I'm not sure.  I think it's "fair" - but I usually buy a lot
more - quantity and items.  Some of their closeout deals are
really good.

Do any of you folks wear hearing aids?
I would have to listen without the hearing aids or I would get feedback etc.

[MBZ] OT - headphones - REDphones

2018-12-18 Thread fmiser via Mercedes
If any of you folks are in the market for a really good sounding
pair of headphones, I highly recommend these:
https://www.newark.com/stellar-labs/ho-5960/full-size-dj-headphones/dp/52W8580

Smooth midrange, strong bass, accurate highs, comfortable to wear
for hours, do not seal out room sounds (open-back), rather long
(not coily) cable with 3.5mm connector and screw-on 1/4" adapter.

I have listened to a lot of headphones over the years, and have
some pretty decent ones that I tested these against.  These sound
_almost_ as good as my 1990's vintage Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro.
And better than any headphones I know of that are less than a few
hundred dollars.  And these are less than $25.

Their biggest faults are:
* exaggerated bass (but not sloppy, just a bit too much)
* bright red  (around here, nicknamed REDphones)

I have been using them for a couple years.  A friend got a pair
almost a year ago for their 11 year old to use - and they are
still working!  I find that rather remarkable.

Bass players and drummers seem to really like them as "monitors"
while playing. (connected to IEM system, or a personal mixer, or
practice)

I have no affiliation, I'm just thinking there are some here who
share my interest in good sounds.

I find Newark a bit of a pain to deal with, but I keep ordering
these REDphones anyway.
