I do not remember that talk, however Giantbomb's go to headphones for there podcasts are Sennheiser HD 202 which are only $25 the only issue with them it that the audio cord is over 10 feet long.

The headphones that are used in the control room are the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro at $99 which are great headphones for the price.

And if you can find a pair the Sennheiser HD 419 which I use are awesome I have a large head and I can wear this for hours on end without issue. They go for about $30 - $40 if you can find them.

I would recommend the Sennheiser HD280PROs.

And here's why:

When I first started producing (7 yrs ago), I realized I would need a decent pair of headphones. I had absolutely no idea what I was buying, but after reading a couple Amazon reviews, I settled on these $70 Sennheisers (sorry can't remember the model # off the top of my head - but it doesn't matter since they don't make them anymore). I figured I would be buying a more expensive pair ~$250 within the first year or so anyway, and $70 wasn't that much.

To this day, I've been through 4 sets of other headphones (all more expensive), and the only pair that I still own and use regularly are those $70 Sennheisers.

This is for a couple reasons: (1) they're super durable, hell they've lasted 7 years w/o a single problem, and I haven't exactly been kind to them, (2) they give you an accurate flat response; sure the very high and very low ends lack the sparkle and punch of a $500 studio pair, but I've had better luck on my mixdowns with those than I have with my $250 headphones.

I can honestly say that I have full faith in Sennheiser. I recommend the HD280 Pros b/c they're in your price range. I don't own these - like I said, I have an older model - but I'm confident that any Sennheiser set is going to do the job.

I use Sennhieser HD280. They're a popular model for monitoring. The other popular monitoring headphones under $100 would be the Sony MDR7506.

$100, transparent as hell, and super comfortable. Music sounds great and you could even get away with mixing or doing audio work on them.

Just recently installed new speakers on my PC. The speaker I picked up is a Logitech Z623. It sound incredible when I'm listening to Hyperreal. I could just sit down, chill and drink it all in while I'm doing other stuff in my room. In addition, I picked up new headphone. Mainly because my old headphones are getting dirty. I never used it for just listening to music, but I used it when I play multiplayer shooters. It has better sound quality and offer better stereo sound than most gaming headset. No more gaming headphones for me.

I use an earlier version of these Senheiser HD280PRO headphones. I love these things; they block out all outside sound and are crystal clear. I hate headphones that go over your ears and these are the most comfortable that I've ever worn. Great for short or long sessions.

Pro Tools definitely isn't necessary if you're getting Logic Pro, but if it fits your budget at the end, go for it.

For Headphones, Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro, or Sennheiser HD280 Pro if you want to allocate more of the budget to other gear.

Assuming you're not going to doing large sessions, the Steinberg UR44 interface should meet your needs and is very budget-friendly.

The Shure SM57 is a must-have for any studio, great for electric guitar but can be used for just about anything. The SM58 should also definitely be considered.

You'll also probably want something like the Audio-Technica 2035 for recording vocals (or other instruments), and a couple of other mics that I'm sure other people will recommend.

The Yamaha HS8 is a great monitor that you'll find widely used in studios all over the world, and won't break the bank. This package also includes stands and cables.

edit I know it wasn't asked for, but price out what it costs to have someone come and tune a piano in your area. If it's reasonable, take a look on Craigslist, you can often find used upright pianos in great shape for free, being given away by people who are moving and don't play enough to justify the effort of moving it.

EDIT BACKUP DRIVES! Unless the people there have their own way of backing up the things they record, or even if they do, get a couple of hard drives and back things up often, just in case any tragedies should happen.

That's all I got off the top of my head, I'll come back and edit this post later if anything else comes to mind, hopefully this is a good starting out point for you.

When I looked at options in the range of $100 - $200 I didn't see a big enough difference between the two ends of the spectrum to warrant going over $100. I've been very happy with the Sennheiser HD280 headphones and using them daily for 4-5 years now and no complaints.

I don't know the name, I'll see if I can get it though.

But be warned, they are meant for recording film/music and have an extremely long cable and are pretty expensive, though if you're looking for a high-quality audio experience these were top of the line.

Quick edit: found them $99

Look at the other sellers https://smile.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00IT0IHOY/ref=olp_f_new?ie=UTF8&f_new=true

Reputable sellers too

I'm loving the hell out of my Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones. Best headphones I've ever owned. My girlfriend did well this year for Christmas.

Better to get a nice pair of Sennheiser headphones and a stand-alone mic.

Combined price will be very close to what you were looking at previously, but with better audio and mic quality.

I agree with other posters, better isolation headphones and learning to dj with headphones rather than a booth monitor is a better answer. Louder will just destroy your ears faster.

Thanks for the advice! I've actually already got a pair of these so I'm all set on headphones. I like them a lot.

Depends on your budget.

Sennheiser HD280PRO, right at $100. They are as boring as you can get, and /r/headphones is very conflicted on them.

Only passive noise isolation though. If you want active noise cancellation, you probably want to look at Bose products (the only time you want to look at Bose products).

I absolutely love my pair.

I'm a huge fan of the HD 280's. I've been using them for my train commute for a year now. Extremely satisfied.

