    Please no overrated beats. Btw, this has got to be the first Tinman thread not about Rocket's History or Mcgrady. A sign of hope?

    Bose has noise canceling headphones.
    If tmac endorsed a headphone , it would have team canceling abilities and would costs a lot .

    They would call the brand Beatten.

    Sennheiser

    Audio-Technica

    There are a handful of other headphones that are worth the price.

    Beats by Dre, Bose, Skullcandy, are not in that group.

    I don't ever want to hear someone say that Bose headphones are good at music. They are good at noise canceling though.

    Why is this in the GARM?

    You don't need to spend more than $100 to get a good pair of headphones.

    Cos its Freaky Friday and I just posted an essay on Head-fi.org pertaining to potential Asik destinations. All everybody there could say was:
    1. "Jordan's really good, right?"
    2. 'Who's that one with AIDS?"
    3. 'Didn't some NBA player come out of the closet recently?"

    So , in GARM, naturally, to balance the order in the universe, someone had to post about headphone suggestions.

    I have the Beyerdynamic Dt 1350, Sennheiser HD 600 and the Audio Technica ATH M50 which sells for less than $100 right now which is a great bargain.

    I have never tried the beats besides the SOLO HD's and tho they weren't as bad as people claim they are and they do look awesome so I understand why people gravitate to them:). The new studios look amazing:)

    But if affordable sound quality is your priority you can't go wrong with the Sennies HD 600 for around $300.

    How are the Senn HD 25?? I may want to get them.

    As someone who used to DJ for 10+ years during and after college and still does some gigs every once in awhile, Beats & Skullcandy are garbage.

    Right now the prices for Beats are getting to the point to where they are almost up there with Pioneer so why not get Pioneer???.... Fashion I guess.

    Pioneer HDJ's are the way to go. (1500's are usually under 150). Those are the best headphones in the world right now,and are almost the same cost as Beats. The removable cable is a gamechanger for DJ's and people that want to be a little rough on their headphones.

    However if you are getting Beats because of the bass your bass is actually better with Ear buds anyways. I recommend Sony EX Ear Buds. I think they have a nice sound for cheap ear buds with a ton of bass. Good for working out or whatever else.

    Skullcandy & Beats... garbage sound, durability, & quality. Just know your getting those to "Look Cool".
