Which headphones

gaybeer

I am looking to get a set of headphones. I have done a bit of research but there is almost to much choice and information out there!! I am looking to spend anywhere from €50-€150 on them.

I would rarely if ever take them out of the house, maybe if I had a long flight so mobility wouldn't be a huge concern.

What woud you guys recommend? I would appreciate any information on which ones are good and why you liked them and any recommendations on where is good to buy. I was in Peats and it didnt seem too bad.

Just picked these up, they're damn impressive.

Shipping is a lot but the price of the headphones is cheap enough to negate that. You may want to pick up these pads also, to improve comfort.

The headphones are semi-open, so they leak a little bit and let in some noise, but they should be ideal for using at home.

How do you think they'd fair on public transport? Is your neighbour going to be listening with you?

Bose Around Ear Headphones
I've tried them yesterday in shop and they are great, sound is realy clean and have great bass, only problem is that they costs €149.

They're not exactly the best for portable use, since they don't fold or anything and are quite bulky.

Hmm, portable headphones are always tricky. The ultimate is probably the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II which have ridiculous noise reduction but they are just above your price range.

This would be a good place to start looking http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/433318/

These are a pretty good option http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002KQ7ISO/ref=asc_df_B002KQ7ISO2914384?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B002KQ7ISO
