Portible or home use?

What's the source going to be? Do they need to isolate at all?

Without knowing any more information, I'd suggest the following to look into:
Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (80 Ohm) - Closed
Audio Technica ATH-A700 - Closed
Audio Technica ATH-AD700 - Open

home use and they are gonna be used with a X-Fi Xtreme Music.

I'd go with the Beyerdynamics suggested above by Mansize tissue (lol!), I do like my Audio Technicas, but they sometimes lack base.

Can't you get the A900s/AD900s for under a hundred? or does that depend on whether you get caught on import like I did

i use the budget end (px100 koss ect) so i may be out of my depth but what about the grado sr80s?

I got my HD595's for £80, can recommend.

Don't mean to nick the thread but can anyone reccomend a set for home use under £50?

C64 · 30 Mar 2008 at 22:49

stretch a bit to the goldring dr150 m8 £55-£60 ish well worth it cant really get a much better headphone than that for less than £100
if not get the equation audio rp21 £45 Having owned grado I wouldn't recommend them for any use apart from listening to rock.

Would you prefer open or closed cans, and what's their purpose: gaming, music, movies, etc.?

CliffyBiro · 30 Mar 2008 at 22:54

How about the Sennheiser HD215?

Best one for that amount of money are the HD595.
