Headphones recommendations?

January 23, 2011, 02:53:48 PM

Hi guys/gals

I am in the market for a new pair of headphones at the moment. My Sony MDR-V700's are near the end of their life (about 4 years ago the right side casing broke so the right headphone does not lie flat on my ear as it should, it hangs away from the ear).

I'm looking to pay about Ł50 maximum for a new pair - I only use tem to listen to my iPod and my laptop at home - no longer need them for dj'ing.

Any ideas on a decent pair?

Re: Headphones recommendations?

When I was looking I googled best headphones and these came up

404 Not Found

http://www.gradolabs.com/frameset_main.htm

GradoLabs.com is place to find all Grado Labs headphones, phono cartridges, and genuine accessories at unbeatable prices. Free domestic shipping on all headphones. Full USA warranty.

They are a neckband type . I love them !! Faults they leak noise. I entertain my fellow travellers on public transport

Re: Headphones recommendations?

Your budget is kind of tight for decent headphones. Are you looking for earbuds only or over the head cans okay as well?

If you're going earbuds, I'd suggest Sennheiser are a pretty decent brand for your buck.

I was a huge sennheiser fan until I got these , and I think they are right on the price range. just realised that link I put up doesn't link to the page I wanted.

If you're after something cheap, anything from Sennheiser should do the trick.

Re: Headphones recommendations?

I bought these secondhand to use at work, they're surprisingly good: Expansive soundstage (usuall the case with these 'open' cans), and decent bass. I thought they're a bargain for the sound quality and comfort.

http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica.../dp/B000CMTV1U

They're huge, so no good for commuting, but GREAT for listening to music the whole day. They complely engulf your ears, the pads are velour or something, soft, and the two pads on top rest on your head and support the headphones.

(Just saw them for 98 AUD which is close to your budget)

I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

Oh, I agree but the cost of those are a bit over Greg's Ł50 budget.
