On-ear/Over-ear headphones?

[MaC A$$ ViC]

Looking for some recommendations for over or on ear headphones, i cant stand the in ear ones they never seem to fit right for a long period of time, especially being in the gym. ill mostly use them in the gym and at home so somerhing i could use both places.

i know theres a few old threads but theres some new headphones i think that maybe some of yall have.ill still review old threads.

looking to spend between 1-300, nothing more but id be sure to go less. and if you want to recommend the beats just skip this thread cuz they are not durable. besides, the new monsters ones sound better and are more durable.

I know hella people talk shit but fuck them, I got some beats by dre over the head & that shit sounds like a concert.

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

I want some blutooth earbuds, seen some on kickstarter but they look like hearing aids kinda.

I use these at home: Amazon.com : Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Professional Studio Monitor Headphones with Coiled Cable : Dj Headphones : Musical Instruments


For the gym I use these: http://www.amazon.com/Rocketfish-Hi...=8-1&keywords=bluetooth+headphones+rocketfish

I fucking love them both.

Fuck beats, Audio Technica ATH-M50. Beats are coo for hella bass but that battery shit is crazy. I swear I used too many fucking AAA batteries on those things just cuz of forgetting to leave them on. But if you're going to the gym I wouldn't really recommend them since they are big as fuck, they're great for the studio/DJing and they're collapsable.

You don't want in ear headphones but the Bob Marleys were some coo headphones, I think I had the "people get ready" ones and they were pretty good until I accidently crushed one of the ears. I never fucked with the on/over ear ones tho.

fuck you palmer, you saw me writing that shit and had to post before me, huh?

These are better than beats or those audio technicas Amazon.com : Sony MDR7506 Professional Large Diaphragm Headphone : Musical Instruments

preffered choice for beat makers and film makers. I used these to monitor audio while recording video and late night editing where I couldn't use my studio monitors

i fuck with ear buds but i copped me a pair of bluetooth headphones and theyre perfect, forget the name brand but there convenient as fuck as long as you remember to keep them charged... ill look at the brandname later

I had those, I like the m50's better

only thing I didn't like... make your ears sweat

m50s are great for the price, have them on now. don't think they would sound as good as $400 headphones though. I found some random website that sold them for $105 and got guitar center to price match, was surprised they did.

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

^^ Come up lol.

 

[HomieMC]

^^ saw that, i see m50s everywhere now, they get a lot of rep on the net. wanted to second the recommendation. i would also recommend something like this if you have a laptop, laptop sound output is usually poor unless you have apple.

I bought these for $40 about 8 years ago and they still sound good. To me they sound just as good as Beats...

I like the looks of the Motorheadphones, but I haven't listened to them.

Supposedly they're above Beats and without the overpowering bass. I heard it as Lemmy was in the studio and trying to record some new songs with Beats and hated them, saying the biggest problem was the bass.

anything you buy on kickstarter wont get to you for a year or 2

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

whichever cans people decide to get, do all yourselves a favor and buy a headphone amp. There are some very good ones our there for under $100. And yes, they make a difference. IN fact, some headphones require an amp to get the full potential out of them.

Jaybird ones are pimp despite the price. I've had two pairs of jaybirds and a rockeyfish over-ear pair.

I copped these expensive bluebuds x or whatever. Unfortunately they're not sweatproof enough to shower with em on like the old "JTF3 freedom" pair I had but the sound quality is at least twice as good and battery is like 8 hours.

Here are the rocketfish over ear ones, they cost $40-60 from best buy. I kept blowing the speakers out with Illmatic and returning them til I got a pair that could handle the CD lol

I just hate how you can't lay down with the rocketfish ones unless you got a massive head.

I always knocked these headphones because I assumed that those rubber parts that attach to the speaker would irritate my ear. One day I had no choice because my Apple ear buds broke and had a spare of Samsung ear buds that my sister gave me from her S-4.

Dam was I wrong. Them head phones are NICE! Noise cancelling and all that shit. Plus, they give you several different sizes of them rubber parts to find which one your comfortable with. I'll never cop regular ear buds unless they got them rubber parts on them.

I cant hardly hear anything when I got these headphones on when the music is off. I can hear myself chew.

^ same shit happened to me. i had put them in a few times but they felt weird as fuck so they only lasted 30 seconds in there. then one time they were all i had so i used them for a while and i havent used any other type since
