They are pretty nice especially for how much they are worth. The only thing I dont like is the material around the ear pieces. I weather them all the time when I am on the computer and it causes the skin there to suffocate and sweat a times. If they had them in a more breathable material or some other headphones like it would be nice.

MDR-V6. Cheap, durable (except the ear pads), easily repaired, and even sound across all frequencies.

ATH-AD700. The most comfortable headphones I've worn so far.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7992790
I don't really hear that. I mean they're really analytic, I guess a plastic-y sound might depend on what you have powering them. Then again, the only thing I had to directly compare them to were my 280s and those two are so different in quality and open vs closed air it would be hard to isolate something like that.

They kind of hurt my ears after wearing them for 12+ hours but I like them and they're sturdy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7992829
Just like faster processors, greater capacity RAM, and larger HDDs are a scam? The number are there if you look for them: input impedance, frequency response range, sensitivity, driver size, et'cetra. More expensive headphones are more expensive because they have drivers and circuitry can play higher and lower pitches, respond more accurately to input signal, and ignore EM radiation garbage signals. The difference between a $20 headphone and a $200 dollar headphone is the difference between pine particle board and knot-free oak straights.

I'm not an audiophile but I only use in-ear earbuds at the moment, which is a pair of Sennheiser CX300-II. They costed me $70 but they were a massive step-up from iPod earbuds.

>>7992839
I mean.. it's like comparing hi-end laptops and hi-end desktop PC's. Desktops are better and cost less.

I mean... a real audiophile wants external BIG speakers. Cheaper and with EXTREMELY BETTER frequency range.

I'm sorry but you'll never be able to reproduce the lower waves even in the tiniest tiniest clever earphone ever invented.

All the electronic hardware and software gimmicks enhancements they put in headphones are like the digital zoom in cameras...
you can zoom a lot but the resolution remains the same...
so you can modify the sound , but you don't add quality.

>and ignore EM radiation garbage signals.

big scam. a good couple of toroidal ferrite, (50c) nicely done jack and cables connection and you are set. No em at all.

>a real audiophile wants external BIG speakers
No shit, but this is about headphones.

>you can modify the sound , but you don't add quality
Again, no shit. Headphones and speakers will at best smooth imperfections in the source: speakers use the acoustics of the environment between cone and ear, both headphones and speakers use software and electrical components. Speakers can more accurately reproduce low-frequency sounds due to the physically larger drivers - but this about headphones, not speakers.

>No em at all
...From the headphones and headphone cable. But what about the induction from components leading to the headphone cable - are those properly shielded? Anything picked up there will be perfectly transmitted to the headphones and perfectly reproduced - including EM radiation. Input impedance has its place as an important metric.

Impedance can be bad if you have an electromagnetically sealed connection from source to cone, and require extreme precision in the reproduction, but that's an incredibly niche case that's less audiophile and more scientific.

MDRs, but only because I live in Japan and produce music, and MDRs are considered the standard in Japan because of their flat frequency response and relatively low price tag (￥15000 or less). For simple listening though they're not the most comfortable headphones, and I've had a couple pairs break on me after carrying them around loose in my backpack a lot. They're good for the most part though.

[Anonymous No.]

Woah, looking at the OP pic again, can you really get MDRs for 65 bucks now? Damn, I paid over $100 for mine a few years ago. Maybe I should of looked harder.
