You know that feeling when you have your headphones on and somebody is talking to you and then your stomach starts to hurt, because you don't want to put down your headphones because the music is great and your headphones plays it really good?

The post
I cannot code without headphones on. I'm currently on a longterm journey to find the best over-the-head budget headphones for coding, just out of curiosity, I started with cheap Phillips headphones for a couple of euros (9 or 10 i don't rem.), I would say they are usable, for a casual user, but far-far from the best

Then i purchased a Sennheiser HD451 for like 3x the price of the Phillips, really good. I use them in work and wanted to go on with the comparison so i bought a ATH m30x for home, and for gods sake, they are soo fucking good, way better what i would expect from a budget headphone, it cost twice the price of the Sennheiser.

Whats your "daily driver"? What would you suggest to try next?

note: before these I was using earbuds which came with my cellphones and 2.1 systems

    I'm currently using the ATH-PG1 headset at pc and the aiaiai tma2 with Bluetooth for on-the-go. But when coding I like it more to have music from my stereo on low volume instead of having the headphones on the whole time.

    Call me a fanboy but I got the beats studio wireless from best buy. I only use the wireless for my phone because dealing with pairing triggers me.

    LOVE THEM, grabbed a new cord from Amazon and I can even use em on my Xbox and talk on the mic.

    Amazing quality and while their noise canceling (when not listening to music) is meh...even the lowest volume of music and you escape the world.

    I've got my headphones from a Dutch startup. It's pretty much a HaaS thingy, Headphones as a Service.

    I pay 5 euro a month and then whenever something breaks I get a free replacement (with return envelope) sent which mostly arrives within two days.

    I break headphones very easily so this is fucking ideal for me!

    The quality is great if you ask me.

    I use a cheap pair of less than £20 headphones.

    Hear me out

    They are the best fucking pair of headphones I’ve ever listened to for less £50 pounds, love you jam transit.

    I have a Razer Kraken. Pretty cheap, high quality and good sound.
