    How about the Sennheiser HD-570 at €95 (plus shipping) or the Sennheiser HD-25SP for €85. Both fine sets of cans, the HD570 are more suited to home use, the HD-25SP are great on the bus or in noisy places becuase of the closed cup design.

    I am a dj so i need headphones that block out a lot of outside noise and have a crisp bass sound. The only headphones that i was really 100% happy with were the sennheiser HD-25's. You Can get a cheeper version of these called the HD-25SP. The main differences are the cable going to both ears instead of one and the sound quality is not quite as sweet, but it still beets everything else into a pulp.

    HD-25 sp http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/icm_eng.nsf/root/03759

    Have a look at these and compare them yourself. Persionally i would go for nothing else when it comes to headphones and microphones. Have a look at the commentators for F1 and Football on the tv they will all be using HD-25's.
