Those are $100 on amazon right now, so if you can get a refund, do so quickly:
But yeah, these are one of the highest on my shortlist. I don’t know how durable they are, though.
·
Right now, $99 from Amazon.com (€140 in amazon elsewhere), but usually around 140$/140€.

Cool. Hopefully you think they are more comfortable than I did. These KRK are also on a great sale for $100 http://www.amazon.com/KRK-KNS8400-Studio-Headphones/dp/B004ARUO2S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448684570&sr=8-1&keywords=krk+headphones

> Loud neighbors.
I’ll split the advice in two.
First I’ll tell you what I would do, then I’ll tell you what others will tell you to do, with some source included.
Here’s what I’d do:
- Get good headphones. Not even noise canceling ones (those won’t work for sounds like this), but good over ear ones. I like these studio headphones. That means they do need a special (hardware, usb) driver to bring out the full quality (you can also buy these on Amazon). And yeah, I’d sleep with them on of needed. They’re comfortable enough.
- Get earplugs.
- Just ignore it. People are people, if you really need silence, you should just buy a single family home. For (probably good) reasons, you didn’t, so now just accept it as part of life. This too shall pass.
- If I really can’t do that, I would do the following:
- Look up the local city noise ordnance (all cities have this documented online, you can just google it).
- I would not go in person. I would not leave a letter. I’m not afraid, I just don’t see the point of letting the neighbors know who is complaining. it’s too easy for someone that’s antisocial to take revenge against your property.
- I would not contact the landlord. That’s either someone that’s going to rat me out or it’s someone that’s underpaid and doesn’t care enough anyway.
- Then I’d just repeatedly call the police whenever it’s at least 30 minutes over the time specified in the ordnance and the noise has been going on for at least 5 minutes. One of two things will happen: Either they’ll stop making noise, or the police will get angry. If you remain polite and friendly, and the noise makers aren’t, that anger will be directed their way.
I’ve done this repeated calling twice in my life, in different cities and countries, each time it worked decently. It wasn’t 100% stopped, but it was drastically reduced. And then I did stop calling the police and switched to point 3 instead. If I keep focusing on every little sound they make, I’m just making myself miserable after all.
But really, don’t underestimate the pleasure that can be had if you like music and you have good quality studio headphones with a well tweaked DAC. It’s really not a punishment to sink away in your comfortable chair with the best music in the world being played through high quality headphones. It makes all your problems go away, including your loud neighbors. And for sleeping, you can use your phone and/or a fan to drown out most background noises. Beyond that, it’s just control of your attention (which anyone should practice anyway, since it has many positive effects on one’s life – meditation is the way, give it a try).
Now here’s what others will tell you to do:
What to Do About Loud Neighbors
How to Deal With Noisy Neighbors – 5 Tips
Loud walking neighbors, what to do
- Look up noise ordnance
- Document the offenses
- Give a courtesy knock (my upstairs neighbors will do this occasionally when I’m loud, it doesn’t work, I just forget it within an hour – and if it bothers them so much, they should buy a house).
- Pay your neighbor a visit
- Soundproof the apartment
- Contact the landlord
- File a noise complaint

I sleep in the same room where a teen is screaming while playing PvP. And I do consider myself a light sleeper.
I think the effect of $150 studio headphones (no noise leakage) combined with that youtube rain channel, is so strong it can work for anyone, especially if you combine it with melatonin.
But here’s another approach for the same problem (two other approaches in fact):

Beyond that, it’s just control of your attention (which anyone should practice anyway, since it has many positive effects on one’s life – meditation is the way, give it a try).
Now here’s what others will tell you to do:
What to Do About Loud Neighbors
How to Deal With Noisy Neighbors – 5 Tips
Loud walking neighbors, what to do
- Look up noise ordnance
- Document the offenses
- Give a courtesy knock (my upstairs neighbors will do this occasionally when I’m loud, it doesn’t work, I just forget it within an hour – and if it bothers them so much, they should buy a house).
- Pay your neighbor a visit
- Soundproof the apartment
- Contact the landlord
- File a noise complaint

> Noisy upstairs neighbour, unsure what to do.
I’ll split the advice in two.
First I’ll tell you what I would do, then I’ll tell you what others will tell you to do, with some source included.
Here’s what I’d do:
- Get good headphones. Not even noise canceling ones (those won’t work for sounds like this), but good over ear ones. I like these studio headphones. That means the do need a special driver to bring out the full quality (you can also buy these on Amazon). And yeah, I’d sleep with them on of needed. They’re comfortable enough.
- Get earplugs.
- Just ignore it. People are people, if you really need silence, you should just buy a single family home. For (probably good) reasons, you didn’t, so now just accept it as part of life. This too shall pass.
- If I really can’t do that, I would do the following:
- Look up the local city noise ordnance (all cities have this documented online, you can just google it).
- I would not go in person. I would not leave a letter. I’m not afraid, I just don’t see the point of letting the neighbors know who is complaining. it’s too easy for someone that’s antisocial to take revenge against your property.
- I would not contact the landlord. That’s either someone that’s going to rat me out or it’s someone that’s underpaid and doesn’t care enough anyway.
- Then I’d just repeatedly call the police whenever it’s at least 30 minutes over the time specified in the ordnance and the noise has been going on for at least 5 minutes. One of two things will happen: Either they’ll stop making noise, or the police will get angry. If you remain polite and friendly, and the noise makers aren’t, that anger will be directed their way.
I’ve done this repeated calling twice in my life, in different cities and countries, each time it worked decently. It wasn’t 100% stopped, but it was drastically reduced. And then I did stop calling the police and switched to point 3 instead. If I keep focusing on every little sound they make, I’m just making myself miserable after all.
But really, don’t underestimate the pleasure that can be had if you like music and you have good quality studio headphones with a well tweaked DAC. It’s really not a punishment to sink away in your comfortable chair with the best music in the world being played through high quality headphones. It makes all your problems go away, including your loud neighbors. And for sleeping, you can use your phone and/or a fan to drown out most background noises.

