Audio Your first headphones

[bennysachdev]

A lot like harshit's thread on http://www.techenclave.com/audio-zone/the-first-pair-iems-your-bought-190933.html

But about your pair of cans

I'll kick off the topic with My first pair of cans, the Grado Sr80i.

I had purchased it from Amazon for 99$ as there were no local dealers back then.

^ You never used headphones before you got the SR80i ? :O

Some people upgrade from speakers to headphones.

I had these, the Sony MDR-IF140 Infrared Cordless Headphones.

My first would be these ones: eBay India: Techcom Headphone with Mic For PC/Laptop SSD-HP-202 (item 320698295955 end time 19-May-2011 14:10:22 IST) El Cheapo is an understatement

I had bought them for the exact same price as listed here . I think the brand was Frontech though. Used them till they cracked. Obviously graduated to better ones after that

^ My first headphones , bought for 250 from local store. Sounded much better than crappy intex stuff and lasted more than 2 years .

Finally got my first pair of real cans in the form of Sennheiser HD201 . Then came Philips SHP-9000, Denon AH-D2000 and a full stop at AH-D5000

Sony MDR-XD200 .... the bass is insane :jumpy:!!

By the looks of it, the thread-title should be "The first respectable head-phone youve purchased".

In that case, I started my respectable can journey from Creative HS-900 (ordered from US via newegg).

Even the IEM thread seems on a similar note, when someone has said first purchase RE0 (while he has mentioned ep630 in siggy)

 

[intacto]

my first and still using iball rocky....

 

[unreal_ishan]

Some cheapass Jupiter headset that i had won in a Digit contest

Then came a slew of Intex and Frontech headphones that didnt last...

The SHP2700 and then the ATH-M50

Never owned. Always had a sony hi-fi system and creative speakers for my audio needs. The grado were my first headphones

MDR-XD100 (same as the 200's without volume control) / Sony MDR-7506 (ones that sasha & pvd used to use back then - built like tanks) / Sennheiser HD201 (love these lil buggers still using them) / Ultrasone HFI 780 / Currently - JVC 700's (decent cans for the price) miss the 780 sometimes.

My first pair of good cans was Sony MDR XD100. Bought it for 1k around 2-3 years ago and still use them mainly for watching movies. Lack of bass makes them useless for music. WOnder how long they'll last
