[dba-Tech] Friday OT: Headphones

Hi Gustav,
I'm looking for good wireless headphones. I have a pair from Sennheiser.
Which have pretty good sound quality but the controls are poor and crackle
when I adjust them. The volume control cuts the left side off in certain
volume settings. 

I bought a cheap pair from a big box store and there are fairly awful. The
base unit is battery powered only and the batteries do not last long. If the
microwave is running they get interference(?)

Given your experience, maybe I should buy a pair and a long cord? I would
probably forget the cord though and wander through the house pulling my
headset off!

Hi all

As you may know, you can get headphones at ridiculous prices well beyond
$1K. These are aimed at hi-fi buffs with too much money.

Finally, after many years, I found it was time for a set of pro headphones,
and a little searching revealed this page:

     http://www.studioheadphonereview.com/krk-kns8400-studio-headphones/

As you can see, this is a top-notch product as rated by studio pros at 1/10
the price, so I ordered a set.

I must have looked happy listening to some of my favourite music because
wife asked if she could have them for a test. Of course.
And here comes the advice: Don't do that. I hardly haven't seen them since
except on my lovely Rita's head. It is a new world for her. As she mostly
listen to classic music, I think she is right.

The reviews are true. Listening is sheer pleasure with these KRK KNS8400 -
it's really top value for the money. I may have to order another set.
