Great vedio
There’s only one way to listen to music and that’s loud real loud. But I don’t want to interfere with other people. And I don’t want to hear other peoples noises. You know block out the world .What type of headphones do you recommend ? Thank you very much I need to know .😎
I have recently purchased Philips 9600 over ear headphones. When simply listening to music at home either from my mobile phone or CD player I always remove my spectacles. Doing so helps to create a better seal over my ears which in turn can aid bass frequency appreciation. The Philips 9600 is supremely comfortable with big enough pads to fit over the largest of ears. It's an open back design so sound does leak out but I would venture to suggest that such leakage is unlikely to seriously disturb someone close by unless the wearer has cranked up the volume to a point where he/she is in danger of causing themselves permanent hearing damage such as the avoid at all costs condition…tinnitus. 85db continuous for more than 15 minutes has the potential to damage a person's hearing.
Just wanted to add this important point to your excellent video. Dave.
I'm trying to find a headphone good for music with impressive bass that has a punch and clear neutral sound unlike my Hyper X Alpha S which just sounds extremely compressed and equalized and with 7.1 just sounds clear but messy and still equalized with no bass
My sony mdr zx110 has 24 ohms with a sensitivity of 100dbs is performing quieter than my cheaper earphones that i have used and i also found out that my cheaper earphones sounds more louder and even more better than that $20 headphones that I have bought, do u have any suggestions?
2:39 Lol! Ppl knew that iphone will ditch 3.5mm in 2016
Thank you!
I prefer over ear headphones theyre comfortable and sound nice
Hi, I found your video very helpful, I have one question, which of these headphones do you find more comfortable using with your glasses on? I'm looking for a new headphone because mine makes my ears hurt after using them for certain period of time. I have an over ear JBL headphone.
Nice ape in the back, lad

I want to find good headphones 🎧 so I can study such good noise cancelling headphones.
I have a Bose QC 35 2.Very good.Now i want a set of open back for listening at home at night.
What about Seinheiser 600 or 650.Are they good?Thank you for this video.
I was sort of OK until it came to impedance and sensitivity.
'High impedance headphones are more sensitive' – Really?!?!
and
'High impedance headphones offer an improved level of detail' – Debatable.
I’ve found some ear buds to sound great but they all hurt like crazy.
On ears suck the most.
In ears are gREAAAT wtf man
Beautifully explained
Fuck off you know nothing
Thank you, I am just in the process of choosing the right earphones for me and I found your video very useful. If it helps, I would have loved to learn if there are ways to determine the 3 factors you talked about at the end of the video i.e. "comfy, good sound & passive noise isolation" PRIOR to purchase. A lot of retailers (especially on sites like Amazon and Ebay) state that their headphones have all the best features regardless of the price (which is obviously impossible), so I was wondering if there are ways to determine:
– the comfort (ok, this can be done visually more or less)
– sound quality (is there a way to determine any sound attributes from the description? i.e. bass/ high/ low sound, sound quality etc)
– noise isolation (a lot of review(-ers)s complain that some ANCs are barely noticeable in action)
I realise that I will most likely buy a set of headphones without knowing the answers to any of these, but perhaps these questions will help someone else, if you decide to make another video for these 🙂
what model of headphones should i buy to use with a guitar amp? im looking for a "flat" sound to use the eq knobs of the amp
I have a wireless headphone which has audio delay only while gaming otherwise it is perfectly awesome
You are so handsome.
Ok
don´t listen to this guy..He doesn't know anything about headphones!
I prefer wired. While bluetooth has come a long way, it doesn't sound nearly as good as wired.
Great video
Is this sponsored by Apple?
This guy seems to be under the impression that all phones are called are iPhones
What do you look for whenever you buy yourself new headphones?
grateful for the info… but more importantly, whose mans is this ???
Easy sony mdr 1000x m2
If you like lofi for a high price than get beats. If you want hifi for a lowish price than get some Audio Technica ones or some sony ones L0L. The m40x are the clearest ones I tried at Long and Mcquade and the most least sound leaking ones I have ever owned plus they are great for recording. You can even hear everything in songs with a lot of layeres.
What are the pioneer headphones shown?
you need good dac or headphone jack if getting good headphones. so axon 7 or lg v20.
please tell me that the, in ear head phones of MI brand, how are they??? they have dual drivers and High Resolution sound…. please review them….
Awesome vid, I loved the clear and simple explanation about every type of headphones.
Keep the nice work 👌
what about gaming vs audio ?
You should leave a link of all the headphones you listed… Mr. TechRadar
Just buy a Mi Hi-fi and get the all spectrum (mid open, btw)
this guy sounds so genuine
Nice and simple, thank you!
Can you provide a link for the Dragonfly?
Just a clarification on the "25 > OHMS DEMAND MORE POWER" caption: The 25 Ohms are the electrical impedance, and the heavier the impedance load, the lower the number and the more power it takes to drive them. 25 Ohms requires more power than 50 Ohms and so on. Lot of people get that backwards, so don't feel bad. If you do have a set of headphones that require a lot of power, and you want to drive them with a phone, you may want to consider phones made for this purpose, such as the LG V10, HTC 10, HTC M8, or the London Marshal. Otherwise, you may wont to consider an outboard or an independent DAC.
I personally find the over ears most comfortable, as do most people. The noise isolation is not much of a factor in the recording studio, as you normally cut the studio speakers off to do listening comparisons and make sure everything still sounds good. That, and you can always tell everyone in the mix room to shut up 😉
However, for live sound mixing, good sound isolation or active noise cancellation are very important. For personal enjoyment, I like a moderate level of isolation without being completely closed off. The Bose QC series is super comfortable for personal use, but I wish they sounded better without the grainy midrange.
I do have three pairs of on-ear headphones, one from Sony for reference and mixing, one from Sennheiser (glad they are on my desk right now… I can never spell it properly, lol), and for personal fun I have a set of Jam Transits. Yeah, that last one is a bit of a shocker. I picked them up on the road because someone lost an expensive set of mine, and I was really surprised. Someone borrowed THEM and did not want to give them back, so I bought a second pair. Nice clean detailed sound, punchy bass without being too heavy. As long as I don't have to wear them for very long, I'm ok with my ears mashed against my head.
Now, what I don't like about in-ears is that I have to stick them IN MY EARS! However, I can tolerate them for short times of less than an hour. I have a few sets, but nothing over a $100 US. The best sounding ones I have right now are the HTC Actives. They are also tangle resistant with magnets that hold them together during storage. Note that these buds need to "seal" in your ear, meaning you have to use the right size silicone cup, and push them in enough to seal. They won't sound good unless you do that. I have another expensive set that I don't remember what they are because I stopped using them, and I have to admit I DO carry a set of earpods in my laptop bag. They don't sound as good (kinda lifeless, actually), but they are more comfortable than the HTC's for longer use because they can just rest in your outer ear. I use them for conference calls and podcasts.
What about b&w p7
Have you tested
high quality "gaming" headphones??
