I am looking for a nice set of headphones something that has good sounds quality and good bass response. I looked at some from Sennheiser, Skullcandy, Sony, Bose. but i am having trouble deciding on the best one. give me your input. If you have headphones from these companies let me know what you think of them. I have a set of skullcandy lowrider headphones and they are awesome but i am looking for something better. I looked at the Skullcandy GI headphones but i do not know how good they sound for the price. I know Bose is probably the best choice out of all of them as far as sound is but they also carry the largest price tag.

I have Ultimate Ear headphones and I think they're really good. They're certainly better than anything else I've used.

With music, price doesn't really correlate with sound quality. I'd suggest you look into reviews and music forums to find some reliable information. That's how my boyfriend found those UE ones for me (they were a present).

I just posted a thread on this a week ago. I went for the Sennheiser HD555's. Not a single bad review on them from Play.com and trying them out last night they work much better than I thought.

How is the bass response on these. Im looking for a good set of headphones that has a good all around sound i dont want anything with too much treble and not enough bass or ones with too much bass and not enough treble. How do you like the HD555's?

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD500's, afaik they have been discontinued but for in case you still wanted a opinion I think they are really nice with a good balance between bass and treble with not to much or to little. I prefer these over a few pairs of Bose I've used.

Sennheiser CX 95s if you're looking for in-ear canal phones, good all round response and there were some ridiculous deals when I got them, although even normal RRP is below $150

Although he didn't say he only wanted headphones he may just and not be interested in in-ear buds. If you are interested in in-ear buds I would go for Shure over all else.

I use Sony's MDRV700 headphones. I use them for monitoring when i am DJ'ing and that is exactly what they are designed for, but i have noticed a lot of people just wearing them as everyday headphones around town.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
