Topic: I love my Standard Poodle Puppy...except when she chews up my Headphones...

[Hypnocracy]

Madeline is 11 months old...that is her the innocent looking black puppy beside her toy basket...

So...what do I ask for Xmas to replace them...These were Klipsch Headphones the family gave me last year...I guess it was a hint I was playing the old Advent 6003's I rebuilt too loud...they were efficient but bass heavy for my liking...

[OOK]

BeyerDynamic DT990 250ohm version for open back...  as with all beyers there is a warning tho they need a break in period after that... they are rockin good.

BeyerDynamic DT770 250 ohm versions for closed backs.  same holds true as above.  Bass lovers delight.

AudioTechnica ATM-50 closed backs....   I have heard good reivews on these phones as well.  very efficent too.. 32 ohms...

The AudioTechnica ATM-50  are a great headphone.

I have the ATM-30 and I love them. You can find them at ridiculously cheap prices from time to time online. I picked up my pair for $25 and I consider it money well spent.

Sorry for your loss of headphones, but those dogs are awesome! Why chew a dog toy when there are delicious headphones to chew up?

Buy toys for your dog that he / she can chew on every time you see him or her chewing on something they should not give the dog the chew toy. My Golden retriever when he first came home he was a puppy and was chewing on my laptop cord. Gave him somthing else to chew on problem solved.

All that is going through my head after reading the this form topic is:  The Poodle Bites, The Poodle Chews it!  Perhaps it was the poodles homage to the 20th anniversary of Frank Zappa's passing?

That honestly sucks though...my pup did that yrs ago to my AKG's which had been a gift, so I feel your pain in some ways. Sennheiser is still running a sale on all their headphones still....I think? GL!

It can only be one of two things;  either Fluffy likes your music and doesn't you being the only one to enjoy i it , or Fluffy hates your music and this is her way of telling you you're next.

Same thought here as I clicked the thread link.

My suggestion is to first decide if you prefer open or closed backed 'phones, usually determined by the environment in which you plan to use them in, and then make a choice from there.

Or Fluffy thinks you spend too much time listening on the headphones which takes time and attention away from Fluffy.

LOL, thanks for the FZ laugh!

Regarding the OP's original question, another supporter here for the Audio-Technica ATH-M50.  I've had mine for over four years and find all the other monitor-type studio standards I've used (Sony 7506, AKG K240, Sennheiser HD280, etc) a distant second in comparison.  Accurate, comfortable and well-built.  Doesn't hurt that they're also very efficient (as OOK pointed out) so you can even use them with an iPod or other digital music player.  Highly recommended.

Way down in France...


Btw, I hear poodle ears make the best headphone lining.

Another pair you might audition (if open back is OK): Grado SR225.

For the Too much information post...she was locked out of the Bedroom...for reasons that will remain undisclosed...it was her way of letting me know she was not happy with the situation...

 

Closed back...Leaning toward the ATH-M50

[pohaku]

I have both standard poodles and ATH-M50s and they coexist quite well.  Yeah, I think all the oriental rugs in the house are missing a corner after our last puppy.  The price of pet ownership I'm afraid.

[Gutbucket]

Two ATH-M50 versions-
coiled cable version = in rec bag, poodle-like coils.
straight cable version = at home, poodle at foot.
