Headphones?

[ginger_pat]

Ok i know you get a lot of headphone threads but theres just too many.

I have just taken music tech at As level and my teacher says that i will need some cuped headphones i need a pair tht won't bleed and have a great sound.
Will be using software like cubase etc.

My budget is about £20 but if i see a significant difference than i can stretch to £30.

Thanks pat

thanks but what makes goldrings so good?

i looked but wasn't sure if there would be a significant differerence to a pair of Sennheiser for the same price?

They are open too I think? Not quite in line with your minimal sound leaking requirements..

Sorry to cound like an absoloute noob but what does open mean?
thanks

Not noob at all mate, only found out myself when i was looking around a few weeks ago

It basically means that the cans themselves arent sealed, like someone could blow your ear while your wearing them.. more or less

Obviously this means sound can get out pretty easilly too, so people nearby will hear a lot of what you hear..

thanks
well tht wouldnt be the best anyone reccomend any good Sennheisers my teacher said these would be the best but i thought id rather ask the expereinced ocukers

You should look at closed back such as Koss TD85 Black Full Size Stereophone < google those and it will give you a few good sites for closed back headphones.
I'm pretty sure most in this price bracket are much of a muchness though.
If you want the absolute best for £30 I suggest checking out the headfi forum.

Im just not sure about spending £30

been looking at the Sennheiser eH150 and the Sennheiser HD205 both £17
which is more in budget any of these two not tht good

i prefer the 205s atm they just look better and more stable also a lot of reviews saying they dont bleed that much.
