A24 4,322 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 They didn't feel that shrilly to me but then again I didn't take any music with me when I tested them. I was very unfamiliar with the iTunes selection at the store (mostly electronic dance music). They sounded indeed similar to an AKG model that I also tried but I preferred the build quality and the comfort of the beyers. They were also much better than the celebrated Beyerdynamic DT-770, which have seriously beefed up bass ... A hiphopper's dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 After a bit of research I've decided on this Bluetooth transmitter/reciever. Aventree Oasis Possible a bit of an overkill for just headphones, but its very versatile has low latency and has great range of up to 50 meters. And for bluetooth headphones I've decided on the Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT . Playing it a bit safe I guess, but I've never had a pair of Sennheisers that didn't sound excellent for its price. Its over the ear, open backed so quite suitable for orchestral music. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 It will be fine! You can still attach a wire to it, btw. You can with most of these Bluetooth headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I was after a pair of Sennheiser PXC-250 (or even better, the 250 II) travel headphones. I have a PX-200-II set but it seems to have died on me. These are great fold up ones, but I can't find any of them in retail without having to resort to dodgy foreign outlets with low user ratings on eBay. Anyone know what the modern equivalent is?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Set up my Bluetooth transmitter and paired my Sennheiser HD4.40 BT to it. Its sounds very good. This appears to be a really nice sounding headphone. And getting great distances from the transmitter. Alex appears to be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,322 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 To arm myself against 4 weeks of demolition works (the concrete complex behind my house), I decided get buy a secondhand Bose QuitComfort 25, which is a headphone set with noise cancellation. Only 110 Euro! And it sounds pretty good. If you don't believe me, read the reviews! But above anything, it reduces the sounds of the jackhammers by a considerable amount. I feel it drilling and hammering more than I can hear it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,322 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 'Acoustic Noise Cancelling' is one of the best inventions ever! I was playing the piano with my new headphones and at a certain moment I thought the demolition workers had stopped for the day. So I took off my headphones and suddenly I was surrounded by the sound of pneumatic drills. Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'll use the pair I got in the mail yesterday, and when those finally die, I'll open today's packet. Should set me for another 12 years of work/travel listening.
