Re: contest: who here has the best headphones?

Problem with all these big headphones is that you look like a muppet wearing them...

I have the Sennheiser PC160. No win but good sound.

Specs sound good, if you get them let us now how they are :) Technics are usually a safe bet.

I bought a set of Razer Carcharias a while back. sounds good, very comfy and circumaural, which i prefer.

Re: contest: who here has the best headphones?

wow i got these pc350s and tried them out and.....

they suck dik. totally srs. do not like how they sound.

oh no no no wait i jumped the gun a bit. if you get these make sure they are tight, the difference is pretty big if they are not tight on your head

Re: contest: who here has the best headphones?

but the whole problem is that they care too much about your head being comfortable there is too much padding and the speakers are too far away from your ears so you dont hear the deeper noises and bass and stuff, maybe it depends on the shape of your head but idk. i think im just going to take some of the padding off but idk

eh honestly i think i should have just bought a soundcard and i would have been good. i dont know how to return these or even if i am able. ugh. idk whatever ill just see what i can do with this

Re: contest: who here has the best headphones?

Just play with the EQ, I had to before my HD555's sounded good.

Re: contest: who here has the best headphones?

lol cats pictures fail!

What is it about the sound you dont like?

As alex menioned it might be worth playing with the EQ, give them a bit of a 'mid-scoop' to lower the less pleasant frequencies and bring out the bass :)

although some disagree with the therory i find that headphones/speakers take a bit o wear for the cones to really sound their best. My DT770s where a little harsh on mid frequencies when i got them but they have softened off a bit now and the top end has come out a bit. Similar to my speakers, i had 2 tannoy mercury F1 bookshelfs for 2 years and i recently bought a new set (for rear surrounds)which sounded pretty nasty in comparison... still waiting for them to break in.

Basically what im saying is (seeing as you have no choice but to put up with them) give them a few weeks, either you may get a acustomed to the different sound ir the sound itself might actually improve a little bit with wear.

Re: contest: who here has the best headphones?

I have some Sennheiser HD 465, which are nice, although I never game with them as I hate playing with headphones on.

Those things must be fricking massive :o Are they not really heavy with all those drivers and electronics built into the earphones?

EQ? what is that again?

also another odd circumstance is that yes the directional sound is very good and shows distance well but then a bad side effect of that is i explode my eardrums with the sound of my own gun because it is close. i dont feel this works out very well.
