Earphones breaking all the time… cause?
So I’ve recently went through my 4th pair of earphones in the last 6 months… 2 iPod ones, 1 Senheisser, 1 Sony. Every single time, they start developing this popping/buzzing sound, which I’m sure means that I blasted out one of the frequency ranges (usually bass). I listen to trance and other loud dance music mostly, so I usually turn the volume up pretty loud. I also use Fruity Loops to mix tunes sometimes. I like to use the frequency filter for special effects a lot (I especially like filtering the low pass for a compressing effect) and also the equalizer to turn up the bass and treble and lower the mid range. So I’m guessin my earphones are breaking because of one of these two reasons. My question is… what can I do to not break the bass?
I’m gonna buy a semi-expensive pair of headphones soon… so I’d like to find out what I’m doing wrong before then. Tanks
It sounds like you’ve been using some sub-par headphones that can’t handle the specific frequencies you’re tuning in to. If you’re going to be producing and doing DJ stuff, you’re going to have to invest in a good solid pair. I suggest the Sennheiser HD 280 Professional Headphones. These are one of the higher end headphones available and they are moderately priced at around $80. I can almost guarantee you these ones won’t break due to the music being played through them. In fact, the only way they’ll break is if you jump on them. They are that good. I’ve been a DJ for a couple years now and I bought some about a year ago. They work like new and have been a dream to use. Here’s a link to some reviews on the HD 280′s.
