Headphones

Post by PeppeJones » Sat Aug 10, 2013 1:29 am

Budget 5-25$ i know thats not much but considering i've been using dollarstore ones, it'd probably be a big improvement. What should i get?? Radio Shack Walmart are closest places.

They should have them at the store. If not if you can get together 5 more bucks the had a pc, ps3, and xbox 360 headphone set that I saw the other day. not sure the brand but I'm most likely going to get a pair.

If you go into a gamestop, they might have sales on "older" headsets for like $15-$25. I bought a pair of tritons that were originally 80, but got them for 20 lol.

Use EBAY or CRAIGLIST. I've got STUDIO ULTRASONE PROLINE 750 as a gift from my producer/dj friends. These are $400 headphones. My friend went to craiglist and bought brand new for a $100.
But to answer to your question for $25...
1. Look up something that costs $50-100
2. Remember the make and model
3. EBAY or craiglist it
4. Chances are you'll find used items, but might find new one for $25
5. ENJOY your $50-100 headphones for only $25

That's what I would recommend. ;)

Product: RadioShack® Lightweight Stereo Headphones by Radio Shack
Submitted at: RadioShack
Love them!!!
by PeppeJones Counterstrike Extrodinaire from Little Rock, Arkansas on 10/1/2013

Pros:
Lightweight, Stylish, Compact, Weak Jack, Great Sound, Good Bass, Good Value, Comfortable
Cons:
Flimsy Jack
Best Uses:
With My Computer, Music, Home Audio
Describe Yourself:
Techie, Audiophile
Was this a gift?:
No
Bought these to use on my pc, they worked wonderfully for the first month, but one day when unplugging(my pc has front facing audio jack)the jack slipped out of the rubber housing and exposed the wiring, i pushed it back together and went about my business no problems. My sister-in-law borrowed them to use with iphone, and brought them home completely broken(jack loose from housing). I did purchase the service plan(13$ Tax included) So, im going to have them replaced in the morning. I cannot say anything bad about these other than the jack is easy to break, but taken care of, and lightly used for pc or portable audio you cannot beat the sound, bass, and comfort.

I think you get what you pay for to be honest. I would steer away from anything under $25.

Good brands under $50 are:

Plantronics (been around forever, they have always been my go to vendor for microphones and headsets. )
Logitech (makes quality products, would recommend)
Turtle Beach ( I have a wireless headset for my ps3 for about 2 years, no issues)
