Aha it was just in general to anyone who advocates Sennheisers. They must be on their last days haha, any day now

I reckon my pair will last longer :L

Only because I never bring them outside my house, as I only use them if people are asleep, or I am playing keyboard or something.

Speaking from an audio engineers point of view, Sennheiser do produce brilliant headphones (when you pay a premium for them, the cheaper ones are ok but you get what you pay for).

Obviously, there are other headphones that are on par, however, using a price : build quality : sound quality ratio, the best headphones which are commonly used by music producers in studios around the world are the Sennheiser HD-25 II (http://www.sennheiser.co.uk/uk/home_...dphones_502188). The headphones cover all frequencies (16hz+ which includes the lowest basses) and provide a clear, crisp and all important flat sound (no EQ). (Also, the availability of parts for the headphones is a plus - each part is detachable and replaceable).

Obviously, they are not gaming headphones, but I thought I would give a neutral perspective on headphones in general.

You can save a lot of money in a number of small places. E.g. buy the OS from here http://www.software4students.co.uk/W...-software.aspx

Because you know me? Lets me be honest here, everyone has an opinion about things - and from what I have heard from them they are absolutely fine, and good headphones (especially for the price many of them are available at.)

What exactly is 'dull music' to you?

Dull music: Flat pop.

I don't need to know you, I do however know that because you're calling Sennheiser better that you haven't used decent headphones.

Love how you ignored Jahovas post.

Love how you ignored Jahovas post.

I would also like to highlight that the following sentence: "Obviously, there are other headphones that are on par," should be: "Obviously, there are other headphones that are on par, or are even better"

Three words: Skullcandy and Beats.

Your point is now invalid.

Well, actually in those cases the money isn't spent on the sound quality, it's spent on dressing them up.

I love how the entire thread has turned to the most non-essential item on the list.

Slightly frustrating that it's the only thing that people care about... Could people stop talking about the headphones because they weren't really up for discussion in the first place.
