If you are like, sound-engineering or something like that, you need at the very least wired headphones. The gap between wired and wireless is still **ing gigantic, especially at the highest qualities. If you just want a pair of headphones for your phone, Anything in your price range will probably do fine. Ones I'd suggest Skullcandy's are good if you have a tight budget (~ or less than 100$) but if your willing to pay more than basically the bare minimum for headphones its worth going elsewhere. Beats aren't worth the like 300$ they cost, but if you can find them cheaper they are still good (I got mine for a little over 100$ and they're top-tier headphones as far as 100$ goes) Senheiser's of any kind are pretty high quality Sony XM3/XM4 are supposed to be basically the peak wireless headphones you can buy, though they get pretty expensive (like 3-400$) <cite>Proto_Spark posted [p:968306874] in How do you...

FaultyCircuitry 09/26/22 1:41:06 PM #10:	Wireless is almost always going to have sound quality drawbacks. If you want them for music, wired open back over the ear with a neutral sound profile are what you want. My pair of Sennheiser HD 58x are great for music listening. A bit of EQ tweaking and they sound amazing. I've found them really awkward for any games that rely on directional sound like Apex Legends tho. I keep my old HD 558s around for if it's really bothersome. --- And I'd never do it but it's not a joke; I can't tell the difference when I'm all alone // https://www.last.fm/user/crushedaria ~[she/her\|they/them]~ <cite>FaultyCircuitry posted [p:968306922] in How do you...

Proto_Spark 09/26/22 1:45:25 PM #13:	Doe posted... why is the gap between wired and wireless so high? Trying to transfer the sound wirelessly without losing data will just never be as effective as doing it via a cable. Though its worth noting that unless you're like, an audiophile, you probably won't notice. Most wireless earbuds or headphones outside of literally the cheapest stuff sound fine to even good, and if you intend to use your headphones while you say, take the bus to school/work or whatever, the convenience of no wires can easily be worth the decline in sound quality you might not even notice. <cite>Proto_Spark posted [p:968307043] in How do you...
