$200 And Under Crack Headphones For A Friend
on:
October 03, 2014, 09:02:13 AM
One of my buddies wants to go back to vinyl and headphones. He says he likes to listen loud. I'm going to build a Crack for him, he has no skills in this area.
So I'm looking for recommendations for rocking headphones in the $200 range.
Thanks in advance.
I had hit the Crackheadphone link and it was dead. I see it on the product page. That is a good option. Will it rock?

I went to the Crackheadphone folder and looked at the second sticky. This one gives 404:

Kris,
Great! I'll start feeding my buddy, Steve, this information.
Those look good and have a goodly drop in price.

It's probably worth pointing out that the Crackheadphones are $119 when ordered with a Crack.

Joshua, I didn't realize that they were still available as a combo.
So thanks! I'll start working on Steve about the combo.

I have been looking for affordable high impedance headphones to go with the Crack and Koss is typically the only one that satisfies this requirement.
Koss MV1
- 250 ohm
Koss Pro-4AA
- 250 ohm
Koss Pro-4AAT
- 250 ohm
Koss Pro-4AAAT
- 250 ohm
All of them available for less then $100. At some point I saw the
Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250 ohm
for $150 but then I think they realized what they were selling and the price went back up to $220.

Steve and I had opted for the Bottleheadphone. Then he said he didn't need another hobby about a week ago.
