It's a fairly subjective topic, discussed to death many times over herein
and elsewhere, everybody loves the ones they've come to love.
I love my Fostex T40, see:

Let us know what you choose.

Hello, looking for the best headphones (under $150) to use with my
home stereo (Sony receiver). I really want something that has
excellent sound, is excellent at managing very high volumes, has
outstanding bass, looks good, and is comfortable. I've heard about
Grado SR80's but have also heard they don't handle a loud sound or
bass reak well and are not the most comfortable headphones (This is
just from what I've heard). If anyone has an alternative
recommendation, I'd much appreciate it... or are those Grado
headphones the best out there. Thanks for any advice!!!

Hello, thanks for all the responses. I still haven't decided which
headphones I'll get but I was also looking into getting those
Sennheiser RS-100 wireless headphones that Tweeter.com has on sale for
$50... was wondering if anyone knows anything about them and how they
compare to the Sennheiser RS-110 and RS-120?? Apparently these RS-100
headphones were made specifically for sale only at Tweeter.com so I
haven't found anyone that can give me insight into these headphones
yet... does anyone here have any knowledge or experience with them??
Thanks!!!
Julie

I have never tried wireless headphones, Sennheiser included, that were not
subject to noise and interference. I would strongly suggest wired 'phones
with an extension cable if sound quality matters.
It's true there are times where wireless portability is helpful, as when
watching TV while working out or doing housework. In that situation, since
sound quality will not matter much anyway, choose based on factors like
comfort, how well the 'phones stay on your head, battery life and recharger
convenience, etc. It's possible the Sennheisers will fill the bill in such
applications, but the advice that headphones should be auditioned and "tried
on" for fit and comfort still holds true. If Tweeter offers a satisfaction
guarantee, so you can return them if you don't like them, it might be worth
a try. And $50 isn't that big a gamble.

Hit google's advanced group search and look for posts from Tonebarge
talking about the wireless phones he's been using at his studio.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that Grado's are so uncomfortable since they are
FABULOUS sounding phones. I replaced their pumice-like cushions with some
cheap ones from Radio Shack. They still sound great and they're a little
more comfortable.
The new Grados are much more comfortable. If yours have the older cushions,
call up Grado and order a pair of the new-style cushions. You will be much,
much happier.

Definately better now - and the headband has a bit less "squeeze".
You'd have to spend $200 or more to get better sound. |
