Best Over Ear EDC Headphones
Best Over Ear EDC Headphones Posted on: 27.05.2013 by Wilton Keuning Hey all! I am on the prowl for some new everyday carry headphones.I am looking very specifically for OVER EAR headphones for this application as I will have them on for long periods of time. I will use them for mainly music listening to. I listen to mainly Electrohouse and things of that nature, I will do some gaming on them but not a whole lot. I have a large Irish Melon for a head so they either need to be flexible or big to start with. I currently use Razer Orcas and they are LOVELY. Very comfortable, good sound, but alas after 2 years of honorable service are giving up on me. And lastly I need them to have a removable cable and my budget is around 200$ CAD. Summery:
EDIT: Please make sure they are available from a Canadian site. Such sites are: avshop.ca, tomleemusic.ca, amazon.ca, etc. | |

Even if you are buying online, I'd say actually try them first, there must be some kind of bricks and mortar hifi / dj / headphone shop within a bus or car journey ? People Rave about TMA's I found them really horrible, people rave about Vmoda's I found them really comfortable but lacking in frequencies I'm used to, people rave about HD25's, I like them but find they clamp too hard for long periods, people rave about HDJ2000's I find them too big etc .. etc ... |

Darrick Kroah 04.06.2013 | I'd go for the HD25s. They're good for everything and balanced enough for monitoring as well. |
Wilton Keuning 28.05.2013 | I already have the TMA Studios for.. well in the studio (Music making, video editing, etc) when I can't have my monitors on like later at evening
. I have the Westone UM2's for DJ'ing. Now I just need a set of EDC cans and I'm believeing I'll go with the V-Moda LP2's as I am ordering today. Worst come to worst, I get them, hate them, return them, and buy something else. It isn't the world's end. |

Alphonso Deitchman 28.05.2013 | There is an over-ear version of the TMA-1 too called Studio. |

Samuel Stamaria 27.05.2013 | Senn HD 25s, for everything |
Arnulfo Morten 27.05.2013 | go with the Pioneer HDJ-2000 you can find them for around $230 USD great quality and everything your looking for |

The bass is definitely "colored", but I use them for exactly what you described above. Oh, and they are cheaper... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...ords=v+moda+lp |
Wilton Keuning 27.05.2013 | As in these guys? V-Moda Crossfade LP2 |
Nga Mcquarter 27.05.2013 | V-Moda Crossfade LP2, they look awesome and they're very flexible and customisable |
