Eu bleurgh Skullcandy.

I'm not sure whether you mean you want suggestions for earphones or headphones, but I'm going to go for headphones.

By the price of the Goldring DR150's which are about £65 there are others that could be pondered over?

You've not said though whether you like closed or open back? Have you got a headphone amp? Are you going to be using these with a portable player or at a desk?

Have a look at the Audio Technica, Ultrasone and Beyerdynamic ranges for example.

In your budget you have the Audio Technica ATH-910, Ultrasone HFI-450, Beyerdynamic DTX900 respectively.

Not earphones people, headphones, it says so in the thread title

I don't have an amp I'd be using with an iPod and laptop when working. I'd ideally like closed so it cuts out the noise, especially when used on a plane

Ideally with my hosting needing renewing, car MOTs etc I've got an upper limit of around £50.

Check out the ones I've suggested, I think since you've said £50 one of those might be slightly over, but they should be around that mark.

If you're not driving it, then perhaps either get a portable amp, or consider one that isn't too high on the impedance numbers.

Thanks I'll have a look at the headphones you suggested

I've got some Grado SR60's which are totally awesome quality. They also have the advantage of making look like a pretentious muso **** when you are out

leowyatt · 30-01-2009, 09:27

haha I'd only use them on flights or around the house, don't tend to listen to my iPod when I'm out as I drive most places.
