    For all you degenerates asking what headphones to buy.

    Here's a quick guide for you saps.

    Brands to look for:
    Sennheiser - Great sound, great look, great build quality.
    V-Moda - Great sound, tons of bass, built like a tank.
    Grado - Good sound, rustic look, good build quality.
    Audio-Technica - Amazing sound, fantastic build quality.
    AKG - Incredible sound, great build quality.

    Brands to stay away from:
    Beats by Dre - Sub-par sound (Badly repressed mids, over-driven lows and highs), very cheap build quality, hellishly over-priced.
    Soul by Ludacris - Strikingly similar to Beats.
    Skullcandy - Low-quality sound, weak drivers, cheap build-quality.

    You were seeking strength, justice, splendour.
    You were seeking love.
    Here is the pit, here is your pit.
    Its name is Silence..

    Also recommend Ultrasone for DJ headphones, I know a lot of people on MPGH think they're DJs.

    Always thought that Beats was good. My whole life is a lie.

    What made you think they were good. It astounds me that people by $100+ products based off face value. A 1 minute Google search would've provided countless reviews, forums and objective testing showing the poor performance of the Beats range. Every single model off that line-up can be beaten at similar or lower price points. Same goes for Souls, Skullcandy, and pretty much anything else swag ******s endorse (no offence to real ******s).

    When I went to buy headphones for dj-ing a couple of years ago I tried on about 20-30 different ones.
    Saw AKG and just thought it'd be a shitty, bad quality Chinese brand coming into the Audio scene....
    but then I tried them on and WOAHLY SHIET! by far the best Headphones I've ever used. (Ended up getting Pioneer HDJ500's because of the price)
    I don't own them since I have KRK 8400's but they'd definitely be at the top of my headphones list!

    My Q701's are one of the best things I've ever bought. Definitely a fan of AKG, although their lower priced headphones don't have the same quality that Audio-Technica and V-Moda have, but they're still great.

    The green ones right? I remember seeing a picture haha, look comfy as!
    Have to also think about how comfy they'll be when you're buying headphones. I can wear my KRK's for hours and forget they're there since the cushions
    are squidgy.
    Your's look like they'd be wearable for a long period of time aswell since the cups look huge and the fur
    So sleek

    Yea... I mentioned the same thing in another thread. $100 products are usually beaten by lower price products in almost every aspect.

    I am very proud of my V-MODA-s.. they are indeed awesome and built like a tank.

    But I also like my 2 pairs of beats.. I am an incurable basshead.
