Headphone Suggestions - Subway Specials

[brooklynlou]

Greetings all.

Need suggestions for new headphones to look into with the following criteria.

- Under $80

- Decent sound

- Decent construction, ie. able to take some in bag abuse

- Closed design

- Not insanely large

I'm a big fan of Grado's and use them at home, but the open design doesnt work well in a loud train. In ear plugs, though light, tend to die the good death in my bag.

Cheers - Thanks in advance

I recommend regular prostate exams past the age of 35.

yo fools in Brooklyn it's all about pearl while Dre's , you'll get punked on the Subway but you'll look great on the A-train until you get to East New York

Oh, that kind of subway, I thought he meant the sandwich shop. I didn't thinking chewing and JH16's go well together, though I will admit to having no experience in the area.

Used Sennheiser HD-25-1

It's closed, medium-sized, has decent isolation, is tough and should be able to take a lot of abuse carried in a backpack. Change the cable, a reterminated HD650 cable is good. Velour earpads are a nice option.

this is the worst suggestion ever nothing short of the JH 16s will do on the subway or the previously mentioned Dre Beats

This has succeeded in getting me to try a subway breakfast sandwich, yum.

Ugh, used headphones.

Don't say I never gave you anything; Monster Employee Discounts:

Holiday Savings on Mounts, HDMI Cables, Screen Clean & other Bundles

Get the beats solo HD. Or if your a baller, the studio.

The vintage Pioneer Monitor 10 will fit like a glove. It's large, but I wouldn't say insanely large. Not like a Sennheiser H

[manaox2]

I didn't get a chance to hear the monitor 10 in Tampa. Anybody get some time with it re-terminated?

[aardvark baguette]

I was watching football this past Sunday, and they showed the players getting off the bus before the game. Almost all of them had Dre Beats.

These guys can afford to buy anything, so you know there is nothing better available.

Thanks manaox,

I got a pair of turbines for the gf. She's been wanting a pair of IEMs to go with her Studios.

It's already been established that I may be a very sick person. But this made me laugh.
