    Hi all.

    Looking for a good set of headphones for my brother for Christmas! My budget is €100-€150 but I might stretch it for a good set.

    I have been reading this forum and have been looking at the following sets.

    These

    Or these

    Is there a big difference between the two?

    He will be mostly using them at his PC at home, listening to music. Has anybody any other suggestions? Preferably from Amazon cause I'm ordering a few other things and I know I wont get hit for any extra tax.

    The second option. Sennheiser HD 25-1 II

    They have the cord only on one side, and the headband looks a lot more comfy.

    I'd go with the second option 2

    If it was only between these two I would also go for the 2nd but to be honest for what you are describing I wouldn't buy either of these. The HD25-1 are great headphones but they really are designed for DJing or production use - I've had a set for several years now and love them when it comes to DJing but never use them for just listening to music... they have quite a tight fit (so as not to fall off when DJing etc) and as such can become uncomfortable, also a tad sweaty on the ears from the material used combined with the tight fit.

    What would I buy? I dunno, with your budget probably something like the Grado SR80i or maybe something from AKG.
