Torn between two headphones
Posted on: 26.05.2013 by Lanie Priske
I have been looking into getting a new pair of headphones and i believe i have finally narrowed her down. Im looking at sol republic tracks HD or Beats by Dre Mixr. the sol republics are $150 and the mixrs are $250. Please leave any advice about which one you would choose and recommend others if you can believe of anything else. Im on a budget of $250 by the way. All responses are appreciated.

Senns are good, tma-1s are good, basically anything mentioned above will work great. The reason beats aren't good, aside from the douche appeal, the bass it too much, and it makes for difficult mixing. That, and they are waaayyyy over priced.

Also, if you need a VERY cheap pair of backup headphones which also happen to be pretty decent, look at the Sony MDR-V150 and MDR-ZX300, both of which are pretty damn good and only

27.05.2013		i personally wouldn't buy a pair of any beats at their current price point. i've listened to all of them, including the pros and they just aren't cutting it at $400. you can get much better headphones for that money. if they were below $200 for the pros, that would level out the quality to value ratio a bit more.

i believe my ath-50s sound just as good as beats pros, maybe better (i would have to give a recent listen and side by side them). i got the audio technicas for $75 with some awesome guitar center price matching.

i'm actually believeing about getting a pair of beyerdynamic dt770s. those cans are easily the most comfy headphones i've ever worn. seriously, it's like pillows on your ears and the cans are soooo big they don't even touch my ears. they also sound great to me. i love my ath-50s but i have to take breaks when listening to music as they tend to make my ears hurt after about an hour and i get some fatigue from them. they are also a bit tight on my head, but for $75, that was a steal too good to pass up.

after all that, it's ideal to go try on all the pairs you can find and have a listen to some of your favorite tunes. comfort and sound are subjective so your ears will know best.

27.05.2013		Why thank you sir. I too went into it with certain misgivings about the Beats brand. But the Beats Pros are a world away from the original Monster creations.

26.05.2013		Which headphones have you actually listened too? Sound can be more subjective that religion at times and you have to buy the right headphones for your ears. Sennheiser would be my choice, but I wouldn't look past Beats, if that's what you want, get them, they're not as bad as what every internet elitest makes out. They've just rubbed people the wrong way from the morons who have worn them in the past.

26.05.2013		The HD 25s are significantly cheaper than the Beats over here, and the TMA-1s are significantly cheaper over in the US.
