I've seen them in store many a time and haven't tried em yet but I oughta. SR009 m8

Lagoon and aventho. For the beyers. Leaning aventho between the 3.

Yes. I discovered pretty quick that in ears are not for me.

Lady in shop recced those out of the 3, but they were all very very good.

1350 is exceptionally good given its a supra-aural/on ear design. Probably still among the best on ears you can buy and they don't cost that much. The problem is that kind of design is not comfortable for long periods for most people. Beyer have the T51p which is essentially the consumer version of the DT1350 with plusher pads and a slightly more V shaped sound, so if you wanted on ears they would be worth trying.

As far as the similarity with the 770, Beyer do have a pretty distinctive house sound so there are parallels but the over vs on ear means they are still pretty different on the technicalities front.

Audeze do the Sine, an on ear that is really punchy and pretty comfortable. Pricy though.

If comfort is a big factor and the mic integration is something you want, Vmoda have the M100 and the wireless/wired successor the Crossfade 2. There is an entry point on either cup for the cable and they also sell a custom mic that fits them. I have the M100 and they are pretty V shaped but easy to listen to; kind of what Beats should have been. I have the M100 and despite having better cans I have kept them as they are really well built, fold away nicely and are comfortable for long periods. They also have an on ear variant which is quite good.

Lemme know your price range and I can recommend a few to listen to. Always demo them first with your music if you can.

T51i was I think the inline mic version, so should be the same I think.

Second hand for headphones is usually fine; if you go through the more headfi specific classifieds like audioshark you get people who have really looked after their gear. You will probably want a pair of XL pads as well, much more plush and comfy (though the original pads are fine).

M100/Crossfade are built like tanks, steel construction. If you go down the line the Audio Technica M series are good, M70x is probably within your budget and are good and sturdy.

Sounds like removable cable is a good idea if you'll be using them around the house, likely to snag on something. Unless you want wireless but the cost goes up while quality goes down in general, has improved an awful lot though.

Beyers are also really well built. Again I'd see if there are any audio gear places near you and try to audition some things. If not, M70x, M100, Beyer T51 are all good choices and suit your aims I think. Beyers don't have removable cable however but I've never had a problem with them.

Another question, I can't seem to find an audio store in LA that has both of them. They don't seem to carry those brands most of the time. Big fan of audeze though.
Maybe because Best Buy and Guitar Center have them (but online only) 

When I look up the t51i on amazon, it says a newer version is available, the Aventho and that comes in brown which looks good and does have tesla something. Which I think the t51p had, but the i lost. Might be wrong on that though. Can I just trust Amazon when they say this is the new version? Price is still $199 for wired, they have it wireless too

Just checked but Melbourne ain't a stop on the way to Paris.

I might be looking at the wrong places, I just checked websites for the top 10-15 audio stores on yelp. There are plenty with headphones but all different brands. Thought it might have been because it's not America enough but vmoda has it's headquarters in California, lol.

Both Best Buy and Guitar Center have "pick up at store" options, so they're in a warehouse somewhere. I might have to see what the return policy is and just order them.
I'm trying the 770's now and they make me really want to compare them to on ears, as the edge of the cans is sitting right where my jaw ends and now I can't yawn properly...

I actually just want the Aventho now as I really like that look...

The vmoda m100 are "noise isolating", both beyers (t51 and aventho) are not noise canceling I think. But I don't care that much about it, when I tried B's 880 I missed the timer for the rice and with his 770 now I don't hear the vacuum robot.

I'm not actively looking for noise canceling, I think it's scary tbh. I couldn't even hear my own voice with the Sony's you mentioned a couple days ago!

Aventho seems to be the evolution of the DT1350/T51 model. The tesla bit is just the magnetic induction uni wotsit for the wee neodymium magnets in the headphone cups that help drive the diaphragm to make the soundies. They decided to use it as part of their branding for some reason

If you don't care about the tech (Bluetooth, NC), I imagine you'd do we'll with the Aventho wired cos again the DT1350 is fantastic so if it builds on that I'm sure it will be solid.

I'll still be buying new shinies, but lol.

Lost old shitty in ears. Remembered I still had the ones that came with my oppo.

They much much nicer. Win.

Will do Skerret, I've ordered them this morning but won't be able to try them for two weeks. My brother checked EU stores and they're more expensive there too. I wonder why they dropped to $179,- on Amazon, they're more expensive everywhere else.

The wireless have some nice functions, B was hoping for the "personal sound configuration" where it would play some sounds and you need to tap when you hear them. He wasn't intrigued by it enough to buy them though, I'll be going wired.

I need a new pair of in ears for use with my phone

Hmm, I'm not so sure, these have been my work headphones and shared many a desk for 10 hours a day
Admittedly not real leather, but stood up fine, and got them free with a phone about six years back at least

Sounds good Nina, share impressions once you get em.

They are really good! Just a shame that I'm not feeling well since getting back, incl an ear infection or something similar.

Was listening to Lamb yesterday and it was like she was singing right next to you. Amazing.

Also tried to catch up with the music thread, and Tempy posted a Mastodon album, which had a song on it that has a sound going around you. Was impressed by that!

They're very comfortable, eating while having them on still feels a bit weird though. They cancel out noises well enough, but in between songs I can still hear environment noise, so I know when the laundry is done etc.
The way they're built is silent too, no weird noise coming from any hinges when they move. I had that with some other brands that I tested.

B's impressed too, he did notice the more v shaped sound you mentioned, compared to his 770, but said it never messes up the song, if that makes sense.

The only thing I could see that would annoy people, especially when you carry them around a lot, is that the cups touch each other while folded. They come with foam in between them from the factory, but that is just a little loose piece. Reviews mentioned this most times, and it could mean there will be scratches if you have them in the pouch a lot.


Oh, it worked really well with Thumper on the Switch (handheld mode) too! Now I only need to test how it plays via the ps4 controller.
