Instead of a new thread, maybe I can squeeze a question in? What are some good quality noise cancelling headphones? I need them for drumming.
I'm the proud owner of a pair of Monster Beats by Dr. Dre. Although the price of them was steep, the sound quality is amazing. Bass notes don't blow your ear drums but sounds as if they threaten to. Treble is perfect. The only downfall I have found to them is the price. Most people say they are a ripoff but with quality items, you do pay for the brand/name printed upside them. If your looking for a great pair of headphones I highly recommended them. Just make sure you get the right model for your needs. And please stray away from cheaper models of Turtle Beach headphones. Those are made for gaming and voice chat.

Just personal preference, Finduszip. I don't like the W with the radiating waves on the side, or BRAINWAVZ hot stamped on the top. http://www.mp4nation.net/forum/f46/introducing-brainwavz-hm5-pro-studio-monitor-headphones-17057/
It's probably not a big deal. What matters most is the sound, and these sound great. These aren't exactly stylish headphones you'd want to wear on the streets anyway.
I'm pretty sure the HM5's are the exact same as the FA-003 sonically, just that they're rebranded.
I cannot count the number of in ear headphones, I have been through over the last few years - all of them have severely disappointed me to the point, that I had arrived at the belief, that you simply cannot buy any in ear headphone under 200 EUR and expect good sound.
I too look for the perfect one and even would be willing, to pay more, but there is this one bad issue of buying an expensive in ear headphone, just to find out, that it either doesn't fit your ear (always loosing it or even worse, hurting after a while or feeling uncomfortable) or just doesn't sound right.
I think, the best thing to do would be one of the custom-made in ear phone shapes combined with a one of these expensive sets of drivers, going into the 1000 EUR.
Near my place, there is no company, offering a custom fit service, so I am back to off the shelf stuff.
What are the nicest a) in ear, not noise canceling sets, b) small on ear, not noise canceling sets, one can buy for max 200 EUR?
I am mostly listening to progressive Rock, guitar music, Jazz,
I absolutely hate the bland, mushy (and sadly trendy) sound of dead, bass of the latest "trendy" phones.
I fell among others for a set of in ear beats some months ago and hated them after the first hours (crap materials and design of the in ear part, feeling uncomfortable and getting lost inside your ear !!!).
Beats should be forbidden - such bad stuff at this price point. Many of the ~30 − 50 EUR sets, I tried were not worse in sound, just didn't have the fancy cables and posh design.
Among the nicest, compact headsets, I remember using were the foldable Sony in ear sets, that came with the top of the line "Walkman" back in the early 90's.
Those Brainwavz headset dont look too bad, if those cushions are as soft as im assuming they are, i bet they are comfy. So far the most comfortable headsets ive ever worn is the XB series from sony.
Majority of gaming headsets have unnecessarily hard ear pads. I use the wireless headset from sony as well, but i can actually wear them for extended periods unlike Turtle Beach.

nick09I have a pair of passive noise cancelling headphones. It's called the Vic Firth SIH1. It usually retails for $60 new(you can find it for $50 new at some sites). This pair used to be my brother's and I took them before my brother threw them out(Part in the left speaker broke but still worked without distortion at 90% or less volume. The distortion comes when there are some loud bass at more than 90% volume). So far they are 10 years old and the ear pads only started to rip from wearing it over my glasses. It's advertised to cancel out 24 decibels. If you are just looking for a headphone without the speaker part then look at Vic Firth's Drummer Headphones.
Don't the ones with speakers have a big jack? I need the normal size that fits something like an iPhone.
bergaukThat headset has a normal jack.. Google it and check out the pictures for it.
I have and that's what it had.
nick09I'm kinda confused by your sentence. But to simply answer, yes, it has a 3.5mm jack and it comes with a 6.3mm jack adapter. The headphones also have a 10ft long cord. Though for it's intended purposes that is not a con.
nick09No it has a 3.5mm jack and it comes with a 6.3mm jack adapter.
Click the image below for a website that tells you it uses a 3.5mm jack.

hennessey86Just purchased a set of Turtle beach PX5 and they are brilliant and I highly recommend them
Turtle Beach headsets are for gaming and voice chat. As a pair of headphones for music, the dollar store can do better.
What other headphones have you listened to in that price range then?
Beats, Sennheiser and a few others and the PX5 are as good if not better