Super comfortable. Not really stylish. Only involve natural noise isolation. But I absolutely love them.

So, I took a look - and what I noticed is that a lot of the ~$200 merchants have less than 1k feedback or around that. In other words - not exactly power sellers that have been doing this a long time. In my experience, ~2% leave feedback for the merchants. So - we can deduce that they likely have less than 10k sales. All that to say - they just don't know what they are doing or they are using pricing software incorrectly.

HOWEVER - there's another thing happens a lot. And this happens in categories outside of books just as often. A lot of 3rd party merchants will sell on multiple websites at the same time. eBay, walmart, newegg, etc. And if an item sales on one website, they update their inventory across all the sites. All that to say - they could be using blanket pricing strategies that are tailored to other sites that profit more. So - I imagine - these $200 are more likely to be pricing for some other website - and it just looks like they are stupid when you only look at their Amazon listing. However, they might be the cheapest on - say - Newegg.

Disclaimer: (can't remember if I mentioned this) I've been selling online on multiple sites for just over a year - I'm not an expert or by any means have it all figured out. I just happen to know a good bit about this specific topic. I'm at just over 10k sales myself and hopefully lots more to come!

Final side note - as an audio engineer myself - I love the Sennheiser HD280 Pro. Not as feature rich as the one you just showed me, but great bang for buck in regards to audio quality and durability. Many of my fellow audio engineers swear by this model as well.

Sorry for the long reply. :)

I've got these ones they are fantastic, and have good sound isolation.

Just a quick correction if I may...the HD280's are $70 more. The link previously provided was for Amazon.com not Amazon.ca.

Cheers.

HD 280 Pro (fits over the ears, not on ear)

HD 25 Professional is near the limit of your budget, but on ear.

Maybe the Shure SRH840 also.

$100 is actually a perfectly respectable budget to get decent sound.

What kind of in-ears do you have? Because some cheap Advanced Model 3 for $39 with Comply P-series foam (what I currently use waiting for my upgrade to arrive) are basically 30+ dBa earplugs.

Someone also recently mentioned the https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD280PRO-Headphone-new-model/dp/B00IT0IHOY for over the ears with 32 dBa passive noise isolation. Noise canceling won't do great at blocking percussive sounds, they do better with predictable noise like the drone of an engine. Passive noise isolation works for everything.

I hope I'm posting this in the right place.

I'm looking for a low-end solution for recording vocals, connected to a PC.

I have absolutely no experience whatsoever with audio hardware. My wife loves to sing - and though I am of course biased, I think she's pretty good at it - and so I want to get her a gift of some recording equipment.

I'm not looking for anything high-end; I'd like for it to be "decent", but it doesn't have to be professional level hardware. I'd like to be able to get everything for somewhere between $300-400 if possible. So, specifically, I'm looking for...

1. A microphone for vocals (with a stand, or stand separate)
   
   
2. A way to hook everything up to the PC (for use with something like FL Studio or Audacity)
   
   I assume there might need to be an amp in there somewhere? I don't know, I don't know anything about this stuff.
   
   Would anyone please be willing to give me some recommendations on parts, and what specifically I will need? Thank you.
   
   Edit: Okay, what about this?

Thanks man, I really appreciate you giving it a listen.

I do all my recording on a PC I built a few years back. I purposely went overboard on RAM when I did, because prior to that I'd had nothing but trouble with laggy, crashing audio software during marathon sessions. Beyond that, mine is a "budget" setup to the max, but it works for what I do.

The DAW I use is Reaper - I've experimented with several over the years but this is the most responsive one I've found yet, and even the "vanilla" plug-ins are awesome. I think it cost me $60, but in reality it's a Winrar type deal where you could use the free "trial" forever. In the end I really wanted to support the dev though, because it's a great tool for the price tag.

When I'm just looking to bang out a quick recording before an idea escapes me (most of the time), I literally just use a $50 Blue Snowball wired directly into the PC via USB. I never intend for those to be the final versions of my songs, but sometimes I just kind of fall in love with random happy accidents and can't bring myself to toss out tracks with "real" moments in them. Hence the poor quality on a lot of my stuff.

When I want to record something "for real," I use this six-channel USB mixer, this standalone compressor/gate (I'm a bit old school about that), and some combination of a Shure SM58, an MXL 990 and an MXL991 depending on the situation. I was gifted a pair of Sennheiser HD280 cans many years ago, and they have been my faithful monitoring headphones ever since. When I want to play back what I've recorded so far at unreasonable volumes, which I consider a mandatory part of the process, I use the time-honored pair of Dayton B652 bookshelf speakers with a Lepai LP-2020A digital amplifier.

The only thing I somewhat regret is the mixer. It's fine for what it is, but I wish I'd spent a little more money on something that had more channels and enough juice to support the unpowered speakers I use for live performances. Other than that, my setup won't hold a candle to a $5000 or $10,000 rig, but it gets the job done and it's something I'm proud to have built one piece at a time. I paid for all of it using money I've made on gigs at local bars and coffee shops over the years, so it has some sentimental value as well. One day when I have the money for a serious upgrade, I hope I get the chance to pass this stuff down to a random kid who's just getting started and make his fucking year. :)

My advice is to buy some inexpensive audiophile headphones ($100) or mid-range audiophile headphones ($150) and a decent clip on mic ($55) (a less expensive alternative ($30)).

