Need advice on earphones (8 Viewers)

Budget?

You should spring for these if you can

I don't feel like using more than 500 kr, to be honest.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Majority of my knowledge and experience is with sennheisers. Honestly you might aswell get any pair for about 300 if you're not going to spend 700ish. Thats the first step up in quality, the minimum being the ones I have, hd 558 (100dollars on amazon)

What you think of hd 429s?

 

[ZoSo]

Nope, atm I'm using the shitty handset that followed with my galaxy I stopped caring about in ears years ago. Investing in my home stereo seems much more rewarding.

Check out the link I posted to Völler @ZoSo . This is how it looks when you fire them up

Same, but that's why I use those, because they're super cheap (like $10) and sound really decent.

I saw, that's just ridiculous

I had a pair of 449s and they were decent enough but I upgraded to 598s this year and they are far better. I gave my old ones to my sister because the difference is so much that I have no use for them any more.

Next time give me your old ones.

Its a pretty bad set of headphones. You spend 400 on them and you still dont get instrument separation for instance. Iirc they have a good bass frequency, but all the same its a waste of money to spend that much, when entry level denon or sennheisers give you just about the same for half-ish the price.

only if you ask nicely

That's not the answer I was looking for!
I assume HD 461G sucks too?

Dont know those, but I can see that they're 90$ on the internet. Why not spend 10 bucks more and get the HD 558? I can vouch for those

I'm checking prices on Sennheiser's own website. Buying them on Amazon.com sucks. First of all, delivery is a expensive. Second of all, since it's more expensive than bagatelgrænsen, you're going to pay told og moms if they're caught in delivery. Actually, scratch that. Amazon.com doesn't even deliver these headphones to Denmark. On Amazon.co.uk and Sennheiser's website, HD 558 are twice as expensive as HD 461G.

Yeah, I can ser that theyre about 1.000 in Denmark. Dont know what to tell you, quality costs and theyre still cheap compared to what you get.

Yeah, 1124 kr (including delivery) is the cheapest I can find. Guess I'll have to think about it for a second.

Let me know where you land.

Last thing I can add to this is that all non-essential parts are replacable on them. So as long the wiring inside the headphones are intact repairs are pretty cheap. Not that I think you're going to need it, as I've had mine for three years and despite rough handling they look and feel pristine.

Have you tried the 598s?

 

[Nzoric]

I wanna spring for the HD 600's, with all this headphone talk. jeez

Have you tried the 598s?

I've tried them, yeah. Didn't think it was worth the money upgrading from the 558's to that, despite it being a clearly better headphone. HD 600 is where the magic is at, imo that is the maximum you could ever need if it's just for enjoying music.

Added to cart

may as well get the 800s

When I got my HD598s they were on sale and I think they were actually cheaper than the 558s

Don't tempt me. I considered it for a brief moment

 

[ZoSo]

@Nzoric did you buy the 600s?

 

[Siamak]
