How can you call yourself a music "nerd" and have a girlfriend?!

One unexpected feature of these headphones is that they make mbdtf sound 40% worse for some reason

"Y'all know these are just my headphones, right?"

studio monitors taped to my head

We all know that when he says “girlfriend“ he actually means Cal Chuchesta

Leather? Did you buy these before going vegan? XD

wait. he's sitting on a chair? 30th needledrop video and I'm figuring that out just now -.-

Wow I was honestly expecting sennheiser hd800's or something... He's awfully modest

*sees Anthony mention girlfriend* *thinks "the first comment is going to be about him having a girlfriend* *scrolls down* *is right*

I'm shocked that people go out and buy Beats when you can get a pair of Sony, Sennheiser, AKG or Audio-Technica studio monitors for $50-100 I got Sony MDR-V6 studio monitors for $65 and they sound better than any pair of Beats Monster or Skull Candy headphones.

You should make an updated one of these! Unless things haven't really changed lol.

I USE BEATS BY DRE BECUSE OF MY $UPA SWAG

My headphones They saved my life....

I need to get earphones

I love those K240's. I like that the sound and bass frequencies kind of breathe, like they would on a stereo, but I can also hear what's going on around me when I use them outside of the house. I got a shorter 3 ft. cable off amazon and they are now my go-to dog walking headphones for when I'm listening to new albums.

Sennheiser hd 600 (before these I used hd 558)

My Opinion for beginners: (All Under 200) 1. Audio Tecnica ATH-M50X (great closed back headphones with a little more bass but not over powering) 2. Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO (Also a great pair of closed back headphones, flat signal 3. AKG K7XX (open back headphones will leak sound but very cool listening experience. Flat Signal Best deal on Massdrop.) 4. Grado SR80e (open back headphones that won't break the bank only 99 dollars. Great choice.) Stay away from beats by dre because they don't provide a good listening experience. The low end is turned way up and highs and mids are hard to make out. Bose headphones are not bad however you pay a high price for the name as well. Hope this helps.

came back to listen to listen to the review on the headphones. I'm very happy with them thanks for the rec

Because of you, Anthony, about 4 months ago I got the AKG k240s....they are SOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much

Grados are my all time faves. The Sr80's are a great value!

I have Superlux HD668Bs they sound amazing. I could surely get some better ones someday, but for now these are amazing for their price.

I have a pair of V-Moda Crossfade LP2 headphones that have lasted me for the past 7 years and I'm super happy with them. They actually have a lot of the same features as Anthony's, sturdy frame, detachable cord, replacable earpads, etc. I also just really love the style of them, they are also very light and I could sit around listening to music with them for hours.

For anyone wondering, the Koss PortaPro's mentioned in the video are fantastic. The hardware is extremely durable and ergonomic, and fits snug as fuck on your head without applying uncomfortable pressure. I can literally do sit ups, push ups, jog, etc. without feeling even the slightest nags or slips. Sound wise, they are probably the best for the price, and are a _huge_ step up from any sort of earbud or beats by dre. The bass is comparatively heavy and rich, while balancing perfectly the other sounds (ie. not just overblown, distracting bass). They are likely the best workout headphones; in regards to both efficacy and sound quality. They are the most practical headphone for traveling, whether it be on public transit, foot, etc., as while they are far from the best sounding headphone, it would be uncomfortable and slightly embarrassing to walk around wearing a massive set of cans. For those of you worried about the style, I, as quite a stylish individual have had no issues wearing these, especially since street style is increasingly retro. If you are hesitant to drop an extra $50 on some higher quality headphones, these should be a happy medium, as they will not will they noticeably improve your home listening experience, but will also double as knock around/-workout cans as well.

I got a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50s about a year ago and I love them. Great sound quality, comfortable, durable, great looking and they fold up for portability, plus I like the coiled cable. When they eventually wear out I might upgrade to the new version with the removable cable.

