I'm looking to replace some creative Aurvana headphones.
They will be used to listening to music through my phone.
Sound quality & comfort are my priorities. I don't care how they look.
Budget is up to £200.

Any suggestions please?
 
Use with phone apparently means mobile use in possibly noisy environments etc, right?
That's big and important choise limiting factor if true.

Just to use when I'm gardening/Cleaning my doves out. I don't like in ear earphones.
I think around ear is what I'm after.

Thanks PapaLazaru. I'll check them out.
 
I recommend the 1 more triple driver headphones because i own the triple driver iems and they sound great but i don't own the 1 more triple driver headphones.

It will cost you something like £147 for these headphones and actually i recommend you to listen as to what they sound like so yea i strongly recommend that you consider these headphones and whilst i own many headphones over 10 or 15, these have a lovely fun sound and my other headphones don't sound like these yea all of them.

I have ordered these headphones because i love the sound it is a Immersive sound/surround sound like sound from them.

It certainly is my cup of tea if your after a balanced fun sound that is rich and deep then go with the 1 more headphones anyways i am hooked by how lovely my triple driver iems sound which is why i have bought the headphones and also recommending them here.

The bass will have you tapping your feet, because i for one who owns the iem triple driver who did a sub woofer test, i would give it 3.5/5 rating due to what the sub woofer on the iems sound like so i am hope full the sub woofer bass on the headphones be better but the sub woofer bass veruses my other headphones they do not beat it for sure so if you like a sub woofer presence to the bass then get the 1 more headphones or iems.

The sub woofer does rumble and shake like a sub woofer in the iem which is pretty impressive which is why i gave it 3.5/5 rating and it would damage your hearing regarding the iem.

Anyways take my post with a pinch of salt but i do urge you to listen as to what the 1more headphone or iem sound like for you because i for one love the sound over my 15+ headphones as well as some iems and yea am judging it from the reviews i read and also knowing my iems as to what they sound like.

Dan.

If you don't have noisy roads etc nearby (just bird sounds and such) then open headphones would also work.
And allow also more easily hearing if something unexpected you might want to know about happens nearby.
(higher sound isolation isn't always good thing)
Circumaural is the term for full size headphones, which put pressure on head instead of ears.

While trying to look full size circumaural cans, Momentum 2.0 is somewhat border line:

(big size not good for traveling use)
