I bought my second QC 25 for 120 Euro. That's a very good price! May I ask where you bought them? 4 minutes ago, Alexcremers said: 2) Battery of the 35 II is not removable.

A24 4,338 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I bought mine from a guy in my neighbourhood who sold it brand new because he got the QC 35 II as a present.

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I don’t really look at specs other than to determine power requirements. Only way to realize a good pair of headphones is to put them on and see if they work for you. Trial and error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different headphones cause different types of tinnitus. You just need to pick which tone you want to have in your ear for the rest of your life.

A24 4,338 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Tip: For the keyboardists that hate the noisy key action of their keyboards (I know I do), with a pair of noise cancelling headphones, all you hear is the piano or the sound of the instrument itself. It's simply fantastic! I no longer can live without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 The Casio Celviano ap-250 has noisy key action but never bothersome. Maybe I just have a high tolerance for it and other people can't stand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Okay all and fellow Apple peeps, need some help here and at a loss as to how to search for this... I gave my wife my iPod Classic and tonight I gave her the headphones that came with my iPhone X since I hate the apple headphones with a passion, always have... Anyways the headphones that came with the iPhone X have the lightning cable as we all know. Now can someone help me find an adapter so my wife can use those headphones with the iPod Classic? Since the classic still has the old 3.5mm jack. I'd appreciate the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyecks 33 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 So these are the ones I went for: A bit on the pricey side, but I was living rent-free for awhile so I was able to afford these. The bass response is awesome, the simulated surround could be better but it suits my needs nicely. When gaming, the microphone is clear, not boomy. My only issue was with the wired set and the mixer. The connection was awful and the wire kept slipping out. I returned those and went with the wireless ones. It fits all my needs that I needed it to. However, if you are going to use it for gaming on a console, you have to choose which one you will use because the mix for the Xbox pair will not work with PS4 and vice versa. You can, however, buy a separate base for the other console to fix that problem ($100). The base plugs into an optical out (I have one in the computer and one in the TV). When I want to use them for the PC, I plug it into that. If I want to use it for movies or TV, I plug it into the TV. The surround works wonders and the bass response is nice enough. The charge lasts quite long, I have gone all day watching movies for 10+ hours and only towards the end of that needed to charge them. At that moment, you can just plug in a micro-usb wire into the headset and the nother end into a USB outlet and they will charge while being used.

toothless 964 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Just switched from the ATH-MSR7 I bought in 2013 to… the ATH-MSR7b that's just been announced I just love how these headphones sound. Soundstage is great, clarity is there and the most important thing : these are neutral, they don't boost bass of high frequencies, etc. Type Dynamic Driver Diameter 45 mm Frequency Response 5-50,000 Hz Sensitivity 101 dB/mW Impedance 36 ohms https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/c4d0e2fba2520405/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'll probably stick with this setup for the rest of my life. It's hard to imagine how rich and warm they sound while resolving the most minute detail unless you hear th em( my best approximation is the Seinheiser HD 800 blanketed with a layer of lush warmness) The Fiio K3 DAC also contributed to elevating them even higher than I thought possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
