They're shat. Same for anything from Skull Candy. Sennheiser HD380's are great for their price. Not too expensive and should last. Personally tho I wouldn't give up my HDJ2000's for the world even if they are a bit rubbish at bass reproduction.

lol...i have massively errored in putting sensible pricing as that can be read differently dependent on how important it is too you.... i have also heard good things about the Sennheiser's for the price, however i still think this could be a little steep....
am i wanting to much for a set of headphones at £40 max????

Entry level Sony's are brilliant for that sort of price.

Fixed. You might as well buy a pair of Bose headphones while your there to get some more overpriced shat.

Also. Note to OP. Earphones go in your ears, headphones go over your ears ;)

For cheaper headphones I'd probably be looking at Sennheisers, but it's been ages since I've looked and seen what's around.

Do they actually make anything under 500 quid nowadays? Amazing studio headphones though, s**t all over my KRK's :(

Sennheiser CX300-II's. Excellent ear buds - and Cheap!! They also came like 2nd in the gadget show and were one of the cheapest on there. Fantastic sound and bass.

If you shop around you'll find them for about £18.

Are you retarded, or do you just listen to rap music?

I think I get it....your a f**king bass head. Overpriced s**t, they dont even sound good. badly designed, look tacky, feel tacky, are tacky. Designed for utter MORONS who dont have a clue about audio and have only heard music through ipod earphones, so yeah, they sound better, but seriously theres better out there for FAR less money.



For starters OP - tell us - Your price budget, your dads music taste. In ear or over ear?

I have a set of Beyerdynamic DTX80's, little too much bass sometimes but a good eq setting will solve that, great isolation and good sound quality. I wish id of gone for the DTX100's. Well built too. I dont listen to rap or anything techno, just a big mix of 70's style rock and glam rock, and occasional metal song.

i have purchased the sennheissers205's from play, should be adequate for what my dad needs.
thankyou all

however i need some shortly also, so i will be researching again, but with a larger budget...maybe £80?????

Looks like you already decided on a pair but for anyone else after some headphones, play have the goldring NS1000 on offer at £50. They're a great set of noise cancelling cans. Great if you travel lots on buses/trains/planes.

would be great if any of the people who commented before could advise again, so far i have been looking at the Sennheiser's again, after all what people talked about last time i think its between those or Grado's, but the Grado's seem a tad expensive again. i have roughly narrowed it so far to these...

http://www.iheadphones.co.uk/sennheiser-hd-465.html

http://www.iheadphones.co.uk/sennheiser-hd-215.html

any thoughts or personal experience would be helpful... i was also thinking about wireless ones, can anybody advise / dismiss these?

I wouldnt buy Sennheiser. Simply because there are better. But then why would you take my advice? Try some Diddy beats im sure the bass will blow you away..................

On that logic, why did you buy a Renault?

Price I ment.

I bought a Renault because im a student on a part time wage and cant afford a proper car.

I think those 3 will be a good choice price wise, they are also 32 Ohm so will be useable on your ipod or whatever. No need for Amps. Personlly id spend more but youll get into big figures with good cans and amps.

They are closed cans so id expect plenty of bass, 38 ohm so no amp needed. If i was spending that sort of money i might consider a set of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's, they are a similar price. Check Thomann.de out, look for the low impedance version. AT's should be great though :)

My mate has just bought the pro headphones and they are very good. His last beats, model down (not sure on model name) broke on the hinges but these new ones feel miles better built (bit heavier granted) but are very very nice!

Dre Beats headphones sound awfull. I couldn't be dealing with listening to the tinny ness of them.

Sennheiser are always a good shout. Also Shure are not bad.
