buying some headphones... help please

[KittKat chunky~]

kay, my headphones i got have finally decided to call it a lifetime, and packed in.... they where okay seeing as i got 'em for free.... but i need to get some new ones....

i decided im gonna shell out some of my money and buy a good set of headphones that will last me a while (overheads not in the ear)... so this is where anyone who can help comes in...

i dont wanna waste my money (im not rolling in the stuff after all xD ) , so im thinking about it carefully before buying anything


does anyone have any experience with Skullcandy headphones? at the moment their pretty cheap of amazon and i like the look of em... if you either know how good skullcandy, want to give me some advice on some cheapish headphones or can help in any way... then thank you in advance...


at the moment im looking at a pair of skullcandy overheads, they look nice, and i was just wonderin whether anyone knows if their worth the money £30 on amazon, comapred to £60 on other sites...

The last headset you'll ever wear.

Plantronics GameCom 777 Surround Sound Gaming Headset. As in, the best headset that you won't ever replace. If it gets broken somehow, you'll only replace it with the same thing.

Well I was looking into you the best headphones of 2009 and I found a list of the Top 10 on a place all about headphones, you might wanna take a look if you're interested.

Judging from your price range I thought you'd like this one:

And the whole list of the headphones that the place chosen is here:

And about Skullcandy, I can tell you how many skullcandy earphones I have bought probably about 5 pairs now and I was breaking 1 set every month because they were very low cost materials that were used in making them so after getting tired of spending $20-$35 a month I just bought wireless earphones... I know that's not what you're after but these earphones have not failed me yet: http://www.dipecomm.eu/Opera-S2

Wow, I guess 75 Euro is a lot of money for headphones. That's like 110 Dollar.

thanks both of ya, im looking at that site ya linked white... and thats why i asked, cos id heard of skullcandy being notorious for breakin a lot... and yeah 75 euro is quite a lot xD

Converting USD to GBP makes a lot of those headphones that I listed look like they cost a lot less than they were originally , like the one I recommended was went from $79 USD to $49 GBP

h'okay.... ive decided probs to buy another pair i found... only £20 off amazon and the feedback looks good:

I run a small recording studio and needed extra/spare headphones in case of any unexpected breakages or unexpeceted extra musicians. I bought these cos they were so cheap and the reviews at headphone.com were so positive. I expected at best just to not hate them, but Im actually astounded by them. For headphones that cost me £10, these are absolutely unbelievable.
Naturally they can't compare to £50+ sets out there, but how close they come is frightening. They're extremely light and comfortable

how do they look? i figured theyr good for what i need, now that i think about it i dont really need £60+ headphones really...

Well they look good, but what are they called?

[KittKat chunky~]

oh yeah, sorry... sennheiser hd201

[White Wolf Guardian]
