New Headphones! Options

[Liveoneut]

Holy mother of god!!!! I've had these new earbuds for quite a while now...so I'm going thru my songs in itunes and I start going thru my Live favs. I start with Sparkle and it just blew me away. I was picking out new sounds and riffs that I have NEVER heard before, even though I've listened to that song hundreds of times. So if you're on the fence as to get some new horns or not, I say go for it!!!!

So now, I have go and listen to every single Live song so that I can hear new stuff! Haha

Take care my fellow +Live+ family members,

care to tell us what brand they are?

Try listening to your music direct from CD and not from your lossy compressed (mp3, m4a) iTunes encodes and you'll get much more out of your new headphones.

Don't say Beats by Dre.

I'm a Bose guy, and have a nice set of Bose headphones.

Ultimate Ears the best, I have a set of E5's , Adam K turned me onto them, WOW

[Pokey]

Yeah, like Dan was gonna say (although not to the extreme of avoiding mp3 all together ) now all you gotta do is stop listening to songs in itunes and you should get even better sound!

Right now, I'm rocking Klipsch S4's. I totally agree with listening directly from CDs. In talking about it today, I might go down to Best Buy to see if they have TDTH. I also have a pair of on the ear Bose phones which I love.

I used to have a link to a VERY interesting article on audio compression and the whole deal. Problem is that its just too convenient to have your MP3 player loaded up with thousands of songs.

I been looking for some and i hear the Bose ones are great....how about the price?? What will a decent pair cost me?

[Merica]

Bose are an expensive brand, I think. But you do often get what you pay for.

Apologies if that's vague and not really helpful.

You can get a good pair of over/around the ear headphones from Bose for $150. They're entirely worth the price. I have a pair of their around the ear headphones, and they not only have great sound quality, they are actually comfortable to wear.

Usually around $150 for traditional style and around $85 for some good earbuds. Out of all the things that I've purchased in my life, a good pair of headphones is right at the top of the list. You'll spend days listening to your favorite songs again for the first time. Amazon is a good place to buy. They have good descriptions of products, great user reviews and one of the best return policies I've ever seen.
