I know the Sony XM5s are getting a ton of hype right now, but after my M4s just bricked after barely 4 months i've decided i aint buyin shit until its been out for at least a few years so i can see how they hold up
so, fellow commie audiophile dorks, what headphones are yall using/recommending?
idk if this is the anti-sennheiser-aktion thread, but I do have some. I have been using the RS-195's since just before this website launched.
They are digital RF headphones with optical cables to the transmitter. Fuck bluetooth. They are technically for TV listening and have pitch adjustment options for hearing impairments, but I keep all of that off. They are nice comfy lightweight over-ear closed-back headphones that charge on the transmitter/dock. I also like that the batteries are just Ni-MH AAA's so you can swap them if you let them run out. The earpads also come off and you can replace them every couple of years for 10 bucks. And there are volume buttons on the headset. Also, the range is quite a bit better than bluetooth.
The transmitter also have a 3.5mm jack. It's awesome to be able to toggle between optical and 3.5mm for my weird 2-person sound setup I have here.
Also they sound great, there's no sound compression like some bluetooth headphones especially headsets.
