3 Best Headphones Under $100

[ivansalazarm.]

The M40x´s were my first pair of actually good headphones and they made me fall in love with flat sound even tho I felt "dissapointed" in my first use because I did not know what to expect, I was used to V sound

[P-U-S-S]

the polished version of Zeos. HAH! dude you're surely gonna blow up. some of the best headphone reviews ive seen.

[chillazar]

I bought the M40X for riding my bike and I was shocked at how they stacked up against my K712, especially when I listen to them without the ambient sound of riding my bike. They sound very different but the K712 cost around 200€ and the M40X around 90€ and I like them almost equally.

Just earned yourself a sub! Somebody who is clearly knowledgable who explains audio concepts on even budget headphones super well, thank you!

[nothing]

thanks, audio wizard
I like how you arent one more snob...too much of them everywhere

Phillips are super comfy. The mid and highs are amazing for the price. And they suck donkey hooves for bass. Hope I helped at least 1 person.

The Philips SHP9500 is definitely a force to be reckon with

I have the Philips 9500 in this video, the bass is just there if you plug them into any decent jack, and use an aftermarket gold plater 4 pin auxiliary cable, and enable an equalizer to have full control of the at least 60Hz slider, just raise it up to your liking, and then the bass is more present, and deeper, or just enjoy the sound completely stock

I'd like to add something about the m40x headphones. I own a pair and i think they are great for casual music listening too. I mean they don't sound boring like some other monitoring cans do. Yes, they are soooo flat but somehow they are a joy for music listening

that "I intend to win" line was so fucking cold haha

My headphone of choice is the Sennheiser HD 4.50. I never see these in anybody's "favorite" lists, but for me, they are a good do-it-all pair of headphones. May not be the best, but for a noise-canceling, bluetooth (or cable) headphone, I really like the sound, and the comfort is... well, OK.

[SeaOtterGamer]

I've got the Philips SHP9500 and I can definitely recommend. I use them for gaming, but they work well for music as well.

[YetiMacheteHD]

Your patrion isn't in the description.

I just got a set of Sennheiser HD 520 for $60 USD! I saw another ad for the same ones for $900! Got quite a bargain!

The general consensus regarding mixing/mastering (ie analytical) duties is that open and semi-open headphones are better suited than closed back, which tend to suffer from low frequency buildup and narrow soundstage. In light of that, both the Superlux and the Philips would be a better choice than the ATs for music production use (provided you have a quiet environment). For those who say mixing /mastering on headphones is a huge no-no and studio monitors are the way to go, the world's finest monitors won't be of much help in an untreated room. Open and semi-open headphones are the next best thing.

After owning the superluxes for a year i can say that they are great. But a big downside is the BIG lack of bass :(

[joshblank]

The Phillips SHP9500 is a beast. Most comfortable headphones I’ve ever used. Built like a tank. The sound is perfection (slightly mid & high forward, slightly bass subdued). Perfect for rock and metal. Clarity, imaging, soundstage is great

I rank them with the best in my collection. They can compete with $200 headphones

Also, love the removable single cable

I got ATH-PRO5X not long ago for 85 Euros and really love them. The choice was between them and M40X and it was a hard one because there's barely any reviews for PRO5X. Eventually after reading through Amazon reviews I noticed that many people praise the comfort of PRO5X and when it came to M40X quite a few people were complaining that they were uncomfortable, so that sealed the deal. They're also easy to drive, can get realy loud just from my phone, the bass is powerful and detailed, which made me really happy. Still sometimes wonder if I shouldn't have gotten M40X though, would be interesting to see someone compare them.
