BF2S Forums Headphones, bitches.

I have the CX300s, and they're ok-ish. CX500s should be an improvement, no? Pretty good for the price, although at least the 300s have fuck all mids.

EDIT: Reading up a bit reveals that the CX500s basically are CX300s with even more focus on the bass. That's not a good thing, seeing how the bass in the CX300s is already a bit too dominating. I say, get the 300s. If you ramp up the mids, you get quite good sound out of them, actually.

I used to have the 300s... They were shit tbh, but I can't think pf anything better for that price really.

btw guize CX300's look a little too entry-level for me, (they're £16 anyway, the CX500's are usually £43 on amazon but someone's selling them through amazon (new not used) for £18, so gg them), I was looking more at like another rung up the ladder like

Something at a similar or slightly higher level than the CX500's, but not really the CX95's level (even though i do want them )

and Uzique get in here dammit!

Meh, I guess you could take a look at the Shure 110s, though they're slightly out of your pricerange, it seems.


I have the 310s and they're awesome. iirc, 110 is good, 210 is 110 with better bass, 310 is 210 with slightly less bass and better mid/highs. That's highly simplified, and it's been almost a year since I tested them, so I might be remembering wrongly.

Some would say buying 310s for your iPod is a waste of money, but I <3 mine.

Have you, you know, tried them? Doesn't matter what price they are.

Yeah, you're right, they're out of my pricerange When I can afford it, I'm thinking of getting some nice headphones like that, either Shure's or one of the mid-end Sennheisers

I like your style Josh, Senny and AKG. You can't go wrong with either of them. But from my personal experience Senny's are more comfy.

Thanks I really like the look of the AKG's, hawt

How does the sound quality of the AKG's and the Sennheisers compare?

Also, do you know anything (from personal experiences or otherwise) about how the CX400's and the CX55's compare to the original 2 posted (these are also in my price range). Thx

enjoy your karma rape guys

Don't don't those two exact models (though reviews praise the CX series) but AKG is usually a bit "bass shy". Both have extremely good sound in fact I was just deciding between AKG 701 and Sennheiser HD600 and I will go with Sennheiser.

Right, ok Seeing as I listen to lots of quite bass-heavy music (heavy metal lolz), probably a better idea to go with Sennheisers then you think?

Right now i'm stuck between the AKG's in the OP, the CX500 and the CX55, thinking of going with the CX55 as it's supposed to have more bass and looks nicer

And the most reputable place that was selling it cheap was the BT Store, lawl? http://www.shop.bt.com/productview.aspx?quicklinx=53M7
