Reddit mentions of Tascam TH-02 Closed Back Studio Headphones, Black

Tascam TH-02 - $26

Creative Aurvana L!ve - $56

Sony MDR-V6 - $67

These are all solid options to consider. The Creative and Sony options are definitely better than the Tascam, but I included it in case the others are out of reach. The Creative Aurvana L!ve are more bass heavy, while the Sony's are more treble heavy.

I usually run into a Focusrite Scarlett Solo interface into Garageband. I get fairly good sounds out of the software amps, it's just something you have to learn like anything else to get good tones. Garageband is deeper than people give it credit for. There are entire *good* albums that were produced on Garageband. That said, use whatever software amps you like, I'm just saying don't dismiss Garageband right off the bat. I use Tascam TH-02 headphones. I'm a college student and I wanted good headphones on a budget, these were the cheapest ($20) that /r/headphones recommends and they're quite good, although I haven't listened to many to compare them with.

Teamspeak: Free

Headphones that won't give your ears AIDS: $15

Microphone that's probably better than most headsets: $1

Not killing yours and everyone else's ears: Priceless.

If $20 is all you have to spend on speakers, then it doesn't really matter what you buy, it's all going to sound crap. I'd really suggest headphones instead, where you can get properly good sound for $30

A similar thread showed up around summer this year that prompted me to up my audio game. At the time I had a Logitech G630 headset and the mic boom stopped staying up so I needed a replacement. It was good luck that I saw that thread! I bought Tascam TH02-B with these replacement pads. Also got Blue Snowball and FiiO E10K DAC. I love my audio setup now!

Tascam TH-02

or the Monoprice 8323 which has a removable/replaceable cable.

Since you already have a mic, why not go for a headphones with a far more better quality? Your ears will thank you, trust me.

Few examples:
TASCAM TH02-B Closed-Back Stylish Headphone
Superlux HD668B Dynamic Semi-Open Headphones

Or splurge a bit more and go for an Audio-Technica ATH-M30x

More info on why gaming headset sucks in this post here at PCMR a few months back

I've got a really shitty $10 pair that I'll give to you for free, never used basically. They sound a bit like tin cans and feel like they were made with the cheapest plastic possible, but they work and I'll head over to you if you want them.

If you don't mind waiting for them to ship, I would recommend you just order them online. These Tascam TH-02 are what I currently use for my PC, they cost $20 right now with Amazon Prime and they actually work really well for the cost. The comfort leaves something to be desired, but they have extra padding available for sale.

The cheap cans that sound good don't sound quite as good and are built quite poorly. Tell me, do you apply your generic equivalent theory to cars? Colas? Televisions? Sometimes things are just worth the money. If anything, the brands this subreddit promotes are already the best value alternatives.

You want very cheap headphones with tradeoffs? Look at these:

Tascam TH-02, $20: Small, cheap, uncomfortable, decent sound.

KOSS KSC-75, $12: tiny, clip on, open headphones with surprising quality

A lot of this depends on your budget. Wanting to step up from 25€ still doesn't tell us how much you are willing to spend. All dollar amounts listed below are in USD:

Sub $20 - Tascam TH02. $18. Similar to the HD201 from Sennheiser, but easier to find and much cheaper.

Additionally, the Monoprice HiFi Studio Headphones are another excellent choice around $25.

$30 to $50 range - Koss Porta Pro. $33. I've always heard great things about these headphones, plus they have a sweet look.

$70ish range - Philips SHP9500S. These are closer to $75, but are extremely comfortable and have amazing sound for the price.

Most of these headphones won't require an external amp/DAC, but it won't hurt to have one either.

The Monoprice 108323 runs for <30$ both from their own site and other retailers like Amazon, likewise with the Tascam TH-02.

If you're willing to stretch the budget, the AKG K72 and ATH-M20X are also both great bang-for-the-buck options, they're probably some of your best options before you get into or near the $200 and higher range already.

If you're willing to go in-ear, the KZ brand that sells primarily through Amazon has some of the absolute best budget drivers like the ATE and the ZST -- they actually have several options under $20.

A lot cheaper than I expected since it’s Germany.

This one is cheap and good: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1N06PO

You can find a lot of good reviews on the internet

I was searching for some wireless headphones so that my wife and I can both watch movies at full volume after the kids have gone to bed. My budget was about USD $200 for both wireless headphones (I'm not fussed about high sound quality, just reliability and comfort and price) but I couldn't find anything with decent reviews. The Sennheiser RS 120 was the closest match I could see, but I hated the idea of getting sudden loud static when they entered 'power saving mode' and some users mentioned static in normal listening.



I ended up buying these wired headphones with a 3.5mm splitter and extension cords because they're super cheap to get started with, and I can always upgrade later.



