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.

...Generally speaking, Beats are aimed at the commercial market - and they sound horrible. For $250, Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, Allen & Heath, hell even Pioneer make higher quality headphones that won't really break your bank. Throw your ears on a few, chances are you'll find something you like within those brands. Let us know how you make out.

Please do not get Beats. You have a solid budget, try some AnH or sennheisers or Pios.

But seriously, please don't buy Beats. I saw a review that rated a $50 pair of Sony's higher than the top Beats model.
I heartily second this. Beats sound awful, and, while a bit better, SOL Republic headphones are also a "style over substance" brand. A pair of Audio-Technical ATH-M50s sound excellent and also offer a 38 OHMs version that won't require a dedicated headphone amp, either. At your budget, you would be best served looking at the low-mid range of Sennheiser HD headphones (each one has its own sound characteristic, so look them up), AKG, or Audio-Technica.

With 250 you could get a pair of IEMs custom molded for your ears, or a higher end pair of regular IEM or headphones

Neither. Anyone mentioning "Beats" on here typically gets a massive laugh out of everyone else on the community .

Sennheiser, Sony, Reloop, Audio Technica, all decent brands that aren't overpriced wank like Beats.

Either of the above. I have the Sennheiser HD25's, and the Allen & Heath XD2-53's. Both are excellent.

Was going to get the AIAIAI's too, but figured 3 sets of great headphones would be too much.

I'm not familiar with the Sol Republic brand, but most here would advise you against buying any Monster products. If you are going to spend upwards of $250 on headphones, i would take some of these suggestions to heart.
