Or possibly Sennheiser HD218 or HD228? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 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.  edit: http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/pan-rp-htx7e-headphones-cream/invt/5560461614319/&bklist= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave. Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 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.

Crowella Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only will they sound great, but like Neil said, they can stand through time much better 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshyBarth Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave. Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 i bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 201s. They're great, prefect for what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don'tPostThePear Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 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.
