Comment on Hundreds of Millions of Audio Devices Need a Patch to Prevent Wireless Hacking and Tracking
hector@lemmy.today 1 day agoYou can hardly find wired headphones now. When you do they are junk. I want a sturdy headphone where they did not save every penny making the wire near microscopic, cheap joints, etc.
Paying more does not mean it is quality either.
Recording musicians use them for monitoring. Bluetooth has too much latency when you are trying to keep your groove in the pocket.
I’m finding lots of great 10-15 yo used recording gear/tech that was originally $200+, going for cheap, like less than $50, because it doesn’t have Bluetooth, which you don’t want with recording gear anyway.

Shop where the musicians shop.
Just see mondrop chu c2 for 20$ destroying 150$ Bluetooth earphones.
Go to where the audiophiles are. There are plenty of headphones and IEMs (earbuds) under $50 (and even $25) that sound fantastic. My favs that I actually tried are the MOONDROP Chu 2 $23, Koss KSC75 $20, and the Sennheiser HD 600 (which I got on eBay for like $250). Check out the audiophile subreddit, there are plenty of people who have made ranking lists.
Yeah if youre buying headphones on Amazon or Walmart, you’ll get shit.
I refuse to shop at either of those places for anything really. Wish others would be brave enough to do so as well and stop giving billionaires money for no reason.
What’s your budget? over ears or earbuds? if over ears open back or sealed?
Idk, 20, 40, more if needed if it will hold up to use at work. I usually get the sports ones that have the ear loop so you don’t have to constantly put earbuds back in the ear.
Ah yes its hard to build quality headphones for that little.
in that price range I’d buy some chifi IEMs like the zero:2
How much for quality headphones then? Especially like earbuds with the sports clip that loops on the ear so they don’t fall out, to be able to use for work and running and such? If it lasts I will pay more. The more expensive stuff I’ve bought has broken as soon as the cheaper stuff.
The Sony XM3 and other headphones in the series are a great option since you don’t have to choose, they have a headphone jack so you can go wired if you want.
By wired do you mean exclusively RCA or do you count usb as well? Both pair of my Sennheisers work via USB if you plug it in.
I have only had 3.5 mm jacks, which never work with my phones somehow but work for mp3 and computer. Mp3 has both 3.5mm jack and micro or c usb for charging, transferring.

Beyer dt 770. Very tough.
My mains are those, grado rs2, and senn hd595. Some sony md7506 but I hate the sound on them.
