justin_tx_16 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Truly high quality headphones rarely have volume controls built in, but a simple inline volume slider can be added on with ease. Just buy one, their cheap and normally good enough. RadioShack sells them, digikey and partsexpress as well. Ocer the ear, not on the ear, any preference on open or closed headphones? Open typically have better soundstage/transparency and are my headphone of choice, when I'm not enjoying my IEMs. However, for privacy, to not wake up the person next to you, closed headphones are the way to go. The sound might be a BIT more fatiguing but if you're watching a movie, probably not an issue (not like a 7 hour music session for instance). Let me know which type you want, open or closed, and I can make some recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
