**Top 5 Favorite Headphones for Under $200**

As someone who spends a lot of time watching videos and editing audio, I have to say that having good quality headphones is essential. Over the years, I've tried out many different pairs, but some really stand out from the rest. In this article, I'll be sharing my top 5 favorite headphones for under $200.

**Audio-Technica ATH-M50s**

For sound quality, there's no beating the Audio-Technica ATH-M50s. These are my go-to headphones for monitoring audio and getting a flat accurate sound. They're not only great for editing but also for listening to music or watching movies. I've had these headphones for a while now, and I can honestly say that they never disappoint. They have a great seal, which means they block out external noise and help me focus on the audio in front of me. Plus, they're incredibly comfortable, even after hours of wear.

I also love that they come in different colors, including red and black versions, as well as an all-black version. The white version was reviewed by another channel, but I can personally vouch for the quality of these headphones. They're a bit pricey at around $190, but trust me, they're worth every penny.

**Jaybird BlueBuds X2**

For earbuds, I highly recommend the Jaybird BlueBuds X2. These are my go-to earbuds for everyday use, and I think they're an excellent choice for anyone looking to get into wireless earbuds. They're comfortable, sound great, and have a long battery life. Plus, they're super portable - you can fold them up and take them with you wherever you go.

I've worn these earbuds for hours on end without getting tired of them, which is saying something for earphones that are so small. The band is incredibly light, and the sound quality is top-notch. I think these are a great choice for anyone looking to get into wireless earbuds, especially if you're on a budget.

**Sony XB40**

While not as affordable as some of my other picks, the Sony XB40s are definitely worth considering. These headphones have gotten a lot of love from fans, and for good reason - they sound amazing. They also come in a stylish design that looks great with Google Glass, although I wouldn't recommend wearing them both at the same time.

One thing to note is that these headphones don't seal as well as some other options on this list, which means you might hear more external noise. However, this isn't a major issue for me - I'm usually running around or editing video, so I don't need perfect sound isolation anyway.

**Clips Sports**

For those looking to get into earbuds without breaking the bank, I highly recommend the Clips Sports. These are an excellent choice for anyone who wants to try out wireless earbuds but doesn't want to spend a fortune. They're super affordable and actually sound pretty good.

One thing that sets these apart from other earbuds on the market is their comfort - they're seriously pillowy soft, which is hard to find in earphones. The band is also incredibly light, making them easy to wear all day long.

**Denon**

Last but not least, I want to give a shoutout to Denon, who makes some amazing headphones that are worth checking out. While not necessarily the cheapest option on this list, they offer great sound quality and comfort at a price point that's hard to beat.

I've had the chance to try out their headphones, and I can confidently say that they're some of the best I've ever used. They're comfortable, sound amazing, and are built to last. If you're in the market for new headphones, I would definitely recommend checking them out - and if you want to see more reviews, there's a video from another channel that's worth checking out.

**Beats by Dre**

Unfortunately, Beats by Dre is not an option when it comes to headphones under $200. While they do make some great products, their high-end options are way out of my budget - and I'm not convinced they're worth the price.

That being said, if you're looking for a more affordable option from Beats, there are still some great choices available. They offer a range of mid-range headphones that are worth considering, although they may not be as good as their high-end options.

**Final Thoughts**

In conclusion, these are my top 5 favorite headphones for under $200. Each pair has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, but all share one thing in common: they're great. Whether you're a musician, editor, or just someone who loves to listen to music, there's something on this list for everyone.

