Headphones for College

[RallyMaster]

Since dorm rooms are pretty small, I definitely don't want to carry around my Altec Lansing speaker system. I also want to keep noise down so my roommate and the guy next door can keep sleeping when I start my trance sessions.

I'm not wanting to go over $50 for this purchase since I spent most of my money on my computer. I want the type that covers my whole entire ear, not the ones that plug into my ear. Please give suggestions, TIA.

The ipod headphones are the best quality i have ever experienced. plus they came with this nifty little white lcd holder as well

not closed, but the sennhesier HD-497 sounds pretty good.

Senn HD212s

Get those $20 earbuds that are in hot deals. I forgot what they're called. But they're bassy canalphones.

he's not looking for headphones that sounds good, he's just looking for a lot of bass.

Klipsch Promedia 2.1s. I brought these to college and they're pretty quiet.

fleshlight: headphones, not speakers. i already have an Altec Lansing 2.1 system...don't need another one...

should answer most of your questions with a level of intensity about headphones most of us can only dream of... and LMAO at the "stock iPod earbuds" comment! Try out some decent cans or canalphones and see how wrong that is.

i've got Sennheiser HD497s i plan on taking to college with me, but they're open, not closed. i hear HD280s are nice, but they're around $100.

 

[RallyMaster]

hmm...so we got a lot of sennheiser suggestions. right now leaning towards hd212

I don't quite understand that, I mean they are going to sit in your room. You're very mistaken if you believe other people aren't going to have their loud speakers at school.

280's. gotta be closed for that app. noise canceling circuitry works for droning noise/mechanical noise only. like engine/airplane noise. its useless for dorm.

I have a set of Logitech Z-2300's that I listen to the bulk of my music on.

I use headphones when one of my suite-mates is sleeping or studying.

Bring speakers. Everyone else does.

Then maybe I'll get some better speakers?