I suspect you’re also dealing with anxiety issues in general. Let me know if you want anxiety self help advice (that’s unrelated to the neighbor issue, that’s still there, that’s still real, but your anxiety issues could make it more severe of an experience for you).

One of two things will happen: Either they’ll stop making noise, or the police will get angry. If you remain polite and friendly, and the noise makers aren’t, that anger will be directed their way.
I’ve done this repeated calling twice in my life, in different cities and countries, each time it worked decently. It wasn’t 100% stopped, but it was drastically reduced. And then I did stop calling the police and switched to point 3 instead. If I keep focusing on every little sound they make, I’m just making myself miserable after all.
But really, don’t underestimate the pleasure that can be had if you like music and you have good quality studio headphones with a well tweaked DAC. It’s really not a punishment to sink away in your comfortable chair with the best music in the world being played through high quality headphones. It makes all your problems go away, including your loud neighbors. And for sleeping, you can use your phone and/or a fan to drown out most background noises. Beyond that, it’s just control of your attention (which anyone should practice anyway, since it has many positive effects on one’s life – meditation is the way, give it a try).

Loud walking neighbors, what to do
- Look up noise ordnance
- Document the offenses
- Give a courtesy knock (my upstairs neighbors will do this occasionally when I’m loud, it doesn’t work, I just forget it within an hour – and if it bothers them so much, they should buy a house).

- Soundproof the apartment
- Contact the landlord

I’ll split the advice in two.
First I’ll tell you what I would do, then I’ll tell you what others will tell you to do, with some source included.
Here’s what I’d do:
- Get good headphones. Not even noise canceling ones (those won’t work for sounds like this), but good over ear ones. I like these studio headphones. That means the do need a special driver to bring out the full quality (you can also buy these on Amazon). And yeah, I’d sleep with them on of needed. They’re comfortable enough.
- Get earplugs.
- Just ignore it. People are people, if you really need silence, you should just buy a single family home. For (probably good) reasons, you didn’t, so now just accept it as part of life. This too shall pass.
- If I really can’t do that, I would do the following:
- Look up the local city noise ordnance (all cities have this documented online, you can just google it).
- I would not go in person. I would not leave a letter. I’m not afraid, I just don’t see the point of letting the neighbors know who is complaining. it’s too easy for someone that’s antisocial to take revenge against your property.
- I would not contact the landlord. That’s either someone that’s going to rat me out or it’s someone that’s underpaid and doesn’t care enough anyway.
- Then I’d just repeatedly call the police whenever it’s at least 30 minutes over the time specified in the ordnance and the noise has been going on for at least 5 minutes.

It’s like impossible to make your decision even harder but have you looked at the KRK KNS8400 and AKG K545.
·
I’m in love with my KRK KNS8400s. https://www.amazon.com/KRK-KNS8400-Studio-Headphones/dp/B004ARUO2S
Great sound (super flat/balanced), relatively comfortable. They aren’t very portable though, if anything.
·
I do a lot of long session gaming (anywhere from 4-10 hours + breaks), comfort and build quality are top priorities. I don’t play games like CSGO that rely on keen positional awareness. I don’t listen to much music either, and if I do it’s not very often.
Budget ~$100, flexible
Source Onboard sound with my PC, and my laptop. I have no DAC or amp, and I have no plans of getting one.
Requirements for Isolation Closed back. Used at home/in private. If you can convince me that open backs would be significantly better, go for it.
Will you be using these Headphones in Public? No
Preferred Type of Headphone Full-sized over ear
Preferred tonal balance Anything that isn’t bass heavy.
Past headphones
1st: HyperX Cloud
+ Really comfortable, semi-portable. Good sound.
– Sound started popping and crackling a lot after about a year and a half, headphones started to deteriorate overall. Built-in mic was unnecessary, already have one.
2nd: NVX XPT100
+ Ridiculously comfortable, easy to hook up to my laptop if I wanted. Good sound.
– Build quality was less than ideal. I’ve owned this pair for around ~11 months. The pads are deteriorating, the headband has cracked on the right side and completely snapped on the left. I’ve super glued it back together, but it might snap again if I twist the headphones on accident. I doubt it’s worth replacing the pads and headband if it’ll just break within a year again.
I want to say that I’ve been careful with them, but since they’ve deteriorated so much already, that’s obviously not the case.
Preferred Music I rarely listen to music while gaming. If I do listen to music, it’s really only going to be Switchfoot, their music is primarily hard rock and alternative.
What would you like to improve on from your set-up I need something that lasts much longer than these two headphones have. I absolutely loved them when they were working in top condition. I’ve tried on my dad’s ATH-M40x’s, and while they sound nice and feel really sturdy, it’s really tight on my head and the pads feel rock hard.
I’ve looked at the KRK KNS8400 and AKG K545. Both seem fairly solid, but if someone could steer me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated.