For around the same price as a overpriced gaming headsets ($200), you'll get all the comfort, durability, and audio quality of nice headphones, plus you can chat with buddies while gaming! Plus, you can actually use them for music and stuff besides gaming.

From my current knowledge, there's not a huge difference between integrated sound and buying a separate sound card anymore. So, generally what you're looking for is a good pair of headphones foremost, and then into DACs/AMPs. There's plenty of them combined into one device.

This or This are what I'd recommend for something that'd actually make a difference at a lower price point.

I'm unsure of headphones because I don't know what you'd want out of them. All headphones do something a bit different or have different sound profiles. These are what I have. I found these on sale on Amazon so those might also interest you.

I'm not much of an audiophile so anyone that knows more feel free to correct me!

Realistically the DACs are not necessary if you don't want to, a good pair of headphones will do you just fine.

Sennheiser 280 Pro

i would say for software start out with fl studio because it's really easy to get the hang of. equipment wise i would start off with headphones or studio monitors. though you probably can't find any decent monitors for under $100 headphones may be the better option because you really wanna understand what you're listening to. these are the headphones i purchased a little over a year ago and they have been fabulous for me. what's also great about them is you don't need an audio interface to use them.

My apartment has a ton of street noise, and I'm looking for something over-ear to wear in addition to foam earplugs to block out even more noise while I'm sleeping. I think I want noise isolating rather than noise cancelling.

I was considering just buying protective earmuffs, but it would be nice to be able to listen to music occasionally. I'm wondering whether something like Sennheiser 280 Pro or Sennheiser 598 would effectively block sound even when no music is playing?

Or does anyone have any better suggestions? I'd be willing to pay ~$125 (though cheaper would be nice). The sound isolation is way more important than audio quality for me.

I've had the Sennheiser HD280PRO's for a few years now and love 'em. I'm running them through a Schiit Stack (Magni 2 & Modi 1) for the full experience, but on their own, the 280's are excellent.

Just any that are under $200 combined with a mod mic. I dont really understand much about headphones. For example i have found these first headset and the second one Dont really know whats different besides bluetooth and ive also seen audio technica for example this headset and second audio technica Sorry if this comment was a nightmare

cloud alphas if your looking for mic comfort and sound

but if your looking for super good headphones https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD280PRO-Headphone-new-model/dp/B00IT0IHOY?tag=headphonesaddict-20

Sennheiser HD280PRO

$100 and some really fantastic sounds quality. Even with the volume at medium I can't hear a damn thing going on around me.

Here's a good pair with a decently neutral tuning. They are 32 ohms, so won't activate high impedance mode, but will still be good for in ear headphones. They have a sensitivity of 99db, which low impedance mode won't over power

https://www.amazon.com/1MORE-Headphones-Earphones-Compatible-Microphone/dp/B01A7G35S0

Here's some over the ear headphones. They will also offer great sound at a reasonable price. 64 ohm so high impedance mode.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IT0IHOY/ref=psdcmw_9059092011_t1_B002DP1FTU

This is what I got for now, just due to time constraints right now. From here the price you're looking at jumps up pretty high.
If you can find a budget, I'd recommend hitting up r/headphones and asking for suggestions for the best headphones within that price range. Stay away from Beats, they are grossly overpriced and heavily bass tuned.

Edit: u/zl470 made great points as well. Both my suggestions were based around the $100 mark, and going on a budget, since you didn't state a low or max dollar amount.

Can't go wrong here.

I recommend the Sennheiser HD280 Pro, great quality for $100 imo. They can get a little uncomfortable when wearing them for 4+ hours or so but not that bad, usually means it is time to take a break anyway.

https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD280PRO-Headphone-new-model/dp/B00IT0IHOY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=sennheiser+hd280&qid=1565478593&s=gateway&sr=8-3

• Budget - $150-$200, somewhat flexible (US).
  
• Source - A new desktop computer.
  
• Requirements for Isolation - I'd like some passive isolation. I'll be using these at home only.
  
• Will you be using these Headphones in Public? No.
  
• Preferred Type of Headphone - Full size.
  
• Preferred tonal balance - I think I'd prefer a balance, maybe a little bass emphasis but nothing silly.
  
• Past headphones - I've used Beats Powerbeats 2 Wireless In-Ear Headphones in the past, but those are only for the gym and I never really liked how they sounded. They can slip out of your ears and be very tinny.
  
• Preferred Music - These headphones will be primary for listening to rock and pop music, and for gaming for extended periods.
  
• What would you like to improve on from your set-up - What are you looking for going into your next headphone? More bass? More detail? More treble? I'm currently using very old apple earbuds and they sound tinny with no midrange or bass at all. I want my next headphones to be a nice balance with healthy bass and some passive isolation so I don't hear the computer or the kitchen.
  
  I've been recommended these headphones, any thoughts on these?
