Over the years, my audio taste became a little snobbier in terms of quality of the music I listen to. The more bit rate, the better.
Because of that I also became a little more demanding on the hardware that I use, I don't call myself an audiophile (yet) as I'm not that paranoid with the clarity, depth, balance and other fancy words that audiophiles have; I am however, past the phase of just using any pair of headphones, specially the ones that come with any iPod.

With that said, here is what I use right now:

Studio Headphones, Beats by Dre

I know, I know, there are a lot of haters of the brand they call them overpriced and too mainstream; I can only say that I bought these refurbished for half the price and they sound better than what I can afford for the same price.

So how about you? Do you have any preferred cans or earphones? Show us yours!

Edit: grammar

It's fairly cheap (you can probably get it under $20) and the quality is alright, I guess (I don't really care much for quality, so I don't really know...), but above all, these are highly comfortable. It never leaves my ears hurting after prolonged use, which is all I really cared for.

Beyerdynamic DTX 800

Had them since December 2008 (something of a record for me) although I did just have to redo the plug end after a fat man broke them on the plane- forgot how annoying it is to solder enamel coated wire (I cheated and stuck them in the flame from the cooker- also forgot how quick enamel burns).
I have never been happy with paying the silly money for headphones but I am certainly with VVoltz on the point of not using any old piece of junk.

They work well although as I do not like the noise cancelling ones it seems these do just as good a job of being speakers for everybody around me and the 3m of cable seems a tad excessive although it is nice to be able to slide around on the chair a bit. My only real problem is I can not wear them with a hat (my ears are too oddly shaped to handle in ear headphones) but as I do not listen to things when out and about I am OK with that.

Bring on ultrasonic speakers.

At the moment I am using a set of fairly generic Senheisser in hear headphones - I find if I spend a lot on high end headphones they just break down faster :/

Sony MDR-EX700 - second pair, annoyingly I lost the first pair while running from my car to my house in a ridiculous amount of rain, went back out to look for them when i noticed but they had been washed away :-(

I normally use them in conjunction with this so i'm not tied to my laptop/computer/TV:

(Sony Ericsson MW600)

I also have these but don't use them often as after a couple of hours they start to feel uncomfortable as they press my glasses into the side of my head:

EDIT: Replaced massively oversized picture with smaller one.

Sennheiser HD 25-1 II's. I considered the ATH-M50's but these seemed like a better option for both SQ and portability. I never thought i'd ever spent over £100 on headphones....

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
