New wireless headphone for music

Hi.

I bought a set of AKG Y500 recently which are a bit underwhelming, main reason being they are too quiet!

Looking to therefore pick up a set of wireless headphones around the £100 mark.

Is there a "go to" set around this price point?

Cheers.

Up your budget to £150 and the b&w px5 are available from several places( they were way higher ) . £100 is no-mans land tbh .

Btw not my personal choice and never tried them. I use Sony xm3

£150 is fine really.

Cool, I'll take a look at the b&w.

Thanks.

You might get some better suggestions. I just saw them on offer when I was looking at a 2nd casual use set..

Take a look at the Sennheiser Momentum 3 headphones. Brand new, they're double your budget, but they can be found as B Stock (refurbished/like new) for as low as £170.

Literally just put them on my head after setup and having a listen now.

Lovely sound, very tight and detailed. The bass sounds lovely on these!

Really well made.

Happy, cheers.

crikey , I wasn’t expecting you you to instant purchase them on my suggestion lol. Especially as I’ve never tried them myself. Thought you might have waited on a few more opinions. But glad you like them.
