Thread Starter 
Hy guys,
So I want to my a new pair of headphones as I really fin the ones that came with my phone uncomfortable.

I was thinking these (Audio Techncia C505) may be good.
What are your thoughts?
Also, it would be helpful if I know what should I look for when searching headphones, what do those specs mean..impedance, sensitivity etc.
Oi!

I'd like to hear from someone who knows what their doing too haha, not to jack your thread. I've always wanted to know if that stuff is just BS like monitors/tv or do they actually mean something.

IDK anything about the ones in the OP, but I have THESE and would highly recommend them. They come with three different sized ear pieces, a carrying case for when they are not in use and sound amazing.


ETA: If you want to learn more about audio gear I would suggest starting HERE.

I own these, one of the best purchases I've ever made. Awesome earbuds, great sound quality, bass, build quality. They're just all around great.

I own the Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 earphones and like them a lot. The price on them can fluctuate a lot. For the last two years, Amazon has been doing a deal of the day on them around Black Friday for $100. They easily compete with IEMs in the $200-300 range.

They also have replaceable cables, which Logitech will send for free while under warranty and can otherwise be purchased for $20.

I owned these, unfortunately my problem was even with the different sized ear pieces they just wouldnt stay in my ears frown.gif and if you dont get a good seal with any IEMs you're going to have a bad time..sounded fantastic however and if they fit, they're my recommendation for IEMs

I returned them and got the Klipsch Image Ones for better audio quality, and went back to my Shure IEMs which while arent as good in terms of audio quality, fit better in my ears for whatever reason...
