Head phone recommendations please

michellez · 6 Oct 2008 at 14:38

I'm looking for some new headphones. I would like some of the over the ear/hook on type ones. Normally I would say in ear but I have recently had inner ear issues and am funny about putting things in them at the moment! I don't want big clunky things either, something that will sit in my jacket pocket. I've got quite small ears which results in me normally having these things falling off my ears too. Good sound quality obviously too

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Shell

Koss KSC-75

The phones I use for gaming over my £150 limited edition Grados. I think that says enough

Fantastic clip-ons, and can be modified to improve them further. Spray them black, drill some holes on the plastic bit over the driver (once taken off for drilling of course), then cut a 2p sized hole in the foam, and you're done. I will be doing these mods soon, but they are minor as they sound excellent anyway. Lively and fun sound with good base. Built well enough too and stay on your ears well.

Mine cost £7 2nd hand off the ebay, but about £14.99 new, and I would not hesitate even at that price. Even the head-fi geeks rave over them

Koss porta pros! Same as the 75's but not clip ons and I think they look nicer thank the 75's tbh.
