Spent More Than $200 on Headphones

For some people, the $ 50 cheap headphones are pretty good, and I thought I was one of them.

And then one morning I woke up, I put on headphones on a pair of $ 299 - the BeoPlay H6, the second generation ($ 300 on Amazon) - and realized that he currently has that both Jon Snow headphones: nothing



I heard "hand covers the bruise" the score of the social network about 100 times, but I had never heard it opened as clearly as I did in the morning, I logged on my helmet H6 iPhone 6 Plus. I thought the Glitchy synthesizer would really be violin strings. He realized that he would never again buy a pair of headphones for less than $ 200.

Excellent audio quality
The saying "you get what you pay for" is certainly true for headphones. Different couples can achieve fantastic sound in many ways. Headphones Top quality, rugged, can be used with larger speakers that may contain the largest drivers (such as 40mm drivers that we find in some of the headsets we love) that produce a more accurate sound.

Some high-end headphones make their price for the sound and make voices and instruments more natural. The recordings of live music LCD sound system "Dance Yrself Clean" (Live at Madison Square Garden) "sound fantastic, with a spacious studio. Pat Mahoney's fast drums, James Murphy's tortured voice, and distorted bass come out of the speakers.

Thanks to its patented active noise cancellation, the Bose QuietComfort 35 ($ 349 compared to the Amazon) offers a totally immersive vacation experience. "All Night Long" by Lionel Richie and the light and choppy piano keys of "The Graceless" by The National.



Premium and thoughtful design
In addition to better sound quality, a pair of expensive headphones usually offers a beautiful design with high-quality materials. After all, these headphones are better and more comfortable with the cost. Climbing H6 Gen 2 my old Skullcandy Aviator ($ 107 on Amazon) felt close to the raw softness of being jumped pillowy is sewn seat of a Bentley Continental driver.

The H6 stroked the sides of my face with his cups of lambskin, frankly, some of the best material I've ever had. Although I just had it, it's clear that this is not the case with my cowboy band.


Where do you use them?
If you like to listen to your music in the privacy of your own home or backyard, you need to consider the Hifiman HE400S ($ 299 at Amazon) open headphones. They ensure the precise and balanced mix of low, medium and high tone resistance because the design of the media avoids hoods closed to prevent the audio from escaping. Even better, these headphones do not need an amplifier like many high-end headphones.

Look at your ports
Therefore, think about what the headset will connect to. Quality Control 35 and the Backbeat Pro2 are connected via Bluetooth, making them compatible with most devices, but the H6 uses traditional headphone jack 3.5mm. That means I'll have to buy an iPhone 7, Z Force Moto Droid or Z or an upcoming phone leaving the analog connection.

For the future of high-quality headphones test, check the version of the Audeze Sine ($ 495 on Amazon) includes headphones a flash plug. These cans created a spacious soundscape with clear and powerful high and midbass, and the company could have recharged twice as much.
