Buy a product from any of the above companies and you'll be set for a quality audio experience.
I know plenty of people who use studio monitors for simply listening to music (completed recordings) because they want a neutral/flat and accurate sound, to which they can then apply custom EQ's to tweak it to their liking. Same thing with the more expensive headphones (e.g. Sennheiser HD650), very pricey but designed at providing mind-blowing quality to everyday consumers. You can get low-end budget studio monitors for as little as $100-200.Owyn_Merrilin said:I know audiophiles tend to use the term for the kind of earbuds that go inside your ear, but I find myself consciously avoiding it unless I know the audience is going to know what the heck I'm talking about.
My headphones cost twice as much as yours!Copper Zen said:Lessee, my previous "headphones" were a set of earbuds that cost $9.95 and lasted me 3 years before one went out.
My current set (purchased just last week) cost a whopping $14.88 and has a built in microphone.

I think that Ashley's suggested item is a tiny bit out of my price range,
Most "gaming" headphones cost 200 and are the same as your 30 dollar razor. that being siad there do are great headphones where the quality of sound is miles beyond, but you have to know what to pick and not jsut follow the shiniest "gaming" rig. sennheisers is a more famous brand for good quality headphones.Assassin Xaero said:... $130!? I thought my $30 Razer Moray headphones were a tad on the pricey side. I don't see how these could be much better, especially to justify that price.
Well, i do have my cheap version of headphones that go for 16-20k and its good enough for voice coms that usually dont go above 64kbps coding anyway.LordFish said:And just like anything the manufacturers will try and bend the rules as much as they can, but when they are all bending the rules the same amount it gives you a yard stick to work to.
Additionally those Sony's have a 13.5mm driver and do indeed kick out some very rich bass, so the 4hz did indeed indicate reality
