I took this from an old post I made using a post template from reddits headphone community.

Budget: I think I would like to stay around $50. But if they are a truly good investment I’ll go up to $100. If they would change my life up to $120.

Source: Bluetooth/wireless. I will listen on my iPhone.

Requirements for Isolation. Will you be using these Headphones in Public?: I think I would like medium isolation as these will be in public. It is safer to be able to hear my surroundings while also indicating to others not to talk to me in the train.

Preferred Type of Headphones: I suppose over the ear. Wireless earbuds make me nervous they’ll fall out

Preferred tonal balance: I love me some some bass! I want sweeping jazz orchestras to blow me away.

Past headphones: I had my Bluetooth Panasonic RP-HTX80B. They served me years. Before that I had the same kind but wired for even more years. I also had two pairs of JLab Bombara matte brown. They got a lot of use till they broke. They weren’t very durable. Did not last years lol

I am very careful with my headphones. It’s telling that both my Panasonics lasted that long and not the JLabs. They were all nice overall, but I wished they fit better. They never sat close enough to my ear to get that strong bass. They were alright.

Preferred Music: I listen to everything. From R&B to Motown, Golden Oldies to Metal, movie soundtracks to jazz.

Here are samples of my general taste in music: Agape | Nicholas Britell

Respiration | Black Star

Them Bones | Alice In Chains

Sunlight | Esperanza Spalding

Be Ever Wonderful | Earth Wind and Fire

I suppose I want something that can handle sweeping jazz and R&B, and some strong bass as well. Of all these songs, I would want Be Ever Wonderful to sound like absolute perfection if that helps. I would just die if it sounded as good as possible.

What would you like to improve on from your set-up: Everything. Just set me on the right path.

I posted before elsewhere but got no hits.

    Why is there an app for some of these models? Or that’s what I read. I’m looking at prices and such now.

    Edit: oooh you got an equalizer on the app. That’s pretty sweet. I am leaning toward the q45 honestly. I deserve fancy headphones lol

    I wonder if it’s really that much better than 35s

      Yeah and noise canceling controls. It’s one of the better apps for headphones. Not as good as Sony, better than bose.