So if you're in the market for new headphones, I would definitely recommend checking these out. And if you have any questions or want more information, feel free to ask!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what is up guys I'm Kay PhD here and I've been really into a few pairs of headphones recently I'm getting more into the audio game and also by getting into this audio stuff I've found that a lot of people never really get to listen to their music on anything other than the earbuds that come with their phone may be the classic earbuds that come with the iPhone and that's fine for a lot of people but once you first listen to a actual decent pair of good headphones you'll never want to go back to those old iPhone earbuds probably ever again plus it's you know it's about to be the back school season so why not everyone's got a budget maybe you want to get a new sweet pair of headphones to go with your new back-to-school laptop this is why I'm making this video this is without any further ado the top 5 headphones on my list for under 200 bucks number five is the Bayer dynamic custom one pros now these are really likable headphones and they're actually a great introductory set of headphones to anyone who's getting their first nice pair I would say that pretty much all of it is likable I'd say it's very comfortable they actually sound pretty good and actually really good-looking headphones for once a lot of these headphones aren't the best looking but you can actually customize the actual side plates to get a different sort of pattern or color look if you want so those are nice and the real custom feature that sticks out about the custom one pros is the tunable bass port so if you're used to a more bass heavy booming sound you can open up the bass port on the bottom of the headphones and get that time of sound if you don't like all that basing you want a more high-end mid friendly sound you can close up the bass port and get that sound too so that's pretty much the only pair of headphones that I recommend that actually has this feature and it's definitely under 200 bucks which is really nice number four is the grotto SR 80 eyes now one could argue that the grotto SR 225 eyes would probably be better because they're I guess exactly $200 right now but the SR 80 is I would say are a steal for the price you can get them at they're often under $100 right now and the reason these are so good as these are the perfect introductory pair of headphones for open back design a lot of the headphones you see out there most of them probably 90% are closed back headphones and that's by design a lot of them are like that but these open-back headphones are designed more for studio use they leak a lot more obviously but they give you that room sound it's very cool that we get to hear the instruments as if they're literally positioned around the room with you it's almost like you're sitting next to the artist that's singing it's really cool and you can just snap along the beat and you hear yourself snapping just fine something you can't hear and a noise cancelling or close back prayer headphones so the SR ad is are a great introductory pair of headphones for the open back design and I'd recommend them at their price they're really good number three is the v-moda crossfade LPS now these are already a very popular pair of headphones a lot of people already love them if you check out the reviews you'll see they're pretty much all glowingly positive what's nice about these is first of all they come in a bunch of different colors there's a black as a silver there's a white there's a I think a purple version as well there's a bunch of different ways you can get this done and what's also nice is these are a very comfortable pair of headphones so you'll see again with all the very popular reviews about this that these are really comfortable easy to get used to nice to put on doesn't weigh too much so it doesn't clamp your ears down for too long they're very nice headphones and they're very popular so if you ask anyone who's used these headphones what they think about them they'll probably recommend the minutes on a heartbeat over anything else they've tried there is also now a version 2 of the crossfade LPS and I haven't listened to them yet so I can't really determine if it's just another version just to make more money for them but I do know that the originals are pretty much trustworthy they sound great can't go wrong so the number two and the number one on my list are the only pairs that I use pretty much daily on a daily basis there are also very different types of headphones for very different purposes my number two right here is the j-bird blue buds ex I cannot get enough of these headphones first of all you can get either a black or a white design so you can get all black stealth black looks really cool or you can get this design which I ended up going with by myself which is the black and white sort of a stormtrooper look and there are a completely wireless earbuds they're wireless you can put them on they can basically hook around the back of your neck plug them in and you're good to go and they connect to your device via bluetooth so your iPod your mp3 player your phone turn on Bluetooth pair it up and you're getting high quality music immediately what's nice about these is they're they're wireless so you wouldn't expect them to last that long on battery and as you can see you can't even tell where the battery is honestly to be honest the battery is actually in one of the earbuds here but these last seven eight nine hours on a single charge and actually charged by just opening up the back here and plugging it in via a USB they're really well built they last a long time on a charge and they sound phenomenal they sound incredible I don't really ever leave the house without these like any time I'm walking to the train walking to class walking back from the train I always have the blue buds ex they're just that convenient they're small compact portable can't really ask for much else they also come with a lot of accessories where you can put them in your ear and they will basically never fall out so you can run around I can't actually hear myself not because they seal so well but they never fall out of your ear you can run around with them like I do you can practice with them on I love these and I would recommend everyone at least have some pair of wireless headphones it's one of those things where once you get wireless earbuds you never really want to go back and this is such a good experience that I recommend these in a heartbeat try them at least they're incredible they're also the only pair of headphones on this list that you can wear with Google glass though I wouldn't recommend it because they'll go out looking a little bit like a cyborg with all this stuff on your head but honestly it's possible and I can't say that about any of the other pairs of headphones I've recommended but it's definitely a thing to consider just how portable you guys are so this leaves are number one which you've probably all predicted by now if you've watched the rest of my videos it's the audio technica ath M 50s these are my go-to headphones for sound quality period now III do have a budget for audio equipment and I could spend four or five hundred dollars on headphones but this there's a there's a point of diminishing return I don't use an amp with these headphones I just plug and go and get incredible quality and the m50 s are really trustworthy if I want a flat accurate sound if I want to know what I'm getting when a monitoring audio for maybe my camera or from a microphone I go for the m50 s by default I also listen to these a lot on an airplane because even though they're not exactly noise cancelling they have a great seal now these are the red and black version of them I also have the all-black version and if you want to see the review of the white version there's a TLD today video where he goes over them but they're also a pretty stylish looking pair of headphones especially in the all-black they look pretty good and they just go right over the year and they're also I can't recommend these guys enough honestly if you go to my original review video which is maybe a little embarrassing because it's an older video but if you check that video out in the description below you'll see just how much I love these and I can't find any flaws about these headphones there they're like they take every single mark where they're comfortable they look good they sound great they're priced well they're built well everything about them takes every box and they're priced like a hundred and ninety bucks or less all the time so I'll have the links to purchase all the things that I talked about in this video below and if I've reviewed the headphones that I talked about I will also put a link right below that like button for you guys to check them out but at the end of the day this is the number one pair of headphones that I recommend to basically anyone who asks me what kind of headphones they should buy but again the rest of the top five that doesn't mean they're bad that means they just weren't quite as incredible as these again the jaybird bluebloods x2 if you're going to get earbuds at all please get those just do it they're really good I also just forgot to mention you can fold these up so they take the portable check mark to I'm done also some honorable mention the clip s4 series they're actually good they're good earbuds and they're actually really really cheap so if you want to get a really cheap beginner starting pair of earbuds that are better than the ones that came with your iPod or iPhone clips s4s sony xbar a crowd favorite people love them because of the way they sound and the comfort holy crap they're comfortable I've worn them for a little bit I don't actually own a pair but I can vouch for the fact that they're just pillowy soft and really lightweight the band up top is really light and they're incredibly just really comfortable I love wearing Denon or Dean on don't know how to pronounce it but they have some also really great headphones now these might not always fall under the $200 mic or I understand but I'll leave a link
