Currently, I have a Sennheiser HD205 headphones and it looks great for home-use and the sound quality is just around average. But I wanna look for something that has better sound quality (more bass), sleek design such as slimmer headband and preferably foldable, the HD205 is a DJ headphone, which means its freaking bulky and looks weird when I wear them on the streets. The cable is also too long and portability is an issue. My budget is around 200, hope you guys can provide some suggestions?
I dont think I wanna get another DJ ones, maybe something more "casual looking", like those on-ear types, I'm considering the PXC-100 II
True, the only really good DJ headphones are bulky. The in ear ones I know are english, don't know if they sell in america.
I agree, 1812. The bulky types definitely have the best quality, handsdown to dr dre beats lol But i want to look for the non-bulky type now, something that is easy to carry on the go as I travel a lot, have you guys heard about the AKG Q460? Is it good?
Technics RP-DJ1200. They're cheap ($150-200, maybe less), tough, light, non-bling, foldable, and COMPACTish. I've been using the same pair for years and they're still going strong. They're ON ear, instead of OVER ear, which I find results in much LESS fatigue. If and when I need another pair of headphones, I'll be buying them again. I've had several pairs of mid/high end Sennheiser and Sony headphones in the last 15 years, and will never ever be going back there. EDIT > Look at the grime! :
^w0rd! I'll second those technics. Never owned a pair, but have heard them. And if they last anywhere near as long as technic decks then they've gotta be a really good investment.
Take a look at Grado SR225i but they arent recommended for a long time use not as comfortable as Sennheiser. I think they are the best well spent bucks for the 200$ price range.
