New Headphones For Music and DVDs

Greenlizard0 · 25 Jan 2006 at 13:02

My MOS 1001's are starting to fall apart from using them for many years and I was needing a new pair.

What do you guys suggest? I don't really play games but my biggest use is for music playback and watching dvds.

I have a creative audigy EX souind card.

I just picked up a pair wireless of Wireless Sennheiser RS 140's and they are top notch. You can walk any where around the house with them on and there is no reduction in quality.

Even if you don't want to go for Wireless headphones, I'd check out the Sennheiser range as there are probs the best brand for top quality headphones.

What's your budget? If you look hard enough you can pick up some e4g's for £120, but if you're budget's closer to £40 look at the e2c's

Take a look at the grado range, they are some of the best you can get. SR-60's especially impressive for the price

go look up the audio-technica range on audiocubes.com

the ath-500 to 900 should be just what your are after - well built, sound great from a pc source and comfortable for long periods of use

Teifiterror and Boz those headphones look sweet as cindy crawford

Does anybody else have any suggestions?

As a reference point i'm using dj1001 MOS ones at the moment i'm looking for something that sounds even better (which i'm not sure if i'll believe because these are very good

)

find a local hi fi dealer, they would quite happily let you listen to some and then you can make your choice.

I've got the Sennheiser HD595s, excellent sound quality imo and don't need an amp to drive them. They're £100-120.
