A shoutout to the JayBird BlueBuds X headset. I have used a few wireless sets but did not get the clean and accurate sound from them till I tried these. This model is a few years old and JayBird has an updated set available called the Freedom set. I love them when I am at work and can use them... very comfortable... great bass, mid, and treble range... call... text.. and commands on demand.
However..... Apple will be selling a new Airpod wireless set becoming available soon from Apple (late October?). The design and quality looks impressive, but not on the shelves yet. I will probably replace my much-used JayBirds with these... as long as they work fine with an IPhone 5 or 6. They are predicted to be hugely popular here.... http://oigel.com/apple-airpods-relea...hones-11810959

Sound Cloud uses a 128kbs stream so again $20 head phones will reproduce everything available.

In the Pro Audio world the thinking used to be that open back had less reflection issues , although I suppose with modern computer design for closed back maybe it is not the issue it once was .

Is your interest more for recording purposes or general music appreciation? Just curious.

As stated budget can determine what you purchase. Also, as with most things herein, there is no best. If you have headphones, use them. I simply use my Beats wired or bluetooth and they work fine. I would never worry about using my studio headphones for listening to YouTube recordings. The Beats are great because the are lightweight, comfortable (essential for long plane rides), fold up compactly and sound very good.

I'm a cheapskate when it comes to headphones...
Sennheiser HD 202 $34.95 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-a...phones&index=5 Sound much better than their price point. |

Whether for general listening or for recording studio purposes, my requirements are the same with only one difference. For both purposes, I want the most accurate headphones I can afford. For studio use, closed, circumaural headphones are necessary so that the microphones won’t pickup the sound the headphones reproducing. For general listening, either circumaural or supra-auralheadphones will do.

I was absolutely blown away by these headphones. Build quality and sound is way above their price point. I would have blind test chosen these phones over others that are more than twice as expensive. And--they fold flat. And--they have a single cord. That is replaceable/up-gradable.

When actually recording ( tracking) I use some Sen HD 280's closed back because there is virtually no bleed into the mic.

I can attest to Oppo for great value, I have their older BPD -83 Blu Ray player for my home theater system and it is quite good IMO
