What headphones would you want for Christmas?

[Cicero]

I now have mixed reviews about the Beats by Dre Headphones, I read some reviews and it seemed split. Also, what are the tech aspects of the Beats by Dre Studio, Pro, and Executive headphones? Like the dB\mW and ohm? I'm tired of hearing the stupid argument of "Dont get them cause they're overpriced".

ean the biggest kind of headphones they have.

Not only are beats overpriced, they are awful sounding and incredibly dangerous. You could just get away with the small beats that you can wear around your neck, but the large ones are much worse.
1) People will want to take them from you with the lovely "b" symbol around your neck
2) The insane way it isolates sound means you'll be unaware of what's going on outside such as cars across a road or someone coming from behind you
and 3) They are known to cause hearing damage. (I know this is arguable for many headphones but the volume on beats are much louder.)

If I were you, I wouldn't buy them. But back to the question.

Considering all of these, if you would still like to waste your money, I'd go for the cheapest one here, studio I think. In fact, go for the most common one which is the smaller version. Even the in-ear headphones are better since they don't tangle. But anyway, out of these three, Studio. Remember there's always an equally good quality pair of Skullcandy's or Seinheiser headphones in your local supermarket for 1/4 of the price.

A pair of Bluetooth Earbuds. Not sure which brand, I guess whichever works best

[Person_Of_Interest]

Audio Technica ATM50's, they're just what I want because my earbuds just won't work anymore after the abuse I put them through by listening to skrillex really loud and because I make Dance/Electronic music on the computer and blew one of the little speakers :)

[Silicate Wielder]

A pair of 7.1 Digital surroundsound headphones. preferably sound isolating :rolleyes:

[Blueeyes]

Some Sennheiser HD 380 pros would be great for me... don't need them though, I've got my XB500's :D

[Silver Fox]

They're a bit on the expensive side but they are amazing! The Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones. I got them for cheap because my uncle works there and even if I had to pay the full price I would still be very happy with them!

[trystan10]

New beats earbuds

[KrazyBoi95]

I would Beats by Dr. dre :)

[Foamy]

My uncle ordered me beats so I'm not complaining... But I'd take any plain old earbuds that AREN'T skullcandy. I had two and they both broke on me.

[CharlieHorse]

I would like anything except beats.

[ProudConservative]

I love Beats, they're awesome and I want them. Skullcandies suck.

[Steve Jobs]

Eh, beats are overrated.
I like all the studio brands, Sennheiser, AKG, Beyerdynamic. It's all up to what you need em for.

[Snookers]

Sennheiser CX 400-II Precision

Beats are yuck, buy AKG, Sennheiser, Bose...basically anything but beats.

[nitrogamer]

razer tiamat 7.1 for gaming, logitech clearchat wireless for skype and stuff, meze 73 classic for studio use, and steelseries flux for listening to music in a group on your phone or something. but generally anything is fine for anything. but DONT get beats, or astros, or i dont know, just get anything that is not overpriced.

I already got what I always wanted. A Beyerdynamic DT990 250ohm. Yayyy :D xD

anyway for gaming get a Audio Technica AD700 or AKG K701 if you can afford and for music get a Audio Technica M50.

I have no problem with the $10 off-brand ones at my local electronics store.
