Stax Omega II

These range from about $350 (AD2000) to about $2000 (Omega II, no

amp) for the current production headphones. The discountinued

headphones (marked [d]) on this range from about $1000 (AKG K1000) to

about $15,000 (Orpheus), market price.

Discontinued headphones to consider

AKG K1000: These are really earspeakers, and they're about $1300 if you can find them

Sony R10: These are generally considered the best dynamic headphones ever produced. Expect to pay $6000+

Sony Qualia 010: Very fast, and they sound damn good if you can get a

good fit with them. Make sure to get a fit kit first, so you can see

what size to purchase.

Sennheiser HE90: If you have to ask..

Grado HP1/2/3: These are pretty much the best grados ever. Ever. Expect to pay close to $1500.

Grado PS1: If you like bass and have $3000..

Audiotechnica W10VTG, W11JPN, W11R W10LTD, W2002, etc: I love them.

Things not to buy at all

Bose anything: You're paying for the brand, not for the product. They

would be fantastic - If they were about $100 cheaper, for their

headphones. Much better headphones exist at much lower prices.

Skullcandy: Think of taking the cheapest crap you can find, putting on

an ugly skull logo, painting it in tacky colors that would appeal to

the same people that the NZXT Guardian. They sound like ass, too.

Active noise cancelling

Not really suggested; they use an additional battery, they have a very

high pitched squealing sound when they're on, and they don't block out

all noise, only noise like engine noise, and car noises. Not people

talking noise, mostly. Instead, try a nice pair of IEM's.

 
ipod quality isnt the best and they break on me all the time... i heard of a shinese smaller brand called yuin(the pk1model) supposed to be really good
