Looking for a solid quality set of wired headphones to plug into my turntable. I am by no means an audiophile and am not looking to break the bank. Just want a nice pair that is going to provide a quality listening experience. Any recommendations?
My advice, if you're looking for over-the-ear headphones, would be:
1. Pick a set with an easily replaceable cord. Nothing worse than having to toss an expensive set of headphones because of a wear & tear part that was hard wired. 2. Watch out for plastic movable parts. These are instant beak points. I once had a set of reasonably expensive Shure headphones that twisted at the ear piece and these broke within a few months. 3. Avoid sets that enhance or distort a specific part of the frequency spectrum. That's what EQ is for.
Brand-wise i've had a couple pairs of Sennheisers that have been great. I've had to replace the cord a number of times on each but it's a cheap fix. I have headphones on +/- 8 hours a day so ymmv on the replacement rate. I've had a set of HD477's for well over 10 years, and HD 598SE's for about 3 or 4 years. Both have been excellent.
