between $100-$200 I'm looking for unparalleled crisp audio and excellent bass. Bass is very important. I know for a fact that portability raises the price of headphones. Portability is not important, I don't want to comprimise sound quality for portability. |

Senheider hd590 (open ear) I can wear it for hours! |
||||||||

Senheider is obviously some cheap ripoff brand of Sennheiser and is not nearly as good in quality. |

HD 590 seconded look at grado too, cheaps in u.s. |

i have grado SR80's. The sound great and you have the added bonus of looking like a 1960's radio technician when you wear them. |

I've had both Grado's and now Sennheiserzzz and I think it depends on what you're looking for. The Grado's are excellent for soundstaging and distinctness of sound, but I think the 580's tend to be fuller and more warm. The bass is MUCH better on the 580's I might add. |

Sennheiser HD-25 rulez. |

dont get the akg k501, i found out they lack bass with lots of powering the problem isnt real obvious (i guess that what it had when i tried them in the store) when trying out i thought sennheiser sounded like crap though |

Ultrasone 650's are the best and most comfortable headphones I've ever used. I just dumped my Sony 7506's for them. The headphones are unique in that the sound is aimed at your outer ear rather than directly into your ear. This pretty much nullifies ear fatigue. I can where these things for hours on end. The sound is of course, fucking amazing. They create a surround sound almost. Definately give these a listen if you can find them. |

HD 265 linear... for people who take the bus... these are the best for sound containment... plus they double as earmuffs for those of us who live in cold cold places... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
but really you should try them (on different systems too, or on a system similar to yours) |
||||||||
|

Yeah I just started hearing about those, most definitely want to check them out. |

£100 for a pair of headphones? you're out of your mind |
||||||||

not if you work on headphones almost exclusively. hearing damage is irreversible. the decision to use cheap headphones could affect your joy of music later in life. i have tinnitus caused by composing, mixing and mastering using the over-hyped Sony 7506's when i was making industrial and hard trance. i believe they're 159 euro, but i don't suffer any ear pain from the Ultrasone's i'm now using. the expense is worth it for me, if it means my hearing loss is kept plateaued. i certainly understand not wanting to spend a great deal on headphones if you don't listen to music for hours on end, day after day. |

I have grado sr-80's too. I got them cause they have a 300 dollor sound for 100 dollars. They are the best in the price range. I love them. They have a very delicate sound. It's spooky the detials that come out. They don't color the sound. They present the sound beautifully transparent. Whether it can give good bass and treble response is a non-issue. Of course. They are more than that, though. But they kinda hurt. I wrapped an old winter hat around the head part and tied it with rubber bands. Much better now. |

Its $100, not £100 |
||||||||
|

on some headphones forum i read the grado's easily impress beginning listeners but then you want sennheiser or akg, or whatever. also they only deliver in the us |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its $100-$200 = £50-£100 |

i've got a pair of Grado SR-60's and they are crafted by angels in heaven, great sound. they aren't noise canceling but the sound is crisp and the bass is super nice. |
||||||||

|
159 euro is the retail i believe. they street for $200. |
||||||||

thanks for your reccomendations; i am narrowed to the Sennheiser 650 expensive, but they seem like they will be suitable. i wish stores would carry these. that way i'd be able to compare in-store. thanks!!!!!!!! opinions will still be appreciated |
