Headphones for my MacBook Pro OS X.

I am looking for headphones and I want a good price and good quality. I have checked the Apple store online but only find ipod or iphone headphones. Does anyone have suggestions for headphones?

Do NOT i repeate DO NOT listen to users recommending Bose.
They do not know their audio hardware, and are only drones to the endless Bose advertisements/Over hype.
Bose is overpriced, avoid them they give you very little for the price they charge; and they will break eventually.
Personally, i've learned from experiance that getting headphones, your money is best spent in the 180-250 dollar range.
I can recommened some that i've used, and heard and researched very well
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80 @$180
Over ear design, very good sound quality and isolation.
<200 its VERY hard to beat.
They may not last very long if you take them everywhere with you, these are best used in static locations.
V-MODA Crossfade M-80 @$200
Personally, these are the best phones i've come across for sound quality in the 0-350 dollar range, plus these things will literally last you decades. I've tossed mine off my friends 23rd floor balacony to see if i could break them. They were fine from this INSANE height, keep in mind they hit grass, not concrete.
These are amazing mids-highs bass is realistic and not over the top.
ON EAR design, so they are perfect for portable unit.
V-MODA Crossfade LP2 @$130-199
Over ear version of the above, just not as good sound quality; better bass (fake over the top bass).
DO NOT GET A CHEAP HEADSET, you will replace it sooner then you know, and end up buying a good pair in the end. It ends up costing you more by getting the cheap pair. Stick with earbuds if you need to intill you can save up enough, trust me i've been there and learned the hard way. AVOID all beats, and similar branded crap that runs on batteries, they have TERRIBLE sound quality, also most phones with battery noise isolation have EMI/hissing if you have the ears to hear it (AKA they are toys for children, they sell them on looks not what they do/sound like).
Also note, V-moda has the best headphone warranty i've come across. 2 years full replacement for any issue, after this if you lose/lost/burnt/smash you Vmoda's they will give you a 50% discount on any pair in the future for life. So what that means is if they break, or you toss them in the garbage, you can get them for the same price as the sony headphones for around 99 bucks. You dont pay extra for this warranty coverage.
So V-moda is my personal recommendation, follwed by the German Beyerdynamic brand.

  • When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

    When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

    If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck.  Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch.  If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside.  If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.

  • HT5313 Since upgrading to 10.7.5, I can't use headphones on my Macbook Pro (with retina display) when connected to a Thunderbolt Display.  Anybody else?  Any solutions?

    When I connect my headphones to my Macbook Pro, the sound continues to come through the Thunderbolt display instead of the headphones.  Any help would be appreciated.

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

  • What type of internal hard drive can I use for my Macbook pro?

    HI,
    My macbook pro stopped working and I took it to Apple store to find out what was wrong with it. I have been told that the hard disk i snot working anymore.
    Since I cannot afford to pay Apple's fees, I was told that I can order it online and pput the disk myself.
    Can anyone please tell me what do I need to focus on when buying a hard disk and what would be the best hard disk for my macbook pro.
    Thank you

    A MacBook Pro uses a 2'5" SATA hard drive, so any hard drive with these specs should work. We recommend HGST and Seagate drives, but Western Digital drives also work correctly. Have a look at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    7200 rpm HDDs will give you extra performance. They are not very expensive

  • How will an external Hard drive designed for the macbook Pro work with my White Macbook?  My  white macbook has a Firewire 400 and the G-Tech HD has a 800 to 400 compatible cable for the firewire.

    I am asking this because I want the G-Tech Hard drive  says that it is designed for the macbook pro.  Yet, I want to back up faster with by using my firewire 400 which is not an option on the one designed for the white macbook that does not have a firewire (only a USB port.)  The G-Tech Hard drive comes with the 800 to 400 compatible cable and has 5400 RPM with 750 GB.  Also, I've heard that laptops with low battery (mine all the time)  won't have the power for a bus powered Hard drive (as in no ac plug in adaptor.)  Can I just plug in my laptop?  Any one know the answers from experience with this hard drive?

    As far as I know, if a harddrive works with a Macpro, it should work with the Macbook: if your Macbook is low on power, plug in the AC adapter
    If your Macbook has a firewire port, then it should be fine. BUt i would do somemore research first.

  • Can I return My IMac to exchange it for a Macbook Pro?

    I have had a IMac 27 inch since march and it is the newest one. I dont like it, so can i return it for a macbook pro? I have the receipt and everything that it was bought with.
    Please let me know, because im going to the apple store soon!

    If it is past 30 days then no you cant, which by what you said in your post; you purchased in march. If it is in the past 30 days then you will most likely only be able to do it through corporate apple. To the best of my knowledge the Apple retail stores aren't fit to handle returns and exchanges all that well. So call 1-800-my-apple or chat with an apple store rep to ask about exchanges. If you want directions for how to chat then just ask, they are lengthy so I don't want to type them if you aren't going to use them.
    Remember, you can only exchange/return within 30days, restocking fees may be applied. See Apple, Inc. For more information.

  • How do I use my IMac as a second moniter for my Macbook Pro?

