Headphone thread [merged]

[mbt]

got them for 3,290 at the listening room mega

ang ganda ng sound! music really comes alive with these headphones, especially for the price. mas maganda yung quality nung audio, even compared to a decent set of 4.1 multimedia speakers (my Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000). mas distinct yung tunog ng instruments, and its easier to hear faint instruments that aren't very apparent with the MM speakers. the clarity is really good

very comfortable too, and it doesn't need to be powered by a dedicated amplifier to deliver great sound... although those looking for deep, tight bass will be a bit disappointed.

great sound for the price! if the 497 can deliver this much sound quality, nakakatakot na siguro yung tunog ng HD600!! hehehe

sennheisers are a reputable brand talaga...even their microphone work wonders din....hehhehe

but their headphones are one of the best, AKG brands are very very good also if not, much better than senns....

be reminded that senns headphones are built for diff applications, like they have models for cd players, mds and the likes, they also have diff. makes for mp3 players, same w/ AVR, Intgrated Amps, or digital connections...hindi komo mas mataas yung model number eh mas maganda ang kalalabasan nang tunog... (for example, cd player yung source mo, tapos ang binili mong Senns eh yung para sa AVRs....payat ang tunog non...hehehehe gaya nung friend ko dito....ang mahal nang bili nya, tapos eh gagamitin lang pala sa MP3 player nya....ampangit daw pala nang mga Sennheisers na headphones...todo na raw yung volume nya eh ang hina raw nang tunog...hehehe,.....akala kase komo mas mataas yung model no. eh mas maganda na...hehehe di binasa kung para saan yung applications...

kelangan kasi ng amplifier yung mga headphones higher than the 497 na e hehehe... ala akong pambili :D yung HD600 is senn's highest-end general-use headphones hehehe

Yung mga mahilig sa sounds jan, tips naman kung anong brand ang maganda para sa headphones. Actually i will use it for my PC to listen to my MP3s while everyone is already asleep.

Yung mga na-experience kong computer headphones, puro tunog lata. Wala man lang fidelity. Para kang nakikinig ng AM radio. Maganda din yung matindi ang response sa bass, tipong tanggal ang tutuli.

sennheiser is very well recommended. i use it myself. but you really need a headphone amp to get the best performance out of the midrange- and higher models (e.g. i use the HD495). the circumaural models (e.g. HD590) are even better, both acoustically and comfort-wise, but an amplifier is more or less mandatory, while the HD495 or 497 doesn't need one. the lower-numbered sennheisers (e.g. RS60) are pretty run-of-the-mill, not much different from the usual sony or philips.

Uy where can I buy this? Badtrip yung speaker sa office, di lang tunog lata, minsan wala kang maririnig na sounds.

if bass is what you want, then look no further than the Beyerdynamic DT770-80. these suckers are the bass monster of headphones, but they still sound good. the midrange is kinda recessed coz it gets drowned out by the bass. it does need an amp though to sound good.

[glntVR]

wait! pano nilalagayan ng amp ang mga headphones na yan? sorry... first time i heart of this. My dad has a sennheiser hdr 65 wireless headphones. Is that a good model?

[mbt]

look no further than the Sennheiser 497. i use these and they are impressive even without a headphone amp. around P3,200. search the net for reviews (ex. http://www.headphone.com/guide/by-ma...er/sennheiser/ ) and you'll see that feedback is overwhelmingly positive hehe.

other good choices for P2,000 or below: Sennheiser 212 Pro, Sennheiser 202, AKG K55, AKG K66

make sure that the headphone you get fits comfortably on your head and ears.

yugn ibang brands tulad ng Beyerdynamic at Grado... almost impossible to find here hehe (i think)

Mga pards, sa computer ko isasaksak yung headphone ha. Hindi sa home theater. As in dun sa AUDIO OUT nung jack sa likod ng computer or dun sa laptop ko. Yan bang mga brands na sinabi nyo required talaga ang amplifier? Hindi ba yan kayang i-drive nung computer AUDIO OUT lang? Gusto ko sana yung plug-and-play lang. As in plug-it-in-ready-to-go.

Saka sana hindi ginto yang mga headphones na yan. San ba yan nabibili dito sa Pinas?
