listen to this man, the extra cash is well worth it in this case. I bought some UE headphones for £170 and have gone back to the e2c's I already owned.
 
I've always thought headphones produce better sound quality? Not really too bothered with them being big and around the head.

Also I heard headphones dont damage your hearing as much as earphones?

It's my opinion that headphones don't damage your hearing as much as earphones. They are more than likely capable of doing so but it's dependant on how people use them.

More people wear giant ear cups indoors and turn the volume up to a moderate level. However you tend to see people with earphones wearing them outside because, well, they're a little more discrete. The volume tends be pumped up to overcome e.g. traffic sounds etc. It's why you can get pieces to fit over earphones to block out external sounds so you can then lower the volume, exposing your ear to less energy. I bought a set from the highstreet once and I think they're a good idea.

Thats what I've allways thought also :) ,


Koss Porta Pro's, Can be googled for as low as £19inc VAT :eek:



I'm a little bias when it come to these headphones as I just love them full stop, I think for under thirty quid your be hard pressed to find anythink that sounds as nice as these, very very nice base, most people I've gave them to for an audition have been very impressed, nice wide sound stage also, the styling's not to some peoples taste but dam they are comfy, the extra pads that rest just above your ear really makes a difference.


SENNHEISER PX 100, Can be googled for as low as £25inc VAT



Pretty similar to the koss porta pros, a tad better in the mids, not at as warm sounding or basey as the porta pro's either and even the sound stage is not as wide but saying that the quiality for the money is very good, I'd go so far as to say that the sound quality is just a bit better on the px-100's but I prefer the way the sound is delevered on the porta pro's. The px-100's also fold up very neatly into a hardend plastic case, sounds gimicky but actually they very easy to fold and still quite robust depsite having this added feature
