FIRST!
Maybe you should buy my book on tape “definition of paradox”
It’s only 30 seconds long, well worth the listen and won’t blow your cheapo headphones.
Bob Dole says this graph is a FAIL. Bob Dole enjoys headphones with great sound quality that fit in Bob Dole’s ears. Bob Dole didn’t have to spend a lot of Bob Dole’s money for Bob Dole’s headphones. Bob Dole is sad that Bob Dole’s face will never be on Bob Dole’s money. Bob Dole should be president. Bob Dole.
1996 wants its joke back.
your mom wants me back.
I find it funny how old the “…wants its joke back.” joke is.
I have 1 thing to say on this chart: Sony MDR-7509HD. Don’t cost an aful lot and it’s the best headset ever. THis baby is used in professional recording studios around the world (or the MDR-7506). If you look after your stuff you should be able to enjoy it at least 20 years.
Absolutely right. I think the flaw of the OP is that he wants good sounding earbuds that won’t break. Which is an improbability. They need to get over their sense of fashion and buy based on sound alone.
That’s not necessarily true. I bought earbuds that have amazing sound quality and lasted along time, but theres those weird ones that go a good distance into your ear canal, so you cant hear anything else.
yeah like skullcandy ink’d. they have excellent bass and are like earplugs with speakers in them. which is great when you’re on a bus or noisy place. AND they come in many colors =).
(but my friend said his broke in a month… its been 3 weeks and mine are still good… i guess we’ll see)
I have the skullcandy ink’d. Love them, good sound & noise cancellation, good base and they fit my 1st gen iPhone without an adapter. I have had one pair for well over a year and a half – and they still work, even after being stepped on a couple times. I took some scotch tape around the joint and sealed it with a lighter… (almost) good as new. I’ve bought a couple other pairs since then just to have them around, and no problems whatsoever.
I guess it really depends on how hard you are on headphones…
i had a pair of MDR EX75 Headphones that I picked up off amazon because they were only $20 bucks…. they broke after 3 weeks
“Costs a bomb” ..seriously?
The thesaurus didn’t have any synonyms for bomb.
Someone set us up the bomb.
bombs cost alot
Buy a Sennheiser
Sennheiser the best! And ain’t too expensive (at least not back here in the Netherlands)
Sennheiser are the best, but also overpriced, because they know they can sell them for a lot of money. If you want THE single best headphone ever made, you should probably go Sennheiser, but be prepared to get your cash out. But if you want quality for less money, I’d say go with something else, I went with Devon, but most important of all, bring your music device of choice to the shop, and listen to your music of choice on a few headphones before buying them.
Although Sennheiser are my personnal favorite, the ultimate best is considered Grado headphones.
I have a pair of sennheisers which only cost 20 bucks and sound friggin awesome. Their top of the line stuff is pretty pricey, but their lower priced headphones sound great compared to other headphones of the same price.
Koss Porta Pro.
Not discontinued since 1984!
Agreed, I have headphones from Grado Labs, Sennheiser, and Sony, and the Koss Porta Pros sound remarkably good even compared to the high-end phones.
If it’s blown in two weeks, it’s not going to be a trusted name brand much longer…
I think by ‘trusted brand name’ that ‘doesn’t break the bank’ he/she meant Panasonic. Those will definitely break in 2 weeks.
See, I think “doesn’t fit your ear” and “blown in 2 weeks” should be swapped. I agree there are headphones that don’t follow this, but you have to go looking. They’re not at Best Buy or Walmart.
I agree about the swapping. If it breaks that quickly, it shouldn’t be a “trusted name brand”.
Ain’t this the truth. I got Skullcandy Crushers (the best that brand has to offer) and they blew after a couple weeks of having them.
Those are the only headphones I have lol and ya mine keep breaking…
Both of you. Turn your music down before you LIQUEFY YOUR GODDAMN BRAINS.
Blew out skullcandy??? Seriously!? What were you doing, plugging it into the outport of an AMP!?
I have lost one pair of skullcandy in the past two years, and it was due to cable damage. I listen to nearly every genre of music save for hiphop and country. And I am YET to blow a pair. How can you even do that? It would make your ears BLEED.
Oh, they weren’t designed to be pluged into my Peavy Outport? My bad.
Seriously. Skullcandy rocks. The…..you know what? no….just…no…This is graph jam…No one is reading this.
If your headphones get blown out (After any amount of time) you are listening to the wrong music…
Or just WAY too loud. Classical can do some damage if ya have it cranked up too high.
Nope, doesn’t even have to be loud. I’ve had cheap pairs of headphones (not earbuds) die in a month from a mix of 50% cheery flash game music I’m too lazy to turn off and 50% grunge music, played very quietly from my laptop.
LOL. That is the true paradox.
Actually, you can made custom-molded plugs for your in-ear phones for a reasonable price at any place that sells hearing aids. If this won’t make you feel comfortable, nothing will. Circum-aural and supra-aural phones are usually comfy, and earbuds – let’s face it, earbuds were made to: a) be cheap and b) suck.
Also, if you’re listening to lossy-compressed music (such as MP3), you probably do not want those high-end headphones anyway – they’ll just bring out the defects in your recordings.
Me, I reason that if you put something to use every single day, you may as well spend some money on it. Therefore my portable cans are Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9: pretty nice but definitely not suitable for sane people.
Really? “Trusted name brand” intersects with “blown in a week” and “doesn’t break the bank” intersects with “costs a bomb?”. Dude, my 4-year-old can make a better Venn-diagram than this.
OMG, this graph is the story of my life!!!
Switch the “blown in 2 weeks” with “doesn’t fit your ear” and you’re onto something.
Koss KTXPRO’s. They’re $20, Sound pretty damn good for the money, and if they break, you can send them Koss with $6 and get a new pair. Actually, just about all Koss headphones have that lifetime warranty where you can get a new pair for $6. Also, the Sparkplugs and the KEB24’s are good candidates if you’re looking for an earbud style. And the you can get the latter ones at WalMart.
Two words: Skullcandy earbuds. Only $20. Epic sound quality. Three sizes of bud that can be switched depending on your ear size. They pwn.
Well, I ordered a pair of iFrogz Timbre from amazon, though I had to get someone to forward them since I live in Canada. It’s been about three-four weeks and I still haven’t gotten them. Probably since the guy who forwarded them picked USPS’s cheapest shipping…
The headphone’s from my Blackberry Bold 9000 are pretty damned good though…
lol skullcandy.
Sony MDR-V6’s. They satisfy all the qualities of this graph and are still in production.
where can i buy the best ones ..
Sony MDR-V150s.
I win.
koss porta pro
they’ve had the best sound for almost 20 years.
Skullcandy FTW
this is not a paradox…
