Good, reasonably priced headphone?

Dave. · 26-08-2011, 11:03 PM

I'm looking for some good headphones for my amp/laptop/ipod. Preferable I'm like an over ear design as I don't feel comfortable with in-ear ones. Maximum I'm looking for spend is about €30. Any help would be great

I ordered myself some AKG K430's but Im not getting them til my birthday so havent had a chance to try them out however they might be an option?

Or possibly Sennheiser HD218 or HD228?

Longan I've a set of panasonic rp-htx7 headphones that i got in Urban Outfitters for €65. I know 65 might seem steep, but for the 4 years i've been in lollage, they haven't put a foot wrong. They've been kicked, dropped, stood on etc, and they're still the best sounding headphones i've ever come across. if you're ever up in dublin, they're worth getting.

If I can get a bit of extra money I'll look into them, but really I'm trying to keep the cost down as I'm planning on buying a new phone at christmas (and iphone if the costs go down enough)

Neil. · 26-08-2011, 11:17 PM

ive been on meatier pay as you go for ages, cos everyone's meteor these days. HTC > iphone tbh.

Dave. · 26-08-2011, 11:19 PM

I'm on vodafone myself cause basically everyone I know is on it so the free texts and calls really keeps costs down. And I got double credit the other day for free

I've heard the HTCs have barely any battery life and they break very easily. I'm gonna wait to see what the iphone 5 is like though.

Pfft, Windows phone for ultimate obscurity

I'd take a look at some Sennheisers. I can't recall the ones that my friend purchased for some home recording, but they cost about €60.

For a really good set of headphones, expect to pay about that much. Not only will they sound great, but like Neil said, they can stand through time much better

'ave a search in Banter, there's a couple of threads about headphones in there with recommendations.

My dad had a set of senheisers, and the Left one broke after about a year. The quality of them was good, but like so many of the ones where the frame is plastic, they eventually gave in to wear and tear. I had the same problem with Skullcandy and Sony. As for those Dr. Dre beats one, don't be a fucking idiot, but i don't think i need to tell anyone that.

I have a pair of Philips SHP2500 which are pretty cheap - and they are decent, I brought them for Music Technology, and a year later, they still work well

quality is good, but they aren't very loud

i bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 201s. They're great, prefect for what I want.

Superlux HD668B, around 40-50$ and in some areas it is better than my Sennheiser HD555, i have both. I am using the Slux but the HD555 is more comfortable and looks much better. On the other hand the HD555 is probably one of the most comfortable headphones ever.
