Three years ago I got interested in headphones. I wanted to buy one that would last long and provide really great sound quality. After searching for a while, I bought the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II.

It's been three years and I'm still using it everyday. Whether it's for listening to music or podcast during commuting or at home while watching movies/series or listening to music while surfing the net. The sound quality is really great and provides real value compared to some cheap headphones. There are other great brands, but Beats by Dre aren't one of them.

If you are buying a high price headphone, don't download your music on Youtube or download some cheap 128 kbps songs. Try to buy/downoad 320 kbps mp3 or FLAC files.

Maybe it's the cheap audio hardware that I'm using, but so far, I haven't seen much difference between those. How different is the experience?

It feels like the difference between a DVD and a Blu-Ray, but instead of it being images, it's sounds.

If I use quality audio hardware, that is. Sounds like a worthy spending reason. Thank you.
