As 7Pd says, the best Sennheisers you can get in the price range. They wee on other headphones from a great height. |

Ive used grados and sennheiser and etymotics, but I read some raving reviews for these and they are absolutly awesome. Most comfortable too! You probably won't take my advice but don't say i didn't tell you so. |

sennheisers px200 sound awesome, they cut out a lot of street noise aswell their cables lasted longer than any others i had ever, but after 2 years i gave them back to put in a new cable. luckily just in warranty time. so i say take those, but be careful with the cable. if you carry the mp3 player everyday, dont cram it in a tight pocket :) the day will come when wireless headphones for portables come up and i will celebrate this day every year then... |

|
|
ok |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so ok men i misunderstood stuff with portable headphones but i also need new ones combined to use them as monitors for using to composing music (build-in soundcard) cause my panasonics is fucked up so i just ask for universal choice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D i should get these in the post tomorrow. more on the expensive side,but im excited. |

koss portapro's are good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so it becomes more and more interesting ive checked that beyedynamic ones and they seem very good stuff but also heavyish a bit to use them for mp3 player anyway tnx for thought dude SO WHAT ABOUT BeYeRdInAmIc? whats that brend coz i really dunno much of it |

Beyerdynamic (sorry, not beyerdinamic) are very good headphones! Different models (open/close) so u choose the best for you. Mine's are 770Pro. More . They are very very confortable, I used mines for hours with no problems... Mostly for live monitoring tasks (u can't mix on headphones). Also, mine are close design because I usually place myself close to the drummer. Another thing: They have quite an extended freq range, so u can hear deep bass freqs that will not come out in most systems. Be carefull with that. They show every tiny detail, very accurate. Their model DT150 has been a standard in most studios for a long time. That's it! |

Those are what I use. They are so clear and have such a flat frequency response that you never need to turn them up loud, even in a club. Some people dislike the fact they don't really "cover" your ears the same way bigger closed back headphones do, but they really don't need to- you can hear everything fine and once music is playing on them, it's hard to hear someone talking right next to you. I have honestly never come across a better pair of headphones for DJing. For some reason, they don't have as good a reputation for producing (they're not percieved as bad, but it's always mentioned how good they are for DJing, or stage performance, rather than producing/engineering). I find them great for producing. Only thing I don't give them top marks on is listening. Sound quality on a hi-fi/mixer is great, but when used on portable devices, it's very fuzzy (though to be fair, that's not what it's designed for). The chord is also a bit too short to really let you get comfy in a chair without using an extension, unless it's right up next to your amp. They're also pretty comfy (for my head at least) considering how hard they push against the sides of your head. I've worn them for about 5-6 hours straight before without any discomfort. Fold up very small too- I can fit mine in the pocket of my record bag- something I've not managed with any other closed back headphones. A nice bonus is Sennheiser sell all the replacement bits for them too. So, whilst they're pricey, you can fix anything that breaks on them yourself, comparatively cheaply. Although, that said, nothing on mine has broken in 4-5 years of very heavy use; been used practically every day, gigged, dropped, sat on, landed on top of them in a motorcycle accident, etc. |

these are really good,just had a quick play and seem rather sexy. first 2 things i noticed is how liteweight and how comfy. only drawback as yet is the lead is indeed a little short. tho should be fine for my use. VLARI i think you should look into these suckers. |

sounds like a matter worht investigating, especially if they are as easy on the ears that ceri claims. mine makes my aural receptor units hurt after a wee hour |

I hate to say I told you so, but.... ... I told you so! |

As for monitoring headphones... I don't really have any idea in truth. I have produced music on my HD 650's which sounds really great on those particular phones but turns to slush on lesser-quality cans. I also have a pair of Shure E4C's which are particularly rich in the high end. I suppose the best solution is to buy multiple headphones... some really cheap, crappy technics from Argos as well as some higher quality headphones from Sennheiser. If your music sounds decent across the entire range, then it should sound decent on any setup. |

well im gonna give them a real test after tea.i shall report back. Brisk,yes indeed and thanks. |

tnx for interesting discussing guys but i still need new shit for mp3 player (light ones with bassy sonic shit to make me nod and electrodancing everywhere i am) and for making music when here is any freetime (light monitors which can give better bassy fuckin amazin stereophonic shit as much as possible in price group of same ones) that's what i meant actually sorry for reminding |

and the winner of this thread is: VLARI for replacing 'ears' by 'aural receptor units' <3 |

I just recieved my brand new pair of Sennheiser HD 212Pros. MUCH better than the junky pair of Sony MDR-G56s I've been using for the past six years. I still don't know why I didn't order new headphones sooner. |

sennheiser hd 25 are the best, no protest!! |

I've been Sennheiser's bitch since I dropped a 90kg bottle of oxygene on the aluminum head band of my whatever-the-symbol-is and found absolutely no deformation. |

I've got Ultrasone HFI-650s and they're pretty good. href="http://www.head-fi.org/">head-fi is a good place to look for recommendations and reviews. |

A further recommendation for the HD-25's comfort: I was wearing mine for the past hour and completely forgot I had them on. I stood up to answer the phone and nearly dragged my laptop (which they were plugged into) off the table. |
