ultimate99 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I've never owned a real set of headphones, always used ear buds. But I'll be taking online courses and like to listen to classic while reading/studying. Would this be a good one? http://www.amazon.ca/Audio-Technica-ATH-AX1iS-Headphones-Smartphones-Black/dp/B00JTBH7A2/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1422813586&sr=1-8 Budget: under $50 CAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudeBro Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Open or at least semi-open headphones is best for classical music with their wide soundstage. Probably the cheapest decent budget ones you can get is this one: http://www.amazon.ca/Superlux-681-Dynamic-Semi-Open-Headphones/dp/B002GHIPYI/ Reviews on it: https://teksyndicate.com/videos/best-headphones-under-50-superlux-hd681-hd668b-headphones http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/superlux-hd-668b-and-hd-681-headphones Maybe if you can stretch out your budget for better open back headphones you might enjoy it more. Stuff like AKG K612 Pro, Audio-Technica ATH-AD500x or Sennheiser HD518/558 are in the low end of audiophile open headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimate99 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Umm yo' gon' haveta' up your budget for GOOD headphones. Like how much? It's just i'm not an audiophile by any means, and don't listen to music, except classical. So I don't know if I want to spend $100+ on headphones.

Anibal P Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I went with the ATH M50x but were on sale and closer to $100 Need to be able to take them to work and use at home, so open or semi open were out of the question, been thinking of getting something similar but open soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimate99 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 How about these? http://www.amazon.ca/Audio-Technica-ATH-M20x-Professional-Headphones/dp/B00HVLUR18/ref=pd_sbs_MI_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0JAPHEJ4381ANAW1VCXW Good reviews and price is ok (on discount).

SteveCac Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm after some headphones with as close to zero sound leakage as possible, but obviously with reasonably good sound. Can anybody recommend anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramesees Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm after some good wireless / Bluetooth headphones (more a headset really with microphone) that I can use with my PC and also mobile devices. I've looked at the Sony mdr-1rbt and the Turtle beach z300, but other suggestions are welcome. Any ideas on this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoegazers Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 This site sources the best set of headphones for a particular use and at a particular price. It is still in beta, so the data isn't totally complete. Might be worth checking a second source before pulling out your credit card, but it's a good starting point. http://www.acqurate.com/54e676c816a38ae75e3129b4/guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
