Best Headphones for £100
- Thread starter Adam
- Start date
Are you sure they aren't fake mate. Have a quick search on google, ALOT of fakes going about, trying to entice people with a bargain for the new big brand. When I was looking for my beats pros there were alot of legit looking websites, most linked by google, selling fakes for 100 quid off etc etc. Beats have a list of the only legit online stores on their site. I went with pc world.

Well they are off eBay so if they are fake then they will be going straight back under the buyers protect policy. The seller has high feedback and the photo's he used looked genuine, still in the cellophane wrapper etc.
What makes them fake?

for the amount you pay for real beats headphones there not realy that great. yeh the sound quality is good, they are comfortable etc. but you can get the same quality for alot less money. look around, especialy look at DJ headphones. ant test some out before you buy.
id be inclined to send the beats you have got from ebay back and go out and test a few.

Entirely your opinion, plenty of people buy them and rate them highly.
I will wait for the ones I have ordered to turn up and take it from there, though I have a feeling that they are going to be fake!!!
If that is the case then Im back to my original question really as I don’t want to spend the £160+ on the real deal.

go for some Sennheisers, don't be sucked in by paying for a brand!

What would you recommend?
Have tried Beats audio range.
Vastly overpriced, all because of the name on them.
Less of a brand-based prike-hike on Senn than there is on Beats

that's what i meant, Beats are not worth the money, you can get a decent set of Senn's for £100! 
Its not just the branding, its the fact that they are pretty poor all round, they even look ridiculous.
Bad, or basically non existant lows, uber amounts of bass, and mids and highs which arent that great.
I dont think that much to grados either. Their audio signature doesnt suit me but then were all different, Have tried some HF2's and the GS1000.
AKG K701's are good if you dont want massive amounts of bass and a good set of well balanced cans, and Those made by beyerdynamic are also pretty good. DT770's and the 880's are both fantastic, 880s are one of my favorite cans.
Sennheisers are okay, I would reccomend them over beats.
Adam, I know everyone likes different things, but they suck big time generally. I suppose theyre good for a bass head or someone that doesnt really listen to music.

I emailed the seller from the item just to pre-empt him that I have been made aware that a lot of fake units are sold through eBay and that I would be thoroughly inspecting the item once received. I also asked him did he believe they were genuine which he replied yes......! cant see it myself to be honest![FONT="][/FONT]

Yep, as I expected, more fake than Jordans tits!!!
Just waiting for the refund procedure to go through. The seller has been very responsive with regards to my suspicions, lets hope he processes the refund with little fuss. The unfortunate thing is, he knows they are fake and he will continue to sell these on eBay.
So, come on I need to make a "real" purchase, what to get???

Not really bothered about open back as I wont be on trains, buses etc its just for when I am away with work, and general listening etc.
So are these really worth it then, I trust your opinion
.Can get them in an open box for £94.... http://homeavdirect.co.uk/grado-sr80i-around-ear-headphones-open-box/referer-rc_google

Dont really like in ear headphones tbh.
2.2 bar shed.
This.
Beats boil my piss, saw some guy on the plane wearing a set the other day and he looked like a massive c**t. You can say that Senn/Bose/Pioneer sell on brand, but nothing to the scale of the s**t Monster put out.
In that price range, I dont know. Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's and the 880's are two of my favorite closed.
If its for home use go for open cans. Just make sure theyre 32ohm like the Grado SR80i so you dont need an amp.
You might find the Grados have very little bass to begin with. I have a set of AKG k701's, and I thought they were pretty poor to begin with, but now ive owned them for 6 months and Im used to the lack of bass. Doesnt bother me any more.
If you listen to rap and drum and bass or whatever s**t they play these days then open cans are definately not for you.
