Need new headphones. Headphone bruhs, gtfih

[Smokes]

Overpriced and unbalanced sound quality ‘fashion’ headphones IMO

You can get mad females at the gym if you got on some Beats by Dre. They flock to guys with Beats.

My minimally cauliflowered left ear blew the hell up this week and I can't fit ear buds in there anymore.
However, cauliflower n the right ear makes it tough for bigger headphones to fit comfortably.
I don't use headphones much, maybe 2-3 hrs a week and when I travel. I'd spend $100-200 if need be. What do I do?

Look at audio technica or sennheiser. Ath50 or pcx 550 wireless versions are the way to go if you travel.

on ear or over ear?
closed back or open back or semi open?
wired or bluetooth?

Over ear, either for wireless, don't know what open and closed back mean though

Get closed back, people can hear what you're playing with open.

Open vs. Closed Headphones. Closed headphones will isolate you from external ambient noise to varying degrees. ... Open headphones do not block out ambient noise and allow audio leakage out of the earpieces. However, open-back models can often sound more airy, clear or spacious versus their closed counterparts.

ATH-M50x (or I guess ATH-M40x these days) for wired closed cans. They are pretty solid and durable, good clean sound.

Bang for buck, it’s hard to fuck with Audio Technica products, and I’ll put these cans up against anything that’s out there.

check out akg headphones, prices go from cheap to eye watering, but they're good quality.

I bought a pair of custom jh16’s 3 months ago. They are unreal. But they also cost a nice chunk.

I’d go customs, you can get a nice pair of customs for 300...

I like the SoundBot wireless headphones for day to day use. They are wireless, they fold up, & good quality, they last.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

sennheiser anything is spectacular

Does the frame (or whatever) need to loop over your ear? Don't think that would be comfortable for. Glt a wee golf ball on my ear

I have a pair of Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones and I'm 150% satisfied with the build quality, and music quality is the best I've ever heard.

Or if you're into over-the ear headphones, the P7s are even better.

These look like they're from the 1970s lol

 

[Crom Cruach]

Beyerdynamic T51i for a commute with top quality sound.

They are not too big so they can travel the won't do sports. They'll fall off.

So? Comfort and sound quality are the top priorities with men's headphones, not fashion.

I was under the impression @Spoken was male.

Not a big fan of Sennheisers. The one model I got felt like it was squeezing my fat head.

It's going to be difficult to find a legit set of headphones under $200

I would go with the Audiotechnica M50x which are around $150

These are also good for $120. I have a pair similar to these:

Also, got some memory foam replacement pads similar to these for them too:

Highly recommend pad replacements if you use headphones for long amounts of time.
