Headphones

[Tommy B]

I'm a music freak. I always have the volume turned up and pretty much have music on whenever I'm at the PC. However, I'm off to Uni in September and I'm not taking my Hi-Fi gear with me.

I'm used to very good sound quality and I'm searching for some headphones. I've never owned a pair of proper headphones, only inner-ear ones and other cheapy ones for iPods/MP3 players etc.

I have a budget of about £90-£120. Are there any pairs in that price range which are a must have?

Cheers,

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I'm reading up some reviews now. Shows what I know as I would have gone for Bose headphones.

I wish it was a simple as me listening to only one genre of music, but I don't. I listen to everything equally athough I guess genres I listen to slightly more are trance, jazz, classical and rock. Yep, 4 completely unique and different sounds

I like a good bit of bass though, although not dominating bass which makes it sound like a chav ghetto blaster. I like it so that, if the song has a loud thump then the speaker/headphone wil produce a dthump, not so that the speakers produce a loud thump from piano keys being struck.

Cheers

I like the sound of the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pros (By that I mean from reviews, I haven't actually listened to music with them ) although what's the difference between the 80 and 250 Ohm versions.

Also, I will be able to plug these into a normal jack-out like the one on most MP3 players?

Cheers

The source will be my Terratec Aureon USB sound card, or even the laptop's headphone jack.

As I said, when I'm back at home I'll have all my Hi-Fi gear and won't use the headphones at all.