It's not all about the bass and the clarity, the mid range is also very important imo! It took me a while to find some headphones that had everything plus good mid range. That's where the true life of the track is, in my opinion. (:

These AKG K240s are absolutely FANTASTIC! Thanks for the recommendation, Anthony!

I got a pair of the AIAIAI TMA-1 Young Guru edition cans about 5 months ago and they are fantastic. They instantly had me hearing things in songs I had loved for years that I had never heard before. Amazing detail

I've been using my Sennheiser HD 280 Pro 64Ω for almost 10 YEARS. I think they are around $100. Durable, high quality, over the ear, I highly recommend them.

Beyerdynamic DT770s 250 Ohms :) love them so much! My beaters are a pair of Monoprice earbuds I copped for 7 bucks!

I have the AKG K240 MKII's coming in the mail tomorrow. Can't wait to try them out. Hopefully I will be looking in to headphone amps afterwards.

I use both the akg k240 mark 2 and the akg k701, both are amazing, and I'm glad to see that other people like them as well.

I'm using some cheap iLive Bluetooth headphones. Forgot how much they were, my parents bought them for me as a gift. They broke after like 8 months, but luckily, tape fixed that and I have to replace the tape here and there, but they still function. Sadly, they hurt my ears after wearing them for too long. I would suggest getting something else

damn i remember using my christmas money in 2013 to buy a pair of AKG 240s when i saw this. those headphones are right behind me right now, good as new. theyve traveled with me and have gotten pretty beaten and you wouldn't even really notice. phenomenal pair of headphones.

I grabbed some Sennheiser Urbanites about a year ago and have been using them since. I love them. They aren't overbearing with their bass and the clarity is pretty impeccable.

Music listening cans: Audio-Technica ESW9. My favorite pair of headphones ever. Smooth Lows, detailed Mids and Highs (without then beeing too shimmery or fake sounding). All the minute details and "Ear candies" can be heard here. Designed to be portable but would not recommend travelling with them as they make your ears get hot fast. Casual listening/gaming/homework cans: V-Moda M-100. Very fun to listen on. Passive noise cancellation, big Lows, a considerable step up from the Beats Studios in the same price range. Highs sound a little false and the mids sound a tad scooped, but again not to the same extent as it's competitor. Also the damn thing is built like a tank. Very portable folding design.

I got a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50x. I can't even use other headphones anymore man they are too good.

V Moda M100 crossfades

I just got the AKG K240s for my birthday today. Thanks for the recommendation, I love them so much.

I have the Koss Portapros as well. The ATH-M50s are pretty much my go to headphones though, don't ever regret getting those.

So on what do you listen music? On ipod, phone, mp3 player, hi-res dap?

Will these headphones allow me to make sense of why you gave To Be Kind a strong confirmed 10?

I've had and used my Sennheiser HD 25-1 IIs for about six years now as well and I have no real plans of stopping. Notorious for their treble, anyone who's used them (many people have) can attest to them being great for electronic music and rock music. I like that they're lightweight and very durable. A bit pricier than the AKG 240s, but they also come with more clarity at 80 Ohms. I have thought about high ear buds but I also do not like how they feel. Another nice thing about my HD 25s is in the Wintertime they function as earmuffs as well.

I got the Yamaha HPH-MT7 monitor headphones. Ultimate clarity for mixing and music production but also playback. Its like having a couple NS10's strapped to your head

This shows how much he loves music when he makes a 9 minute video about headphones

Surprised not to see Sony MDR 7506's. An industry standard with super precise reproduction. The cord is waaaay long and doesn't detach, and the pads wear out with use. Otherwise, unbeatable for me - even over multiple hours.

My choice has been the same for 4 years. Orange (discontinued) Beats Studio Mk 1by Dre. 4 years of heavy use, a crack bridge, wrinkly leather cups, and a fucked up cord... still fantastic sound and batteries last about 3ish weeks.

