Audiophile here, as much as I love my hd600s I will always recommend people start with something like Samson sr850 headphones because as cool as great audio is it's a massive pit of diminishing returns and most people can't even hear what they are considering spending hundreds of dollars on.

i had the same issue with consumer headphones hyping bass and highs. for cheap flat response, the Audio-Technica ATH-M30x are solid around $70. if that's still too much, Samson SR850 run $50 and get surprisingly close. the OneOdio Pro-10 is another budget pick around $60. none are perfectly flat but

As pessoas precisam aprender a comprar fones de ouvido, esse monte de lixo eletrônico só por que tem luzinha disk é gamer e no fundo a qualidade de som da grande maioria é pobre. Tenho um Samson sr850 e mesmo sendo semi aberto ainda é melhor que muito fone caro, uso um th-m20x da áudio technica pra

Your headphones are heavily tuned for a "listening experience" aimed towards people who love bass! more than anything else. That might even fit your own preferences, but it's not a good way to judge your music. I'm told the Samson SR850 headphones punch way above their cost, but that's just what the

Industry bog standard are the Sony MDR 7506's. They are tuned to have a particularly flat response specifically for monitoring/editing, run about $125 USD. Big caveat, if you aren't used to using flat/reference phones, they will sound weird to your ears at first. It's a bit of a learning curve. Pers

En audifonos trata de evitar las marcas gamer, los precios tienden a estar super inflados para lo que realmente ofrecen (es lo opuesto a los mouse). Si quieres gastar abajo de 20-30 lucas, te recomiendo comprarte audífonos que sean in-ear (los pequeños) en vez de cascos (los grandes), ya que la cali

Dá uma olhada no Samson SR850. É um fone de estúdio, aberto. Bem legal. Uso e tenho um lacrado pra vender, se interessar. Bem abaixo dos R$500.

Honestly man. If you don't want to go separate headphone/mic route, another set of cloud 3s is the play for hunt and anything you need to catch footsteps with. The 3s catch alot of shit for not having the bloated bass but it really helps with picking out movement. Ill mention here for others that mi

Check our this video by DankPods, it's a bunch of recommendations of affordable audio gear that's meant as a first sniff of how things can sound if you move up one step from whatever came with your phone, as well as good explanations and comparisons to understand the difference. The Samson SR850 has
