word. don't use an Objective-2 while going outside, although it is not really bad but apparently not a good decision.

>>974 When in a bike, in-ear. Sony offer great deals here. You want extra bass for these ones. When walking, over the ear. I used bose and they are the comfiest, but too expensive for a sound quality thats comparable to a sennheiser worth 100 dollars less. At home, sennheiser hd280. Top tier.

Sony MDR-V6 cans. Had them for like 6-8 years, still great. The sound profile is really flat but if i got used to it and enjoy it now. If you don't like that just use an EQ. I remember i was like a teenager buying these and there was this guy who left an Amazon review of how he carried these all over the states and even stepped on them in the snow once and they still worked. You just need to replace the ear-pads eventually, they started chipping out over a few years.

AKG Y50 (red) to my Sony MD Walkman.

>>974 ATH-AT500X open-backs because I'm fuarrrking insane

Just ordered from Campfire Audio. Really excited.

>>1447 Why is she crying?

>>1448 lonely / sad music / artistic effect

Koss Porta Pro. They're perfect. https://www.amazon.com/Koss-PortaPro-Headphones-with-Case/dp/B00001P4ZH

ie 80. in the shop right now getting fixed though, audio in one year just went deafly quiet good apart from that tho

I don't use headphones outside, I normally use the built-in-speaker lowering the volume and putting it on my sleeve so I can hear tha music.

>>976 Likewise. It makes me want to veer away from in-ear or likely headphones altogether, since I'm not sure if over ears do the same

>>3190 Recently lost my music player so I've been forced to stop listening music while outside. I'm surprised it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Although it's annoying to overhear people's conversation on the bus.

DT770 but I don't really use them outside

Audio Technica ATH-M40x. They are really comfy, good quality and suppress noise nicely.

Some cheap earbuds I've had for awhile. Should upgrade but can't afford some Technic or Senn phones.

I use a pair of AKG K550. Pretty bulky and the length of the wire is annoying, I wrap it up in my pocket. Great sound quality though.

Sound Magic e80c for walk abouts with some after market foam buds. Beyerdynamic DT 880 premiums for at home. Can some proper audiophile Lains tell me the difference between just this and spending a few thousand on DAC, AMP, high high end headphones and so on. I can't imagine the cost scaling 1:1 with the price. There is a difference from £10 - £200 head phones, but spending something in the region of £2000 boggles me.

Koss Sportapros, I like to hear when I am about to be hit by a truck thank you very much.

>>1448 Realized she got memed into spending 8x the actual worth of the headphones.>>1448

Panasonic xbs. Cuz dirt cheap.

>>1447 She's not hugging you.

Rock Zircon and sometimes AKG K518
