Have a look at Audio Technica ESW9's.

I've heard nothing but good things about them. Some people even use them as their primary listening headphones, even though they're portable.

So I've been trying to figure this out, but have not found a solution:

My TV has no headphone jack, I've read all the FAQs about them and yes; I have an adapter.

However, My TV has about 4 different sets of RCA inputs. #2 is on the front and #1 3 and 4 are on the back. When I try to plug in my headphones using the adapter in the back and my 360 in the front I hear nothing. This is probably because they're different inputs, but I can't see how to have both on the same input so the headphones WORK... Any help? Thanks...




(I've used my phones on a friends TV for Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 and they sound AMAZING... Too amazing, I suck on CoD4 without them because I rely on them to tell me when someone is coming up behind me...)

Wrong cable dude. You need female on the RCA end as you plug the Xbox's red and white RCA jacks into the adapter. You need one of these and one of these.

Ooooh... I understand now

I should have listened to your wise words, Scott. Skullcandys are so cheaply made its redic. I`ve had 2 pairs of them now ( GI and Hesh) and both times within 2 weeks the extending part has snapped from normal wear. I called up a local company today and ordered a pair of Grado Sr80s. I`m very excited. Should be here tomorrow : )

If the SR80's are anything like the SR60's (they are) , then you will be thoroughly happy with your headphones. I LOVE THE SR60's. (and that's a bottom tier headphone too.)

1. $20-$50
2. 100% music
3. Post-rock, noise rock, punk, post-punk, alternative, ambient, electronica, progressive, shoegaze, hip-hop, indie, psychedelic rock, singer/songwriter, etc.
4. idk

There are no good closed headphones for $50. :[

Why do you need closed?

Denon D1000/D1001 (they're the same) are my favourite $100 closed headphones.
