Re: What kind of headphones are you using?

2003-04-26 by Nick Carroll

Hey, UN.H.  This is just a P.S. to my reply regarding headphones. My 
stepson, who works as a DJ and uses the Sennheiser HD-25s, has moved 
out of home and taken them with him.  Luckily he is also store 
manager at a music retailer and managed to get me a pair for $500 
Australian, which is about $US300.  The price I quoted previously 
($475 Australian) is actually the wholesale value.  Nathan tells me 
he would normally sell a pair for $800 ($US480).  That might sound a 
lot to pay but these headphones are top of the range, and I'm 
wondering what sound quality you are getting out of your very much 
cheaper phones. If you are looking to buy a new pair, I'd recommend 
you take a listen through the Sennheisers.  You might be amazed at 
how much better they sound than what you are accustomed to.
