He works for so many bands of the scene I loathe. Haha. The exceptions are Nothing, Turnover, and Superheaven. Yeah, most of his source stuff is terrible, which might be part of why I don't like his stuff. It's usually way to clean and sorta bright, but he does do a good job when it should be more dirty like Nothing and Turnover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I asked like last week but I don't think you were around @Dave Grohl: I'm looking for a decent-to-good pair of (non-earbuds) headphones for $100 or less. Do those exist in my price range, and where can I find some? Even if I'm not an audiophile, I can still differentiate 256 and 320 (everything higher is the same to me) so my primary focus is a pair that have good audio quality while not leaving any room for air to get in instead of music (I hate a detached listening experience, if that makes any sense).

Thomas³ Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) The Grado SR80e are $99, and are great headphones. Edit: Oops, they are open back, so sound leaks in and out. Closed back headphones don't usually sound as good. Edited June 14, 2016 by Thomas³ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like them, do the quarter mod to open them up a bit more. Grado's are fun, since the modding options are endless if you ever get bored of the sound.

Thomas³ Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 WTF, my debit card is suddenly coming declined. On the phone with my bank now, saying there is fraud on my account.

Let me see what's at that price point these days. Open: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0011UB9CQ/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1465868412&sr=8-1&keywords=beyerdynamic&condition=used Closed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B008POFOHM/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used I have the open 990s, and they are incredible. Amazing for their price point. Highly, highly recommend those. Perfect to use with an amp and DAC later on too if you go that route. Open box is like $130. You won't do better than that. These sound like $400 cans. If you don't need to worry about sound leak definitely get open. If you are for some reason (don't know why you would be if you're at home), get the closed 770s. Just as amazing as the 990s, but closed instead of open. Edited June 14, 2016 by Dave Grohl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant by 'detached listening' is when I can hear something other than the music, including the sound of the air around me. Especially because I'd be using these at work and stuff.

Thomas³ Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Well, someone tried to use my card in fort wayne indiana. No clue how my card got compromised, since I never use it online. I have to go to the bank in the morning to withdrawl money, since they are sending me a new one. This is fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you don't want noise leaking out get closed. I have a pair of open that I use for home, and closed I use for outside the home (so no one hears anything but me). With either you're not going to hear anything except your music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas³ Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Ryan, is there anything else I should do? My bank put my account on hold, and can only make withdrawals in person until they send me a new debit card. I'm also locked out of the website until that happens too. Anything else I should worry about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about other people hearing my music since I keep the volume so low anyway, if that makes any sense. Even if sound leaked out, I'm not concerned about that, I'm only concerned about sound leaking IN. Guess I'll go with the open ones!

Not sure who you bank with but usually it's pretty easy as we can cancel the card and issue a temp card right on the spot so you don't have to withdrawal your money and all that. The main thing is to check your account to make sure there aren't charges they missed. But no need to worry as if they got any of your money it's obviously fraud and you aren't held liable. Just one of those inconvenience things. But hopefully they caught it early and is it an easy fix. Did you notice it or did they contact you?

I can't check to see if there are any other charges on my account until I activate my new card, but the lady listed off the stuff and it only seemed like the one they caught. Guess I'm going into work late so I can run to the bank and withdrawal money/get a temp card. It really is super inconvenient.
