hey yall recommend me headphones
• i don't wanna spend more than $150 or so. i'm willing to go that much because i want something which will last, but i'm not gonna drop like $400 on some bs pair.
• i listen to a _lot_ of music of diverse genres.
• i also produce music.
• i'd strongly prefer over-the-ear.
@mhu2141ai hmmmph i'd prefer not having open ones as i tend to use headphones to block out noise in public spaces when i'm working
@er1n Yeah, that seems to be the case.
I've never seen/heard closed-backs I liked and just go with IEMs if I want isolation, but I assume that's a non-option. If it wasn't I'd say try to find a deal on used ER4P (preferably from when they had user-removable cables? or the new iteration which still do)
It does suck how hard it is to find something where all of the extra $ above 60-80 goes to build
@er1n Err, seems to be the case for most people who want headphone recommendations
@er1n i swear by AKG K 240 MK II.
you want the $135 ones, not the cheaper, lower quality $65 K240STUDIO.
they're just really good.
@pixelpaperyarn @er1n ill vouch for anything akg produces (and not just cuz im from austria)
@er1n i haven't bought very many brands, but audio technicas are good w/ sound quality. also, they're pretty bass light
i've got the ath-m40x and whatever my earbuds were again
@er1n oh, and don't get the ones without replaceable cords. you might not like the stock coil
@er1n (and it's easier to replace if it breaks, but that's only happened with the thin earbud cable for me)
@er1n unfortunately, the really good stuff costs around that much
although it's mostly just materials used: screws instead of glue, metal instead of plastic. lasting a decade or two instead of a couple years
@er1n if for some reason you may go up to 180$ i can recommend some DT880 which sound amazing and have lasted better than any i've had before
@er1n i use ath-m50x's and they're pretty good. i've considered (and actually used, for a while) more expensive headphones but their main advantage is tons of people have them and if you make music there's a fair chance that's how it'll actually sound to your listeners. fairly nice balance between "useful" and "sound good without making stuff sound unnatural in the pursuit of 'good'" and "cheap"

I have the wireless versions of these and they work great.
@er1n Used AD900 maybe? Is open fine, or no?