Does anyone have experience with wireless headphones? Would there be anything suitable under the $200 mark (for two) that would be better than those wired headphones?

check out the reviews of this one

it has no mic though

This is my minimum suggestion for ultra low budget sound, so that you can run dual system:

Tascam DR60D mk2 (on sale you can get it for only a little bit more than what a Zoom H1 is, while the DR60D is massively massively more useful than an H1, in a totally different league. And in my opinion the DR60D mk2 is better than anything Zoom makes up until you get to their F8 / F4 recorders). Tascam DR70D is also worth considering for a little bit extra (as then you can run two or more wireless lavs at once while recording the boom as well).

3m ish should be the minimum length to consider for a boom (5m or longer is good to have at hand as well!).

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Miloboo-MLZ901-Carbon-Fiber-285cm-Handheld-Grip-Support-LED-Light-Microphone-Boom-Pole-Holder/32318802436.html

A pair of no budget level headphones to consider:
https://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-TH02-B-Closed-Back-Stylish-Headphone/dp/B00B1N06PO/

Rode NTG2 is in my view the absolute minimum level shotgun mic a person should get (or Sennheiser MKE 600). A Rode NTG3 would be an even better choice, and a mic that could last a person a long long time. However the NTG3 costs a lot more (even though the NTG3 is I feel one of the best value mics there is!). Hopefully the Aputure V-Mic D3 will ship soon and change the game for ultra low priced microphones (promising NG3/416 level of performance!).

Rode WS6 windshield is essential! (get a blimp too when it can be afforded)

A hypercardiod is needed as well for indoors (shotgun is for outdoors), Samson C02 is a popular zero budget choice (but an Audix SCX1-HC would be so much better).

Rycote Universal Shotgun Mount:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1155648-REG/rycote_037340_universal_shotgun_mount_for.html

Having wireless lavs as well is important once you take this to the next level, but usually they're extremely expensive! (Look at lectrosonics) Even for the absolutely cheapest bare "minimum" quality to make it worthwhile you are looking at a Sennheiser G3 or Sony UWP-D11.
But I feel Saramonic UwMic9 is a game changer at the ultra low budget level with their recent product, thus worth checking out as the next step forward for upgrading your overall kit.
Next step after that will be to get OST-801 lavs, as you'll see a big improvement over the stock lavs:

TASCAM TH02

Measures very well and if you really want to piss off some students you can go for the pink version from TEAC which is even cheaper.

You will be plugging these headphones into an expandable amplifier rack?

If you have some people who prefer to have one free ear, check out the Superlux HD-562 a rather audacious copy of the legendary Sennheiser HD25 which is the industry standard for most professional TV crews in the field.

Tascam TH02B <$30

What!??

http://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-TH02-B-Closed-Back-Stylish-Headphone/dp/B00B1N06PO

these are on sale, seem to have decent reviews. Save up and pair em with this to get the full package. Alternatively, I have these but they cost a big extra; maybe save up some money and get those instead.

> I left almost no room for headphones so if you want some I think we should be upping your budget by $100 or so so u/Mad_Economist has some room to play with.

No joke. The only options that'd at all fit into price range while not being terrible would be the rather unergonomic (and functionally on-ear) [Tascam] (https://www.innerfidelity.com/images/TeacCTH02.pdf) [TH02]
(https://www.amazon.com/Tascam-TH-02-Closed-Studio-Headphones/dp/B00B1N06PO) and the clip-on [Koss] (https://www.innerfidelity.com/images/KossKSC75.pdf) [KSC75] (https://www.amazon.com/Koss-KSC75-Portable-Stereophone-Headphones/dp/B0006B486K)

http://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-TH02-B-Closed-Back-Stylish-Headphone/dp/B00B1N06PO Are these any good? I saw a post that listed them as the best for ~20 ish dollarsso i bought them

I recently got these and so far they sound good enough for me.
Take a look at these, these and these
Whichever pair you get, make sure they go from at least 20hz to 20khz, and try to look online for reviews and frequency response curves (the flatter, the better!)

Welp, my question wasn't answered yesterday so I might as well try again. I'm a Canadian hoping I can get some advice on what kind of headphones to buy. While I have already looked at the recommendations section of the wiki and everything there is either American or American and out of stock and as a Canadian, I'm hoping for some alternative recommendations. That said, Amazon.ca does sell the TASCAM TH02 Closed-Back headphones that are mentioned on the recommendations page and they are at the top of my buying list at the moment.


Now, as for the required information:


Budget - I would like to keep it under $100 Canadian, I can go higher, but as a college student I really don't want to.

Source - Just planning on using these with my computer, fyi I don't have a sound card.

Requirements for Isolation - As I said, I'm a college student and since I'm living on residence I would like a fair amount of noise isolation, but not an extreme amount (I'm hoping to be on an extended quiet hours floor next year).

Will you be using these Headphones in Public? - Not planning on it.

Preferred Type of Headphone - I personally prefer over-ear headphones despite my glasses.

Preferred tonal balance - While I don't know that much about tone, I think I'd prefer an overall balanced pair of headphones as my musical tastes are all over the place.

