What kind of Headphones do you wear when playing?

#1 13th April 2008, 11:41 PM

Hey, another quicky question. What type/brand headphones do you fellowz wear when at the tables in real life or online? I know when I play live tournies, i sometimes take my Bose Tri-ports ($150 at Best Buy). They sound good, and done quite cost as much as the QC2's or QC3's. However, when playing online on my lap top, I wear my "babies." My Sony Mdr-V6's ($70 online). The sony's are cheaper, but sound probably as good as anything you can find.

The ones that come with the ipod!! they stand out enough so that everyone knows your listening to an ipod so you are more likely to get mugged

I've got a set of dead sexy AKG K141 studio headphones (hangover from my music days), set me back a few hundred bucks. Only use them online though, and even then only late at night if my girlfriend's already gone to bed.

Not in the habit of using headphones live.

I personally like to hook my laptop up to my stereo and listen to the sound of the chips sliding my direction..

usually don't wear headphones but when I do I rock my skullcandy

I've got some Sennheiser CX300 in-ear jobbies which are great for working etc as they block out practically all background noise, but useless for playing poker live.

Anyone got any recommendations for 'phones that will let me hear the table banter and the music?

^^^ Me too. I just use the little white ones that everyone has.

Edit: For my education: what is "skullcandy"?

If you are to search it on google images, it is a really sweet line of noise-canceling-type headphones.
