Quality Headphone Recommendations

[mks2005]

Hey,

Looking to purchase a pair of fairly high quality headphones.

- Primarily for listening to music.
- Will occasionally be used for music production. (I have studio monitor speakers which I use primarily so this isn't ovely important.)
- Needs to be OK for gaming, not overly fussed if it's not amazing though.
- Budget: £80-£150 or there abouts.

Was looking at the Grado SR125, which seem like a safe bet.

Any insight/recommendations are much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.

I may not go for Grado then. Can you recommend any models similar to the Grado SR125?

I was looking at the Beyerdynamic range, which I've been recommended to try.

Thanks for the great replies!

Just to clear things up, my "music production" consists of electronic music production in my small, home studio. Like I said, primarily my studio monitor speakers will be used, but perhaps if I wanted to create late at night I'd use headphones.

A friend has recommended: Beyerdynamic DT 990 (the non "PRO" version.)

From what I can tell, this seems like an ideal model for me. I've located it for £120, and I think I'm gonna buy.

I'm not making a bad decision, am I?
