What headphones do you use?
I'm likely one of the few here who uses bad phones. I spend so much time listening to music on my headphones, yet they suck. Why do I use these?
I won't even mention the brand/model of my headphones - that's how bad they are. I've been using them since high-school and they have duct tape on them because they've fallen apart many times already. I want to get rid of these old clunkers and get a pair of high-end phones.
I've done some research on headphones. These are two pairs of headphones I'm considering getting:
Anyone hear of those phones before?
The Portapros are much cheaper than the ATH50S, but I still don't know if I want excellent headphones or . . . less excellent ones. The Portapros are considered by many as being some of the best "bang for your buck" phones out there but those ATH50S sound so damn perfect. What I mostly want are phones that have lots of clarity and aren't too bass-heavy; I'm not a big fan of bass. I know that the Portapros look kind of geeky and old-school but looks don't matter to me when it comes to electronic devices. But I actually don't mind the look of them - they look rather unique. I might get them and be content with them for now since they're cheap and are highly regarded by most audiophiles despite having a cheap price tag. Hmm, but I still don't know!
Anyway: I'm really curious to see what you folks use.