Past headphones - My last two headphones have been Logitech G930s. Overall they've both been good to me, but since both of them are dying/dead from the batteries failing I figured it was time to try something else. I really don't care if my new headphones have a microphone or not since my current G930 probably still has enough life in it to do that.

Preferred Music - As I've said, I'm all over the place. I like Rock, Alternative Rock, EDM, Dubstep, Orchestral, other kinds of Electronic, a few others I don't know the genre of. As a side note, I am also going to use these headphones for gaming.


I think that's everything, should I just buy the TASCAM TH02s, or does anyone have any recommendations?

Tell me about your headphone choice. I got the blue snowball and it's a great mic. I have been using my Grado headphones which are fantastic for music but I think they are not meant for podcasting. The sound can be heard quite well from these headphones as they are open backed. The headphones you have i'm assuming are these ones: https://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-TH02-B-Closed-Back-Stylish-Headphone/dp/B00B1N06PO

Really low price. But they do appear to be studio specific.

Everyone keeps saying that (I'm looking for a budget headphone + mic setup) but they don't provide examples. Do you that this will work well?

Tascam TH-02

Zalman Zm-Mic1

Maybe if they're uncomfortable some replacement pads

I'd say the Tascam TH-02 is a good cheap monitor headphone

https://www.amazon.com/Tascam-TH-02-Closed-Studio-Headphones/dp/B00B1N06PO/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=th02&qid=1557428611&s=musical-instruments&sr=1-1

these r good ones i think and ur choice is very good and might be better but check them both if u want but consider replacing the pads since both r very uncomfortable straight out the box

Hey.

GF's desk is in the same room as my computer and she's looking for headphones to listen to her music on her iPod/computer. Nothing fancy but it needs to be good at noise cancelling (Read: She doesn't want to hear me talk to my friends while playing games in the same room) and comfortable.

Would the TASCAM TH02 be a good fit for her?

Thanks!

Are these headphones binaural?

Y si puedes usar un micro aparte con un auri normal te sale más barato.

Aunque los earpads de los tascam no son muy comodos.

I'm on a really tight budget, so if y'all can tell me which you think is the best for it's value that'd be amazing.
(These are all closed, over ear headphones. Comfort and audioquality is something I'm looking for)

yeah im only talking about the use for csgo.

First you should decide wether you want an open or closed Headphone.

Open means the sides of the Headphones are, well open. They are usually covered by some kind of mesh. This means you will be hearing whats going on around you (people talking etc), but they will also hear whatever sounds are coming from your headphones.

Closed Cans are the opposite, people wont hear your music/csgo sounds, but you wont hear anybody around you either. I would recommend these if you dont have your own room to play csgo in or plan to use them on the go.

Personally I prefer Open Headphones for CSGO since they generally have a bigger Soundstage which helps alot telling for where Footsteps/Shots etc in CS are coming from. So should you have your own quiet room to play in i would highly recommend getting open type Headphones.

Open Headphones i would recommend:

• Superlux (not even 32 Pounds with Zalman Mic)
  
  
• Philips just re-released the SHP9500's in the US, where they are about 50$. you could use those with a BoomPro. Unfortunatly the new Model of these isnt available in europe yet, so you will have to wait a little bit. Everything you find here atm is still the old version and mostly listed at ridiculus prices (like in the link above).
  
  Closed:
  
  
• HyperX Cloud
  
  
• Tascam
  
  
• Creative (good sound but poor build)
  
  
• M40X
  
  Generally People recommend saving up for the M40X over the M20X
  
  EDIT: i forgot the Q-Pad which is basicly HyperX Cloud but as an Open Back
  
  You could also look into getting a used X1/X2 on Ebay and pairing it up with a boompro or ModMic

Hello everyone. I was looking into buying these Tascam TH02s (http://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-TH02-B-Closed-Back-Stylish-Headphone/dp/B00B1N06PO). I was wondering if anyone knew how goodthese were for the price. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I was wondering what you guys thought of the Betron HD1000. It has gone through quite the noticeable price change (now £20). How would they compare to something such as a Tascam TH-02 which are also a similar price.

This is for my stepfather. He is extremely hard of hearing, and while he has good hearing aids, he sometimes finds them uncomfortable and prefers to use a little microphone-and-amplifier box with a pair of headphones attached.

Right now he uses a pair of Skullcandy Uprocks that he and my mom happened to buy in the store. It's kind of funny, an 80 year old guy wearing skulls on his ears. But my mom would like to get him a better pair, if only for comfort's sake. Something that would fit over his ears. Big old-man ears.

So... Something cheap, over ear, Treble is irrelevant - he won't hear any of it anyway; loudness is important, clarity is good.

I was thinking of just getting something like the ol' monoprice 8323 or these Tascams or something. But I'm open to suggestions, and if anybody knows of a headphone guide specifically for people who are very hard of hearing, that would be awesome.

Someone recommended these: https://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-TH02-B-Closed-Back-Stylish-Headphone/dp/B00B1N06PO over the $70 Sony ones I was looking at. Would those be suitable?
