Do you mean headphones or earbuds? I think the EX85/90 by Sony are generally recommended for earbuds.

Headphones can vary, I have a Sennheiser PMX200, though they're not great sounding and slightly flimsey.

they come with ex082's earbuds as standard (bundled version of the ex85). you'd have to be spending £100 or more on additional earphones to make any significant improvements over the ex082's. as for headphones, well lol. whats the bugdet?

PX100s/Koss Porta Pro/iGrado are very good portable options.

Are you looking for supra-aural (on-ear) or circumaural (full-size, around-ear) headphones?

Koss do some really good clip-ons (especially for the price), if you want to try something like that without a headband.

When my PX100s broke (somebody pulled the wire too harshly and the insulation at the joint with the speaker on one side came away) I replaced them with another pair of PX100s. Funnily enough actually I was at a LAN at a mates at the weekend and tried out his HD595s. Now I'm sure other people do find them to be better than the PX100s, but personally I didn't notice an improvement.

What I'm saying is that the PX100s are damn good, not just for the money, but damn good.

PAULRYAN52 · 3 Jul 2008 at 23:09

think i'll get the same again

i had a pair of PX100s once. used them almost everyday in tough conditions for a year and more. They gave out eventually. I bought some PX200s to replace them.
Wish i still had the PX100s. They sound so much better.
