Dream Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 So recently I've purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD 380 Pro's (Upgraded from the 280's), and I have to say I could not have been more satisfied and definitely got the most bang for my buck. These are without a doubt one of the best pairs of headphones I've ever had for the price. Now before this purchase I of course tested out several models from a few leading brands (AKG, Audio Technica, Bose, Skullcandy, Sennheiser, Shure, and Beats by Dre). Since Beats by Dre was the most hyped among these brands I decided to test them out first, resulting in a massive disappointment of muddy sound quality, flimsy build quality, uncontrolled bass, and a ridiculous price tag. After a while it came down to the 380's and the Shure SRH840's, eventually choosing the 380's due to what I felt was a more dynamic, crisper sound stage. I was just wondering if there was anyone out there in Coldplaying with a similar story of how they came to obtain their favourite pair of headphones/earbuds and why they feel it is their favourite.

Dream Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I don't know I just buy Skullcandy I don't get you audiophiles We look for the best sound quality based on our preferences ;) I was actually sort of tempted to walk out of that store with Skullcandy aviators because they looked so awesome.

Dream Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yes Beats are indeed the epitome of shit, what else do you expect from something that was founded in 2008 in order to compensate for a failing rap career. They're good if you want to get pounded into submission by bass though, I guess. Anywho Sony's are always a decent choice on a strict budget and have served many among us well.

Brent Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Haha I don't think Dr. Dre counts as a failing rap career :| But most successful rappers capitalize from lucrative sponsorships and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpWithTheBirds Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Skullcandies. They work and are cheap, and readily available for when I inevitably break or lose them. I can't justify spending a lot of money on earbuds. They always break no matter how expensive, well at least mine do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I was actually thinking of this ad: Dr. Dre Under Pressure HP Beats Audio Laptop Commercial - YouTube The commercial looks as much as an actual studio as the Beats sound like what's produced in one. Needless to say.. Nothing at all. I wonder who had the nerve to slap the title "HD" on one of those beats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