I have the V-Moda Crossfade LP's and they are great. They have a good bass response, they are very clear sound-wise and they are really cool looking and comfortable. The neat thing about them is that you can replace the metal "Shields" that are on the headphones and you can customize your own shields on the website yourself. You are also able to replace the ear cushions to regular size ear cups, but they also have a larger size ear cup for more comfort.

Audio Techinca M50's. They're made for giving you the most raw studio sound as possible. Theyre amazing!

You should try the apple beats the most expensive item in the world

I just found your videos on KZfaq and might I say you are very at times. Other times you give some very interesting/useful points on some good music things. So I give your channel a 10 out of 10 :)

I have Beats Studio that I bought 3 years ago and I have to say that I don't regret the money I spent on them. I listen to a lot of Metal, Rap and Pop and I love it when the sound is clear and with big bass! I have all my music on my phone too so I use the Neutron application on Android. I can then change the settings on the phone + the sound of the Beats = Just fabulous!

They're definitely plebian headphones, but I have a pair of Skullcandy Aviator 2.0's. Mainly because I got them for nearly half price. The sound is pretty much perfect in my honest opinion. Bass vibrates your ears just right, high sparkly notes reverberate nicely and they don't lose detail. They're also portable enough for me to throw in a big and having them around my neck works pretty well. Oh and they have a replaceable jack. I use them plugged into my hi-fi and with my phone and they're definitely good enough that I can tell that my hi-fi sounds 100x better than my phone so that's good. They fold and go into a nice little leather bag too if you need a bit of portability. Only problems is that one of the ear cushions on mine came out a little warped but it's fine as it feels comfortable, and those said leather ear cushions definitely make your ears sweat on hot days. Also the lining came off the band after about 6 months, but the rest of the unit works perfectly, hell even the wire works fine. If you can get them for super cheap like I did (because they cost about 100 quid, idk what that is in dollars) then check them out.

I'm currently using a pair of audio technica ath m50x's, and I think they sound great. There's a good amount of bass, with plenty of clarity too, they also have pretty good noise isolation. These headphones may be a little pricey, but I'd say it's definitely worth the money.

dude totally! i have a couple pairs of other brands but for for mixing or just plain listnening, it doesn't get any better.

My headphones are the Shure SRH240A. It has a lot of clarity and overall the sound is very well balanced. However, I find the cable unnecessarily long, so I had to use a rubber band and tie the wires together to reduce the length of the cable while also decreasing the inconvenience it causes.

DT 990s

2:42 That witch doctor reference tho

I use a pair of Sony MDR-CD333 headphones from 1989. There's absolutely NO leather left on the foam, but they still function exceptionally well after all these years, and I've used them regularly for about 6 years after finding them in my dad's record cabinet.

I had Bose on ear headphones for 5 years and they were great! I recently got new Bose QuietComfort Noise Canceling headphones that are around ear and I love them!

sony mdr 7506 is absolutely the best

Well its been a year since i last commented here and now im packing Audeze LCD2's, Hifiman 400i's, ATH-AD900X, Senn Momentum Wireless and im currently modding my Grados. Jesus the jump i made was insane

I bought my pair of K240s 3 years ago now because of this video and I'm still using the same pair. They're honestly one of the best purchases I have ever made.

I have porta pros which I've been using 8/10 hours a day for the last couple of years and I couldn't recommend them more to anyone. I didn't have the problem with the foams that he mentions (I still use my original foam) but one downside of them is that since they don't isolate the sound, they are not the best to be used in loudy places.

Dude. Grado headphones for life. Nuff said

I'm a big fan of the Sennheiser Momentums.

I use Bose QC3 as headphones with noise reduction when on plane/train/ship At home for great listening, I use Grado RS1. Got those ones for almost 5 years now and I'm still amazed how they sound...

I'm listening to this review on my AKG K240s right now. Feels good man.

