The EH 150's are btter than the others ones.

Ill get specs in a bit.

I may just look at reviews of the phones then see which ones I prefer, thats all that matters at the end of the day really.


What would you go for?

Ive heard good things about Skullcandy.

Sony MDR-XD200...i have them....fantastic!

These

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...HEADPHONES.htm

They are fantastic...i had one set for 2 years,but due to heavy use one of the speakers went.....i brought another of the same pair the next day....ive had these pair for over a year now and they are still going strong.

The sound quality from them is realy good for a £15 set,and because they are padded they are nice to wear.

They was £19.99 when i got them.

when my current ones fail again..il buy another set again,2 year life span for £15 is good imo.

Okay thanks, I think I'll go with them. I can pick them up for £20 delivered, which saves me a bit of cash

Okay guys...Again.

I need some new headphones.

The right side speaker has gone, don't know how but it's not producing any sound anymore, I think I have some bad luck with cheap headphones lol.

I'm now looking for something in the £50/60 bracket.

Any Suggestions?

I'm pretty keen to pick up a set of Sehnns.

I agree with the pair of sony's, I have a bose set now, but those sonys are great for the price. Had them for 5 years, still have them, just not in use.

I have a set of Sennheiser HD 457. they are beautiful. If I had the choice again I would´ve picked closed. The open earphones let a lot of external noise in. The 220 was my favourite but I also ran over the cables with the chair (a couple of thousand times ) and mashed them.