    Okay, So I would like to use my IMac as a monitor for my mbp. The IMac is a 2010 model and the Macbook is 2012 (Not the retina).
    I'm a music producer and I'm sick of having to switch devices so I just want to keep all my stuff on the macbook but the screens way too small.
    What I want to do is use the mbp screen with the mixer section of logic  as well as use the IMac as a second moniter with the arrange screen.
    Is it possible to do this with an ethernet cable?
    if so
    How do I do it?
    Oh and a question on the side, Is mavericks worth the download?
    Thanks!!

    You can use the iMac as an external display for your MacBook Pro, always that you have got a 27-inch iMac. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
    You have to purchase a Mini DisplayPort cable (Ethernet won't work, as this is not designed as a video cable to connect Macs), and then, press Command and F2 keys on the iMac.
    If you have got a 21'5-inch iMac, you can use an application like ScreenRecycler, which uses your network to use the iMac as an external screen

  • IMac or wait for new MacBook Pro 2013 or 2014?

    I have a mid 2007 iMac model, and my PC laptop recently died- I am debating right now as to whether I should buy the iMac 2013 since it was recently updated or just wait for the MacBook Pro update said to be released sometime this month. I'm in need of a new computer for sure and can last for a bit on my iMac (it's staring to get really slow). I personally would want a MacBook Pro so I could bring it to school/classes but also going to partition it play some PC Games (they're not that graphic hungry, just TERA, MMO's).
    I was considering to get the 2013 iMac now and wait until next year for the rumored Sharp IGZO MacBook Pro coming out early 2014 sometime during the summer before next school semester starts. That being said, I don't want to risk the 2014 pro not releasing until AFTER the school semester.
    My second option (the safer route) is to wait for the new 2013 MacBook Pro to release this month (hopefully) and that would be the end of it.
    I just want to get the most out of my money as well as the reassurance that it would be energy efficient, durable to last for the rest of my college years. Thanks!

    So how long is your college course?
    The latest MacBook Pros have just been released. No need to wait any longer!

  • What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13"  mid 2009 model?

    What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model? I have two chargers for two different Mac and don't know which is  thankswhich. I'm really looking for specific details such as voltage/watts and all the rest to idenify my charger.  A link to where to web page where I could purchase the correct charger would also be very useful. Many thanks.
    All help much appreciated. THANK YOU

    Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
    Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
    Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).

  • Can I use my iMac as a 'display' for my MacBook Pro?

    Hi all, I am really hoping someone can help me here.
    I am wondering if I can use my 24" iMac as a display for my MacBook Pro (both running Snow Leopard).
    It's my father's 80th birthday party in about 24 hours time. I am doing up the music and slideshow (thanks Apple - so easy!).
    My plan was to simply take my iMac and use it. However, I managed to drop the wireless keyboard (darn those dogs) and now my keyboard won't work. I have no backup keyboards here (gave the wired one to Dad to use with his Mac mini). I live in a country area with no access to a Mac store and it will take more than 24 hours to get a new one. Went to my local 'other computer' general store last night: I really don't want to buy an ugly black keyboard..... I have just had a great idea:
    Can I network my MacBook Pro and use it as the source for the slide show and simply use the iMac as a display? I have plenty of DVI adaptors but am just not sure how I would go about the software side of things? Or should I simply buy an ugly PC keyboard (and if I do, will the WIndows button work as an Apple button???)
    Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The imac 24 can't be used as a monitor over a DVI connection or the like, Suzanne, but you may be able to achieve what you want to using "Screen Sharing" by networking the two computers. This lets your MBP effectively control what is running on the iMac.
    See HERE for the basic setup. For information about how to access the "shareable" screen from the MBP see HERE.
    One possible problem may be actually getting this set-up on the iMac if it is not already enabled, however, unless you can borrow a keyboard from someone (your password may have to be entered to enable it). You may be able to get around this, if necessary, using the "keyboard viewer" (which you can place in the menubar using System preferences > Keyboard, if you don't already have it there).
    Cheers

  • Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro?

    I am travelling to Europe next week and will be travelling on the road quite often. I would like to get some work done during that time. My laptop battery will inevitably run out of power during that time and I would like to carry an additional power source with me so I can get some extra juice when I am nowhere near an outlet.
    I have the latest MacBook Pro where the battery is not removable.
    Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro? I don't mind if it is a 3rd party product.

    you could get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-XP18000-Universal-External-Netbooks/dp/B002K8M9H C
    it's about the same cost as an extra battery used to be. there's a range of similiar products at Amazon, i'd check reviews.

  • I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

    I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

    It's almost impossible.  The new iMacs have a Target Display Mode, but it's built to do that.  Without ripping your screen out, finding an acceptable power supply, frame, and whatever electronics to convert a Thunderbolt signal to the screen, the cost will be much larger than buying a cheaper HiDef monitor that runs with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable to your MacBook 15.  In fact, you can sell your 17" MBP for a lot of money, unless it's broken or something, buying you a really sweet monitor.
    By the way, I found your answer by searching this forum.  I would suggest using the search function here in the futuere.
