This is one for those of you into good audio equipment.
---------------------------
Iam going to buy a new set of earphones and iam looking for advice on what to go for, price range up to about £100 but preferably a bit less than that.
To give you an idea of the sound quality I would expect, these are what I have just now.
I currently have a sony set, the MDR-V500DJ model which i find for sound they are ok for me but the build quality suks and they have started to crack at certain points, so I wont be going for those again for sure, lol, but as I say, the sound from them is adequit for my needs, so thats the kind of level of sound quality I would at least expect from the new ones.
Most of the time I just listen to the computer through the phones, I.E - games etc and general computer sound , however, I have them connected to a pretty powerfull amp that can give heavy bass and high clarity too, I like to occasionally crank the volume up loud and hear some good quality tunes without the phones farting etc, I hate it when the phones distort when you drive a bit of ooomphh through them, I know the mdr-v500dj models arent particularly brilliant but they are not too bad, so now you know what i expect.
I prefer phones like can's style or like the dj style, you know, big cans tight on the ears for better sound quality and deeper bass etc.
Ive been advised against cordless phones as they supposidly can sometimes get interfierence through them from electrical sources etc, dunno if there is any truth in that though, plus I dont like the fuss of keeping the batteries charged up etc, although iam open to suggestions on cordless if you know better.
So, I would appreciate advice and opinions.
Cheers guys.
:Cheers:
edit ::> can i just add this, whats this iam reading about closed and opened earphones etc, whats that all about ???
