Karozeff Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 So as the title says, my friend wants something that is on-ear. Mainly listens to rap/hip hop and big-room. Currently he's considering the overrated and overpriced beats solo 2. You can offer earphones too.

skullguise Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Man, I'm fucking old. I had to look up what big-room was. And it solidifies my thoughts that a lot of new music just sucks....even to the point where it shouldn't be called music. From Wikipedia (highight mine) Quote Big room house is a subgenre of electro house music. Since the mid-2010s it has become one of the most popular forms of electronic dance music. It is regarded as a combination of progressive house, electro house and electro techno .... A typical big room house track features bass-heavy kicks, with minimal musical elements and sometimes only a syncopated supersaw or percussion .... The genre has been criticized by several musicians, describing it as 'stereotypical EDM sound lacking originality and creativity', and that it sounds homogenous. Mixmag described the genre as composing of "titanic breakdowns and spotless, monotone production aesthetics". Wolfgang Gartner described the genre as a "joke", and disregarded it, alongside conglomerates such as SFX Entertainment, as "digestible cheap dance music". In mid-2013, Swedish duo Daleri posted a mix on SoundCloud entitled "Epic mashleg", consisting purely of drops from 15 "big room" songs on Beatport's charts at the time (including artists such as Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Hardwell, and W&W) played in succession. The intent of the mashup was to serve as a commentary on the "big room" movement and the lack of differentiation between tracks; member Eric commented that "the scary thing is that there are new tracks like this every day. Every day, new tracks, all the same. It just keeps coming all the time." Edited December 26, 2017 by skullguise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Tell your friend to keep what he has. The Beats Solo 2 is a decent headphone. It has a warm, strongly bass-tilted, but very even FR that is tuned by professionals to make average hip-hop recordings sound great at loud volumes. It's not a peaky or distorted sounding headphone. For its intended purpose he won't find a better on-ear as most of those suck ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 What? No, Beats suck. You know musicians have jumped the shark when they make ironic music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) To their defense I actually thought those new Solos were okay when I tried em. As a fun head-banger. To warm for anything critical. Better for sure than Sennheiser's muddy, bright Momentum mess though. The rest of the Dr Dre lot certainly does suck.

wink Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 For that genre of music (and the term is used extremely loosely here) It wouldn't really matter if you got two empty tin cans and affixed some iBuds in the bases...... You also need to get a coat hanger and use it as a headband...... I have been giving this a lot of deep thought since my last post and have come to the sad conclusion that your mate needs somewhat more than a miracle........ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penmarker Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 For on ears I've never failed to recommend JVC HA-S500. Good for hip hop and those big boom songs. Cheap as frig, buy 4-5 and throw them around the house, into your work bag, at the office, everywhere. Low impedance, high sensitivity, can drive to deafening levels straight out of phone or computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think calling something popular since the mid-2010s is insane since that was like, last year. And thank god penmarker was able to keep up his streak of never failing to recommend five pairs of the same headphone which are exceptional at making you deaf.