Current - Audio Technica ATH-M50 Dream - Audio Technica ATH-M50x (removable cable)

"there are these headphones with an open back the claim to allegedly have a clearer sound" - *Music* Nerd

I'm currently using some HD600s and god do I miss them when I go out. I use RHA MA750i's when I'm out but you're right, they aren't nearly as good. That said, headphones are my preferred way to listen when I look for clarity. If I was in a bigger apartment or listening room in general, then my Monitor Audio Silver 6s with an SBS-2000 would be my go to listening setup. The electrifying sound is hard to give up unless I want that surgical clarity.

got the ath m50x's a little while back and am loving the heck out of them.

you dont listen on razer headphones?

AKG K550 and the "ergonomic" iPhone-buds. It doesn't get much better than AKG

Razer kraken pro from my gaming days. Super comfy and good sound, couldn't be happier

Sennheiser HD 212Pro, over ear, really comfy, really clean look, great sound, love em.

Do a 2020 version of this

Philips filedio x2

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 590 that feel exactly as you described. Feel like clouds on your head. You don't actually feel them at all even after hours of use. They were second hand and worn in and sound great but the mids are a bit muddy compared to the cheaper, weaker but more neutral sounding hd 201. A step up from this in quality are my dads' HD 595 which were quite expensive, but are very uncomfortable for my elephant ears. Open-type over-ear > ear buds or noise cancelling for me.

OH MY GOD YOU'VE BEEN SITTING IN YOUR VIDEOS THIS WHOLE TIME? I THOUGHT YOU WERE STANDING! I've been using the Sony MDR7506s. Thanks for the vids!

Beyerdynamic DT-990-Pro-250. That is all.

Sennheiser HD 600's

I got the Sol Republic Tracks on-ear V8 headphones about 8 months ago and these are the best I've used. They're still just as clear, loud, and produce the same sound quality as they did when I took them out of the box. The bass is clear even at the high's unlike the beats which is one oof the reason I chose these over beats. They're virtually indestructible in all honesty and the wire hasn't even given me a single problem yet which is impressive. I use them every day and their reliable and sound great.

I have owned two pairs of Grado S60i headphones. When I lost the first pair, I went right out and got an identical one - they're amazing and affordable. I also own a pair of Monster Cable Turbines, which is an in-ear model with amazing clarity and big, but surprisingly tight bass.

I really love my M50s

Ok cool but what *W A L L E T S* do you use?

Cool to see the specials album up there

I also have the AKG 240s which I use for listening to music, mixing music, watching movies. Just about everything actually. And I have a pair of AKG earbuds that came with the new Samsung note 8s. I only really use the earbuds if I'm not home.

beyerdynamic dt880's for me. -nods-

Maybe an Hd598 will be cheaper and sound equal...

This video came out right when I was looking around for a new pair of headphones, and I had already been looking into the AKGs. Took it as the stars aligning so I bought them immediately and I LOVE them. They are my babies. I also have loved and owned the Koss PortaPros. We are kindred spirits, Fantano.

I love my Senheisser HD 25 II headphones. Probably some of the best isolation you can get from an on ear can, very clear with good bass response (I feel like that's what's big now), and a great sound stage for a closed back headphone.

Grado Labs anyone?

I have no idea what brand of headphones I am using and I don't care because it doesn't matter and also I am poor

Since I started to really passionately listen to music and care about what I'm hearing I've always tried to use the Phillips ear buds. I started out with the "outies" and now I have the "innies" that provide so much more clarity and brings the base of each song to my attention much more, and I always try to get a funky color like purple, pink or yellow. I currently have yellow Phillips "Innie" ear buds and I love them.

I have AKG 240's also. They are really good headphones. Comfortable and decent bass response.

#planarmasterrace

ATH-M50x

ive owned those exact AKGs for a long time and i agree theyre great, my only problem is if you have them on for a few hours they get uncomfortable on your ears but thats a long time and im really comparing them with my incredibly comfortable headset

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 650's and a pair of Audiotechnica ANC7b's. I use the 650's exclusively inside because they are open and sound comes from the sides pretty loudly.

I usually like your reviews but I feel like you got really off track in this one. I couldn’t follow it at all, and you didn’t even give the album a rating at the end.
